ATP-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 کاملPhytosterol-mediated inhibition of intestinal cholesterol absorption is independent of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1.
An increased activity of ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC) A1 has been proposed as a mechanism underlying the hypocholesterolaemic effect of phytosterols. In the present study, ABCA1-deficient mice (ABCA1-/- mice) were used to examine the involvement of the ABCA1 in the reduction of intestinal cholesterol absorption in response to a phytosterol-enriched diet. A decrease in intestinal chole...
متن کاملBis(monoacylglycero)phosphate accumulation in macrophages induces intracellular cholesterol redistribution, attenuates liver-X receptor/ATP-Binding cassette transporter A1/ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 pathway, and impairs cholesterol efflux.
OBJECTIVE Endosomal signature phospholipid bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) has been involved in the regulation of cellular cholesterol homeostasis. Accumulation of BMP is a hallmark of lipid storage disorders and was recently reported as a noticeable feature of oxidized low-density lipoprotein-laden macrophages. This study was designed to delineate the consequences of macrophage BMP accumul...
متن کاملRegulation and mechanisms of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1-mediated cellular cholesterol efflux.
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays a major role in cholesterol homeostasis and HDL metabolism. ABCA1 mediates cellular cholesterol and phospholipid efflux to lipid-poor apolipoproteins, and upregulation of ABCA1 activity is antiatherogenic. ApoA-I, the major apolipoprotein component of HDL, promotes ABCA1-mediated cholesterol and phospholipid efflux, probably by directly binding ...
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...
