Catabolism of homologous low density lipoproteins (LDL) was studied in primary culture of human hepatocytes (HH). The cell association and degradation of 125I-labeled LDL (125I-LDL) were curvilinear functions of substrate concentration. Cell association and degradation of 125I-LDL were inhibited by excess unlabeled LDL. Reductive methylation of unlabeled LDL abolished its ability to complete with 125I-LDL for cell association and degradation. Preincubation of HH with unlabeled LDL caused a 63% inhibition of the 125I-LDL degradation. It is concluded that the catabolism of LDL by HH proceeds in part through a receptor-mediated pathway similar to that demonstrated on extrahepatic cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011973 Receptors, LDL Receptors on the plasma membrane of nonhepatic cells that specifically bind LDL. The receptors are localized in specialized regions called coated pits. Hypercholesteremia is caused by an allelic genetic defect of three types: 1, receptors do not bind to LDL; 2, there is reduced binding of LDL; and 3, there is normal binding but no internalization of LDL. In consequence, entry of cholesterol esters into the cell is impaired and the intracellular feedback by cholesterol on 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase is lacking.
