Effect of Pluronic L81, a hydrophobic surfactant, on intestinal mucosal cholesterol homeostasis

Department of Physiology, University of Tennessee, Memphis 38163.

Addition of triglyceride and phospholipid to sodium taurocholate when chylomicron output was blocked by L81 did not increase lymphatic total cholesterol output or mucosal unesterified (UC) content more than with sodium taurocholate alone, but mucosal esterified cholesterol (CE) was increased slightly. In these animals with defective chylomicron formation, excess cholesterol accumulated in the intestinal mucosa mainly as CE. The mucosal cholesterol content of animals with normal chylomicron transport expanded during cholesterol and triglyceride absorption, and the expansion led to increased lymphatic secretion of CE. These animals accumulated significantly less CE in their mucosa than did rats treated with L81, but had about the same amount of mucosal UC. However, the overall uptake of cholesterol from the lumen, as determined by either radioactivity or mass of cholesterol in mucosa and lymph, was significantly less in the L81 rats. Also, more radioactive cholesterol remained in the lumen of the L81-treated rats. Finally, the data on specific activities of free and esterified cholesterol showed that the mucosal cholesterol derived from the lumen does not mix evenly with the free cholesterol pool in the enterocytes and is preferentially esterified for export in lymph as triglyceride-rich lipoprotein.
