dc.description.abstract | Rat luteal cells utilize high-density lipoproteins (HDL) as a source of cholesterol for steroid synthesis. Both the free and esterified cholesterol of HDL are utilized by these cells. In this report, we have examined the relative uptake of free and esterified cholesterol of HDL by cultured rat luteal cells. Incubation of the cells with HDL labeled with [3H]cholesterol or [3H]cholesteryl linoleate resulted in 4-6-fold greater uptake of the free cholesterol compared to esterified cholesterol. The increased uptake of free cholesterol correlated with its utilization for progestin synthesis: utilization of HDL-derived free cholesterol was 3-6-fold higher than would be expected from its concentration in HDL. The differential uptake and utilization of free and esterified cholesterol was further examined using egg phosphatidylcholine liposomes containing cholesterol or cholesteryl linoleate as a probe. Liposomes containing free cholesterol were able to deliver cholesterol to luteal cells and support steroid synthesis in the absence of apolipoproteins, and the addition of apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) moderately increased the uptake and Steroidogenesis. Similar experiments using cholesteryl linoleate /egg phosphatidylcholine liposomes showed that inclusion of apo A-I resulted in a pronounced increase in the uptake of cholesteryl linoleate and progestin synthesis. These experiments suggest that free cholesterol from HDL may be taken up by receptor-dependent and receptor-independent processes, whereas esterified cholesterol uptake requires a receptor-dependent process mediated by apolipoproteins. | en_US |
