The cholesterol trafficking defect in Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease
leads to impaired regulation of cholesterol esterification, cholesterol
synthesis, and low density lipoprotein receptor activity. The ATP-binding
cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), which mediates the rate-limiting step in high
density lipoprotein (HDL) particle formation, is also regulated by cell
cholesterol content. To determine whether the Niemann-Pick C1 protein alters
the expression and activity of ABCA1, we determined the ability of
apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) to deplete pools of cellular cholesterol and
phospholipids in human fibroblasts derived from
NPC1+/+,
NPC1+/, and
NPC1/
subjects. Efflux of low density lipoprotein-derived, non-lipoprotein, plasma
membrane, and newly synthesized pools of cell cholesterol by apoA-I was
diminished in
NPC1/ cells,
as was efflux of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin.
NPC1+/ cells showed
intermediate levels of lipid efflux compared with
NPC1+/+ and
NPC1/ cells.
Binding of apoA-I to cholesterol-loaded and non-cholesterol-loaded cells was
highest for NPC1+/
cells, with NPC1+/+ and
NPC1/ cells
showing similar levels of binding. ABCA1 mRNA and protein levels increased in
response to cholesterol loading in
NPC1+/+ and
NPC1+/ cells but
showed low levels at base line and in response to cholesterol loading in
NPC1/ cells.
Consistent with impaired ABCA1-dependent lipid mobilization to apoA-I for HDL
particle formation, we demonstrate for the first time decreased plasma
HDL-cholesterol levels in 17 of 21 (81%)
NPC1/
subjects studied. These results indicate that the cholesterol trafficking
defect in NPC disease results in reduced activity of ABCA1, which we suggest
is responsible for the low HDL-cholesterol in the majority of NPC subjects and
partially responsible for the overaccumulation of cellular lipids in this
disorder.
