Lipoproteins originating from axon and myelin
breakdown in injured peripheral nerves are believed to supply
cholesterol to regenerating axons. We have used compartmented cultures
of rat sympathetic neurons to investigate the utilization of lipids
from lipoproteins for axon elongation. Lipids and proteins from human low density lipoproteins (LDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL) were
taken up by distal axons and transported to cell bodies, whereas cell
bodies/proximal axons internalized these components from only LDL, not
HDL. Consistent with these observations, the impairment of axonal
growth, induced by inhibition of cholesterol synthesis, was reversed
when LDL or HDL were added to distal axons or when LDL, but not HDL,
were added to cell bodies. LDL receptors (LDLRs) and LR7/8B (apoER2)
were present in cell bodies/proximal axons and distal axons, with LDLRs
being more abundant in the former. Inhibition of cholesterol
biosynthesis increased LDLR expression in cell bodies/proximal axons
but not distal axons. LR11 (SorLA) was restricted to cell
bodies/proximal axons and was undetectable in distal axons. Neither the
LDL receptor-related protein nor the HDL receptor, SR-B1, was detected
in sympathetic neurons. These studies demonstrate for the first time
that lipids are taken up from lipoproteins by sympathetic neurons for
use in axonal regeneration.
