Genetic differences of lipid metabolism in macrophages from C57BL/6J and C3H/HeN mice.

Cholesterol metabolism in macrophages from atherosclerosis-prone C57BL/6J mice was compared with that in macrophages from atherosclerosis-resistant C3H/HeN mice. Plasma total cholesterol levels of both types of mice were significantly increased, but HDL cholesterol level was increased only in C3H/HeN mice when a high-cholesterol diet (1% cholesterol) was fed for 5 weeks. After incubation of macrophages from male and female mice on the high-cholesterol diet with beta-VLDL for 24 hours, cholesterol content in macrophages from C57BL/6J was approximately 1.5- to 2.0-fold higher than in those from C3H/HeN mice. [3H]Cholesterol oleate-beta-VLDL incorporation into macrophages from C57BL/6J mice on the high-cholesterol diet was greater than incorporation into those from C3H/HeN mice. The release of [3H]cholesterol from macrophages from C57BL/6J mice on the high-cholesterol diet was one seventh that from macrophages from C57BL/6J mice on the basal diet or that from macrophages from C3H/HeN mice on the basal or high-cholesterol diet. Acid cholesterol esterase activity was almost the same in macrophages from any group. Acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase activity in macrophages from C57BL/6J mice on the high-cholesterol diet increased compared with that from macrophages from C57BL/6J mice on the normal diet. Neutral cholesterol esterase activity in macrophages from C57BL/6J mice was about half of that in macrophages from C3H/HeN mice independent of the type of diet. There were no sex differences in these metabolisms. Considered with our previous data, these results suggested that a high-cholesterol diet may cause metabolic changes to accumulate cholesterol ester in macrophages from C57BL/6J mice in accordance with genetic abnormalities.
