This study elucidates the factors
underlying the enhancement in efflux of human fibroblast unesterified
cholesterol and phospholipid (PL) by lipid-free apolipoprotein (apo)
A-I that is induced by cholesterol enrichment of the cells. Doubling
the unesterified cholesterol content of the plasma membrane by
incubation for 24 h with low density lipoprotein and
lipid/cholesterol dispersions increases the pools of PL and cholesterol
available for removal by apoA-I from about 0.8-5%; the initial rates
of mass release of cholesterol and PL are both increased about 6-fold.
Expression of the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is
critical for this increased efflux of lipids, and cholesterol loading
of the fibroblasts over 24 h increases ABCA1 mRNA about
12-fold. The presence of more ABCA1 and cholesterol in the plasma
membrane results in a 2-fold increase in the level of specific binding of apoA-I to the cells with no change in binding affinity.
Characterization of the species released from either control or
cholesterol-enriched cells indicates that the plasma membrane domains
from which lipids are removed are cholesterol-enriched with respect to
the average plasma membrane composition. Cholesterol enrichment of
fibroblasts also affects PL synthesis, and this leads to enhanced
release of phosphatidylcholine (PC) relative to sphingomyelin (SM); the ratios of PC to SM solubilized from control and cholesterol-enriched fibroblasts are ~2/1 and 5/1, respectively. Biosynthesis of PC is
critical for this preferential release of PC and the enhanced cholesterol efflux because inhibition of PC synthesis by choline depletion reduces cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-enriched cells.
Overall, it is clear that enrichment of fibroblasts with unesterified
cholesterol enhances efflux of cholesterol and PL to apoA-I because of
three effects, 1) increased PC biosynthesis, 2) increased PC transport
via ABCA1, and 3) increased cholesterol in the plasma membrane.
