Predictive value of HDL function in patients with coronary artery disease: relationship with coronary plaque characteristics and clinical events

open access: yesAnnals of Medicine, 2022
Background HDL is endowed with several metabolic, vascular, and immunoinflammatory protective functions. Among them, a key property is to promote reverse cholesterol transport from cells back to the liver.

SR-BI inhibits ABCG1-stimulated net cholesterol efflux from cells to plasma HDL

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2008
This study compares the roles of ABCG1 and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) singly or together in promoting net cellular cholesterol efflux to plasma HDL containing active LCAT. In transfected cells, SR-BI promoted free cholesterol efflux to HDL,

Cellular Cholesterol Efflux Mediated by Cyclodextrins [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
In this study, we compared cholesterol efflux mediated by either high density lipoproteins (HDL3) or beta-cyclodextrins, cyclic oligosaccharides that are able to dissolve lipids in their hydrophobic core. beta-Cyclodextrin, 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, and methyl-beta-cyclodextrin at 10 mM induced the release of 50-90% of L-cell [3H]cholesterol ...

Apolipoprotein E and Atherosclerosis: From Lipoprotein Metabolism to MicroRNA Control of Inflammation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Apolipoprotein (apo) E stands out among plasma apolipoproteins through its unprecedented ability to protect against atherosclerosis. Although best recognized for its ability to mediate plasma lipoprotein clearance in the liver and protect against ...

Overexpression and deletion of phospholipid transfer protein reduce HDL mass and cholesterol efflux capacity but not macrophage reverse cholesterol transport

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2017
Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) may affect macrophage reverse cholesterol transport (mRCT) through its role in the metabolism of HDL. Ex vivo cholesterol efflux capacity and in vivo mRCT were assessed in PLTP deletion and PLTP overexpression mice ...

Apolipoprotein E-dependent cholesterol efflux from macrophages: kinetic study and divergent mechanisms for endogenous versus exogenous apolipoprotein E

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1999
In these studies, we have utilized a J774 macrophage model in order to compare phospholipid and cholesterol efflux kinetics in macrophage cells that do not express endogenous apoE to cells transfected to express physiologic levels of human apoE.

Walnut oil increases cholesterol efflux through inhibition of stearoyl CoA desaturase 1 in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Walnuts significantly decrease total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in normo- and hypercholesterolemic individuals. No study to date has evaluated the effects of walnuts on cholesterol efflux, the initial step in reverse ...

Cell-specific discrimination of desmosterol and desmosterol mimetics confers selective regulation of LXR and SREBP in macrophages. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018

Sphingomyelin-dependence of cholesterol efflux mediated by ABCG1s⃞

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2007
ABCG1, one of the half-type ATP binding cassette (ABC) proteins, mediates the efflux of cholesterol to HDL and functions in the reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral cells to the liver.

Proteomic analysis of HDL from inbred mouse strains implicates APOE associated with HDL in reduced cholesterol efflux capacity via the ABCA1 pathway[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2016
Cholesterol efflux capacity associates strongly and negatively with the incidence and prevalence of human CVD. We investigated the relationships of HDL's size and protein cargo with its cholesterol efflux capacity using APOB-depleted serum and HDLs ...
