The scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates the selective uptake of cholesterol and cholesteryl ester (CE) from high density lipoprotein (HDL) into cells. The high expression in liver and steroidogenic tissues is compatible with a role of SR-BI in reverse cholesterol transport and steroid hormone synthesis. Ways of regulation thus far described include induction by trophic hormones via cAMP-activated protein kinase A (PKA) and the effects of cellular and plasma cholesterol. Here we show that vitamin E (vitE) has a major effect on the expression of SR-BI in rat liver and in a human hepatoma-derived cell line, HepG2. Feeding rats a vitE-depleted diet resulted in an 11-fold increase in the SR-BI protein level in liver tissue. This effect was readily reversed by feeding a vitE-enriched chow. In HepG2 cells, the expression of the human SR-BI homolog was reduced when the vitE content was increased by incubating the cells with vitE-loaded HDL or with phosphatidylcholine/vitE vesicles. The downregulation of human SR-BI (hSR-BI) was accompanied by a reduced level of protein kinase C (PKC) in the particulate cell fraction, and PKC inhibition decreased the expression of hSR-BI and the uptake of vitE and cholesterol from HDL. Our results are consistent with the view that the cellular level of vitE exerts a tight control over the expression of SR-BI. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of vitE on PKC seems to be involved in the signaling pathway.
