Abstract
BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal peptides are involved in modulating appetite. Other biological functions attributed to them include the regulation of lipid homeostasis. However, data concerning PYY remain fragmentary. The objectives of the study were: (i) To determine the effect of PYY on intestinal transport and synthesis of cholesterol, the biogenesis of apolipoproteins (apos) and assembly of lipoproteins and (ii) To analyze whether the effects of PYY are similar according to whether cells are exposed to PYY on apical or basolateral surface. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Caco-2/15 cells were incubated with PYY (1-36) administered either to the apical or basolateral medium, at concentrations of 50 or 200 nM for 24 hours. De novo synthesis of cholesterol, cholesterol uptake, and assembly of lipoproteins were evaluated through the incorporation of [(14)C]-acetate, [(14)C]-cholesterol, and [(14)C]-oleate, respectively. Biogenesis of apos (A-I, A-IV, E, B-48 and B-100) was examined by the incorporation of [(35)S]-methionine. The influence of PYY on protein and mRNA levels of many key mediators of lipid metabolism was analyzed by Western blot and PCR, respectively. Our results show that PYY influenced cholesterol metabolism in Caco-2/15 cells depending on the site of PYY delivery. Apical addition of PYY significantly lowered the incorporation of [(14)C]-cholesterol likely via the reduction of NPC1L1, stimulated intracellular cholesterol synthesis probably through an increase in SREBP-2 expression, whereas it concomitantly increased apo A-I synthesis and decreased LDL secretion. In contrast, basolateral PYY reduced the production of chylomicrons (CM) as well as the biogenesis of apos B-48 and B-100, while lowering the expression of the transcription factors RXRα and PPAR(α,β). CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: PYY is capable of influencing cholesterol homeostasis in intestinal Caco-2/15 cells depending on the site delivery. Apical PYY was able to decrease cholesterol uptake via NPC1L1 downregulation, whereas basolateral PYY diminished CM output through the biogenesis decline of apos B-48 and B-100.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
