Absence of the cholesterol transporter ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) results in increased islet cholesterol and impaired insulin secretion, indicating that impaired cholesterol efflux leads to beta cell dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to determine the role of the LDL receptor (LDLr) in islet cholesterol uptake and to assess the contributions of cholesterol uptake compared with efflux to islet cholesterol levels.MethodsIslet cholesterol and beta cell function were assessed in mice lacking LDLr (Ldlr(-/-)), or apolipoprotein E (Apoe(-/-)), as well as in mice with beta-cell-specific deficiency of Abca1 crossed to Ldlr(-/-) mice.ResultsHypercholesterolaemia resulted in increased islet cholesterol levels and decreased beta cell function in Apoe(-/-) mice but not in Ldlr(-/-) mice, suggesting that the LDL receptor is required for cholesterol uptake leading to cholesterol-induced beta cell dysfunction. Interestingly, when wild-type islets with functional LDL receptors were transplanted into diabetic, hypercholesterolaemic mice, islet graft function was normal compared with Ldlr(-/-) islets, suggesting that compensatory mechanisms can maintain islet cholesterol homeostasis in a hypercholesterolaemic environment. Indeed, transplanted wild-type islets had increased Abca1 expression. However, lack of the Ldlr did not protect Abca1(-/-) mice from islet cholesterol accumulation, suggesting that cholesterol efflux is the critical regulator of cholesterol levels in islets.Conclusions/interpretationOur data indicate that islet cholesterol levels and beta cell function are strongly influenced by LDLr-mediated uptake of cholesterol into beta cells. Cholesterol efflux mediated by ABCA1, however, can compensate in hypercholesterolaemia to regulate islet cholesterol levels in vivo."xsd:string |
