Chlorogenic acid regulates the expression of NPC1L1 and HMGCR through PXR and SREBP2 signaling pathways and their interactions with HSP90 to maintain cholesterol homeostasis.
Phytomedicine 2023 December 10
BACKGROUND: Hypercholesterolemia is widely implicated in the etiology of coronary heart disease, stroke, and dementia. Evidence suggests that chlorogenic acid (CA) reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
PURPOSE: The current study aims to explore the underlying molecular mechanism of CA in lowering cholesterol based on pregnane X receptor (PXR) and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) regulatory pathways and their interactions with heat shock protein 90 (HSP90).
METHODS: A hypercholesterolemic mouse model, HepG2 and Caco2 cell models, metabolomics analysis, and co-immunoprecipitation (COIP) were used to study the mechanism of CA lowering cholesterol.
RESULTS: Treatment of the hypercholesterolemic mice with CA for 12 weeks significantly reduced body weight, blood lipid, hepatic lipid accumulation, and increased lipid excretion. The nuclear aggregation of PXR and SREBP2 was inhibited simultaneously. In addition, the expression of downstream target genes, including Niemann-pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) and 3‑hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), was downregulated after CA administration. Furthermore, in HepG2 and Caco2 cell models, CA reduced intracellular cholesterol levels by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of PXR and SREBP2 and the expression of NPC1L1 and HMGCR. SREBP2 interacts with PXR through HSP90, and CA reduces the binding stability of SREBP2 and HSP90 and enhances the binding of PXR and HSP90, thus reducing the nuclear accumulation of SREBP2 and PXR simultaneously. Moreover, CA promoted the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and its binding to SREBP2. This was not conducive to the binding of HSP90 and SREBP2 but enhanced the binding of HSP90 and PXR, thereby inhibiting the nuclear translocation of SREBP2 and PXR and reducing intracellular cholesterol levels. However, no noticeable direct binding between AMPK and PXR was observed.
CONCLUSION: CA downregulates NPC1L1 and HMGCR expression by acting on the AMPK/SREBP2 direct pathway and the AMPK/SREBP2/HSP90/PXR indirect pathway, thus retaining cholesterol homeostasis.
