Description

Cholesterol and Sphingolipid transport/ Influx to the early endosome in lung (normal and CF)

Lung cells absorb Cholesterol preferentially as Cholesteryl ester bound to lipoprotein particles such as Intermediate density lipoproteins ( IDL ) and Low density lipoproteins ( LDL ) [1]. These lipoproteins are recognized by corresponding low density lipoprotein receptor ( LDLR ) [2], [1], [3], [4]. LDLR is internalized into clathrin-coated pits and transported to sorting endosomes. Disabled homolog 2 ( Dab2 ) protein mediates internalization of Low density lipoprotein receptor ( LDLR ) independently of LDL receptor adaptor protein 1 ( ARH ) and the Adaptor-related protein complex 2 ( AP-2 ). If Dab2 is absent, ARH can mediate LDLR endocytosis. This mediation requires AP complex 2 [5], [6].

Sphingolipid -containing membranes are internalized via the caveolae-raft or clathrin-dependent pathways that involve Caveolin-1 [7].

Further lipid sorting from early endosomes to sorting endosomes is mediated by members of the RAS oncogene family Rab-5A and Rab-4 in clathrin vesicles formed from pits. Rab-5 -independent sorting also occurs in caveolae endosomes [8].
