Abstract:Liver X receptor (LXR) agonists increase both total fecal sterol excretion and macrophage-specific reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in vivo. In this study, we assessed the effects of ABCG5/G8 deficiency as well as those of LXR agonist-induction of RCT from macrophages to feces in vivo. A [(3)H]cholesterol-labeled macrophage cell line was injected intraperitoneally into ABCG5/G8-deficient (G5/G8(-/-)), heterozygous (G5G8(+/-)), and wild-type G5/G8(+/+) mice. G5/G8(-/-)mice presented increased radiolabeled HDL-bound [(3)H]cholesterol 24 h after the label injection. However, the magnitude of macrophage-derived [(3)H]cholesterol in liver and feces did not differ between groups. A separate experiment was conducted in G5G8(+/+) and G5G8(-/-) mice treated with or without the LXR agonist T0901317. Treatment with T0901317 increased liver ABCG5/G8 expression, which was associated with a 2-fold increase in macrophage-derived [(3)H]cholesterol in feces of G5/G8(+/+) mice. However, T0901317 treatment had no effect on fecal [(3)H]cholesterol excretion in G5G8(-/-) mice. Additionally, LXR activation stimulated the fecal excretion of labeled cholesterol after an intravenous injection of HDL-[(3)H]cholesteryl oleate in G5/G8(+/+) mice, but failed to enhance fecal [(3)H]cholesterol in G5/G8(-/-) mice. Our data provide direct in vivo evidence of the crucial role of ABCG5 and ABCG8 in LXR-mediated induction of macrophage-specific RCT.
