Regulation of adrenal scavenger receptor-BI expression by ACTH and cellular cholesterol pools

Correspondence to: Alan R. Tall

Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) mediates selective uptake of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl ester in the liver and adrenal gland. Adrenal SR-BI is increased both in adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-treated mice and also in apolipoprotein A-I knock-out (apoA-I0) mice which have depleted adrenal cholesterol stores. The goal of the present study was to determine whether adrenal cholesterol stores and ACTH have independent effects on SR-BI expression in adrenal gland. Adrenal SR-BI levels were 5-fold higher in apoA-I0 than wild-type mice when killed under low stress condition, and plasma ACTH levels were similar in both strains. After male apoA-I0 or wild-type mice were treated with dexamethasone to suppress ACTH release, adrenal SR-BI protein levels were decreased in both groups but remained 13-fold higher in apoA-I0 than in wild-type mice. By contrast, uncontrolled stress or supplemental ACTH treatment increased SR-BI levels but narrowed the difference in SR-BI expression between apoA-I0 and wild-type. Cholesterol depletion by ß-cyclodextrin in cultured Y1-BS1 adrenal cells also led to a rapid 2- to 3-fold increase in SR-BI mRNA and protein levels, in association with a significant depletion of cellular free cholesterol.

These results indicate that depletion of adrenal cholesterol stores can act independently from ACTH to increase SR-BI expression, but in vivo this effect is diminished under high ACTH conditions. Both stimuli may increase selective uptake via increased SR-BI as a means of replenishing cholesterol stores for steroid hormone synthesis.—Sun, Y., N. Wang, and A. R. Tall.
