Polymorphisms in ABCG5 and ABCG8 transporters and plasma cholesterol levels.
ABCG5 and ABCG8 transporters play an important role in the absorption and excretion of sterols. Missence polymorphisms (Gln604Glu in the ABCG5 and Asp19His, Tyr54Cys, Thr400Lys, and Ala632Val in the ABCG8) in these genes have been described. In 131 males and 154 females whose dietary composition markedly changed and lipid parameters decreased over an 8-year follow-up study (total cholesterol de...
متن کاملRole of intestinal sterol transporters Abcg5, Abcg8, and Npc1l1 in cholesterol absorption in mice: gender and age effects.
Recent studies have indicated that intestinal cholesterol absorption is a multistep process, which is regulated by multiple genes at the enterocyte level. However, the molecular mechanisms whereby there are gender differences in intestinal cholesterol absorption efficiency and the efficiency of cholesterol absorption increases with age have not yet been fully understood. To explore whether agin...
متن کاملGenetic inactivation of NPC1L1 protects against sitosterolemia in mice lacking ABCG5/ABCG8.
Mice lacking Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) (NPC1L1(-/-)mice) exhibit a defect in intestinal absorption of cholesterol and phytosterols. However, wild-type (WT) mice do not efficiently absorb and accumulate phytosterols either. Cell-based studies show that NPC1L1 is a much weaker transporter for phytosterols than cholesterol. In this study, we examined the role of NPC1L1 in phytosterol and cho...
متن کاملStanol esters decrease plasma cholesterol independently of intestinal ABC sterol transporters and Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 protein gene expression.
Possible mechanisms for the cholesterol-lowering effects of plant stanol esters were addressed by feeding hamsters diets containing stanol esters, cholesterol, or cholestyramine/lovastatin. ABCA1, ATP binding cassette G1 (ABCG1), ABCG5, ABCG8, and Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) mRNA levels were then estimated in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Plasma cholesterol was decreased by 36% and 94% in a...
متن کاملBiliary cholesterol secretion by the twinned sterol half-transporters ABCG5 and ABCG8.
The long wait for a cellular and functional definition of canalicular transporters for biliary cholesterol appears to be over. Articles in this issue of the JCI provide a fascinating account of the cellular itinerary of two murine ATP-binding cassette (ABC) halftransporters from the ribosome to the hepatocyte apical membranes (1) and show that the corresponding human genes, when overexpressed i...
