The current model for reverse cholesterol transport proposes that HDL transports excess cholesterol derived primarily from peripheral cells to the liver for removal. However, recent studies in ABCA1 transgenic mice suggest that the liver itself may be a major source of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C). To directly investigate the hepatic contribution to plasma HDL-C levels, we generated an adenovirus (rABCA1-GFP-AdV) that targets expression of mouse ABCA1-GF'P in vivo to the liver. Compared with mice injected with control AdV, infusion of rABCA1-GFP-AdV into C57B1/6 mice resulted in increased expression of mouse ABCA1 mRNA and protein in the liver. ApoA-I-dependent cholesterol efflux was increased 2.6-fold in primary hepatocytes isolated I day after rABCA1-GFP-AdV infusion. Hepatic ABCAI expression in C57B1/6 mice (n = 15) raised baseline levels of TC, PL, FC, HDL-C, apoE, and apoA-I by 150-300% (P < 0.05 all). ABCA1 expression led to significant compensatory changes in expression of genes that increase hepatic cholesterol, including HMG-CoA reductase (3.5-fold), LDLr (2.1-fold), and LRP (5-fold) in the liver. These combined results demonstrate that ABCA1 plays a key role in hepatic cholesterol efflux, inducing pathways that modulate cholesterol homeostasis in the liver, and establish the liver as a major source of plasma HDI-C.
