  • 摘要:Rat adrenocortical cells take up high density lipoprotein cholesterol for use as steroidogenic substrate. To better understand this unique uptake process, we have first characterized HDL binding. Infusion of human 125I-labeled HDL into rats pretreated with 4-APP demonstrated that the adrenal and ovary accumulate HDL in a saturable fashion in vivo. Subsequent studies using isolated rat adrenocortical cells demonstrated that cellular uptake of HDL is comprised of two events. One event is characterized by reversible membrane binding and is complete by 60 min (t1/2 = 20 min). The second event is marked by irreversible apoprotein accumulation which continues for at least 3 hr. Reversibly bound material exhibits the same apoprotein distribution as unincubated HDL. Irreversible accumulation could not be attributed to internalization or lysosomal accumulation inasmuch as it also occurred with partially purified plasma membranes and was not enhanced by addition of chloroquine. Reversible binding of human HDL3 exhibited a saturable dependence on concentration (Kd = 27 micrograms protein/ml; N = 3.0 X 10(6) sites/cell) similar to that previously reported for rat liver, ovary, and testis. Cell accumulation of HDL decreased by over 80% at 4 degrees C compared to 37 degrees C, did not require calcium, and was not diminished by prior cell treatment with trypsin or pronase. These results indicate that rat adrenocortical cells possess plasma membrane recognition sites for HDL with different properties than those of the LDL receptor. Moreover, adrenal accumulation of HDL apoproteins does not lead to secondary lysosome formation.
