Cholesterol efflux in the transplant patient [PDF]
Purpose of review Cholesterol metabolism is increasingly recognized in inflammatory diseases including transplantation. This review discusses the mechanistic underpinnings that tie macrophage cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to chronic rejection in transplanted patients.

Cholesterol uptake and efflux are impaired in human trophoblast cells from pregnancies with maternal supraphysiological hypercholesterolemia. [PDF]
Maternal physiological (MPH) or supraphysiological hypercholesterolaemia (MSPH) occurs during pregnancy. Cholesterol trafficking from maternal to foetal circulation requires the uptake of maternal LDL and HDL by syncytiotrophoblast and cholesterol efflux

Inhibition of cellular cholesterol efflux by 25-hydroxycholesterol.
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.

Cholesterol Efflux and Atheroprotection [PDF]
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) has been proposed to have several antiatherosclerotic properties, including the ability to mediate macrophage cholesterol efflux, antioxidant capacity, antiinflammatory properties, nitric oxide–promoting activity, and ability to transport proteins with their own intrinsic biological activities.1 HDL particles are critical

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 ...

Familial HDL deficiency (FHD) is the heterozygous form of Tangier disease (TD). Mutations of the ABCA1 gene cause FHD and TD. FHD/TD cells are unable to normally efflux cholesterol onto nascent HDL particles, which are rapidly catabolized. TD fibroblasts

Effects of dalcetrapib in patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome [PDF]
In observational analyses, higher levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol have been associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease events.

A new pathway of macrophage cholesterol efflux [PDF]
Macrophage foam cells (i.e., cholesteryl ester-laden macrophages) are abundant in atherosclerotic plaques, and increased macrophage foam cell content is associated with plaque instability (1, 2). Macrophages are generally thought to unload surplus cholesterol via efflux mediated by the ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 and G1 (ABCA1 and ABCG1) to ...

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