Low Serum Levels of ABCA1, an ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter, Are Predictive of Preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, but the exact cause of preeclamptic hypertension remains unknown. ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 1 (ABCA1) reverses cholesterol transport and eliminates excess cholesterol from tissues, whereas higher levels of cholesterol may lead to hypertension. Thus, ABCA1 affects the blood lipid profile. W...
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 کاملThe role of ATP-binding-cassette-transporter-A1 (ABCA1) gene polymorphism on coronary artery disease risk.
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays a pivotal role in intracellular cholesterol removal and exerts a protective effect against atherosclerosis. The role of genetic factors in susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD) is not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate for the first time the possible association between R219K gene polymorphism and coronary artery disease in a...
متن کاملATP binding cassette transporter ABCA1 modulates the secretion of apolipoprotein E from human monocyte-derived macrophages.
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) produced by macrophages in the arterial wall protects against atherosclerosis, but the regulation of its secretion by these cells is poorly understood. Here we investigated the contribution of the adenosine triphosphate binding cassette transporters ABCA1 and ABC8 to the secretion of apoE from either primary human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM) or human THP1 macroph...
متن کاملMyeloid-specific genetic ablation of ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCA1 is protective against cancer
Increased circulating levels of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), the major protein of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), by genetic manipulation or infusion, protects against melanoma growth and metastasis. Herein, we explored potential roles in melanoma tumorigenesis for host scavenger receptor class B, type 1 (SR-B1), and ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 (ABCA1) and G1 (ABCG1), all mediators of ...
