We developed an assay that quantitates bidirectional cholesterol flux between cells and lipoproteins. Incubating Fu5AH cells with increasing concentrations of human serum resulted in increased influx and efflux; however, influx was 2- to 3-fold greater at all serum concentrations. With apolipoprotein B (apoB)-depleted serum, the ratio of influx to efflux (I/E) was close to 1, indicating cholesterol exchange. The apoB fraction of serum induced influx and little efflux, with I/E > 1. Using block lipid transport-1 to block scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI)-mediated flux with different acceptors, we determined that 50% to 70% of efflux was via SR-BI. With HDL, 90% of influx was via SR-BI, whereas with LDL or serum, 20% of influx was SR-BI-mediated. Cholesterol-enriched hepatoma cells produced increased efflux without a change in influx, resulting in reduced I/E. The assay was applied to cholesterol-normal and -enriched mouse peritoneal macrophages exposed to serum or LDL. The enrichment enhanced efflux without shifts in influx. With cholesterol-enriched macrophages, HDL efflux was enhanced and influx was greatly reduced. With all lipoproteins, cholesterol enrichment of murine peritoneal macrophages led to a reduced I/E. We conclude that this assay can simultaneously and accurately quantitate cholesterol bidirectional flux and can be applied to a variety of cells exposed to isolated lipoproteins or serum.

Supplementary key words efflux • influx • macrophages • hepatoma • ATP binding cassette transporter A1 • scavenger receptor class B type I • high density lipoprotein
