Macrophages transfer cholesterol to lymphocytes in culture.
Macrophages have been recognized to present an intense cholesterol metabolism, recycling the entire plasma membrane once every 30 minutes [I] and having an enormous ability to produce and export cholesterol, this being modulated by prostaglandins [2, 31. On the other hand, lymphocytes treated with cholesterol have been shown enrichment in the amount of the sterol in plasma membrane, markedly su...
متن کاملSesamin enhances cholesterol efflux in RAW264.7 macrophages.
Foam cells formation as a result of the uncontrolled cytophagy of modified cholesterol by macrophages plays a key role in the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. Sesamin is an active constituent of Sesamum indicum which has been shown to possess multiple pharmacological activities. In this work, we investigated the effects of sesamin on foam cell formation and cholesterol efflux in R...

متن کاملMagnetic nanobeads: Synthesis and application in biomedicine
Nanobiotechnology appears to be an emerging science which leads to new developments in the field of medicine. Importance of the magnetic nanomaterials in biomedical science cannot be overlooked. The most commonly used chemical methods to synthesize drugable magnetic nanobeads are co-precipitation, thermal decomposition and microemulsion. However monodispersion, selection of an appropriate coati...
متن کاملVastatins inhibit cholesterol ester accumulation in human monocyte-derived macrophages.
Human monocyte-derived macrophages were incubated for 48 hours in Medium 199 with 1% human serum albumin, and with 100 micrograms acetyl low density lipoprotein (LDL) or beta-very low density lipoprotein (beta-VLDL), with or without various concentrations of compactin, lovastatin, simvastatin, or pravastatin. The mass of free (FC) and esterified (CE) cholesterol was determined, as well as the i...
