Abstract

This study was undertaken to determine the effect of transient overexpression of hepatic cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase on low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol transport in mice lacking LDL receptors (LDL receptor-/-). Primary overexpression of hepatic 7alpha-hydroxylase in LDL receptor-/- mice was accompanied by a dose-dependent decrease in the rate of LDL cholesterol appearance in plasma (whole body LDL cholesterol transport) and a corresponding reduction in circulating LDL cholesterol levels. The increase in hepatic 7alpha-hydroxylase activity necessary to achieve a 50% reduction in plasma LDL cholesterol concentrations was approximately 10-fold. In comparison, cholestyramine increased hepatic 7alpha-hydroxylase activity approximately 3-fold and reduced plasma LDL cholesterol concentrations by 17%. This study demonstrates that augmentation of hepatic 7alpha-hydroxylase expression is an effective strategy for lowering plasma LDL concentrations even in animals with a genetic absence of LDL receptors.
