Entry pathways of herpes simplex virus type 1 into human keratinocytes are dynamin- and cholesterol-dependent [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) can enter cells via endocytic pathways or direct fusion at the plasma membrane depending on the cell line and receptor(s).

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

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.

Reverse Cholesterol Transport Pathway and Cholesterol Efflux in Diabetic Retinopathy [PDF]
Cholesterol esters, synthesized from cholesterol with long-chain fatty acids, are essential components of plasma lipoproteins and cell membranes that participate in various metabolic processes in the body. Cholesterol can be excreted through the cholesterol reverse transport (RCT) pathway when excessive cholesterol is produced in the extrahepatic cells,

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.

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 ...

Cellular Cholesterol Efflux Mediated by Cyclodextrins [PDF]
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 ...

Cholesterol efflux from 3D cultured hepatic constructs.
Cholesterol efflux supported by lipoproteins is a key property of hepatocytes. To assess efflux, PHH were cultured in 3D and radiolabeled with 3H-cholesterol for 24 hours after 5 and 7 days post culture.

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 ...
