Stimulation of Cholesterol Efflux by LXR Agonists in Cholesterol-Loaded Human Macrophages Is ABCA1-Dependent but ABCG1-Independent

Abstract: Objective-Maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis in human macrophages is essential to prevent foam cell formation. We evaluated the relative contribution of the ABCA1 and ABCG1 transporters to cholesterol efflux from human macrophages, and of the capacity of LXR agonists to reduce foam cell formation by stimulating export of cellular cholesterol. Methods and Results-ABCG1 mRNA levels were strongly increased in acLDL-loaded THP-1 macrophages and in HMDM on stimulation with LXR agonists. However, silencing of AB… Show more

“…In contrast, ABCA1 in hepatocytes is essential for nascent HDL formation [298]. In human macrophage foam cells cholesterol efflux stimulated by LXR agonist requires SR-BI and ABCA1 but not ABCG1 [299]. It is likely that the contributions of ABCA1, ABCG1 and SR-BI to cholesterol efflux differ in a tissue-and species-specific manner [300].…”

“…Reverse transcription and real-time quantitative PCR using a LightCycler LC480 (Roche) were performed as previously described (13). Expression of mRNA levels was normalized to the human non-POU domain-containing, octamer-binding housekeeping gene (NONO); human a-tubulin (TUBA) and human heat shock protein 90 kDa a (cytosolic); class B member 1 (HSP90AB1) or mouse hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (Hprt1); mouse non-POU domain-containing, octamer-binding housekeeping gene (Nono); mouse heat shock protein 90 kDa a (cytosolic); class B member 1 (Hsp90ab1); mouse cyclophilin A (CycA); and mouse b-glucuronidase (Gusb) and mouse 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA).…”

“…However, the relative contribution of the ABCA1, scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI)/Cla1, and ABCG1 pathways to cholesterol export from macrophages is species specifi c ( 18 ). In human macrophages, ABCA1 is considered to be the major cholesterol transporter which interacts preferentially with lipid-poor ApoAI ( 19,20 ).…”

“…Of secondary importance, the SR-BI/Cla-1 receptor promotes bidirectional cholesterol fl uxes and interacts mostly with large HDL particles in order to facilitate the exit of free cholesterol (FC) from macrophages ( 21 ). The ABCG1 transporter plays an important role in cholesterol effl ux from mouse macrophages, however its contribution to promoting cholesterol effl ux from human macrophages is mostly insignifi cant ( 18,22 ).To date, no study has investigated the effect of HIV infection or its treatment on the ability of HDL particles to stimulate cholesterol effl ux from human macrophages. We hypothesize that HIV infection might induce the appearance of dysfunctional HDL particles, thus reducing cholesterol effl ux from human macrophages and favoring atherosclerosis progression.…”
