Recently, SR-BI-mediated endocytosis and recycling of HDL have been demonstrated. However, it remains unclear whether efficient SR-BI-mediated selective uptake occurs strictly at the plasma membrane or at additional sites along its endocytic itinerary. To examine the requirement for SR-BI endocytosis in HDL selective uptake, we determined the effects of energy depletion on the levels of cell-associated HDL protein and CE in primary mouse hepatocytes. Compared with CHO cells, we observed a much larger energy-dependent effect on CE uptake in primary mouse hepatocytes. Although varying the levels of caveolin-1 and carboxyl ester lipase altered the efficiency of selective uptake, neither was able to account for the energy-dependent component of HDL-CE uptake. Finally, we demonstrate that the hepatocyte-specific, energy-dependent effects on HDL-apolipoprotein A-I and -CE uptake are independent of SR-BI and are not required to achieve efficient SR-BI-mediated selective uptake of CE. Together, these data support the conclusion that neither the intracellular trafficking of HDL nor any energy-dependent cellular process affects the ability of the cell to maximally acquire CE through SR-BI-mediated selective uptake from HDL.
