Intracellular cholesterol-binding proteins enhance HDL-mediated cholesterol uptake in cultured primary mouse hepatocytes.
A major gap in our knowledge of rapid hepatic HDL cholesterol clearance is the role of key intracellular factors that influence this process. Although the reverse cholesterol transport pathway targets HDL to the liver for net elimination of free cholesterol from the body, molecular details governing cholesterol uptake into hepatocytes are not completely understood. Therefore, the effects of ste...
متن کاملFunctional expression and regulation of drug transporters in monolayer- and sandwich-cultured mouse hepatocytes.
Primary hepatocyte cultures are now considered as convenient models for in vitro analyzing liver drug transport. However, if primary human and rat hepatocytes have been well-characterized with respect to drug transporter expression and regulation, much less is known for primary mouse hepatocytes. The present study was therefore designed to gain insights about this point. The profile of sinusoid...
متن کاملCultured human hepatocytes. Evidence for metabolism of low density lipoproteins by a pathway independent of the classical low density lipoprotein receptor.
Studies of low density lipoprotein (LDL) metabolism in nonhuman model systems have indicated that the mammalian liver has dual mechanisms for the uptake and regulation of the concentration of plasma LDL. Heretofore, direct evaluation of lipoprotein uptake mechanisms in human hepatocytes has not been possible. In order to compare hepatocyte LDL uptake with fibroblast LDL metabolism, human hepato...
متن کاملA role for hepatic scavenger receptor class B, type I in decreasing high density lipoprotein levels in mice that lack phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase.
Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) is a liver-specific enzyme that converts phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine (PC). Mice that lack PEMT have reduced plasma levels of PC and cholesterol in high density lipoproteins (HDL). We have investigated the mechanism responsible for this reduction with experiments designed to distinguish between a decreased formation of HDL p...
متن کاملCholesteryl ester transfer protein directly mediates selective uptake of high density lipoprotein cholesteryl esters by the liver.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) directly mediates selective uptake of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesteryl ester (CE) by hepatocytes and to quantify the effects of the CETP inhibitor, torcetrapib, on this process. METHODS AND RESULTS Using adenovirus-mediated CETP (ad-CETP) expression in primary mouse hepatocytes from either wild-type, low-densit...
