ApoB‐crescent, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)‐lipid droplet amalgamation structure, is a useful marker to indicate aberrant lipidated apolipoprotein B accumulation in the hepatocyte ER. Blockade of the ER‐to‐Golgi transport by either vesicle transport inhibitors or dominant‐negative Arf1 caused a significant increase in ApoB‐crescents. However, a low concentration of Brefeldin A induced the same result without affecting protein secretion, suggesting ADP‐ribosylation as an additional mechanism. ADP‐ribosylation inhibitors not only suppressed the increase of ApoB‐crescents, but also rapidly dissolved existing ApoB‐crescents. These results implicate the involvement of ADP‐ribosylation in the ApoB‐crescent formation and maintenance process at the ER.
