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 کاملThe role of ATP-binding cassette transporter A2 in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia multidrug resistance
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most prevalent hematologic malignancies in children. Although the cure rate of ALL has improved over the past decades, the most important reason for ALL treatment failure is multidrug resistance (MDR) phenomenon. The current study aims to explain the mechanisms involved in multidrug resistance of childhood ALL, and introduces ATP-binding cassette...
متن کاملA Novel Function of Apolipoprotein E: Upregulation of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 Expression
Despite the well known importance of apolipoprotein (Apo) E in cholesterol efflux, the effect of ApoE on the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) has never been investigated. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of ApoE on ApoB-carrying lipoprotein-induced expression of ABCA1, a protein that mediates cholesterol efflux. Our data demonstrate that ApoB-carr...
متن کاملEffects of pravastatin on the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1.
In vitro inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase causes the suppression of liver X receptor (LXR) activity. Because LXR regulates the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC) A1, which is involved in the high-density lipoprotein-related reverse cholesterol transport pathway, we examined the effects of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor pravastatin on ABCA...
متن کاملBilirubin Decreases Macrophage Cholesterol Efflux and ATP‐Binding Cassette Transporter A1 Protein Expression
BACKGROUND Mild but chronically elevated circulating unconjugated bilirubin is associated with reduced total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, which is associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk. We aimed to investigate whether unconjugated bilirubin influences macrophage cholesterol efflux, as a potential mechanism for the altered circulating lipoprotein concentra...
