therosclerotic cardiovascular disease is one of the major causes of death in developed countries. Lipid accumulation, foam cell formation and inflammation are recognized as major features of atherosclerosis.1 Inflammatory cells, mainly macrophages and T cells, produce a wide range of inflammatory cytokines in atherosclerotic lesions, which contributes significantly to the progress of the diseas...
متن کاملATP-binding cassette transporter A1: regulation of cholesterol efflux.
The ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is involved in the regulation of cholesterol efflux from cells. Mutations in ABCA1 give rise to familial high-density lipoprotein (HDL) deficiency and Tangier disease, which is characterized by very low levels of HDL in plasma and cholesteryl ester accumulation in tonsils and other reticuloendothelial cells. The mechanism of action of ABCA1 is sti...
متن کاملATP-binding membrane cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1): a possible link between inflammation and reverse cholesterol transport.
Atherosclerosis is characterized by a chronic inflammatory condition that involves numerous cellular and molecular inflammatory components. A wide array of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and proteins produced by macrophages and other cells, play a critical role in the development and progression of the disease. ATP-binding membrane cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is crucial for cellu...
متن کاملMicroRNA-20a/b regulates cholesterol efflux through post-transcriptional repression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1.
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays a crucial role in reverse cholesterol transport and exhibits anti-atherosclerosis effects. Some microRNAs (miRs) regulate ABCA1 expression, and recent studies have shown that miR-20a/b might play a critical role in atherosclerotic diseases. Here, we attempted to clarify the potential contribution of miR-20a/b in post-transcriptional regulation o...
متن کاملATP-Binding cassette transporter A1 modulates apolipoprotein A-I transcytosis through aortic endothelial cells.
High-density lipoproteins and their major protein constituent apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) possess diverse atheroprotective properties. Most of them must be exerted within the arterial wall. Actually, high-density lipoproteins are the most abundant lipoproteins within the arterial intima. We have recently reported that apoA-I is transcytosed through aortic endothelial cells. In the present study...
