Abstract—Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is a multiligand cell-surface receptor that plays a central role in high density lipoprotein homeostasis in rodents. To investigate a role for SR-BI in atherosclerosis, mice with attenuated SR-BI expression were crossed with low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor–deficient mice. Compound-homozygous mutants showed increased plasma cholesterol, surprisingly due primarily to increased LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels. LDL turnover studies showed that this resulted from increased LDL cholesterol production rather than decreased LDL catabolism. Atherosclerotic lesion size was significantly increased in male compound-mutant mice relative to LDL receptor–deficient controls (93 427±16 079 versus 34 448±5 331 µm2, respectively; P=0.003). The proatherogenic effect of attenuated SR-BI expression may in part be due to increased LDL cholesterol levels. These findings suggest that upregulation of the receptor could have therapeutic potential for the treatment of atherosclerosis.


Key Words: scavenger receptor BI • atherosclerosis • HDL • cholesterol • mouse
