Bixin and fucoxanthin sensitize human lung cancer and cervical cancer cell to cisplatin in vitro

BMC Research Notes, 2021
Objective Cisplatin is a conventional anticancer drug that generates reactive oxygen species and causes apoptosis. However, many cancer cells develop alterations in the ATP binding cassette transporter responsible for the uptake and efflux process, which

Prognostic impact of high ABC transporter activity in 111 adult acute myeloid leukemia patients with normal cytogenetics when compared to FLT3, NPM1, CEBPA and BAALC

Haematologica, 2012
ATP-binding cassette transporter (and specially P-glycoprotein) activity is a well known prognostic factor in acute myeloid leukemia, but when compared to other molecular markers its prognostic value has not been well studied. Here we study relationships

ABCA1 and ABCG1 or ABCG4 act sequentially to remove cellular cholesterol and generate cholesterol-rich HDL

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Recent developments in lipid metabolism have shown the importance of ATP binding cassette transporters (ABCs) in controlling cellular and total body lipid homeostasis. ABCA1 mediates the transport of cholesterol and phospholipids from cells to lipid-poor

Serum amyloid A generates high density lipoprotein with cellular lipid in an ABCA1- or ABCA7-dependent manner

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an amphiphilic helical protein that is found associated with plasma HDL in various pathological conditions, such as acute or chronic inflammation. Cellular lipid release and generation of HDL by this protein were investigated, in

Phospholipid transfer protein deficiency ameliorates diet-induced hypercholesterolemia and inflammation in mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) facilitates the transfer of phospholipids from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins into HDL. PLTP has been shown to be an important factor in lipoprotein metabolism and atherogenesis. Here, we report that chronic high-fat,

Human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family

Human Genomics, 2009
There exist four fundamentally different classes of membrane-bound transport proteins: ion channels; transporters; aquaporins; and ATP-powered pumps. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are an example of ATP-dependent pumps.

Heterogeneity of high density lipoprotein generated by ABCA1 and ABCA7

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
The assembly of HDL by helical apolipoprotein and cellular lipid was studied using HEK293 cells to which ecdysone-inducible human ABCA1 or human ABCA7 was transfected.

Ezetimibe normalizes metabolic defects in mice lacking ABCG5 and ABCG8

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
The ATP binding cassette transporters ABCG5 (G5) and ABCG8 (G8) limit the accumulation of neutral sterols by restricting sterol uptake from the intestine and promoting sterol excretion into bile.

Structure of ABCB1/P-Glycoprotein in the Presence of the CFTR Potentiator Ivacaftor

Membranes, 2021
ABCB1/P-glycoprotein is an ATP binding cassette transporter that is involved in the clearance of xenobiotics, and it affects the disposition of many drugs in the body.

The human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
The transport of specific molecules across lipid membranes is an essential function of all living organisms and a large number of specific transporters have evolved to carry out this function.
