E3 ubiquitin ligase Listerin regulates macrophage cholesterol efflux and atherosclerosis by targeting ABCA1 [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Investigation
Atherosclerosis arises from disrupted cholesterol metabolism, notably impaired macrophage cholesterol efflux leading to foam cell formation. Through single-cell and bulk RNA-Seq, we identified Listerin E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (Listerin) as a ...

Ezetimibe Promotes Brush Border Membrane-to-Lumen Cholesterol Efflux in the Small Intestine. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Ezetimibe inhibits Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1), an apical membrane cholesterol transporter of enterocytes, thereby reduces intestinal cholesterol absorption.

New Strategies to Promote Macrophage Cholesterol Efflux

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
The capacity of macrophages to dispose of cholesterol deposited in the atherosclerotic plaque depends on their ability to activate cholesterol efflux pathways.

A sensitive assay for ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux using BODIPY-cholesterol

Journal of Lipid Research, 2011
Studies have shown a negative association between cellular cholesterol efflux and coronary artery disease (CAD). Standard protocol for quantitating cholesterol efflux involves labeling cells with [3H]cholesterol and measuring release of the labeled ...

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.

Inhibition of cellular cholesterol efflux by 25-hydroxycholesterol.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
The effect of oxysterols on efflux of cholesterol from mouse L-cell fibroblasts, rat Fu5AH hepatoma cells, J774 macrophages, and human EA.hy 926 endothelial cells was studied.

Targeting mitochondrial 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) regulates macrophage cholesterol efflux and lipid phenotype [PDF]

, 2014
The aim of the present study was to establish mitochondrial cholesterol trafficking 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) as a potential therapeutic target, capable of increasing macrophage cholesterol efflux to (apo)lipoprotein acceptors.

Dissecting the Impact of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell ABCA1 versus ABCG1 Expression on Cholesterol Efflux and Macrophage-like Cell Transdifferentiation: The Role of SR-BI

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Cholesterol-laden macrophages are recognized as a major contributor to atherosclerosis. However, recent evidence indicates that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) that accumulate cholesterol and transdifferentiate into a macrophage-like cell (MLC ...

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.

The roles of different pathways in the release of cholesterol from macrophages

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
Cholesterol efflux occurs by different pathways, including transport mediated by specific proteins. We determined the effect of enriching cells with free cholesterol (FC) on the release of FC to human serum.
