Abstract
The scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1), a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor, is a membrane glycoprotein that mediates selective uptake of HDL-cholesterol and cholesterol ester (CE) into cells. SR-B1 is subject to posttranslational regulation; however, the underlying mechanisms still remain obscure. Here, we identified a novel SR-B1-interacting protein, GIPC1 (GAIP-interacting protein, C terminus 1) that interacts with SR-B1 and stabilizes SR-B1 by negative regulation of its proteasomal and lysosomal degradation pathways. The physiological interaction between SR-B1 and GIPC1 was supported by co-immunoprecipitation of wild-type and mutant GIPC1 constructs in SR-B1 ± GIPC1 overexpressing cells, in native liver cells, and in mouse liver tissues. Overexpression of GIPC1 increased endogenous SR-B1 protein levels, subsequently increasing selective HDL-cholesterol/CE uptake and cellular triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels, whereas silencing of GIPC1 in the mouse liver was associated with blunted hepatic SR-B1 levels, elevated plasma TG and TC, and attenuated hepatic TG and TC content. A positive correlation was identified between GIPC1 and SR-B1 expression, and both expressions of GIPC1 and SR-B1 from human liver samples were inversely correlated with body mass index (BMI) from human subjects. We therefore conclude that GIPC1 plays a key role in the stability and function of SR-B1 and can also effectively regulate hepatic lipid and cholesterol metabolism. These findings expand our knowledge of the regulatory roles of GIPC1 and suggest that GIPC1 exerts a major effect on cell surface receptors such as SR-B1 and its associated hepatic lipid and cholesterol metabolic processes.

Scavenger receptor class B, type 1 (SR-B1) is an integral membrane glycoprotein that functions as a receptor for lipoproteins such as high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (1Shen W.J.

SR-B1 preferentially mediates selective uptake of HDL (and other lipoprotein)-derived cholesterol, cholesteryl esters (CEs), and unesterified cholesterol (UC), and it has also been shown that it facilitates free fatty acid (FFA) uptake in both primary adipocytes and model adipocyte cell lines (3Wang W. Yan Z. Hu J. Shen W.J. Azhar S. Kraemer F.B. Scavenger receptor class B, type 1 facilitates cellular fatty acid uptake.Biochim. Biophys. Acta Mol. Cell Biol. Lipids. 2020; 1865: 158554Crossref PubMed Scopus (14) Google Scholar). SR-B1 plays an important role in the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), a process by which excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues is transferred to the liver for metabolism and excretion into the bile and provides cholesterol substrate to the steroidogenic cells of the adrenal gland, ovary, and testis for steroid hormone production (2Shen W.J.

Given this, it is not surprising that SR-B1 is expressed at high levels in the liver and steroidogenic cells of the adrenal gland and ovary and testis (1Shen W.J. Azhar S. Kraemer F.B.

Further studies demonstrated that SR-B1 participates in the uptake of several other molecules including vitamins, viruses (e.g., hepatitis C virus, dengue virus, SARS-CoV-2 [COVID-19]), plasmodium parasite, phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and identified as a receptor for silica with a potential role in silica-induced pulmonary inflammation in macrophage (4Shen W.J.

In both rodent and human steroidogenic tissues, the expression of steroidogenic SR-B1 is subject to transcriptional regulation by tissue-specific tropic hormones (e.g., adrenal, ACTH, ovary, LH/FSH, and Leydig cells of testis, LH) via several transcription factors such as SF-1, LXRα and LXRβ, Sp1, PPARα, SREBP-1a, LRH-1, ERα and ERβ, CREB and NR0B1/DAX-1 (1Shen W.J.

Our previous study demonstrated that DNA methylation status of SR-B1 promoter is also regulated by tropic hormone or its second messenger, cAMP, and participates in the regulation of SR-B1 expression in steroid-producing cells (14Hu Z.G.
