25-Hydroxycholesterol-induced elevations in 45Ca uptake: permeability changes in P815 cells.

G A Boissonneault, H J Heiniger

    Journal of Cellular Physiology
    |December 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Certain oxysterols, like 25-hydroxycholesterol, increase intracellular calcium uptake in P815 cells. This calcium influx is linked to mitochondrial uptake and membrane changes, not just HMG CoA reductase inhibition.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Membrane Biology

    Background:

    • Oxysterols can inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase.
    • Previous studies showed 25-hydroxycholesterol treatment causes rapid 45Ca influx in P815 cells, preventable by cholesterol.
    • The mechanism of this calcium influx requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the mechanism by which 25-hydroxycholesterol induces calcium influx into P815 cells.
    • To differentiate the effects of membrane-inserting oxysterols from HMG CoA reductase inhibitors on calcium uptake.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized respiratory inhibitors to assess mitochondrial calcium retention.
    • Tested various calcium uptake inhibitors (verapamil, diltiazem, quinidine, ruthenium red, Co++, Mn++).

  • Compared the effects of 25-hydroxycholesterol and mevinolin on sterol synthesis and 45Ca uptake.

    • Main Results:

    • 25-hydroxycholesterol-induced calcium uptake increase is primarily related to mitochondrial uptake.
    • Ruthenium red and Co++ were the only inhibitors affecting 45Ca uptake.
    • While both 25-hydroxycholesterol and mevinolin suppressed sterol synthesis, only 25-hydroxycholesterol significantly increased 45Ca influx.

    Conclusions:

    • 25-hydroxycholesterol's ability to increase intracellular calcium is linked to its membrane-inserting properties and subsequent mitochondrial uptake.
    • The mechanism is distinct from the HMG CoA reductase inhibition pathway targeted by mevinolin.
    • Findings suggest oxysterol-induced membrane changes play a critical role in regulating cellular calcium homeostasis.
