Abstract

Eight proteins potentially involved in cholesterol efflux [ABCA1, ABCG1, CYP27A1, phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), scavenger receptor type BI (SR-BI), caveolin-1, cholesteryl ester transfer protein, and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I)] were overexpressed alone or in combination in RAW 264.7 macrophages. When apoA-I was used as an acceptor, overexpression of the combination of ABCA1, CYP27A1, PLTP, and SR-BI (Combination I) enhanced the efflux by 4.3-fold. It was established that the stimulation of efflux was due to increased abundance of ABCA1 and increased apoA-I binding to non-ABCA1 sites on macrophages. This combination caused only a small increase of the efflux to isolated HDL. When HDL was used as an acceptor, overexpression of caveolin-1 or a combination of caveolin-1 and SR-BI (Combination II) was the most active, doubling the efflux to HDL, without affecting the efflux to apoA-I. When tested in the in vivo mouse model of cholesterol efflux, overexpression of ABCA1 and Combination I elevated cholesterol export from macrophages to plasma, liver, and feces, whereas overexpression of caveolin-1 or Combination II did not have an effect. We conclude that pathways of cholesterol efflux using apoA-I as an acceptor make a predominant contribution to cholesterol export from macrophages in vivo.
