The finding that expression of a
cholesterol 7 -hydroxylase (CYP7A1) transgene in cultured rat
hepatoma cells caused a coordinate increase in lipogenesis and
secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins led to the hypothesis that
hepatic production of apoB-containing lipoproteins may be linked to the
expression of CYP7A1 (Wang, S.-L., Du, E., Martin, T. D., and
Davis, R. A. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 19351-19358). To examine this hypothesis in vivo, a transgene encoding CYP7A1 driven by the constitutive liver-specific enhancer of the human apoE gene was expressed in C56BL/6 mice. The
expression of CYP7A1 mRNA (20-fold), protein (~10-fold), and enzyme activity (5-fold) was markedly increased in transgenic mice
compared with non-transgenic littermates. The bile acid pool of CYP7A1
transgenic mice was doubled mainly due to increased hydrophobic
dihydroxy bile acids. In CYP7A1 transgenic mice, livers contained
~3-fold more sterol response element-binding protein-2 mRNA. Hepatic expression of mRNAs encoding lipogenic enzymes
(i.e. fatty-acid synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase,
stearoyl-CoA desaturase, squalene synthase, farnesyl-pyrophosphate
synthase, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, and low
density lipoprotein receptor) as well as microsomal triglyceride
transfer protein were elevated ~3-5-fold in transgenic mice. CYP7A1
transgenic mice also displayed a >2-fold increase in hepatic
production and secretion of triglyceride-rich apoB-containing lipoproteins. Despite the increased hepatic secretion of
apoB-containing lipoproteins in CYP7A1 mice, plasma levels of
triglycerides and cholesterol were not significantly increased. These
data suggest that the 5-fold increased expression of the low density
lipoprotein receptor displayed by the livers of CYP7A1 transgenic mice
was sufficient to compensate for the 2-fold increase production of apoB-containing lipoproteins. These findings emphasize the important homeostatic role that CYP7A1 plays in balancing the anabolic
lipoprotein assembly/secretion pathway with the cholesterol catabolic
bile acid synthetic pathway.
