Scavenger receptor BI (SR-EI) binds high density lipoproteins (HDL) with high affinity and mediates the selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl ester, We examined the potential role of SR-BI ill mediating cellular cholesterol efflux, In Chinese hamster ovary cells stably transfected with murine SR-BI, overexpression of SR-BI resulted in a 3-4-fold stimulation of initial cholesterol efflux rates. Efflux rates correlated with SB-BI expression in cells and HDL concentration in the medium. When incubated with synthetic cholesterol-free RDL, SR-BI-transfected cells showed similar to 3-fold increases in initial rates of efflux compared with control cells, indicating that SR-BI expression enhances net cholesterol efflux mediated by discoidal HDL. In six different cell types, including cultured macrophages, the rate of efflux of cholesterol mediated by RDL or serum was well correlated with cellular SR-BI expression level. In addition, in situ hybridization experiments revealed that SR-BI mRNA was expressed in the thickened intima of atheromatous aorta of apolipoprotein E knockout mice. Thus, SR-BI is an authentic HDL receptor mediating cellular cholesterol efflux, SR-BI may facilitate the initial steps of HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux in the arterial wall as well as later steps of reverse cholesterol transport involving uptake of HDL cholesterol in the liver.
