Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants in SEC16 homolog B (SEC16B) locus to be associated with obesity and body mass index (BMI) in various populations. SEC16B encodes a scaffold protein located at endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit sites that is implicated to participate in the trafficking of COPII vesicles in mammalian cells. However, the function of SEC16B in vivo, especially in lipid metabolism, has not been investigated. Here we demonstrated that intestinal SEC16B is required for dietary lipid absorption in mice. We showed that Sec16b intestinal knockout (IKO) mice, especially female mice, were protected from HFD-induced obesity. Loss of SEC16B in intestine dramatically reduced postprandial serum triglyceride output upon intragastric lipid load or during overnight fasting and high-fat diet (HFD) refeeding. Further studies showed that intestinal SEC16B deficiency impaired apoB lipidation and chylomicron secretion. These results revealed that SEC16B plays important roles in dietary lipid absorption, which may shed light on the association between variants in SEC16B and obesity in human.
