Regulation of ABCG1 expression in human keratinocytes and murine epidermis.
ABCG1, a member of the ATP binding cassette superfamily, facilitates the efflux of cholesterol from cells to HDL. In this study, we demonstrate that ABCG1 is expressed in cultured human keratinocytes and murine epidermis, and induced during keratinocyte differentiation, with increased levels in the outer epidermis. ABCG1 is regulated by liver X receptor (LXR) and peroxisome proliferator-activat...
متن کاملRegulation of ABCA1 expression in human keratinocytes and murine epidermis
Keratinocytes require abundant cholesterol for cutaneous permeability barrier function; hence, the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis is of great importance. ABCA1 is a membrane transporter responsible for cholesterol efflux and plays a pivotal role in regulating cellular cholesterol levels. We demonstrate that ABCA1 is expressed in cultured human keratinocytes (CHKs) and murine epidermis. L...
متن کاملThe expression and regulation of enzymes mediating the biosynthesis of triglycerides and phospholipids in keratinocytes/epidermis
Triglycerides and phospholipids play an important role in epidermal permability barrier formation and function. They are synthesized de novo in the epidermis via the glycerol-3-phosphate pathway, catalyzed sequentially by a group of enzymes that have multiple isoforms including glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT), 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (AGPAT), Lipin and diacylglyce...
متن کاملAnalysis of aquaporin 9 expression in human epidermis and cultured keratinocytes
Aquaporin 9 (AQP9) is a member of the aquaglyceroporin family that transports glycerol, urea and other small solutes as well as water. Compared to the expression and function in epidermal keratinocytes of AQP3, another aquaglyceroporin, our knowledge of epidermal AQP9 remains elusive. In this study, we investigated the expression of AQP9 in the human epidermis and cultured keratinocytes. Immuno...
متن کاملEpigenetic Regulation of Gene Expression in Keratinocytes
The nucleus is a complex and highly compartmentalized organelle, which undergoes major organization changes during cell differentiation, allowing cells to become specialized and fulfill their functions. During terminal differentiation of the epidermal keratinocytes, the nucleus undergoes a programmed transformation from active status, associated with execution of the genetic programs of cornifi...
