The efficiency of supplying cholesterol by the LDL endocytic pathway of lymphoblastic T CEM cells was compared when incubated in the presence of either fetal calf serum (FCS) or lipoprotein-depleted fetal calf serum (LDFCS). In the presence of FCS, there were 8600 +/- 2000 LDL receptors/cell with a Kd of (2.2 +/- 0.8).10(-8) M and a receptor cycling time of about 7 min; about 90% of the internalized LDL was degraded. LDL degradation produced 98% of total cellular cholesterol and only 2% came from endogenous synthesis. The absence of LDL in the culture medium of lymphoblastic CEM cells deeply modified certain metabolic and structural characteristics of the cells. Their cholesterol content decreased; the total number of LDL receptors increased 6-fold, whereas their affinity for the ligand decreased by the same factor (Kd = (1.2 +/- 0.2).10(-7) M); the receptor cycling time increased 3-fold. Finally, LDL degraded by cholesterol-depleted CEM cells amounted to about 40% of that degraded by untreated CEM cells.
