Although reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral cell types is mediated through plasma membrane microdomains termed lipid rafts, almost nothing is known regarding the existence, protein/lipid composition, or structure of these putative domains in liver hepatocytes—cells responsible for net removal of cholesterol from the body. Lipid rafts purified from hepatocyte plasma membranes by a non-detergent affinity chromatography method were: (i) Present at 33+3% of total plasma membrane protein; (ii) Enriched in key proteins of the reverse cholesterol pathway (SR-B1, ABCA-1, P-gp, SCP-2); (iii) Devoid of caveolin-1; (iv) Enriched in cholesterol, sphingomyelin, GM1, and phospholipids low in polyunsaturated fatty acid and double bond index; and (v) Exhibited an intermediate liquid ordered lipid phase with significant transbilayer fluidity gradient. Ablation of the gene encoding SCP-2 significantly altered lipid rafts to: (i) Increase the proportion of lipid rafts present, thereby increasing raft total content of ABCA-1, P-gp, and SR-B1; (ii) Increase total phospholipids, while decreasing GM1 in lipid rafts; (iii) Decrease fluidity of lipid rafts, consistent with increased 'intermediate liquid ordered' phase; and (iv) Abolish the lipid raft transbilayer fluidity gradient. Thus, despite the absence of caveolin-1 in liver hepatocytes, lipid rafts represented nearly one third of the mouse hepatocyte plasma membrane proteins and displayed unique protein, lipid, and biophysical properties which were differentially regulated by SCP-2 expression.
