Genetic obesity increases pancreatic expression of mitochondrial proteins which regulate cholesterol efflux in BRIN-BD11 insulinoma cells [PDF]

, 2019
Pancreatic β-cells are sensitive to fluctuations in cholesterol content, which can damage the insulin secretion pathway, contributing to the aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Peroxisomal ATP-binding cassette transporters form mainly tetramers [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
ABCD1 and its homolog ABCD2 are peroxisomal ATP-binding cassette (ABC) half-transporters of fatty acyl-CoAs with both distinct and overlapping substrate specificities. Although it is established that ABC half-transporters have at least to dimerize to generate a functional unit, functional equivalents of tetramers (i.e.

Identification of three loci affecting HDL-cholesterol levels in a screen for chemically induced recessive mutations in mice[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
We conducted a genome-wide screen using the mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea to identify recessive mutations in genes that lead to altered lipid traits in mice.

Exosomes containing HIV protein Nef reorganize lipid rafts potentiating inflammatory response in bystander cells. [PDF]

, 2019
HIV infection has a profound effect on "bystander" cells causing metabolic co-morbidities. This may be mediated by exosomes secreted by HIV-infected cells and containing viral factors.

ATP-Binding Cassette Cholesterol Transporters and Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2006
A hallmark of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the accumulation of cholesterol in arterial macrophages. Factors that modulate circulating and tissue cholesterol levels have major impacts on initiation, progression, and regression of CVD.

Expression of drug transporters in the human skin: comparison in different species and models and its implication for drug development

ADMET and DMPK, 2017
It is clear that many drug transporters (both ABCs and SLCs) are present in the human skin. Different in vitro skin models can be used to investigate the role of drug transporters in the skin despite quantitative differences in expression profile across ...

Drug transport mechanism of P-glycoprotein monitored by single molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer

, 2011
In this work we monitor the catalytic mechanism of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Pgp, a member of the ATP binding cassette family of transport proteins, is found in the plasma membrane of animal

Effect of a novel nutraceutical combination on serum lipoprotein functional profile and circulating PCSK9 [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: A beneficial effect on cardiovascular risk may be obtained by improving lipid-related serum lipoprotein functions such as high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and serum cholesterol loading capacity (CLC) and by ...

Twenty years of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters [PDF]

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2006
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters constitute a large superfamily of primary active transport systems, which play a diversity of physiological roles, and are found in all cells of all kingdoms [3]. The year 2006 marks the 20th anniversary of the identification of this superfamily of proteins in 1986 [4].

Targeted delivery of rosuvastatin enhances treatment of hyperhomocysteinemia-induced atherosclerosis using macrophage membrane-coated nanoparticles

Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis
Rosuvastatin (RVS) is an excellent drug with anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering properties in the academic and medical fields. However, this drug faces a series of challenges when used to treat atherosclerosis caused by hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy ...
