Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is a cell surface receptor that binds high density lipoproteins (HDL) and mediates selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters (CE) in transfected cells. To address the physiological role of SR-BI in HDL cholesterol homeostasis, mice were generated bearing an SR-BI promoter mutation that resulted in decreased expression of the receptor in homozygous mutant (designated SR-BI att) mice. Hepatic expression of the receptor was reduced by 53% with a corresponding increase in total plasma cholesterol levels of 50-70% in SR-BI att mice, attributable almost exclusively to elevated plasma HDL. In addition to increased HDL-CE, HDL phospholipids and apo A-1 levels were elevated, and there was an increase in HDL particle size in mutant mice. Metabolic studies using HDL bearing nondegradable radiolabels in both the protein and lipid components demonstrated that reducing hepatic SR-BI expression by half was associated with a decrease of 47% in selective uptake of CE by the liver, and a corresponding reduction of 53% in selective removal of HDL-CE from plasma. Taken together, these findings strongly support a pivotal role for hepatic SR-BI expression in regulating plasma HDL levels and indicate that SR-BI is the major molecule mediating selective CE uptake by the liver. The inverse correlation between plasma HDL levels and atherosclerosis further suggests that SR-BI may influence the development of coronary artery disease.
