Abstract

The effect of bile acid flux on the fate of lipoprotein-derived cholesterol was studied in bile acid-transporting McNtcp.18 hepatoma cells. The intracellular unesterified cholesterol (UC) concentration rose when McNtcp.18 cells grown in the presence of either high density lipoproteins (HDL) or low density lipoproteins (LDL) were incubated with taurocholic acid (TCA). This effect was more pronounced when the exogenous source of cholesterol was HDL. The presence of TCA in the culture medium of McNtcp.18 cells had no discernible effect on the uptake of cholesteryl esters (CE) from either lipoprotein. TCA treatment of cells preincubated with either lipoprotein did not affect cholesterol synthesis but antagonized the stimulation of cholesterol esterification in cells that were incubated with LDL. The CE concentration in cells treated with TCA was decreased, relative to cells not incubated with TCA, suggesting that cellular CE stores were also hydrolyzed. The TCA treatment reduced the amount of total cholesterol released into the medium by the lipoprotein-treated cells, which was coincident with the reduction in the amount of apolipoprotein B in the culture medium. However, the proportion of UC released into the medium by the lipopro...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
