Abstract
Maintaining lipid composition diversity in membranes from different organelles is critical for numerous cellular processes. However, many lipids are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and require delivery to other organelles. In this scenario, formation of membrane contact sites (MCS) between neighbouring organelles has emerged as a novel non-vesicular lipid transport mechanism. Dissecting the molecular composition of MCS identified phosphoinositides (PIs), cholesterol, scaffolding/tethering proteins as well as Ca2+ and Ca2+-binding proteins contributing to MCS functioning. Compelling evidence now exists for the shuttling of PIs and cholesterol across MCS, affecting their concentrations in distinct membrane domains and diverse roles in membrane trafficking. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) at the plasma membrane (PM) not only controls endo-/exocytic membrane dynamics but is also critical in autophagy. Cholesterol is highly concentrated at the PM and enriched in recycling endosomes and Golgi membranes. MCS-mediated cholesterol transfer is intensely researched, identifying MCS dysfunction or altered MCS partnerships to correlate with de-regulated cellular cholesterol homeostasis and pathologies. Annexins, a conserved family of Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding proteins, contribute to tethering and untethering events at MCS. In this chapter, we will discuss how Ca2+ homeostasis and annexins in the endocytic compartment affect the sensing and transfer of cholesterol and PIs across MCS.

Abstract
Annexin A6 (AnxA6) belongs to the conserved annexin family - a group of Ca2+-dependent membrane binding proteins. AnxA6 is the largest of all annexins and highly expressed in smooth muscle, hepatocytes, endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes. Upon activation, AnxA6 binds to negatively charged phospholipids in a wide range of intracellular localizations, in particular the plasma membrane, late endosomes/pre-lysosomes, but also synaptic vesicles and sarcolemma. In these cellular sites, AnxA6 is believed to contribute to the organization of membrane microdomains, such as cholesterol-rich lipid rafts and confer multiple regulatory functions, ranging from vesicle fusion, endocytosis and exocytosis to programmed cell death and muscle contraction. Growing evidence supports that Ca2+ and Ca2+-binding proteins control endocytosis and autophagy. Their regulatory role seems to operate at the level of the signalling pathways that initiate autophagy or at later stages, when autophagosomes fuse with endolysosomal compartments. The convergence of the autophagic and endocytic vesicles to lysosomes shares several features that depend on Ca2+ originating from lysosomes/late endosomes and seems to depend on proteins that are subsequently activated by this cation. However, the involvement of Ca2+ and its effector proteins in these autophagic and endocytic stages still remains poorly understood. Although AnxA6 makes up almost 0.25% of total protein in the liver, little is known about its function in hepatocytes. Within the endocytic route, we identified AnxA6 in endosomes and autophagosomes of hepatocytes. Hence, AnxA6 and possibly other annexins might represent new Ca2+ effectors that regulate converging steps of autophagy and endocytic trafficking in hepatocytes.

Abstract
Chylomicrons labeled in vivo with (14)C-oleic acid (primarily in triglycerides, providing a tracer for lipolysis) and (3)H-retinol (primarily in ester form, providing a tracer for the core lipids) were injected into rats. Radioactivity in tissues was followed at a series of times up to 40 min and the data were analyzed by compartmental modeling. For heart-like tissues it was necessary to allow the chylomicrons to enter into a compartment where lipolysis is rapid and then transfer to a second compartment where lipolysis is slower. The particles remained in these compartments for minutes and when they returned to blood they had reduced affinity for binding in the tissue. In contrast, the data for liver could readily be fitted with a single compartment for native and lipolyzed chylomicrons in blood, and there was no need for a pathway back to blood. A composite model was built from the individual tissue models. This whole-body model could simultaneously fit all data for both fed and fasted rats and allowed estimation of fluxes and residence times in the four compartments; native and lipolyzed chylomicrons ("remnants") in blood, and particles in the tissue compartments where lipolysis is rapid and slow, respectively.

Abstract
This memoir provides a history of the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins of blood plasma over the last half-century. As precursors of low-density lipoproteins and in their own right, triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are essential to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and to consequent ischemic vascular disease. The author recounts research at the National Heart Institute during 1953 to 1956 and continuing thereafter at the University of California San Francisco. Emphasis is placed on key insights arising from investigations of human disease, the interplay of fatty acid and triglyceride-transport involving the liver, small intestine, adipose tissue and muscle, and the role of the liver in the synthesis and catabolism of atherogenic lipoproteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Liver growth, induced by partial hepatectomy of the organ is a precisely regulated process during which a radical reorganisation of metabolism occurs as the hepatocytes become committed to enter the cell cycle. Recent studies have shown the importance of the endocytic compartment in the control of lipid and protein intracellular trafficking but also in the control of the signal transduction events, which eventually will trigger the initiation of DNA synthesis and the subsequent cell division. METHODS We isolated endosomes at different times after partial hepatectomy in male rats and compared with endosomes isolated from sham-operated animals. Also, bile was collected and analysed by 2D-gel electrophoresis. RESULTS The amount of late endosomes isolated from regenerating livers decreased, concomitant with decreased cathepsin D specific enzyme activity. Furthermore, secretion of horseradish peroxidase, pIgA and transferrin increased in the pre-replicative phase of liver regeneration. CONCLUSIONS At the early stages of liver regeneration, the hepatocellular transport pathway towards degradation (late endosomes and lysosomal pathway) decreases, but the transcytosis and the bile secretion of several major proteins increases.

Abstract
In isolated cell studies, the internalization and degradation of hepatic lipase (HL) has been linked to its binding to the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP). We have utilized the receptor-associated protein (RAP), a universal inhibitor of high affinity ligand binding to LRP, to evaluate the participation of LRP in the endocytosis of HL and lipoprotein lipase (LPL). We isolated a total endosome fraction from rat livers after a 30-min infusion of recombinant RAP, administered as a glutathione S-transferase conjugate (GST-RAP). GST-RAP infusion had no effect on the concentration of HL in liver homogenates, but its concentration in blood plasma increased progressively by 20%, and enrichment over homogenate of HL in endosomes was reduced by 50% as compared with infusion of GST alone. The concentrations of LPL in liver and plasma were 1.4 and 0.5%, respectively, those of HL, but endosomal enrichment of the two enzymes was similar ( approximately 10-fold). GST-RAP infusion had no effect on the concentration of LPL in liver but increased its concentration in blood plasma by 250% and reduced its endosomal enrichment by 95% or greater. GST-RAP infusion also reduced endosomal enrichment of LRP by 40%, but enrichment of several other endocytic receptors was unaffected. Endosomal enrichment of several membrane trafficking proteins associated with the endocytic pathway in hepatocytes was unaffected by GST-RAP with the exception of early endosome endosome antigen 1, which was reduced by 85%. We conclude that HL is partially and LPL almost exclusively taken up into rat hepatocytes after binding to the endocytic receptor LRP.

Abstract
Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (chylomicrons (CM), VLDL) can bind and protect against endotoxin (LPS)-induced shock and mortality in rodents. The protective effect of lipoproteins is in part due to the increased plasma clearance and biliary excretion of LPS. Specifically, CM-LPS complexes are principally removed from the circulation by the liver with a rapid plasma half-life approximating that for CM alone. Thus, we hypothesized that hepatocytes clear CM-bound LPS via known lipoprotein receptors and traffic the toxic macromolecule through the same endosomal pathway employed for the catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. To examine the endosomal uptake and biliary excretion of LPS, we isolated early and late hepatic endosomal fractions and hepatic bile from rats following the injection of radiolabeled CM-bound LPS. The uptake of (125)I-LPS was compared in animals that overexpressed either the LDL receptor or the LDL receptor-related protein (LRP) versus untreated control with normal lipoprotein levels. Herein we present data indicating that both the LDL receptor and the LRP participate in the rapid internalization of CM-bound LPS by hepatocytes. Upregulation of the LDL receptor increased the accumulation of (125)I-LPS in late endosomes (P < 0.03). In contrast, increased levels of the LRP were associated with negligible movement of LPS into late endosomes but a trend toward the increased biliary excretion of the radiolabeled macromolecule. Taken together these data further elucidate the role of the liver in the host innate immune response to infection and potentially implicate distinct roles for the LDL receptor and LRP in the catabolism of CM-bound LPS.

Abstract
We have recently described a novel recycling pathway of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL)-associated apolipoprotein (apo) E in human hepatoma cells. We now demonstrate that not only TRL-derived apoE but also lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is efficiently recycled in vitro and in vivo. Similar recycling kinetics of apoE and LPL in normal and low density lipoprotein receptor-negative human fibroblasts also indicate that the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein seems to be involved. Intracellular sorting mechanisms are responsible for reduced lysosomal degradation of both ligands after receptor-mediated internalization. Immediately after internalization in rat liver, TRLs are disintegrated, and apoE and LPL are found in endosomal compartments, whereas TRL-derived phospholipids accumulate in the perinuclear region of hepatocytes. Subsequently, substantial amounts of both proteins can be found in purified recycling endosomes, indicating a potential resecretion of these TRL components. Pulse-chase experiments of perfused rat livers with radiolabeled TRLs demonstrated a serum-induced release of internalized apoE and LPL into the perfusate. Analysis of the secreted proteins identified approximately 80% of the recycled TRL-derived proteins in the high density lipoprotein fractions. These results provide the first evidence that recycling of TRL-derived apoE and LPL could play an important role in the modulation of lipoproteins in vivo.

Abstract
Annexins are a family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins, which have been implicated in a variety of biological processes including membrane trafficking. The annexin 6/lgp120 prelysosomal compartment of NRK cells was loaded with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and then its transport from this endocytic compartment and its degradation in lysosomes were studied. NRK cells were microinjected with the mutated annexin 6 (anx6(1-175)), to assess the possible involvement of annexin 6 in the transport of LDL from the prelysosomal compartment. The results indicated that microinjection of mutated annexin 6, in NRK cells, showed the accumulation of LDL in larger endocytic structures, denoting retention of LDL in the prelysosomal compartment. To confirm the involvement of annexin 6 in the trafficking and the degradation of LDL we used CHO cells transfected with mutated annexin 6(1-175). Thus, in agreement with NRK cells the results obtained in CHO cells demonstrated a significant inhibition of LDL degradation in CHO cells expressing the mutated form of annexin 6 compared to controls overexpressing wild-type annexin 6. Therefore, we conclude that annexin 6 is involved in the trafficking events leading to LDL degradation.

Abstract
We isolated and characterized a subcellular fraction derived from the blood-sinusoidal plasma membrane of hepatocytes enriched in caveolin and containing several of the molecular components described to be present in caveolae isolated from other cell types. A morphological study by electron microscopy revealed that it was composed of caveolae-attached membrane profiles. Immunoelectron microscopy of isolated fraction showed the specific labeling of internal caveolae membranes with anti-caveolin antibody. Finally, one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis and Western blotting were used for the biochemical analysis of this new rat liver plasma membrane fraction. From the biochemical and the morphological characterization, we conclude that the caveolae-enriched plasma membrane fraction is a plasma membrane fraction, which originates from specialized regions of the sinusoidal plasma membrane, enriched in caveolae.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate that, in rat liver, epidermal growth factor (EGF) is responsible for the partial redistribution of caveolin-1 from the plasma membrane into the early/sorting endocytic compartment. Highly purified endosomes and plasma membrane fractions were isolated from control rat liver and from rats injected with EGF or pIgA for different times. Whereas in subcellular fractions from control hepatocytes most of caveolin was concentrated in the plasma membrane and the receptor-recycling fractions, after EGF injection there was a significant redistribution of caveolin toward the early/sorting (CURL) endocytic fractions. The recruitment of caveolin into the endocytic compartment was not induced by pIgA.

Abstract
The endocytic compartment of polarized cells is organized in basolateral and apical endosomes plus those endocytic structures specialized in recycling and transcytosis, which are still poorly characterized. The complexity of the various populations of endosomes has been demonstrated by the exquisite repertoire of endogenous proteins. In this study we examined the distribution of cellubrevin in the endocytic compartment of hepatocytes, since its intracellular location and function in polarized cells are largely unknown. Highly purified rat liver endosomes were isolated from estradiol-treated rats, and the early/sorting endosomal fraction was further subfractionated in a multistep sucrose density gradient, and studied. Analysis of dissected endosomal fractions showed that cellubrevin was located in early/sorting endosomes, with Rab4, annexins II and VI, and transferrin receptor, but in a specific subpopulation of these early endosomes with the same density range as pIgA and Raf-1. Interestingly, only in those isolated endosomal fractions, endosomes enriched in transcytotic structures (of livers loaded with IgA), the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor specifically co-immunoprecipitated with cellubrevin. In addition, confocal and immuno-electron microscopy identification of cellubrevin in tubular structures underneath the sinusoidal plasma membrane together with the re-organization of cellubrevin, in the endocytic compartment, after the IgA loading, strongly suggest the involvement of cellubrevin in the transcytosis of pIgA.

Abstract
We previously have isolated an endosomal fraction from rat liver, termed receptor-recycling compartment (RRC), which is highly enriched in recycling receptors and in the transcytotic polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR). We now have analyzed the RRC fraction by immunoisolation and found that no uniquely transcytotic elements were present, because recycling receptors and the pIgR were coisolated on the same elements. In addition, RRC was very rich in proteins previously shown to be associated with recycling endosomes, such as rab 11, cellubrevin, and endobrevin, but relatively poor in early endosome antigen 1. As RRC contains mainly tubules and small vesicles, our results indicate that it is enriched in elements of a tubular endosomal compartment involved in receptor sorting. Biochemical analysis showed that the density of recycling receptors and transcytotic pIgR in RRC membranes was similar to that in early endosome membranes. This observation supports the idea that increasing membrane surface area by endosome tubulation is the main mechanism to ensure efficient receptor sorting and, at the same time, locates RRC in a common step of the endocytotic system before final receptor segregation into distinct recycling and transcytotic pathways.

Abstract
The sinusoidal plasma membrane of the hepatocyte is organized into functional and structural microdomains whose origin, maintenance, and functioning are closely related with the endocytic compartment. Three different subcellular fractions, from rat liver, containing caveolin-1, the structural protein of caveolae, were morphologically and biochemically characterized. A caveolae-enriched plasma membrane fraction (CEF), contains large membrane structures surrounding attached internal plasmalemmal vesicles; the receptor-recycling compartment (RRC), contains tubules and vesicles with similar morphology to the internal vesicles observed by electron microscopy in CEF; and finally, caveolin-1 was also detected in early-sorting endosomes (CURL, compartment of uncoupling receptors and ligands). In this study, we show that following an intravenous administration of retinol-binding protein (RBP), there was a redistribution of caveolin-1 from the plasma membrane (CEF) to intracellular endocytic compartments (RRC and early-sorting endosomes). Thus, these results indicate that, in the hepatocyte, caveolae are dynamic structures actively interacting with the endocytic compartment.

In this study we identify the molecules involved in the MAPK signal transduction pathway (Ras, Raf-1, Mek, Mek-P and MAPK) in highly purified endosomal fractions isolated from rat liver. Biochemical analysis shows that only the early-sorting endocytic compartment contains activated Raf-1 and Mek. Finally, the exogenous administration of EGF led to redistribution of Raf-1 from the caveolin-enriched plasma membrane into the endosomes.

Abstract
The uptake of chylomicron remnants by rodent liver is mediated by proteins residing on the microvillous surface of hepatocytes and occurs in two steps. First, initial removal of the remnants from the blood occurs through binding to the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor via apo E and to hepatic lipase via polar lipids and proteins on the remnant surface. Second, chylomicron remnants are taken up into the cell mainly by the LDL receptor and follow the classical receptor-mediated pathway of endocytosis. The LDL receptor-related protein (LRP), which binds weakly to chylomicron remnants via apo E, does not appear to have a significant role in the initial removal process. The remnant particles can, however, be enriched with proteoglycan-bound apo E present on hepatocytic microvilli, which increases their affinity for LRP to the extent that they are subject to endocytosis by this receptor, particularly when the LDL receptor is deficient or down-regulated. Hepatic lipase can also mediate binding of remnants to LRP, for which it has high affinity. Lipolysis of remnant lipids by hepatic lipase may promote but is not required for interaction of remnants with the endocytic receptors. Proteoglycan-bound hepatic lipase may also mediate endocytosis of chylomicron remnants independent of apo E, so that hepatic catabolism of these particles is not completely dependent upon this apoprotein. Available data from experiments in vivo thus indicate redundancy of both steps of hepatic uptake of chylomicron remnants, consistent with the centrality of this process in nutrient delivery.

Abstract
Annexin VI has been demonstrated previously to be a marker for hepatic endosomes. By western blotting with an affinity purified anti-annexin VI antibody it was shown that annexin VI was present in the three morphologically and functionally different endosomal fractions from rat liver. We have quantified the gold-labeled endosomes by immunoelectron microscopy in ultrathin Lowicryl sections of rat liver and now demonstrate that 80% of the total labeling with anti-annexin VI was associated with endocytic structures surrounding the bile canaliculus, the apical domain of hepatocytes, whereas only 20% was found in the subsinusoidal endosomes. In double immuno-gold labeling experiments 80% of the Rab5 positive apical endosomes were also labeled with anti-annexin VI antibodies. However, there was no significant colocalization with antibodies to the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor. Finally, we demonstrate that 50% of endosomes containing internalized gold-labeled transferrin were double labeled with anti-annexin VI antibodies. Thus, annexin VI becomes the first known structural protein at the apical ‘early’ endocytic compartment of the hepatocyte that may be involved in the receptor recycling and transport to late endocytic/lysosomal compartment pathways.

Abstract
The endocytic compartment has emerged as a major regulator of the uptake and processing of circulating ligands, and has been extensively studied during the last decade. In this work, the polypeptides of the three endosomal fractions: compartment of uncoupling receptors and ligands (CURL), multivesicular bodies (MVB) and receptor recycling compartment (RRC), isolated from livers of estradiol-treated rats, were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Silver-stained gels revealed that although the three endosomal fractions shared a generally similar pattern of approximately 120 components, qualitative and quantitative differences between the three endocytic fractions could be demonstrated. The polypeptide composition of the bile was also studied and compared with ligands and proteins identified in the different endosomal fractions. One- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and Western blotting were used to investigate the protein composition of the three isolated endocytic fractions and 39 proteins were identified. The distribution of identified receptors, ligands and structural proteins among the three endosomal fractions was in agreement with their expected functionalities and with the different endocytic pathways in the hepatocyte.

Abstract
Recent studies have implicated the cell cycle kinase cdc2 and cyclin A in the inhibition of the fusion of endocytic vesicles in vitro during mitosis. However, the presence of cyclins or their associated cyclin dependent kinases (cdks) in the endocytic fractions have not been reported. Using Western-blotting and immunocytochemistry approaches with different anticyclin A antibodies we have detected cyclin A in the endocytic compartment of the rat liver. During the pre-replicative phase of liver regeneration the amount of cyclin A in endosomes increases significantly with a peak around 12 hours after partial hepatectomy. Cyclin A-dependent kinases, cdc2 and cdk2, were also found in isolated endosome fractions, showing a distinct kinetics of accumulation during the regenerative period. Finally, histone H1 kinase activity was detected associated with cyclin A in endocytic vesicles and increased in regenerating liver. These results suggest that changes in the organization and in the function of the endocytic compartment during the hepatocellular proliferation may be modulated by proteins involved in the regulation of the cell cycle.

Abstract
Rat liver endosomes contain one major high-affinity calmodulin-binding protein (CaMBP) that now has been identified as the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR). In isolated endosomes pIgR was enriched in the receptor-recycling compartment (RRC); lesser enrichment was found in 'early' endosome (CURL) and much less in 'late' endosome fractions (multivesicular bodies, MVB). The distribution of the major CaMBP, shown by Western blotting or by overlay with I125-calmodulin in the isolated fractions, was consistent with rapid accumulation of I125-immunoglobulin A (IgA) in RRC and CURL after intravenous injection into rats. The receptor was also found in sinusoidal plasma membranes but not in cell fractions containing apical (bile canalicular) or lateral plasma membrane domains of the hepatocyte. The interaction of pIgR with calmodulin was shown by direct binding assays and by affinity chromatography. Thus, calmodulin is the first cytoplasmic protein shown to interact with the pIgR. We postulate that calmodulin regulates pIgA trafficking in rat liver. In addition, the receptor recycling fraction emerges as an endosomal subcompartment involved in pIgA transport via pIgR.

Abstract
The present studies examine the modulation of lipoprotein metabolism at subcellular sites in the liver by female sex hormones. Subcutaneous injection of ethinyl estradiol (5 mg/kg) decreased both triacylglycerol (TG) lipase activity and neutral cholesteryl ester (CE) hydrolase activity in hepatic endosomes while increasing lysosomal lipid hydrolysis. These data suggest that estrogen may induce a shift in the site of intracellular lipid catabolism similar to that found in fasting animals [1]. This work also shows that TG-lipase activity is increased in the CURL and MVB endosomal fractions of ovariectomized rats compared to that found in the equivalent endosomal compartments of age-matched intact female controls. These observations are consistent with an inhibition of endosomal lipase by female sex hormones under physiologic conditions.

Abstract
We have studied the intracellular fate of the apolipoprotein B of copper-oxidized LDL in cultured J774 macrophages, using subcellular fractionation and immunofluorescence techniques. The oxidized apolipoprotein B, using cell fractionation, was located primarily in secondary lysosomes (identified using the lysosomal marker-enzyme aryl sulfatase). Light microscopy using antibodies to the mannose-6-phosphate receptor, the lysosomal membrane protein lgp 120, and oxidized LDL (biotinylated) confirmed that apo B of oxidized LDL did accumulate in secondary lysosomes rather than in endosomes. We conclude from these results that the oxidized apolipoprotein B of LDL reaches the secondary lysosomes, but is not efficiently degraded, leading to intracellular accumulation within this compartment. If this occurs in vivo it may influence the physiology of the macrophage and their subsequent roles in forming foam cells and the development of the fatty streaks of early atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The intracellular transport of [125I]tyramine cellobiose low-density lipoprotein ([125ITC]LDL) and [131ITC]beta-very-low-density lipoprotein ([131ITC]beta-VLDL) in rat liver was studied by means of centrifugation in sucrose and Nycodenz gradients. At time-points up to 45 min after intravenous injection, the two ligands were found in endosomes with distinctly different buoyant densities. In the Nycodenz gradients [131ITC]beta-VLDL appeared at 1.08 g/ml partly coinciding with the distribution of the cation independent (alpha)mannose-6-phosphate receptor, whereas [125ITC]LDL was found at 1.13 mg/ml, where the degradation of [125ITC]LDL started. [131ITC]beta-VLDL, on the other hand, was transferred to denser vesicles, banding at 1.16 g/ml, and degradation started in these organelles, similar to that observed with asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) that was used as a control ligand. Since degradation products coincided with beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase we assume that these organelles are secondary lysosomes. [125ITC]LDL was subsequently also transferred to these dense secondary lysosomes, and the distribution of degraded [125ITC]LDL was therefore bimodal until [125ITC]LDL was completely cleared from the circulation. Furthermore our results show that the different intracellular pathways observed are not due to uptake in different liver cell types, since the bimodal distribution of [125ITC]LDL was also evident in purified liver parenchymal cells. The data suggest that LDL and beta-VLDL follow different endosomal pathways in the rat hepatocytes and that both pathways meet in a common final lysosome. The data also support the notion that LDL and beta-VLDL are taken up through different endocytic receptors. However, following estradiol treatment, both ligands seem to follow a common pathway. In this case the density distributions of the two ligands coincide and resemble the pathway of LDL observed in control animals. This may be due to a pronounced up-regulation of LDL receptors following estradiol treatment, and beta-VLDL may under these conditions be taken up via the LDL receptor.

Abstract
The trafficking of apolipoprotein E-deficient high-density lipoprotein particles and of their component cholesteryl esters in rat hepatocytes was studied. Human high-density lipoprotein 3, labeled with two nondegradable, intracellularly trapped tracers in their apolipoprotein A-I and their cholesteryl esters, were injected into rats, and five subcellular hepatocytic fractions were isolated at various time intervals. In control experiments with homologous lipoproteins, doubly labeled rat high-density lipoproteins depleted of apolipoprotein E were used. In endosomes and lysosomes the two labels were recovered at near unity, indicating that high-density lipoproteins are endocytosed as particles, transported to early and late endosomes and finally subjected to lysosomal degradation. No significant amounts of label were found in receptor-recycling endosomes. In contrast to label of those of low-density lipoproteins, label of component protein and cholesteryl esters of high-density lipoproteins from isolated endosomes floated at different densities in gradient ultracentrifugation, indicating early disintegration of high-density lipoprotein particles. In contrast to the endocytic organelles, in the whole liver, label of high-density lipoprotein-associated cholesteryl esters exceeded the label of high-density lipoprotein-associated apolipoprotein A-I twofold to threefold. This finding is compatible with selective uptake of high-density lipoprotein cholesteryl esters in addition to uptake of high-density lipoprotein particles. The excess cholesteryl esters accumulated in a nonendosomal fraction, whose major proteins differed from the integral proteins of endosomes. These data suggest two distinct intracellular routes of hepatocytic high-density lipoprotein trafficking in vivo. High-density lipoproteins free of apolipoprotein E are internalized intact by hepatocytes, are predominantly transported to early and late endosomes and are finally subjected to lysosomal degradation. High-density lipoprotein particles do not undergo retroendocytosis in hepatocytes. In addition, high-density lipoprotein-associated cholesteryl esters can be taken up by hepatocytes selectively. They, however, accumulate in a nonendosomal, nonlysosomal compartment.

Abstract
Chylomicrons labelled with [3H]cholesterol/[3H]cholesterol esters in a ratio of 25.5: 74.5, were rapidly removed from rat serum in vivo, and taken up predominantly by the parenchymal liver cells (88.2%) of the hepatic uptake at 15 min after injection). Lactoferrin reduced the liver uptake of chylomicron remnants by 72%, at 20 min after injection. It appeared that the free cholesterol which is present in the chylomicrons is not readily exchanged within the used time period with other cholesterol pools in the animal. Between 10-60 min after injection of 3H-labelled chylomicrons, cholesterol esters are hydrolysed in the liver. Appearance of radioactivity in bile was rapid and at 3, 24 and 72 h after injection, 13.4%, 44.0% and 70.0%, respectively, of the injected dose appeared in bile, mainly as bile acids (> 90%). Lactoferrin reduced the biliary secretion of radioactivity, especially during the first hour after injection. The total amount of radioactivity recovered was 58.0% of the injected dose at 72 h after injection. After injection of beta-migrating very low-density lipoprotein labelled with [3H]cholesterol/[3H]cholesterol esters in a ratio of 23.5:76.5, the maximum amount of radioactivity secreted in bile was much lower than with chylomicrons (2.6% cf. 5.2% at 1 h after injection), although the kinetics of the initial liver association and cholesterol ester hydrolysis were even more rapid. Biliary accumulation of radioactivity was also lower with 50.5% of the injected dose recovered at 72 h after injection. It can be concluded from these studies that the processing of chylomicron remnant cholesterol components in the liver and the subsequent secretion in the bile mainly as bile acids is very efficient. The efficient liver uptake of chylomicron remnants by the liver remnant receptor is thereby essential to achieve this high percentage of removal, thus protecting against extrahepatic cholesterol (ester) deposition.
