High density lipoproteins, but not other lipoproteins, provide a vehicle for sterol transport to bile.

RESUMO
Unesterified cholesterol (UC) that is taken up by the liver from lipoproteins is rapidly mixed by exchange with liver UC. Thus, it is not possible to quantitate the transport of UC from different lipoproteins into bile using radiolabeled UC. However, plant sterols do not exchange with UC and are secreted in bile with the same kinetics as UC. To compare the contribution to bile of sterols from different lipoproteins, we perfused isolated rat livers with VLDL, LDL, and HDL that were obtained from patients with hereditary phytosterolemia and were rich in plant sterols. After 30-min recirculating perfusions, hepatic concentrations of plant sterols were not different after different lipoproteins were perfused. However, biliary plant sterol secretion was markedly different: with the perfusion of either VLDL or LDL there was no increase in plant sterols in bile, but with perfusion of HDL, the secretion of plant sterols was increased two- to threefold (P = 0.0005). The increase in biliary plant sterols was detected 5-10 min after HDL was added to perfusates and was similarly large for each of three individual plant sterols that was tracked. Results show that when sterol transport from lipoproteins into bile can be determined, only HDL provides a vehicle for UC elimination in bile that is consistent with its putative function in reverse cholesterol transport.
