Abstract

Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is an HDL receptor. It binds HDL and mediates the uptake of cholesteryl ester from HDL. Early studies have pointed out that the extracellular domain of SR-BI is critical for SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake. However, the extracellular loop of SR-BI is large: it contains 403 amino acids. The HDL binding site and the modulation of SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake remain to be identified. In this study, using C323G mutant SR-BI, we showed that C323G mutant SR-BI lost its HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake activity, indicating that the highly conserved C323 is required for SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake. Using a blocking antibody against C323 region, we demonstrated that C323 is directly involved in HDL binding and likely an HDL binding site. Using C323G mutant transgenic mouse model, we further demonstrated that C323 of SR-BI is required for regulating plasma cholesterol levels in vivo. Using redox reagents, we showed that physiological relevant levels of H₂O₂ upregulated the SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake activity by 65%, whereas GSH or DTT significantly downregulated SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake activity by 45%. C323 of SR-BI is critical for SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake, and changes in redox status may be a regulatory factor modulating SR-BI-mediated cholesterol transport.

Keywords: scavenger receptor class B type I, cholesterol efflux, high density lipoprotein

Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI or Scarb1) is a physiological receptor for HDL (1, 2). It regulates plasma cholesterol levels through a process called reverse cholesterol transport, in which SR-BI uptakes cholesteryl ester from HDL into hepatocytes and subsequently secretes cholesterol from bile. SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake is also required for steroidogenesis, in which SR-BI uptakes cholesteryl ester from HDL into endocrine tissues for steroid synthesis (3–7). The importance of SR-BI-mediated cholesterol transport has been established in mouse models. Mice deficient in SR-BI have a 2-fold increase in total cholesterol concentration and a 3-fold increase in free cholesterol concentration in circulation, and they develop cardiovascular diseases (8–13). Mice overexpressing SR-BI have lower plasma cholesterol levels (14–17) and are protected against the development of atherosclerosis (11, 18). A recent report showed that a family with functional mutation in SR-BI has elevated plasma HDL and changes in cholesterol metabolism in macrophages and platelets, indicating a role of SR-BI in humans (19). In addition to modulating HDL metabolism, recent studies revealed that SR-BI is a multifunctional protein. It activates eNOS in endothelial cells in the presence of HDL (20–23), induces apoptosis in the absence of HDL/eNOS (24), protects against nitric oxide (NO)-induced oxidative damage (25), and prevents endotoxic and septic animal death (25–27).

SR-BI facilitates intracellular uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters in a two-step process involving binding of HDL through its extracellular domain and transferring cholesteryl ester from HDL into cells. The importance of extracellular domain of SR-BI in cholesteryl ester uptake has been explored by the use of chimeric receptors (28), by insertion of epitope tags into various regions of the domain of SR-BI (29), by blocking antibody against the extracellular domain, and by mutations (30, 31). However, SR-BI has a large extracellular domain that contains 403 amino acid residues, and the HDL binding site remains to be determined. Identifying the HDL binding site and understanding the regulation of SR-BI-mediated cholesterol transport may provide a target for promoting plasma cholesterol clearance and for the intervention of inflammatory disease, such as atherosclerosis and sepsis.

We previously identified C323 of SR-BI as a highly conserved site in SR-BI. Single site mutation at C323 completely abolishes SR-BI-induced apoptosis (24) and its protection against nitric oxide-induced oxidative cell damage (25), indicating that the C323 is critical for its functions. Interestingly, our study also showed that the mutation at C323 does not affect the ability of SR-BI to suppress LPS-induced inflammatory response in macrophages (27). These studies indicate that SR-BI is a multifunctional molecule, and C323 may play different roles in modulating the functions of SR-BI. In this study, we demonstrated that C323 is involved in HDL binding and required for SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Materials

Anti-SR-BI serum was custom made by Sigma-Genosys using a 15-amino-acid peptide derived from the C-terminal of human SR-BI. Blocking antibody against C323 region was generated by Sigma-Genosys using a 15-amino-acid peptide PNEGFCPCLESGIQN conjugated to KLH. The blocking antibody and nonimmune serum were affinity purified with a protein A column. Enzymatic deglycosylation kit was from Calbiochem. Cell surface protein isolation kit was from Pierce Biotechnology. Serum total and free cholesterol quantification kits were from Wako.

Generation of transgenic mice

SR-BI and SR-BIC323G transgenic mice were generated as previously described (27). To exclude the effect of endogenous SR-BI, the transgenic mice were crossed to SR-BI^−/− mice (in C57BL/6×129 background) to generate transgenic and nontransgenic littermates in SR-BI^−/− background. The breeders were fed with 0.2% Probucol to correct female infertility. Transgenic mice were genotyped by PCR using tail DNA. The animals were fed with standard laboratory chow diet and used at ages 12 to 15 weeks. Animal care and experiments were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the University of Kentucky.

CHO cell lines expressing mutant SR-BI

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines stably expressing vector, wild-type, and C323G SR-BI were generated as previously described (20). CHO cells stably expressing C251G, C280G, C321G, G327A, C334G, and C384G were generated using the same method. The cells were cultured in Ham's F-12 medium containing 5% FBS, 2 mmol/l L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 µg/ml streptomycin, and 0.5 mg/ml G418.

Isolation of caveolae

Caveolae, cytosol, and internal membranes were isolated using Opti-Prep method as described previously (7, 8). This method generates a highly purified fraction of caveolae that is enriched in caveolin-1 and free of bulk plasma membrane markers.

Preparation of [125I]apolipoprotein- and [3H]cholesteryl oleoyl ether-labeled HDL

Human HDL was isolated from normolipidemic subjects by sequential ultracentrifugation as described previously (32). The HDL was iodinated with ¹²⁵I (GE Healthcare), and HDL-associated cholesteryl ester was traced with nonhydrolyzable [³H] cholesteryl oleoyl ether (COE; GE Healthcare) as described previously (33, 34).

HDL binding and selective uptake assays

The binding and uptake assay were performed as previously described (33, 34). Briefly, the cells were cultured in a 12-well dish to 95% confluency in Ham's F-12 medium containing 5% FBS. The cells were rinsed three times with PBS and incubated in Ham's F12 containing 5% human lipoprotein-deficient serum (binding buffer) at 37°C for 2 h. Then, [³H]COE-[¹²⁵I]HDL was added at 10 µg/ml for the indicated times. After washing with cold PBS, the cells were lysed in 0.5 N NaOH. The ¹²⁵I in the cell lysate (representing cell-associated HDL) were counted with a γ-counter. [³H]COE was extracted from the cell lysate by Dole reagent and counted with a scintillation counter. The degradation of HDL was less than 10% when tested by TCA precipitation method. The [¹²⁵I]HDL associated with cells was subtracted from the COE measured as extractable ³H radioactivity (expressed as HDL equivalents) to give the selective uptake of cholesterol. The data are from three independent experiments with triplicate measurements in each experiment.

Cholesterol efflux assay

Cells were incubated for 48 h with 0.2 µCi/ml [³H]cholesterol. Cholesterol efflux was determined after incubating cells with 40 µg/ml HDL as the acceptor for the indicated times at 37°C. Results are expressed as a ratio of the radioactivity released in the culture media to the total radioactivity in media and cells. The data are from three independent experiments with triplicate measurements in each experiment.

Western blot

Cells were lysed in lysis buffer consisting of 25 mmol/l 2-(N-morpholino) ethane sulfonic acid (MES), 137 mmol/l NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 60 mmol/l octyl glucoside, 0.1% SDS, and 1% proteinase inhibitor cocktail (Sigma), pH 6.4, and analyzed by Western blot as previously described (20, 35).

Cell surface protein isolation

Cell surface proteins were isolated with the cell surface protein isolation kit following the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, cells were cultured to 90% confluency and labeled with biotin. The cell lysate was applied to an avidin affinity column. The nonbiotin-labeled proteins passed through the column and were collected as nonbiotin-labeled fraction; biotin-labeled proteins (cell surface proteins) were eluted with a buffer containing DTT and collected as biotin-labeled fraction. Cell lysate (10 µg of protein, one fraction), nonlabeled (two fractions), and biotin-labeled (two fractions) fractions were analyzed by Western blot.

Deglycosylation

Cell lysates were deglycosylated by using the enzymatic deglycosylation kit following the manufacturer's instructions. After deglycosylation, samples were analyzed by Western blot.

Lipoprotein profiling by FPLC

Serum (50 µl) was resolved by gel filtration chromatography with FPLC equipped with a Superose 6 column (Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology, Inc.). The column was eluted at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min, and 0.5 ml/fraction was collected. One hundred microliters of sample was mixed with 100 µl of 2× assay reagent to determine the cholesterol content of fractions (Wako Chemicals).

Statistical analysis

Significance in experiments comparing two groups was determined by 2-tailed Student t-test. Significance in experiments comparing more than two groups was evaluated by one way ANOVA, followed by post hoc analysis using Tukey's test. Values are reported as the mean ± SD. A value of P < 0.05 was considered significant.

RESULTS

SR-BIC323G was located in caveolae on plasma membrane

The CHO cell system has been widely used to study the functions of SR-BI, including SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake. Thus, we employed CHO-SR-BIC323G cells to determine the importance of C323 in HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake. We first verified membrane targeting of C323G mutant SR-BI with biotin labeling assay. About 40% of SR-BIC323G appeared in cell surface fraction, and 60% of SR-BIC323G appeared in nonlabeled fraction, which is similar to wild-type SR-BI (Fig. 1A).

Fig. 1. — Subcellular location of C323G mutant SR-BI. A: Detection of cell surface SR-BI expression by biotin labeling assay. CHO cells expressing vector, wild-type, or C323G mutant SR-BI were labeled with biotin. Biotinylated proteins were isolated with an avidin affinity column and analyzed by Western blot. B: Deglycosylation of wild-type and C323G mutant SR-BI. The CHO cells were lysed, treated with a mixture of enzymes to remove saccharide from protein, and then analyzed by Western blot. C: Subcellular targeting of SR-BI. Subcellular fractions were isolated from the CHO cells and analyzed by Western blot. Postnuclear supernatant (PNS), cytosol (CYT), intracellular membrane (IM), plasma membrane (PM), and caveolae membrane (CM) fractions.

We observed a higher molecular weight (100 kDa) band in the lysate of CHO-SR-BIC323G cells, and this higher molecular weight (105 kDa) band appeared in the biotin-labeled fractions from wild-type and C323G mutant SR-BI. We speculated that this higher molecular weight SR-BI band is highly glycosylated SR-BI. To test it, we treated the cell lysate with deglycosylation enzymes, including N-glycosidase, F exoglycosidases, and endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase, which remove all N-linked and O-inked oligosaccharides from protein. As shown in Fig. 1B, both CHO-SR-BIC323G and CHO-SR-BI displayed a 56 kDa band upon deglycosylation, which corresponds to the size of nonglycosylated SR-BI, indicating that the 100 kDa band is highly glycosylated SR-BI. Of note, the 75 kDa band that appeared in the deglycosylated sample was considered a nonspecific band because the CHO vector also displayed such a band (Fig. 1B).

SR-BI has been shown to locate in caveolae. We verified its caveola targeting with Opti-prep analysis using caveolin-1 as a marker of caveola. Opti-prep analysis showed that C323G mutant SR-BI is colocalized with caveolin-1, indicating that SR-BIC323G is located in caveolae on plasma membrane (Fig. 1C).

C323 was required for SR-BI-mediated HDL binding, cholesteryl ester uptake, and cholesterol efflux

We conducted HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake assays using CHO-SR-BIC323G cells. In contrast to wild-type SR-BI, which binds HDL and significantly promotes cholesteryl ester uptake, the C323G mutant lost most SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake, similar to the levels of CHO vector cells, indicating C323 is required for HDL binding and SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake (Fig. 2A, B).

[³H]COE/[¹²⁵I] double-labeled HDL₃ (10 µg/ml) were incubated with CHO-vector, CHO-SR-BI, or CHO-C323G cells at 37°C for the indicated times, and then the HDL binding (A) and selective cholesteryl ester uptake (B) were determined. C: SR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux. The CHO cells were prelabeled with [³H]cholesterol for 48 h. Cholesterol efflux was determined after incubating cells with 40 µg/ml HDL as the acceptor for the indicated times at 37°C. Results are expressed as a ratio of the radioactivity released in the culture media to the total radioactivity in media and cells. *P < 0.05 versus CHO-SR-BI cells.

In addition to mediating cholesteryl ester uptake from HDL, SR-BI has the ability to stimulate the release of free cholesterol from cells (36). To determine whether C323G alters SR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux, CHO-SR-BIC323G cells were assayed for their ability to promote efflux of cholesterol to HDL. Compared with CHO-SR-BI cells, CHO-SR-BIC323G cells displayed significantly reduced levels of cholesterol efflux to HDL, similar to the levels of CHO vector cells (Fig. 2C). The data indicate that C323 is also required for SR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux.

To determine whether C323 is directly involved in HDL binding, we generated a blocking antibody using a 15-amino-acid peptide flanking C323. The blocking antibody abolished SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 3A, B). The blocking antibody worked as efficiently as unlabeled HDL did. These data suggest that C323 is likely an HDL binding site.

Fig. 3. — C323 of SR-BI is required for HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake. A blocking antibody against the C323 region and nonimmune IgGs or nonlabeled HDL were added to CHO-SR-BI cells 30 min prior to adding 10 µg/ml of [³H]COE/[¹²⁵I] double-labeled HDL. The HDL binding (A) and selective cholesteryl ester uptake (B) were determined. ^a,b,cP < 0.05, data labeled with different letters are considered statistically different.

C323 of SR-BI was required for regulating plasma cholesterol levels in mice

To determine the role of C323 in vivo, we generated transgenic mice expressing wild-type and C323G mutant SR-BI (Fig. 4A). To exclude the effect of endogenous SR-BI, we used transgenic mice in SR-BI^−/− background. When assessed by Western blot, the wild-type SR-BI expressed as a single band at 75 kDa, and C323G mutant SR-BI expressed as two bands at 75 kDa and 100 kDa in the liver (Fig. 4B). As we expected, transgenic expression of wild-type SR-BI in SR-BI^−/−SR-BIwt-tg mice significantly reduced the total and free cholesterol levels compared with SR-BI^−/−non-tg littermates (Fig. 4C). However, transgenic expression of C323G mutant SR-BI in SR-BI^−/−SR-BIC323G-tg mice had no significant effect on the total or free cholesterol levels compared with SR-BI^−/−non-tg littermates (Fig. 4C, D). These data indicated that C323 of SR-BI is required for regulating plasma cholesterol levels in mice. Mice deficient in SR-BI have abnormally large HDL particles. We compared the size of HDL particles between SR-BI^−/−SR-BIC323G-tg mice and SR-BI^−/−SR-BI-wt-tg mice with FPLC. As shown in Fig. 4E, expression of wild-type SR-BI reduced the size of HDL particles but expression of C323G mutant had no such effect.

Changes in redox status regulated SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake

The redox regulatory nature of cysteine suggests that a change in redox status may modulate SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake. To test this hypothesis, we conducted HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake assays in the presence of redox reagents. The H₂O₂ treatment markedly enhanced SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake by 65%, and GSH treatment markedly downregulated SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake by 45% (Fig. 5AndashD). Similar downregulation of SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake was observed with DTT treatment (Fig. 5E, F). These data indicated that an oxidative status promotes SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake, whereas a reductive status suppresses SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake. Note that the extracellular compartment is an oxidative environment and that H₂O₂ is one of the major oxidants in the extracellular compartment, which presents as high as submillimole per liter levels (37). Our data suggest that physiological relevant levels of H₂O₂ can promote SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake.

Fig. 5. — Changes in redox status modulate SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and selective uptake activity. [³H]COE/[¹²⁵I] double-labeled HDL (10 µg/ml) were incubated with CHO-SR-BI cells in the presence of H₂O₂, GSH, or DTT, and the effects of H₂O₂ (A, B), GSH (C, D), and DTT (E, F) on HDL binding and CE selective uptake were determined. *P < 0.05 versus CHO-SR-BI cells without redox reagent treatment.

DISCUSSION

The importance of extracellular domain of SR-BI in cholesteryl ester uptake has been explored by the use of chimeric receptors (28), by insertion of epitope tags into various regions of the domain of SR-BI (29), by blocking antibody against the extracellular domain, and by mutations (30, 31). However, the HDL binding site and the factors that regulate SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake remain to be identified. In this study, using C323G mutant SR-BI, we demonstrated that the highly conserved C323 is required for SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake. Using a blocking antibody against C323 region, we showed that C323 is involved in HDL binding and that it is likely an HDL binding site. Using transgenic mouse models, we further demonstrated that C323 of SR-BI is required for regulating plasma cholesterol levels in vivo.

A potential problem with the point mutation approach is that a single site mutation may disrupt the conformation of a protein, resulting in loss of function. The following evidence suggests that it may not be the case for SR-BIC323G mutant: i) our early study showed that SR-BIC323G mutant still had full activity of suppressing LPS-induced inflammatory response in macrophages (27), and ii) the blocking antibody effectively suppressed HDL binding to CHO-SR-BI cells, suggesting that C323 of SR-BI is likely an HDL binding site directly involved in SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake.

SR-BIC323G mutant is highly glycosylated, which may affect its HDL binding and cholesterol ester uptake activity. To determine whether the extra glycosylation affects the activity of SR-BI, we generated CHO cells stably expressing cysteine mutants, including C251G, C280G, C321G, C334G, and C384G (supplementary Fig. I-A). Among these mutants, CHO-SR-BIC321G, CHO-SR-BIC334G, and CHO-SR-BIC384G cells displayed the highly glycosylated SR-BI as CHO-SR-BIC323G cells did (supplementary Fig. I-A, B). However, both CHO-SR-BIC321G and CHO-SR-BIC384G cells had almost full HDL binding and cholesterol ester uptake (supplementary Fig. I-D, E), indicating that extra glycosylation of SR-BI does not affect HDL binding and cholesterol ester uptake.

Different from a reducing environment in the intracellular compartment, the extracellular compartment is highly oxidative (37). Cysteinyl residues in the extracellular compartment can undergo a variety of oxidative modifications. For example, the cysteinyl residues of many proteins participate in reversible oxidation reactions leading to the formation of disulfides (-S-S-), thiolates (-S-), thiyl radicals (-S·) et al., as well as irreversible oxidation reactions leading to formation of sulfinic acid (-SO₂H) and sulfonic acid (-SO₃H). In addition, protein thiols can react to form mixed disulfides between proteins, with extracellular GSH (S-glutathiolation), or with other small thiols, or to form S-nitrosthiol derivatives (RSNO). Given the critical role of cysteinyl residues in SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl uptake and the redox regulatory nature of cysteine, we speculated that changes in redox status modulate SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake. To test this, we conducted HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake assays in the presence of redox reagents. We found that H₂O₂ upregulated the SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake by 65%, whereas GSH or DTT significantly downregulated SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake by 45%. Of note, the extracellular compartment is highly oxidative (37). The extracellular compartment contains high levels (up to submilimole per liter) of H₂O₂ (38). Our data indicate that physiological relevant levels of H₂O₂ markedly enhance SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake. To understand how redox reagents regulate SR-BI-mediated cholesterol uptake, we treated the CHO-SR-BI cells with redox regents, isolated subcellular fractions with Opti-Prep method, and assessed the effect of redox reagents on SR-BI subcellular distribution. As shown in supplementary Fig. II, treatment of CHO-SR-BI cells with 1 µM DTT moderately increased SR-BI caveolae distribution, and treatment of CHO-SR-BI cells with 1 µM H2O2 slightly decreased SR-BI caveolae distribution (based on CM/PNS ratio). It seems that the changes in SR-BI caveolae distribution may not account for the changes induced by redox reagents.

Note that H₂O₂, DTT, and GSH are mild redox reagents that modify cysteinyl residue in a revisable manner. So, technically, we cannot treat the cells or HDL with the redox regents first, remove the reagents, and then perform HDL binding/cholesterol uptake assay. Therefore, the current approach could not distinguish whether the effect is actually on SR-BI or HDL. Nevertheless, we could get an idea that changes in redox status may regulate SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake. Further study is warranted to determine redox regulation of SR-BI-mediated cholesterol transport and how an increase in oxidative status, such as in case of hypercholesterolemia, alters SR-BI-mediated cholesterol transport in vivo.

In summary, this study demonstrated that C323 is required for SR-BI-mediated HDL binding/cholesteryl ester uptake and for regulating plasma cholesterol levels in vivo and that change in redox status might be a regulatory factor that modulates SR-BI-mediated cholesterol transport.
