Insight into ABCG1-mediated cholesterol efflux.
Macrophages in the arterial intima take up modified LDL and become cholesterol-ester laden foam cells, which are the primary cell type in newly formed fatty streak lesions, and which play an important role throughout lesion progression and plaque vulnerability. Macrophages can unload their excess cellular cholesterol stores via lipid efflux, the first step in the protective reverse cholesterol ...
متن کاملSphingomyelin-dependence of cholesterol efflux mediated by ABCG1.
ABCG1, one of the half-type ATP binding cassette (ABC) proteins, mediates the efflux of cholesterol to HDL and functions in the reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral cells to the liver. We have shown that ABCG1 mediates the efflux of not only cholesterol but also sphingomyelin (SM) and phosphatidylcholine. Because SM preferentially associates with cholesterol, we examined whether it pla...
متن کاملRAGE Suppresses ABCG1-Mediated Macrophage Cholesterol Efflux in Diabetes
Diabetes exacerbates cardiovascular disease, at least in part through suppression of macrophage cholesterol efflux and levels of the cholesterol transporters ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and ABCG1. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is highly expressed in human and murine diabetic atherosclerotic plaques, particularly in macrophages. We tested the hypothesis ...
متن کاملExtracellular lipid-free apolipoprotein E inhibits HCV replication and induces ABCG1-dependent cholesterol efflux
OBJECTIVE The HCV life cycle and the lipid metabolism are inextricably intertwined. In the blood, HCV virions are associated with lipoproteins, forming lipoviroparticles (LVPs), which are the most infectious form of the virus. Apolipoprotein E (apoE), a key LVP component, plays an essential role in HCV entry, assembly and egress. ApoE is also a cell host factor involved in lipoprotein homeostas...
متن کاملThe cholesterol transporter ABCG1 links cholesterol homeostasis and tumour immunity.
ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 (ABCG1) promotes cholesterol efflux from cells and regulates intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. Here we demonstrate a role of ABCG1 as a mediator of tumour immunity. Abcg1(-/-) mice have dramatically suppressed subcutaneous MB49-bladder carcinoma and B16-melanoma growth and prolonged survival. We show that reduced tumour growth in Abcg1(-/-) mice is myelo...
