Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) leads initially to the formation of LDL-associated cholesteryl ester hydroperoxides (CEOOH). LDL-associated CEOOH can be transferred to high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and HDL-associated CEOOH are rapidly reduced to the corresponding hydroxides (CEOH) by an intrinsic peroxidase-like activity. We have now performed in vivo experiments to quantify the clearance rates and to identify the uptake sites of HDL-associated [3H]Ch18:2-OH in rats. Upon injection into rats, HDL-associated [3H]Ch18:2-OH is removed more rapidly from the circulation than HDL-associated [3H]Ch18:2. Two minutes after administration of [3H]Ch18:2-OH-HDL, 19.6 +/- 2.6% (S.E.M.; n = 4) of the label was taken up by the liver as compared with 2.4 +/- 0.25% (S.E.M.; n = 4) for [3H]Ch18:2-HDL. Organ distribution studies indicated that only the liver and adrenals exhibited preferential uptake of [3H]Ch18:2-OH as compared with [3H]Ch18:2, with the liver as the major site of uptake. A cell-separation procedure, employed 10 min after injection of [3H]Ch18:2-OH-HDL or [3H]Ch18:2-HDL, demonstrated that within the liver only parenchymal cells take up HDL-CE by the selective uptake pathway. Selective uptake by parenchymal cells of [3H]Ch18:2-OH was 3-fold higher than that of [3H]Ch18:2, while Kupffer and endothelial cell uptake of the lipid tracers reflected HDL holoparticle uptake (as analysed with iodinated versus cholesteryl ester-labelled HDL). The efficient uptake of [3H]Ch18:2-OH by parenchymal cells was coupled to a 3-fold increase in rate of radioactive bile acid secretion from [3H]Ch18:2-OH-HDL as compared with [3H]Ch18:2-HDL. In vitro studies with freshly isolated parenchymal cells showed that the association of [3H]Ch18:2-OH-HDL at 37 degrees C exceeded [3H]Ch18:2-HDL uptake almost 4-fold. Our results indicate that HDL-associated CEOH are efficiently and selectively removed from the blood circulation by the liver in vivo. The selective liver uptake is specifically exerted by parenchymal cells and coupled to a rapid biliary secretion pathway. The liver uptake and biliary secretion route may allow HDL to function as an efficient protection system against potentially atherogenic CEOOH.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

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.
