Accumulation of serum lipids by vascular smooth muscle cells involves a macropinocytosis-like uptake pathway and is associated with the downregulation of the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 [PDF]

, 2013
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) are present in arterial intima before atherosclerotic plaques develop and are likely to be exposed to unmodified serum lipids as they enter the vessel wall.

Nascent HDL formation by hepatocytes is reduced by the concerted action of serum amyloid A and endothelial lipase

Journal of Lipid Research, 2011
Inflammation is associated with significant decreases in plasma HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and apoA-I levels. Endothelial lipase (EL) is known to be an important determinant of HDL-C in mice and in humans and is upregulated during inflammation.

Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Acetoacetate Downregulate the Expression of the ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 [PDF]

Diabetes, 2002
Low HDL cholesterol is a frequent cardiovascular risk factor in diabetes. Because of its pivotal role for the regulation of HDL plasma levels, we investigated in vivo and in vitro regulation of the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) by insulin and metabolites accumulating in diabetes.

Effects of Common Food Additives Kappa‐, Iota‐ and Lambda‐Carrageenans on Intestinal Epithelial Cell Activation and Barrier Disruption

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Carrageenans, widely used food additives, disrupted intestinal epithelial integrity in a gut‐on‐a‐chip model. All types (κ‐, ɩ‐, λ‐) induced cytotoxicity, inflammation and tight junction (TJ) disruption, triggering TNF‐mediated immune responses. λ‐Carrageenan had the most severe effects, supporting the Epithelial Barrier Theory linking food additives ...

LXR-mediated activation of macrophage stearoyl-CoA desaturase generates unsaturated fatty acids that destabilize ABCA1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Abnormal HDL metabolism among patients with diabetes and insulin resistance may contribute to their increased risk of atherosclerosis. ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates the transport of cholesterol and phospholipids from cells to HDL ...

ABCA1-dependent lipid efflux to apolipoprotein A-I mediates HDL particle formation and decreases VLDL secretion from murine hepatocytes

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
High levels of expression of the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in the liver and the need to over- or underexpress hepatic ABCA1 to impact plasma HDL levels in mice suggest a major role of the liver in HDL formation and in determining ...

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

SlGRF1 mediates gibberellin signaling to control cut‐budding in tomato

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Upon wounding, cytokinin increases to initiate callus formation. Gibberellin enhances this, but later blocks bud formation by suppressing SlGRF1. Wounding‐induced protein SlGRF1 triggers buds via NAM1, EPF4, and ER2. Hormonal shifts control cut‐budding phases.

ABCA1 and amphipathic apolipoproteins form high-affinity molecular complexes required for cholesterol efflux

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Apolipoproteins, such as apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), can stimulate cholesterol efflux from cells expressing the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1).
