Cholesteryl ester transfer protein biosynthesis and cellular cholesterol homeostasis are tightly interconnected.
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates triglyceride and cholesteryl ester (CE) transfer between lipoproteins, and its activity is strongly modulated by dietary cholesterol. To better understand the regulation of CETP synthesis and the relationship between CETP levels and cellular lipid metabolism, we selected the SW872 adipocytic cell line as a model. These cells secrete CETP in a t...

متن کاملCholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibition: effect on reverse cholesterol transport?
Statins, inhibitors of the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol (ie, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl [HMG]coenzyme A [CoA] reductase), are widely used as the prevailing strategy to combat atherosclerosis through reducing LDL cholesterol levels. Large-scale clinical trials have shown that statins markedly reduce coronary events.1,2 A meta-analysis of 22 studies enrolling nearly 70 000 indivi...
متن کاملPlasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein.
The plasma lipoproteins are continuously remodeled during their transit through the plasma compartment, owing to the action of lipid metabolizing enzymes and lipid transfer processes. These activities have a major effect on the composition, size, and concentration of the lipoproteins. Lipid transfer processes involving neutral lipids and phospholipids are mediated by specialized plasma proteins...
متن کاملHuman liver cholesteryl ester hydrolase: cloning, molecular characterization, and role in cellular cholesterol homeostasis.
The liver regulates cholesterol homeostasis and eliminates excess cholesterol as bile acids or biliary cholesterol. Free cholesterol for bile acid synthesis or biliary secretion is obtained by the hydrolysis of stored cholesteryl esters or from cholesteryl esters taken up by the liver from high-density lipoproteins via a selective uptake pathway. The present study was undertaken to characterize...
