Abstract
CONTEXT The ratio of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to apolipoprotein-B (LDL-C/apoB) conventionally represents an alternative index of LDL particle size. OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to determine the importance of LDL-C/apoB ratio in the overall evaluation of atherogenicity of lipid profile. METHODS The plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, apoB and apoE were measured in 186 apparently healthy men using enzymatic and immunoturbidimetric methods. RESULTS The subjects with low values of the LDL-C/apoB ratio, indicating a predominance of small dense LDL (sd-LDL) particles in plasma, were characterized by higher TG levels and lower apoE levels. CONCLUSION Low levels of apoE are most likely a cause of reduced clearance of TG-rich lipoproteins, which promotes the formation of sd-LDL. Determination of the LDL-C/apoB ratio can be used for monitoring qualitative changes in lipid profile, in addition to traditional lipid variables indicating quantitative changes.

Abstract
One of the most significant characteristics of cancer cells is their rapid dividing ability and overexpression of LDL receptors, which offers an opportunity for the selective targeting of these cells. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)-encapsulated low density lipid nanoparticles (LDLN) were prepared by the emulsion congealing method which mimics the plasma-derived LDL by acquiring the apolipoprotein B-100 from the blood. The average particle size, transmission electron microscope (TEM), and drug content of the prepared LDLN dispersion were found to be 161±3.5 nm, with spherical shape, and 0.370±0.05 mg/mL, respectively. In vitro release studies revealed a sustained profile which decreased with a lapse of time. In vivo studies of 5-FU serum concentration and biodistribution revealed a 5-FU serum concentration of 8.5% in tumor cells and about 2.1% in the liver at the end of 24 hr from LDLN. Tumor growth suppression studies showed 185.42% average tumor growth and 89.76% tumor height as compared to the control exhibiting tumor growth at 1166.47% and tumor height at 176.07%. On the basis of these collective data, it is suggested that a higher accumulation of LDLN, when given as an IV, in solid tumors is attributed to the active uptake of LDLN via LDL receptors via apolipoprotein B-100.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the predominant phospholipid associated with high density lipoproteins (HDL). Although the hepatic uptake of cholesteryl esters from HDL is well characterized, much less is known about the fate of PC associated with HDL. Thus, we investigated the uptake and subsequent metabolism of HDL-PC in primary mouse hepatocytes. METHODS AND RESULTS The absence of scavenger receptor-BI resulted in a 30% decrease in cellular incorporation of [(3)H]PC whereas [(3)H]cholesteryl ether uptake was almost completely abolished. Although endocytosis is not involved in the uptake of cholesteryl esters from HDL, we demonstrate that HDL internalization accounts for 40% of HDL-PC uptake. Extracellular remodeling of HDL by secretory phospholipase A(2) significantly enhances HDL lipid uptake. HDL-PC taken up by hepatocytes is partially converted to triacylglycerols via PC-phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of PC and incorporation of diacylglycerol into triacylglycerol. The formation of triacylglycerol is independent of scavenger receptor-BI and occurs in extralysosomal compartments. CONCLUSIONS AND GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE These findings indicate that HDL-associated PC is incorporated into primary hepatocytes via a pathway that differs significantly from that of HDL-cholesteryl ester, and shows that HDL-PC is more than a framework molecule, as evidenced by its partial conversion to hepatic triacylglycerol.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein remnants by the liver is a key step in preventing hypertriglyceridemia, an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We review recent genetic evidence that heparan sulfate proteoglycans work in concert with the LDL receptor in the liver to facilitate binding and clearance of both triglyceride and cholesterol-rich lipoproteins from the circulation. RECENT FINDINGS Partial reduction of sulfation of liver heparan sulfate using the Cre-loxP system caused accumulation of hepatic and dietary triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles due to delayed clearance. Compounding the mutation with LDL receptor deficiency caused enhanced accumulation of both cholesterol and triglyceride-rich particles compared with mice lacking only LDL receptors. These findings provide the first genetic evidence that hepatic heparan sulfate proteoglycans play a central role in the clearance of lipoproteins by the liver and work independently of LDL receptors. SUMMARY A role for hepatocyte heparan sulfate in lipoprotein metabolism has now been genetically established in mice. Given this finding, mild, but clinically relevant, hyperlipidemias in human patients may be a result of alterations in heparan sulfate structure or possible genetic polymorphisms in the relevant biosynthetic genes.

Abstract
We have studied the uptake and metabolism of phosphatidylcholine (PC), the major phospholipid of low density lipoproteins (LDL), by cultures of primary hepatocytes. Strikingly, in the absence of the LDL receptor, PC incorporation into hepatocytes was inhibited by only 30%, whereas cholesteryl ether uptake was inhibited by 60-70%. On the other hand, scavenger receptor class B, type I, the other important receptor for LDL in the liver, was found to be responsible for the uptake of the remaining 30-40% of LDL-cholesteryl ether. PC uptake was, however, only partially inhibited (30%) in scavenger receptor class B, type I, knock-out hepatocytes. Once LDL-PC was taken up by hepatocytes, approximately 50% of LDL-[(3)H]oleate-PC was converted to triacylglycerol rather than degraded in lysosomes as occurs for LDL-derived cholesteryl esters. The remainder of the LDL-derived PC was not significantly metabolized to other products. Triacylglycerol synthesis from LDL-PC requires a PC-phospholipase C activity as demonstrated by inhibition with the phospholipase C inhibitor D609 or activation with rattlesnake venom. Small interfering RNA-mediated suppression of acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2), but not DGAT1, decreased the acylation of the LDL-derived diacylglycerol. These findings show that PC in LDL particles is taken up not only by the classical receptors but also by additional mechanism(s) followed by metabolism that is completely different from the cholesteryl esters or apoB100, the other main components of LDL.

Abstract
Lipocalin 2 (Lcn2, NGAL) is a member of the lipocalin superfamily with diverse functions such as the transport of fatty acids and the induction of apoptosis. Previous reports indicated that expression of Lcn2 is induced under harmful conditions. However, the mechanisms of the induction of Lcn2 expression remain to be elucidated. In this report, we intended to identify the factor or factors that induce Lcn2 expression. Up-regulation of Lcn2 expression after X-ray exposure was detected in the heart, the kidney and especially in the liver. Primary culture of liver component cells revealed that this up-regulation in the liver was induced in hepatocytes. Up-regulation of Lcn2 expression was also detected in HepG2 cells after the administration of X-rays or H(2)O(2). Interestingly, up-regulation of Lcn2 expression after H(2)O(2) treatment was canceled by the addition of the anti-oxidants, dimethylsulfoxide or cysteamine. These results strongly suggest that Lcn2 expression is induced by reactive oxygen species. Therefore, Lcn2 could be a useful biomarker to identify oxidative stress both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Heparan sulfate (HS), is a proteoglycan (PG) found both in the extracellular matrix and on cell surface. It may represent one of the most biologically important glycoconjugates, playing an essential role in a variety of different events at molecular level. The publication of the mouse genome, and the intensive investigations aimed at understanding the proteome it encodes, has motivated us to initiate studies in mouse glycomics focused on HS. The current study is aimed at determining the quantitative and qualitative organ distribution of HS in mice. HS from brain, eyes, heart, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, intestine and skin was purified from 6-8 week old male and female mice. The recovered yield of HS from these organs is compared with the recovered whole body yield of HS. Structural characterization of the resulting HS relied on disaccharide analysis and (1)H-NMR spectroscopy. Different organs revealed a characteristic HS structure. These data begin to provide a structural understanding of the role of HS in cell-cell interactions, cell signaling and sub-cellular protein trafficking as well as a fundamental understanding of certain aspects of protein-carbohydrate interactions.

Abstract
In blood circulation, low density lipoproteins (LDL) can undergo modification, such as oxidation, and become key factors in the development of atherosclerosis. Although the liver is the major organ involved in the elimination of oxidized LDL (oxLDL), the identity of the receptor(s) involved remains to be defined. Our work aims to clarify the role of the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) in the hepatic metabolism of mildly and standardly oxLDL as well as the relative contribution of parenchymal (hepatocytes) and nonparenchymal liver cells with a special emphasis on CE-selective uptake. The association of native LDL and mildly or standardly oxLDL labeled either in proteins or in cholesteryl esters (CE) was measured on primary cultures of mouse hepatocytes from normal and SR-BI knock-out (KO) mice. These in vitro assays demonstrated that hepatocytes are able to mediate CE-selective uptake from both LDL and oxLDL and that SR-BI KO hepatocytes have a 60% reduced ability to selectively take CE from LDL but not towards mildly or standardly oxLDL. When lipoproteins were injected in the mouse inferior vena cava, parenchymal and nonparenchymal liver cells accumulated more CE than proteins from native, mildly and standardly oxLDL, indicating that selective uptake of CE from these lipoproteins occurs in vivo in these two cell types. The parenchymal cells contribute near 90% of the LDL-CE selective uptake and SR-BI for 60% of this pathway. Nonparenchymal cells capture mainly standardly oxLDL while parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells equally take up mildly oxLDL. An 82% reduction of standardly oxLDL-CE selective uptake by the nonparenchymal cells of SR-BI KO mice allowed emphasizing the contribution of SR-BI in hepatic metabolism of standardly oxLDL. However, SR-BI is not responsible for mildly oxLDL metabolism. Thus, SR-BI is involved in LDL- and standardly oxLDL-CE selective uptake in parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells, respectively.

Abstract
The physiological role of murine scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) was evaluated by in vivo clearances of human HDL3 and LDL in normal and SR-BI knockout (KO) mice. In normal mice, cholesteryl esters (CEs) were removed faster than proteins, indicating a selective uptake process from both HDL3 and LDL. SR-BI KO mice showed 80% losses of HDL-CE selective uptake and the complete loss of LDL-CE selective uptake in the first phase of clearance. However, the second phase was characterized by an acceleration of CE disappearance in SR-BI KO mice. Thus, SR-BI is the only murine receptor mediating HDL-CE selective uptake, whereas a SR-BI-independent pathway specific to LDL can rescue SR-BI deficiency. The analysis of LDL recovered 3 h after injection in mice from different genotypes revealed that LDLs are significantly depleted in CE (reduction from 19% to 50% of the CE/protein ratios). A smaller LDL size in comparison with that of noninjected LDL was also detectable but was more evident for LDL recovered from normal mice. All LDL preparations migrate faster than noninjected LDL on agarose-barbital gels. Thus, both SR-BI-dependent and -independent pathways lead to substantial changes in LDL.

Abstract
The scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) is a 509-amino acid, 82 kDa glycoprotein, with two cytoplasmic C- and N-terminal domains separated by a large extracellular domain. The aim of this review is to define the role of SR-BI as a lipoprotein receptor responsible for selective uptake of cholesteryl esters (CE) from high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) and free cholesterol (FC) efflux to lipoprotein acceptors. These activities depend on lipoprotein binding to its extracellular domain and subsequent lipid exchange at the plasma membrane. CE selective uptake supplies cholesterol to liver and steroidogenic tissues, for biliary cholesterol secretion and steroid hormone synthesis. Genetically modified mice have confirmed SR-BI's major role in tissue cholesterol uptake and in reverse cholesterol transport, i.e. cholesterol turnover. Accordingly, cellular cholesterol level, estrogens and trophic hormones regulate SR-BI expression by both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. Importantly, mouse SR-BI overexpression has both corrective and preventive effects on atherosclerosis. Human SR-BI has very similar tissue distribution, binding properties and lipid transfer activities compared to rodent SR-BI. However, human plasma has most of its cholesterol in LDL. Thus, there is considerable interest to develop anti-atherogenic strategies involving human SR-BI-mediated increases in reverse cholesterol transport through HDL and/or LDL.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesteryl ester (CE) selective uptake has been demonstrated in nonhepatic cells overexpressing the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI). The role of hepatic SR-BI toward LDL, the main carrier of plasma CE in humans, remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine if SR-BI, expressed at its normal level, is implicated in LDL-CE selective uptake in human HepG2 hepatoma cells and mouse hepatic cells, to quantify its contribution and to determine if LDL-CE selective uptake is likely to occur in the presence of human HDL. First, antibody blocking experiments were conducted on normal HepG2 cells. SR-BI/BII antiserum inhibited (125)I-LDL and (125)I-HDL(3) binding (10 microg of protein/mL) by 45% (p < 0.05) and CE selective uptake by more than 85% (p < 0.01) for both ligands. Second, HepG2 cells were stably transfected with a eukaryotic vector expressing a 400-bp human SR-BI antisense cDNA fragment. Clone 17 (C17) has a 70% (p < 0.01) reduction in SR-BI expression. In this clone, (3)H-CE-LDL and (3)H-CE-HDL(3) association (10 microg of protein/mL) was 54 +/- 6% and 45 +/- 7% of control values, respectively, while (125)I-LDL and (125)I-HDL(3) protein association was 71 +/- 3% and 58 +/- 5% of controls, resulting in 46% and 55% (p < 0.01) decreases in LDL- and HDL(3)-CE selective uptake. Normalizing CE selective uptake for SR-BI expression reveals that SR-BI is responsible for 68% and 74% of LDL- and HDL(3)-CE selective uptake, respectively. Thus, both approaches show that, in HepG2 cells, SR-BI is responsible for 68-85% of CE selective uptake. Other pathways for selective uptake in HepG2 cells do not require CD36, as shown by anti-CD36 antibody blocking experiments, or class A scavenger receptors, as shown by the lack of competition by poly(inosinic acid). However, CD36 is a functional oxidized LDL receptor on HepG2 cells, as shown by antibody blocking experiments. Similar results for CE selective uptake were obtained with primary cultures of hepatic cells from normal (+/+), heterozygous (-/+), and homozygous (-/-) SR-BI knockout mice. Flow cytometry experiments show that SR-BI accounts for 75% of DiI-LDL uptake, the LDL receptor for 14%, and other pathways for 11%. CE selective uptake from LDL and HDL(3) is likely to occur in the liver, since unlabeled HDL (total and apoE-free HDL(3)) and LDL, when added in physiological proportions, only partially competed for LDL- and HDL(3)-CE selective uptake. In this setting, human hepatic SR-BI may be a crucial molecule in the turnover of both LDL- and HDL(3)-cholesterol.
