Type C Niemann-Pick disease. A parallel loss of regulatory responses in both the uptake and esterification of low density lipoprotein-derived cholesterol in cultured fibroblasts
Abstract
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) internalization by mutant type C Niemann-Pick (NPC) fibroblasts results in uptake of excess total cholesterol. Uptake of excess lipoprotein cholesterol appears to be mediated by the specific LDL receptor pathway. Associated with excessive LDL-cholesterol uptake is a lesion in early intracellular cholesteryl ester synthesis. In vitro acylCoA:cholesterol acyltransferase activity is normal in cell-free extracts of mutant cells. The ability of exogenous sterols to enhance intracellular esterification of [3H]mevalonate-derived [3H]cholesterol was severely limited in mutant cell cultures suggesting that in vivo activation and/or expression of activated acylCoA:cholesterol acyltransferase may be compromised by the primary mutation of type C Niemann-Pick disease. After 2 days of LDL uptake, rates of intracellular cholesteryl ester synthesis in mutant cells paralleled the rates of esterification in normal cells suggesting that specific early in vivo expression of the acyltransferase may be affected in this disorder.
