چکیده

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) metabolism by human skin fibroblasts was studied using LDL labeled in the neutral lipid fraction with a nonhydrolysable cholesteryl ester analogue 3H-cholesteryl linoleyl ether (3H-CLE-LDL). LDL uptake could be quantitated accurately using 3H-CLE-LDL, since the label accumulated intracellularly due to its resistance to hydrolysis. 3H-CLE-LDL was taken up via apo B,E receptor-mediated endocytosis in a manner similar to 125I-labeled LDL. This was demonstrated by similar rates of uptake of the two differently labeled LDL preparations, saturation kinetics of uptake with respect to 3H-CLE-LDL concentration, regulation of 3H-CLE-LDL uptake by procedures that up-regulate or down-regulate the number of apo B,E receptors, and negligible uptake of 3H-CLE-LDL by receptor-negative cell strains. The major difference between the handling of 125I-LDL and 3H-CLE-LDL was the finding that, while the amount of trypsin-releasable (surface) 3H-CLE increased progressively over a 24-hour experimental period, trypsin-releasable 125I-LDL reached a maximum within 30 minutes. After 24 hours of incubation, the 3H radioactivity released by brief trypsinization was three to four times higher than could be accounted for by 125I radioactivity released by a similar treatment. Possible reasons for this behavior are discussed.

Incorporation of defined cholesteryl esters into lipoproteins using cholesteryl ester-rich microemulsions.

Cholesteryl ester transfer to low density lipoproteins (LDL) was achieved either by incubation of a cholesteryl ester-rich lipid microemulsion with whole plasma or by incubation of the cholesteryl ester-rich microemulsion with lipoprotein-free plasma and LDL. Sequential ultracentrifugal isolation gave LDL that contained between 5 and 37% of the cholesteryl ester derived from the artificial chol...

Intravascular metabolism of the cholesteryl ester moiety of rat plasma lipoproteins.

The intravascular metabolism of the cholesteryl ester moiety of rat plasma LDL, HDL1, and HDL2 was determined in intact male rats. Biosynthetically labeled lipoproteins were prepared by zonal ultracentrifugation from the plasma of rats injected with [3H]cholesterol. The lipoproteins were concentrated by vacuum ultrafiltration as other procedures were found to alter the biological properties of ...

Metabolism of acetylated low density lipoproteins by monocyte-derived macrophages from patients with Werner's syndrome.

Accumulation of lipid-laden foam cells of monocyte origin plays an important role in atherogenesis. Therefore, for determination of the mechanism of accelerated atherogenesis in Werner's syndrome, studies were carried out on the metabolism of acetylated low density lipoprotein (LDL) by monocyte-derived macrophages from patients with this syndrome. These macrophages showed abnormally high activi...

Different efflux pathways for high and low density lipoproteins from porcine aortic intima.

To study the efflux of high (HDL) and low (LDL) density lipoproteins from the arterial wall in vivo, a surgical model in pigs was used. An isolated segment of the lesion-free thoracic aorta was pulse labeled from the lumen of the artery with 3H-cholesteryl ester labeled HDL and 14C-cholesteryl ester labeled LDL. Subsequently, the labeled aortic segment was exposed to cold chase in vivo. The tra...

Effect of apolipoprotein E-free high density lipoproteins on cholesterol metabolism in cultured pig hepatocytes.

We studied cholesterol synthesis from [14C]acetate, cholesterol esterification from [14C]oleate, and cellular cholesterol and cholesteryl ester levels after incubating cells with apoE-free high density lipoproteins (HDL) or low density lipoproteins (LDL). LDL suppressed synthesis by up to 60%, stimulated esterification by up to 280%, and increased cell cholesteryl ester content about 4-fold. Es...
