title: Uptake and fate of class B scavenger receptor ligands in HepG2 cells.
abstract: Class B scavenger receptors (SR-Bs) interact with native, acetylated and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL, AcLDL and OxLDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL3) and maleylated BSA (M-BSA). The aim of this study was to analyze the catabolism of CD36- and LIMPII-analogous-1 (CLA-1), the human orthologue for the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), and CD36 ligands in HepG2 (human hepatoma) cells. Saturation binding experiments revealed moderate-affinity binding sites for all the SR-B ligands tested with dissociation constants ranging from 20 to 30 microg.mL-1. Competition binding studies at 4 degrees C showed that HDL and modified and native LDL share common binding site(s), as OxLDL competed for the binding of 125I-LDL and 125I-HDL3 and vice versa, and that only M-BSA and LDL may have distinct binding sites. Degradation/association ratios for SR-B ligands show that LDL is very efficiently degraded, while M-BSA and HDL3 are poorly degraded. The modified LDL degradation/association ratio is equivalent to 60% of the LDL degradation ratio, but is three times higher than that of HDL3. All lipoproteins were good cholesteryl ester (CE) donors to HepG2 cells, as a 3.6-4.7-fold CE-selective uptake ([3H]CE association/125I-protein association) was measured. M-BSA efficiently competed for the CE-selective uptake of LDL-, OxLDL-, AcLDL- and HDL3-CE. All other lipoproteins tested were also good competitors with some minor variations. Hydrolysis of [3H]CE-lipoproteins in the presence of chloroquine demonstrated that modified and native LDL-CE were mainly hydrolyzed in lysosomes, whereas HDL3-CE was hydrolyzed in both lysosomal and extralysosomal compartments. Inhibition of the selective uptake of CE from HDL and native modified LDL by SR-B ligands clearly suggests that CLA-1 and/or CD36 are involved at least partially in this process in HepG2 cells.
