Circulation of Cholesterol between Lysosomes and the Plasma Membrane

Yvonne LangeDagger , Jin YeDagger , and Theodore L. Steck

From the Dagger  Departments of Pathology and Biochemistry, Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois 60612 and the  Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637

The cholesterol in the lysosomes of cultured human fibroblasts was determined to constitute ~6% of the cell total. This pool was enlarged by as much as 10-fold in Niemann-Pick type C cells. Certain amphiphiles (e.g. U18666A, progesterone, and imipramine) caused lysosomal cholesterol to increase to similarly high levels at a rate of ~0.8% of cell cholesterol/h. Lysosomal cholesterol accumulated even in the absence of exogenous lipoproteins. Furthermore, nearly all of the lysosomal cholesterol in both of the two perturbed systems was shown to be derived from the plasma membrane. Oxysterols known to alter cholesterol movement and homeostasis blocked lysosomal cholesterol accretion in amphiphile-treated cells, suggesting that this process is regulated physiologically.

Treating cells with amphiphiles slightly reduced the efflux of cholesterol from lysosomes and slightly increased the influx from the plasma membrane, causing the lysosomal cholesterol compartment to double in size in ~15 h. After more prolonged amphiphile treatments, a population of buoyant lysosomes appeared that exchanged cholesterol with the plasma membrane completely but slowly. Niemann-Pick type C lysosomes were similarly buoyant and sluggish.

We conclude that cholesterol circulates bidirectionally between the plasma membrane and lysosomes. The massive accumulation of lysosomal cholesterol in the perturbed cells does not appear to reflect disabled lysosomal transport but rather the formation of lysosomes modified for lipid storage, i.e. lamellar bodies.
