“…In the present study, human skin fibroblasts, obtained from a single normolipidemic donor, were used to assess the ability of plasma to promote cholesterol efflux. These cells abundantly express ABCA1 (20), and probably also ABCG1 (31), but contain negligible SR-BI (21). Thus, it is most likely that several pathways including ABCA1-mediated cholesterol transport contribute to fibroblast cholesterol efflux, although their relative contribution is still unknown.…”

“…Cholesterol efflux to plasma was determined using human fibroblasts as cholesterol donor, essentially as described (20,30). In brief, fibroblasts were obtained from a normolipidemic control and were cultured (until passages 5-15) in 24-well culture plates to full confluency.…”

“…Increased oxidation of plasma LDL (7) and accumulation of oxidatively modified LDL in macrophages in the arterial wall (8) are characteristic of the early stage of atherogenesis. HDL has a protective role against atherosclerosis: it removes lipid peroxides (LPOs) and cholesterol from oxidized LDL (9,10) and from cell membranes through the reverse cholesterol transport pathway (11,12). Once LPOs are absorbed by HDL, they are either transported to the liver, where they are detoxified and excreted into the bile (13)(14)(15), or they are reduced directly by HDL to hydroxylipids (16,17).…”
