LDL receptor family-dependent and -independent pathways for the internalization and digestion of lipoprotein lipase-associated beta- VLDL by rat vascular smooth muscle cells

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) promotes the binding and internalization of beta-VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) by many cell types. We examined the function of receptors in the LDL receptor family (LRF) and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) in the metabolism of LPL- associated beta-VLDLa by rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in culture. These cells express LDL receptor-related protein and the VLDL receptor, but not the LDL receptor. LPL greatly increased the binding of 125I-labeled beta-VLDL to VSMCs at 4 degrees C. Binding was almost entirely inhibited by heparin, but essentially unaffected by the potent LRF-antagonist, receptor-associated protein (RAP), indicating that LRFs do not contribute significantly to the VSMC binding capacity for LPL- associated beta-VLDL. At 37 degrees C, RAP inhibited the rapid internalization of LPL-associated 125I-labeled beta-VLDL and the digestion of the beta-VLDL into trichloroacetic acid soluble radioactivity; these processes still occurred, but at a decreased rate. RAP did not inhibit the ability of beta-VLDL-LPL complex to stimulate VSMC ACAT activity. Furthermore, in Oil red-O histochemistry experiments, which model foam cell transformation in vitro, RAP paradoxically increased cholesteryl ester storage in VSMCs treated with beta-VLDL and LPL under specific cell culture conditions. These results support a model in which the internalization of LPL-associated beta- VLDL by VSMCs is mediated by two pathways, one involving LRFs and a second that is independent of LRFs, probably involving direct uptake by HSPG. The LRF-dependent pathway leads to less cellular storage of cholesteryl ester and thus may be antiatherogenic under certain conditions.
