Deficiency of ABCA1 impairs apolipoprotein E metabolism in brain.
ABCA1 is a cholesterol transporter that is widely expressed throughout the body. Outside the central nervous system (CNS), ABCA1 functions in the biogenesis of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), where it mediates the efflux of cholesterol and phospholipids to apolipoprotein (apo) A-I. Deficiency of ABCA1 results in lack of circulating HDL and greatly reduced levels of apoA-I. ABCA1 is also express...
متن کاملAbnormal low density lipoprotein metabolism in apolipoprotein E deficiency.
Apolipoprotein(apo) E deficiency is an inherited disease characterized by type III hyperlipoproteinemia and less than 1% normal plasma apoE concentration. The role of apoE in LDL metabolism was investigated by quantitating the metabolism of radiolabeled normal and apoE-deficient LDL in both normal and apoE-deficient subjects. ApoE deficiency resulted in an accumulation of plasma IDL, and a decr...
متن کاملDynamics of apolipoprotein E metabolism in humans.
The dynamics of human apoE metabolism were explored by examining the effects of alimentary lipemia and postheparin lipolysis on the plasma level and lipoprotein distribution of apoE. In the studies of alimentary lipemia, fasting and postprandial plasma samples were obtained from five normal adult males, each of whom drank 100 g of corn oil. Although no change in the plasma concentration of apoE...
متن کاملHuman apolipoprotein E ɛ4 expression impairs cerebral vascularization and blood-brain barrier function in mice.
Human apolipoprotein E (APOE) exists in three isoforms ɛ2, ɛ3, and ɛ4, of which APOE4 is the main genetic risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD). As cerebrovascular defects are associated with AD, we tested whether APOE genotype has an impact on the integrity and function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in human APOE-targeted replacement mice. Using the quantitative in situ brain perfusion te...
متن کاملAcrolein Impairs ABCA1-dependent Cholesterol Export from Cells through Site- Specific Modification of Apolipoprotein A-I
Acrolein is a highly reactive α,βunsaturated aldehyde, but the factors that control its reactions with nucleophilic groups on proteins remain poorly understood. Lipid peroxidation and threonine oxidation by myeloperoxidase are potential sources of acrolein during inflammation. Because both pathways are implicated in atherogenesis and high density lipoprotein (HDL) is antiatherogenic, we investi...
