Regulation of bile acid synthesis, a key determinant of cholesterol homeostasis, is still incompletely understood. To elucidate the feedback control exerted on bile acid biosynthesis in humans with obstructive cholestasis, 16 patients with bile duct obstruction were studied. In vivo 7α-hydroxylation, reflecting bile acid synthesis, was assayed in 13 of them by tritium release analysis. Serum 27-hydroxycholesterol was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In a subgroup, hepatic cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase mRNA was assayed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme activity was determined by isotope incorporation, and microsomal cholesterol content was assayed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Age-matched control subjects were studied in parallel. Hydroxylation rates were lower in cholestatic patients (108 ± 33 mg of cholesterol per day, mean ± SEM; controls: 297 ± 40 mg/d; P < .01). The reduction was proportional to the severity of cholestasis, and synthetic rates were normalized in 4 subjects restudied after resolution of biliary obstruction. Consistent findings were obtained by analysis of serum 7α-hydroxycholesterol levels. On the other hand, hepatic cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase mRNA, microsomal enzyme activity, and cholesterol content tended to be increased in cholestasis. Finally, serum 27-hydroxycholesterol levels were slightly reduced in cholestatic subjects and were not related with the severity of the disease. Suppression of in vivo bile acid synthesis with no corresponding reduction in tissue 7α-hydroxylase expression and activity is consistent with nontranscriptional, posttranslational levels of regulation; these may play a role in the feedback control of bile acid synthesis in particular conditions. Alteration of the alternate biosynthetic pathway seems unlikely according to the present data. (HEPATOLOGY 2001;34:234-242.)
