Receptor-mediated binding and metabolism of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in cultured human vascular smooth-muscle cells and skin fibroblasts are altered by increased cellular cyclic AMP concentrations. However, the LDL receptor does not respond to changes in cyclic AMP concentration in a simple manner. The activation of adenylate cyclase with forskolin, or the addition of membrane-permeant cyclic AMP analogues, initially decreases the expression of the LDL receptor, but is followed by a substantial increase in receptor expression after 24 h. This increase does not occur in the presence of inhibitors of RNA or protein synthesis, and is due to doubling of the Bmax. of the LDL receptor, without alteration of its affinity for LDL. By contrast, elevation of cyclic AMP concentration by inhibition of phosphodiesterases results in decreased receptor expression throughout the 24 h period. These two response patterns are reproducible phenomena, consistently observed in low-passaged cells derived from seven unrelated individuals.
