From the Sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27) participates in the
conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. We examined lipid metabolism
in mice lacking the Cyp27 gene. On normal rodent chow,

mice have 40% larger livers, 45%
larger adrenals, 2-fold higher hepatic and plasma triacylglycerol
concentrations, a 70% higher rate of hepatic fatty acid synthesis, and
a 70% increase in the ratio of oleic to stearic acid in the liver
versus Cyp27+/+ controls. In
Cyp27
/
mice, cholesterol 7
-hydroxylase
activity is increased 5-fold, but bile acid synthesis and pool size are
47 and 27%, respectively, of those in Cyp27+/+
mice. Intestinal cholesterol absorption decreases from 54 to 4% in
knockout mice, while fecal neutral sterol excretion increases 2.5-fold.
A compensatory 2.5-fold increase in whole body cholesterol synthesis
occurs in Cyp27
/
mice, principally in
liver, adrenal, small intestine, lung, and spleen. The mRNA for the
cholesterogenic transcription factor sterol regulatory element-binding
protein-2 (SREBP-2) and mRNAs for SREBP-2-regulated cholesterol
biosynthetic genes are elevated in livers of mutant mice. In addition,
the mRNAs encoding the lipogenic transcription factor SREBP-1 and
SREBP-1-regulated monounsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic enzymes are
also increased. Hepatic synthesis of fatty acids and accumulation of
triacylglycerols increases in Cyp27
/
mice
and is associated with hypertriglyceridemia. Cholic acid feeding
reverses hepatomegaly and hypertriglyceridemia but not adrenomegaly in
Cyp27
/
mice. These studies confirm the
importance of CYP27 in bile acid synthesis and they reveal an
unexpected function of the enzyme in triacylglycerol metabolism.
