Revised Manuscript Received December 4, 1987 abstract: Administration of high-dose ethinylestradiol to rats decreases bile flow, Na, K-ATPase specific activity, and liver plasma membrane fluidity. By use of highly purified sinusoidal and bile canalicular membrane fractions, the effect of ethinylestradiol administration on the protein and lipid composition and fluidity of plasma membrane fractions was examined. In sinusoidal fractions, ethinylestradiol (EE) ad-ministration decreased Na, K-ATPase activity (32%) and increased activities of alkaline phosphatase (254%), Mg2+-ATPase (155%), and a 160-kDa polypeptide (10-fold). Steady-state and dynamic fluorescence polarization was used to study membrane lipid structure. Steady-state polarization of diphenylhexatriene (DPH) was significantly higher in canalicular compared to sinusoidal membrane fractions. Ethinylestradiol (5 mg/kg per day for 5 days) selectively increased sinusoidal polarization values. Similar changes were demonstrated with the probes 2-and 12-anthroyloxystearate. Time-resolved fluorescence polarization measurements indicatedthat EE administration for 5 days did notchange DPH lifetime but increased the order component (/„) and decreased the rotation rate (R). However, 1 and 3 days after EE administration and with low doses (10-100 Mg/kg per day for 5 days) the Na, K-ATPase, bile flow, and order component were altered, but the rotation rate was unchanged. Vesicles prepared from total sinusoidal membrane lipids of EE-treated rats, as well as phospholipid vesicles, demonstrated increased DPH polarization, as did intact plasma membrane fractions. Liver plasma membrane fractions showed no change in free cholesterol or cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio, while esterified cholesterol content was increased with high-dose but not low-dose ethinylestradiol. High-dose ethinylestradiol treatment produced minor changes in phospholipid polar head groups and fatty acids; however, neither the sphingomyelin/phosphatidylcholine ratio nor the percent of saturated fatty acids was altered. In summary, the sinusoidal liver plasma membrane order component was selectively increased with low-and high-dose ethinylestradiol treatment. This structural change is due to changes in polarrather than neutral lipid composition. These results indicate estrogens may selectively alter plasma membrane lipid and protein domains, and these changes may be integral to the pathogenesis of intrahepatic cholestasis..^^. dministration of 17a-ethinylestradiol (EE), 1 an estrogenic steroid commonly used in birth control pills, is associated with intrahepatic cholestasis in man and animals (Plaa & Priestly, 1977; Schreiber & Simon, 1983; Metreau & Dhumeaux, 1972). In rats, high doses of EE reduce bile flow and the liver’s maximum capacityto excrete organic anions such as bile salts, bilirubin, and bromosulfophthalein (Kaplowitz et al., 1986; Simon & Arias, 1973; Gumucio & Vadivieso, 1971). Previous studies, using both electron spin resonance and fluorescence polarization techniques, have reported that liver plasma membrane fluidity is reduced following EE administration (Davis et al., 1979; Keefe et al., 1979; Storch & Schachter, 1984). The lipid components responsible for thischange have been variously attributed to increases in cholesterol and/or cholesterol esters (Davis et al., 1979; Keefe et al., 1979; Simon et al., 1980). Examination of this model has focused attention on the liver surface membrane and, in particular, the canal-icular domain as the primary site of abnormalities in the pathogenesis of bile secretory failure (Simon & Arias, 1973). However, other observations suggest the sinusoidal …
