In cultured human fibroblasts, each LDL [low density lipoprotein] receptor mediates the internalization of .apprx. 100 particles of LDL every 20 h. Evidence is provided that the reutilization of LDL receptors involves the recycling of receptors into and out of the cell, and the carboxylic ionophore monensin blocks the return of the receptors to the surface. In the presence of monensin and LDL, 75% of the receptors disappeared from the cell surface within 15 min and > 90% disappeared within 60 min. The receptors that left the surface were trapped intracellularly within perinuclear vacuoles, as visualized by indirect immunofluorescence with the use of an antibody to the LDL receptor. In the absence of LDL, monensin caused .apprx. 50% of the receptors to be trapped intracellularly within 15 min. The receptors that remained on the surface after monensin treatment could be trapped within the cell if LDL was added subsequently in the continued presence of monensin. Monensin did not decrease surface LDL receptors in fibroblasts from a patient with the internalization-defective form of familial hypercholesterolemia. In these mutant cells, LDL receptors are not localized to coated pits. The current data are interpreted to indicate that: in normal fibroblasts .apprx. 50% of surface LDL receptors recycle continuously into and out of the cell in the absence of LDL; the remaining 50% of surface receptors can be induced to recycle by the presence of LDL; monensin interrupts this recycling by preventing the receptor from returning to the surface, causing the receptors to accumulate within the cell.
