Evaluation of phospholipid transfer protein and cholesteryl ester transfer protein as contributors to the generation of pre beta-high-density lipoproteins [PDF]

, 2001
High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are considered anti-atherogenic because they mediate peripheral cell cholesterol transport to the liver for excretion and degradation.

The Regulation of Reverse Cholesterol Transport and Cellular Cholesterol Homeostasis by MicroRNAs [PDF]

Biology, 2015
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that have the ability to post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. Hundreds of miRNAs have been identified in humans and they are involved in the regulation of almost every process, including cholesterol transport, metabolism, and maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis.

REGULATION OF ABCG5 AND ABCG8 STEROL TRANSPORTERS IN BILIARY CHOLESTEROL ELIMINATION, REVERSE CHOLESTEROL TRANSPORT AND DYSLIPIDEMIA [PDF]

, 2011
ATP-binding cassette transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1 initiate reverse cholesterol transport generating HDL particles, whereas ABCG5/G8 promote biliary cholesterol secretion thereby facilitating the last step of reverse cholesterol transport.

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.

Pancreas transplantation modulates reverse cholesterol transport [PDF]

Transplant International, 1999
Hyperinsulinemia secondary to insulin resistance in type-II diabetes or in the metabolic syndrome is associated with the "atherogenetic lipoprotein phenotype": high triglycerides, small, dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

Computational Modelling of Atherosclerosis

, 2015
Atherosclerosis is one of the principle pathologies of cardiovascular disease with blood cholesterol a significant risk factor. The World Health Organisation estimates that approximately 2.5 million deaths occur annually due to the risk from elevated ...

Putting cholesterol in its place: apoE and reverse cholesterol transport [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2006
To avoid toxic overload of cholesterol in peripheral cells, the reverse cholesterol transport pathway directs excess cholesterol through HDL acceptors to the liver for elimination. In this issue of the JCI, a study by Matsuura et al. reveals new features of this pathway, including the importance of the ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 in macrophages

Different Effects of Maternal Low-Isoflavone Soy Protein and Genistein Consumption on Hepatic Lipid Metabolism of 21-Day-Old Male Rat Offspring. [PDF]

, 2017
Amino acid composition and isoflavone are alleged contributors to the beneficial effects of soy protein isolate (SPI) on lipid metabolism. Therefore, we investigated the contributing component(s) of SPI in a maternal diet to the regulation of lipid ...

Decreased expression of breast cancer resistance protein in the duodenum in patients with obstructive cholestasis [PDF]

, 2006
Background/Aims: The expression of transporters involved in bile acid homeostasis is differentially regulated during obstructive cholestasis. Since the drug efflux transporter breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is known to transport bile acids, we ...

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

, 2018
Activation of liver X receptors (LXRs) with synthetic agonists promotes reverse cholesterol transport and protects against atherosclerosis in mouse models.
