As villous trophoblast does represent the contact zone between foetal and maternal tissues, the present in vitro study was aimed at investigating cholesterol supply from human high density lipoprotein subclass 3 (HDL(3)) to trophoblast cells isolated from human first trimester and term placenta. Binding of (125)I-HDL(3) was specific and saturable with similar K(d)-values for first trimester (54 microg HDL(3)-protein/ml) and term villous trophoblast cells (29 microg HDL(3)-protein/ml). The cell-association of (125)I-HDL(3) was 3-fold higher for term trophoblast cells while the specific cell-association of [(3)H]cholesterol ester(CE)-labelled HDL(3) was higher for first trimester trophoblast preparations. As a consequence, first trimester trophoblast cells have a pronounced capacity for selective CE-uptake from HDL(3). Competition experiments with native and oxidized low-density lipoprotein as well as cAMP-mediated stimulation of cell-association of [(3)H]CE-HDL(3) in both trophoblast preparations suggested the scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR-BI) as a likely receptor mediating this pathway. SR-BI m RNA could be identified by RT-PCR and Northern blot experiments in both trophoblast preparations. Western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry revealed high expression of SR-BI in first trimester trophoblast. A polyclonal antiserum raised against murine SR-BI significantly decreased cell-association of [(3)H]CE-HDL(3) in trophoblast cells. We conclude that human first trimester and term trophoblast cells express SR-BI which could serve as an efficient route for supplying cholesterol esters from maternal lipoproteins to foetal tissues.
