Objective - Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters (CE) and facilitates efflux of unesterified cholesterol. SR-BI expression in macrophages presumably plays a role in atherosclerosis. The role of SR-BI for selective CE uptake and cholesterol efflux in macrophages was explored. Methods and Results - Macrophages and HDL originated from wildtype (WT) or SR-BI Knockout (KO, homozygous) mice. For uptake, macrophages incubated in medium containing 125I-/[3H]-labeled HDL. For lipid removal, [3H]cholesterol efflux was analyzed using HDL as acceptor. Selective uptake of HDL CE ([3H]CEt 125I-TC) was similar in WT and in SR-BI KO macrophages. Radiolabeled SR-BI KO-HDL yielded a lower rate of selective uptake compared to WT-HDL in WT and in SR-BI KO macrophages. Cholesterol efflux was similar in WT and in SR-BI KO cells using HDL as acceptor. SR-BI KO-HDL more efficiently promoted cholesterol removal compared to WT-HDL from both types of macrophages. Conclusions - Macrophages selectively take up HDL CE independently from SR-BI. Besides, in macrophages there is substantial cholesterol efflux which is not mediated by SR-BI. Therefore SR-BI-independent mechanisms mediate selective CE uptake and cholesterol removal. SR-BI KO-HDL is an inferior donor for selective CE uptake compared to WT-HDL whereas SR-BI KO-HDL more efficiently promotes cholesterol efflux.
