High-density lipoprotein mediates a normal physiological process called reverse cholesterol transport. In this process, a scavenger receptor of the B class (SR-BI)/human homologue of SR-BI, CD36, and LIMPII analogous-1 (hSR-BI/CLA-1) facilitates the cellular uptake of cholesterol from high-density lipoprotein. In endothelial cells, high-density lipoprotein activates endothelial NO synthase via hSR-BI/CLA-1. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a powerful accelerator of atherosclerosis and modulates the expression of endothelial NO synthase. In the present study, we have examined the role of Ang II on hSR-BI/CLA-1 expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Our results showed that endogenous expression of hSR-BI/CLA-1 was suppressed by exposure to Ang II in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Administration of the Ang II type-1 receptor blocker olmesartan inhibited Ang II-induced hSR-BI/CLA-1 protein repression. In Ang II-treated cells, high-density lipoprotein had no effect on endothelial NO synthase activation. Ang II decreased transcriptional activity of the hSR-BI/CLA-1 promoter. The inhibitory effect of Ang II on hSR-BI/CLA-1 promoter activity was abrogated by wortmannin and LY294002, specific inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Exposure of human umbilical vein endothelial cells to Ang II elicited a rapid phosphorylation of Akt and FoxO1, a known target of Akt signaling. Constitutively active Akt inhibits the activity of the hSR-BI/CLA-1 promoter, and a dominant-negative mutant of Akt or mutagenesis of a FoxO1 response element in the hSR-BI/CLA-1 abolished the ability of Ang II to suppress promoter activity. Together, these results indicate that the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt/FoxO1 pathway participates in Ang II suppression of hSR-BI/CLA-1 expression and suggests that the endothelial receptor for hSR-BI/CLA-1 is downregulated by the renin-angiotensin system.
