Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) control the transcription of genes involved in lipid metabolism. Activation of PPARdelta may have antiatherogenic effects through the increase of plasma HDL, theoretically promoting reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral tissues toward the liver for removal via bile and feces. Effects of PPARdelta activation by GW610742 were evaluated i...
Tissue-specific expression of transporters is tightly linked with their physiological functions through the regulation of the membrane transport of their substrates. We hypothesized that epigenetic regulation underlies the tissue-specific expression of mouse liver-specific transporters (Oatp1b2/Slco1b2, Ntcp/Slc10a1, Bsep/Abcb11, and Abcg5/g8). We examined their DNA methylation and histone modi...
Mammalian cells have developed various responses to minimize accumulation of unesterified cholesterol, as the latter can result in cell toxicity and death [reviewed in this edition by Björkhem (Björkhem, I. 2009. Are side-chain oxidized oxysterols regulators also in vivo? J. Lipid Res. In press)]. These responses include esterification to sequester excess sterol in intracellular lipid droplets,...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) is a nuclear receptor that regulates fatty acid transport and metabolism. Previous studies revealed that PPARα can affect bile acid metabolism; however, the mechanism by which PPARα regulates bile acid homeostasis is not understood. In this study, an ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization qua dru pole time...
SCOPE Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) promotes obesity and metabolic disturbances in offspring at weaning and adult life. We investigated metabolic consequences of maternal HFD in adolescent rat offspring and the potential benefic effects of fish oil (FO) (n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid source). METHODS AND RESULTS Female rats received isocaloric, standard diet (STD: 9% fat) or HFD (28.6%) befor...
Sitosterolemia is a rare, autosomal recessively inherited disorder of lipid metabolism caused by mutations in the "ATP-binding cassette, subfamily G" member 5 and 8 proteins (encoded by the ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes, respectively), which play critical roles in the intestinal and biliary excretion of plant sterols. We report the clinical features and treatment outcomes of an 18-month-old Japanese gi...
OBJECTIVE Characterization of cholesterol homeostasis in male mice with a genetic inactivation of 3beta-hydroxysteroid-delta24-reductase, causing replacement of almost all cholesterol with desmosterol. METHODS AND RESULTS There was an increase in hepatic sterol synthesis and markedly increased fecal loss of neutral sterols. Fecal excretion of bile acids was similar in knockout mice and in con...
We have previously observed that knockout of Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1), a cholesterol transporter essential for intestinal cholesterol absorption, reduces the output of dry stool in mice. As the food intake remains unaltered in NPC1L1-knockout (L1-KO) mice, we hypothesized that NPC1L1 deficiency may alter the gut microbiome to reduce stool output. Consistently, here we demonstrate that th...
OBJECTIVE To determine whether long-term exposure to moderate elevations in plasma plant sterol levels increases risk for atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS In Old Order Amish participants aged 18 to 85 years, with (n=110) and without (n=181) 1 copy of the ABCG8 G574R variant, we compared mean plasma levels of plant sterols and cholesterol precursors and carotid intima-media wall thickness....
Human bile salt export pump (BSEP) mutations underlie progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2). In the PFIC2 animal model, Bsep(-/-) mice, biliary secretion of bile salts (BS) is decreased, but that of phospholipids (PL) and cholesterol (CH) is increased. Under physiological conditions, the biliary secretion of PL and CH is positively related ("coupled") to that of BS. We ai...
