Activation of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 Transcription by Chromatin Remodeling Complex [PDF]

open access: yesArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2005
Objective— Liver X receptor (LXR) regulates the transcription of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) by binding to the DR-4 promoter element as a heterodimer with retinoid X receptor (RXR). The role of chromatin remodeling complex in LXR or ABCA1 activation has not been established previously.

ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 in Lipoprotein Metabolism and Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2013
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is a key protein determining high-density lipoprotein (HDL) function. In 1999, it was discovered by 3 independent groups that mutations in the gene for ABCA1 underlie the molecular defect in the HDL deficiency syndrome Tangier disease.

Stanol esters decrease plasma cholesterol independently of intestinal ABC sterol transporters and Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 protein gene expression

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2004
Possible mechanisms for the cholesterol-lowering effects of plant stanol esters were addressed by feeding hamsters diets containing stanol esters, cholesterol, or cholestyramine/lovastatin.

Increased ABCA1 (ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1)-Specific Cholesterol Efflux Capacity in Schizophrenia

open access: yes, 2020
International audienceObjective: Patients with schizophrenia have increased long-term mortality attributable to cardiovascular disease and commonly demonstrate features of mixed dyslipidemia with low HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol).

A novel enzyme immunoassay specific for ABCA1 protein quantification in human tissues and cells

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2008
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates the transport of cholesterol and phospholipids from cells to lipid-poor HDL and maintains cellular lipid homeostasis.

Hydrogen Sulfide Up-Regulates the Expression of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 via Promoting Nuclear Translocation of PPARα. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Mol Sci, 2016
ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays a key role in atherogenesis. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gasotransmitter, has been reported to play an anti-atherosclerotic role. However, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown.

ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 and HDL metabolism: effects of fatty acids [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 2012
Ample evidence indicates that dietary fatty acids alter the plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of fatty acids still remain elusive. Recent advances in our understanding of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) function and regulation have provided a valuable insight into ...

Regulation of ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux during adipose differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2003
Adipose cells specialized in energy storage, contain large intracellular triglyceride-rich lipid droplets, are enriched with free cholesterol, and express sterol-regulated transcription factors such as liver X receptor (LXR). The recent identification of
