Adipose tissue ATP binding cassette transporter A1 contributes to high-density lipoprotein biogenesis in vivo.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Adipose tissue (AT) is the body's largest free cholesterol reservoir and abundantly expresses ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), a key cholesterol transporter for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) biogenesis. However, the extent to which AT ABCA1 expression contributes to HDL biogenesis in vivo is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Adipocyte-specific ABCA1 knockout mice (ABCA1(-A/-A)) were generated by crossing ABCA1(floxed) mice with aP2Cre transgenic mice. AT from ABCA1(-A/-A) mice had <10% of wild-type ABCA1 protein expression but normal hepatic and intestinal expression. Deletion of adipocyte ABCA1 resulted in a significant decrease in plasma HDL cholesterol (approximately 15%) and apolipoprotein A-I (approximately 13%) concentrations. AT from ABCA1(-A/-A) mice had a 2-fold increase in free cholesterol content compared with wild-type mice and failed to efflux cholesterol to apolipoprotein A-I. However, cholesterol efflux from AT to plasma HDL was similar for both genotypes of mice. Incubation of wild-type AT explants with apolipoprotein A-I resulted in the formation of multiple discrete-sized nascent HDL particles ranging in diameter from 7.1 to 12 nm; similar incubations with ABCA1(-A/-A) AT explants resulted in nascent HDL <8 nm. Plasma decay and tissue uptake of wild-type (125)I-HDL tracer were similar in both genotypes of recipient mice, suggesting that adipocyte ABCA1 deficiency reduces plasma HDL concentrations solely by reducing nascent HDL particle formation. CONCLUSIONS We provide in vivo evidence that AT ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux and nascent HDL particle formation contribute to systemic HDL biogenesis and that AT ABCA1 expression plays an important role in adipocyte cholesterol homeostasis.

متن کاملA novel compound inhibits reconstituted high-density lipoprotein assembly and blocks nascent high-density lipoprotein biogenesis downstream of apolipoprotein AI binding to ATP-binding cassette transporter A1-expressing cells.
OBJECTIVE Nascent high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles form from cellular lipids and extracellular lipid-free apolipoprotein AI (apoAI) in a process mediated by ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1). We have sought out compounds that inhibit nascent HDL biogenesis without affecting ABCA1 activity. METHODS AND RESULTS Reconstituted HDL (rHDL) formation and cellular cholesterol efflux...

BACKGROUND Accumulation of excess cholesterol by intimal arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) contributes to the formation of foam cells in atherosclerotic lesions. The purpose of this study was to examine the expression and activity of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in model intimal and medial arterial SMCs, in human atherosclerotic coronary artery intimal and medial layers, and in...
