Human umbilical vein endothelial cell monolayers were grown as monolayers on porous filters and their transcellular transport and degradation of 125I-labelled native and modified forms of LDL, supplied to either the intimal or the luminal face, were measured. Intact native, acetylated and oxidized LDL were all transported in both directions across the cell monolayers by receptor-independent mechanisms, and all forms of LDL were transported at similar rates. However, the mass of intact LDL transported from the intimal to the luminal face of the monolayer was always fourfold more than that transported in the opposite direction under similar conditions. In addition to LDL transport, endothelial cell monolayers also degraded native and modified forms of LDL by predominantly receptor-dependent routes, in that these could be inhibited (> 70%) by the addition of a 20-fold excess of the same form of (but unlabelled) LDL. The measured amounts of lipoprotein degraded were the same whether supplied to the intimal or the luminal face. Incubation of endothelial cells with oxidized LDL led to intracellular accumulation of a pool of macromolecular apo B which was apparently resistant to lysosomal proteolysis.
