Eur J Clin Invest 2010; 40 (6): 541–551AbstractBackgroundCholesterol gallstone disease is a complex genetic trait and induced by multiple but as yet unknown genes. A majorLithgene,Lith1was first identified on chromosome 2 in gallstone‐susceptible C57L mice compared with resistant AKR mice.Abcb11, encoding the canalicular bile salt export pump in the hepatocyte, co‐localizes with theLith1QTL region and its hepatic expression is significantly higher in C57L mice than in AKR mice.Material and methodsTo investigate whetherAbcb11influences cholesterol gallstone formation, we created anAbcb11transgenic strain on the AKR genetic background and fed these mice with a lithogenic diet for 56 days.ResultWe excluded functionally relevant polymorphisms of theAbcb11gene and its promoter region between C57L and AKR mice. Overexpression ofAbcb11significantly promoted biliary bile salt secretion and increased circulating bile salt pool size and bile salt‐dependent bile flow rate. However, biliary cholesterol and phospholipid secretion, as well as gallbladder size and contractility were comparable in transgenic and wild‐type mice. At 56 days on the lithogenic diet, cholesterol saturation indexes of gallbladder biles and gallstone prevalence rates were essentially similar in these two groups of mice.ConclusionOverexpression ofAbcb11augments biliary bile salt secretion, but does not affect cholelithogenesis in mice.
