Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Net flux of cholesterol represents the difference between efflux and influx and can result in net cell-cholesterol accumulation, net cell-cholesterol depletion, or no change in cellular cholesterol content. We measured radiolabeled cell-cholesterol efflux and cell-cholesterol mass using cholesterol-normal and -enriched J774 and elicited mouse peritoneal macrophage cells. Net cell-cholesterol effluxes were observed when cholesterol-enriched J774 cells were incubated with 3.5% apolipoprotein (apo) B depleted human serum, HDL(3), and apo A-I. Net cell-cholesterol influxes were observed when cholesterol-normal J774 cells were incubated with the same acceptors except apo A-I. When incubated with 2.5% individual sera, cholesterol mass efflux in free cholesterol (FC)-enriched J774 cells correlated with the HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations (r(2) = 0.4; P=0.003), whereas cholesterol mass influx in cholesterol-normal J774 cells correlated with the LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations (r(2) = 0.6; P<0.0001) of the individual sera. A positive correlation was observed between measurements of [(3)H]cholesterol efflux and reductions in cholesterol mass (r(2) = 0.4; P=0.001) in FC-enriched J774 cells. In conclusion, isotopic efflux measurements from cholesterol-normal or cholesterol-enriched cells provide an accurate measurement of relative ability of an acceptor to remove labeled cholesterol under a specific set of experimental conditions, i.e., efflux potential. Moreover, isotopic efflux measurements can reflect changes in cellular cholesterol mass if the donor cells are enriched with cholesterol.
