Effects of cholesterol sulfate on lipid metabolism in cultured human keratinocytes and fibroblasts

Effects of cholesterol sulfate on acetate incorporation into lipid fractions were examined in normal human fibroblast and keratinocyte cultures. Inhibition of sterologenesis in normal fibroblast cultures by cholesterol sulfate was less profound than that produced by either lipoprotein-containing serum or 25-hydroxycholesterol. Cholesterol sulfate also inhibited sterologenesis in low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient fibroblasts and inhibited both sterologenesis and 3- hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase activity in keratinocytes. Cholesterol sulfate increased incorporation of acetate into fatty acid-containing lipids in preconfluent cultures of both cell types in lipoprotein-depleted media. Similar effects were not observed either in response to lipoprotein-containing serum or 25- hydroxycholesterol. Cholesterol sulfate had no effect on oleic acid incorporation into diglycerides, triglycerides, or phospholipid fractions; neither did it inhibit acid lipase activity; nor did it inhibit fatty acid oxidation, indicating that cholesterol sulfate does not inhibit catabolism of acyl lipids. Because cholesterol sulfate had similar effects on fatty acid metabolism in steroid sulfatase-deficient fibroblasts lines, desulfation to cholesterol is not a prerequisite. Cholesterol sulfate did not significantly affect incorporation of oleic acid into sterol esters in fibroblast cultures, but in contrast, inhibited sterol esterification in keratinocyte cultures. These data suggest a novel role for cholesterol sulfate as a modulator of cellular lipid biosynthesis.
