Abstract:
:Eicosanoids have been implicated in the regulation of arterial smooth muscle cell (SMC) cholesteryl ester (CE) metabolism. These eicosanoids, which include prostacyclin (PGI2), stimulate CE hydrolytic activities. High-density lipoproteins (HDL), which promote cholesterol efflux, also stimulate PGI2 production, suggesting that HDL-induced cholesterol efflux is modulated by eicosanoid biosynthesis. To ascertain the role of endogenously synthesized eicosanoids produced by arterial smooth muscle cells in the regulation of CE metabolism, we examined the effects of cyclooxygenase inhibition on CE hydrolytic enzyme activities, cholesterol efflux, and cholesterol content in normal SMC and SMC-derived foam cells following exposure to HDL and another cholesterol acceptor protein, serum albumin. Alterations of these activities were correlated with cholesterol efflux in response to HDL or bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the presence or absence of aspirin. HDL stimulated PGI2 synthesis and CE hydrolases in a dose-dependent manner. Eicosanoid dependency was established by demonstrating that HDL-induced acid cholesteryl ester hydrolase (ACEH) activity was blocked by aspirin. CE enrichment essentially abrogated HDL-induced PGI2 production in cells which also exhibited decreased lysosomal and cytoplasmic CE hydrolase activities. In CE-enriched cells whose cytoplasmic CE pool was metabolically labeled with [3H]oleate or cLDL containing [3H]cholesteryl linoleate, aspirin did not alter HDL- or BSA-induced net CE hydrolysis or efflux, respectively. Finally, aspirin treatment did not alter the mass of either free or esterified cholesterol content of untreated or CE-enriched SMC following exposure to acceptor proteins. These data demonstrated that CE enrichment significantly reduced HDL-induced activation of CE hydrolytic activity via inhibition of endogenous PGI2 production.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
