The multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was recently proposed to redistribute cholesterol in plasma membrane, thus suggesting that P-gp could modulate cholesterol efflux to cholesterol acceptors. To address this hypothesis and in order to reevaluate the role of P-gp in cholesterol homeostasis, we first analyzed the role of the P-gp expression on cholesterol efflux in P-gp stably-transfected drug-selected LLC-MDR1 cells. Cholesterol efflux to methyl-

Reevaluation of the role of the multidrug resistant P-glycoprotein in cellular cholesterol homeostasis
-cyclodextrin (CD) was 4-fold higher in LLC-MDR1 cells as compared to control LLC-PK1 cells, indicating that the accessible pool of plasma membrane cholesterol was increased by P-gp expression. However using P-gp inducible cells lines, HeLa MDR-Tet and 77.1 MDR-Tet, cholesterol efflux to CD, apolipoprotein A-I, or high density lipoproteins (HDL) was not associated with P-gp expression. In addition, we did not observe any effect of P-gp expression on cellular free and esterified cholesterol content, cholesteryl ester uptake from low density lipoproteins and HDL particles, or acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase activity. We therefore conclude that P-gp expression does not play a major role in cholesterol homeostasis in P-gp inducible cells and that effects of P-gp on cholesterol homeostasis previously described in drug-selected cells might result from non-P-gp pathways that were also induced by selection for drug resistance.
