This study was undertaken to determine the effect
of transient overexpression of hepatic cholesterol 7
Overexpression of Cholesterol 7
-Hydroxylase (CYP7A) in Mice
Lacking the Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Receptor Gene
LDL TRANSPORT AND PLASMA LDL CONCENTRATIONS ARE REDUCED
-hydroxylase on
low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol transport in mice lacking LDL
receptors (LDL receptor
/). Primary overexpression
of hepatic 7-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 7-hydroxylase activity necessary to
achieve a 50% reduction in plasma LDL cholesterol concentrations was
~10-fold. In comparison, cholestyramine increased hepatic 7-hydroxylase activity ~3-fold and reduced plasma LDL cholesterol concentrations by 17%. This study demonstrates that augmentation of
hepatic 7-hydroxylase expression is an effective strategy for
lowering plasma LDL concentrations even in animals with a genetic
absence of LDL receptors.
