چکیده
1. Hepatic uptake of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in parenchymal cells and non-parenchymal cells was studied in control-fed and cholesterol-fed rabbits after intravenous injection of radioiodinated native LDL (125I-TC-LDL) and methylated LDL (131I-TC-MetLDL). 2. LDL was taken up by rabbit liver parenchymal cells, as well as by endothelial and Kupffer cells. Parenchymal cells, however, were responsible for 92% of the hepatic LDL uptake. 3. Of LDL in the hepatocytes, 89% was taken up via the B,E receptor, whereas 16% and 32% of the uptake of LDL in liver endothelial cells and Kupffer cells, respectively, was B,E receptor-dependent. 4. Cholesterol feeding markedly reduced B,E receptor-mediated uptake of LDL in parenchymal liver cells and in Kupffer cells, to 19% and 29% of controls, respectively. Total uptake of LDL in liver endothelial cells was increased about 2-fold. This increased uptake is probably mediated via the scavenger receptor. The B,E receptor-independent association of LDL with parenchymal cells was not affected by the cholesterol feeding. 5. It is concluded that the B,E receptor is located in parenchymal as well as in the non-parenchymal rabbit liver cells, and that this receptor is down-regulated by cholesterol feeding. Parenchymal cells are the main site of hepatic uptake of LDL, both under normal conditions and when the number of B,E receptors is down-regulated by cholesterol feeding. In addition, LDL is taken up by B,E receptor-independent mechanism(s) in rabbit liver parenchymal, endothelial and Kupffer cells. The non-parenchymal liver cells may play a quantitatively important role when the concentration of circulating LDL is maintained at a high level in plasma, being responsible for 26% of hepatic uptake of LDL in cholesterol-fed rabbits as compared with 8% in control-fed rabbits. The proportion of hepatic LDL uptake in endothelial cells was greater than 5-fold higher in the diet-induced hypercholesterolaemic rabbits than in controls.

Hepatic uptake of 0-VLDL in cholesterol-fed rabbits
The hepatic uptake of intravenously injected P-very low density lipoprotein (8-VLDL) in rabbits fed 2% (w/w) cholesterol for 3 weeks was investigated. In vitro studies were also conducted to examine the specificity and the capacity of the uptake in isolated liver parenchymal cells. The hepatic uptake of P-VLDL was 15.8 * 6.7% (n = 6) in the cholesterol-fed rabbits as compared to 26.6 * 7.5% (n ...

Receptor-dependent uptake mechanisms for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were studied in rabbit liver parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells. Hybridization studies with a cDNA probe revealed that mRNA for the apo (apolipoprotein) B,E receptor was present in endothelial and Kupffer cells as well as in parenchymal cells. By ligand-blotting experiments we showed that apo B,E-receptor protein was pres...

Incubation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL) at 37 degrees C in the presence of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (EC) caused a time-dependent shift in the charge and density of LDL. The physical changes of the human LDL occurred parallel with an increase in its clearance from the serum and uptake in the liver when injected into rats. The serum decay of the EC-modified LDL (44 hours i...
