Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide alters atherosclerotic-related gene expression in oxidized low-density-lipoprotein-induced macrophages and foam cells [PDF]

, 2011
The molecular mechanism between atherosclerosis formation and periodontal pathogens is not clear although positive correlation between periodontal infections and cardiovascular diseases has been reported.

Pitavastatin Increases ABCA1 Expression by Dual Mechanisms: SREBP2-Driven Transcriptional Activation and PPARα-Dependent Protein Stabilization but Without Activating LXR in Rat Hepatoma McARH7777 Cells

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: Hepatic ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays a key role in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) production by apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) lipidation.

Research Models for Studying Vascular Calcification [PDF]

, 2020
Calcification of the vessel wall contributes to high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Vascular calcification (VC) is a systemic disease with multifaceted contributing and inhibiting factors in an actively regulated process.

Identification of an ABCA1-dependent phospholipid-rich plasma membrane apolipoprotein A-I binding site for nascent HDL formation: implications for current models of HDL biogenesis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
It is well accepted that both apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and ABCA1 play crucial roles in HDL biogenesis and in the human atheroprotective system. However, the nature and specifics of apoA-I/ABCA1 interactions remain poorly understood.

Chlamydial infection from outside to inside [PDF]

, 2019
Chlamydia are obligate intracellular bacteria, characterized by a unique biphasic developmental cycle. Specific interactions with the host cell are crucial for the bacteria's survival and amplification because of the reduced chlamydial genome.

Janus kinase 2 modulates the lipid-removing but not protein-stabilizing interactions of amphipathic helices with ABCA1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
ABCA1 mediates the transport of cellular cholesterol and phospholipids to HDL apolipoproteins. Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) interactions with ABCA1-expressing cells elicit several responses, including removing cellular lipids, stabilizing ABCA1 protein ...

Acrolein Impairs ATP Binding Cassette Transporter A1-dependent Cholesterol Export from Cells through Site-specific Modification of Apolipoprotein A-I*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
Acrolein is a highly reactive α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, but the factors that control its reactions with nucleophilic groups on proteins remain poorly understood.

Common ABCA1 variants, HDL levels, and cellular cholesterol efflux in subjects with familial low HDLs⃞

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
HDL promotes cholesterol efflux from peripheral cells via ABCA1 in the first step of reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). We investigated whether the early steps of RCT were disturbed in subjects with familial low HDL and an increased risk for early ...

MEDI6012: Recombinant Human Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase, High‐Density Lipoprotein, and Low‐Density Lipoprotein Receptor–Mediated Reverse Cholesterol Transport

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background MEDI6012 is recombinant human lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase, the rate‐limiting enzyme in reverse cholesterol transport. Infusions of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase have the potential to enhance reverse cholesterol transport and ...
