The assembly of HDL by helical apolipoprotein and cellular lipid was studied using HEK293 cells to which ecdysone-inducible human ABCA1 or human ABCA7 was transfected. Expression of both ABCA1 and ABCA7 was induced linearly proportional to ponasterone A concentration in the medium. In the experimental conditions used, the ABC protein expression levels limited the rate of lipid release when the apolipoprotein concentration was high, and the apolipoprotein concentration was rate-limiting when the ABC protein expression levels were high. When ABCA1 expression increased in conditions in which it was rate-limiting, relative cholesterol content to phospholipid increased in the HDL produced. In contrast, it was constant when ABCA7 expression increased. To investigate the background mechanism, the HDL particles were analyzed by density gradient ultracentrifugation and high performance lipid chromatography. The ABCA1-mediated reaction produced two distinct HDLs, large cholesterol-rich and small cholesterol-poor particles, and the ABCA7-mediated reaction generated mostly small cholesterol-poor particles. The increase of HDL assembly with the increase of ABCA1 expression was predominant in large cholesterol-rich particles, whereas only small cholesterol-poor HDL increased as ABCA7 expression increased. We conclude that ABCA1 generates cholesterol-rich and cholesterol-poor HDL and that the former is more prominently dependent on the increase of ABCA1 expression. ABCA7 produces this HDL subfraction only as a very minor component. 相似文献

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an amphiphilic helical protein that is found associated with plasma HDL in various pathological conditions, such as acute or chronic inflammation. Cellular lipid release and generation of HDL by this protein were investigated, in comparison with the reactions by apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and several types of cells that appear with various specific profiles of cholesterol and phospholipid release. SAA mediated cellular lipid release from these cells with the same profile as apoA-I. Upregulation of cellular ABCA1 protein by liver X receptor/retinoid X receptor agonists resulted in an increase of cellular lipid release by apoA-I and SAA. SAA reacted with the HEK293-derived clones that stably express human ABCA1 (293/2c) or ABCA7 (293/6c) to generate cholesterol-containing HDL in a similar manner to apoA-I. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, which differentiate apoA-I-mediated cellular lipid release between 293/2c and 293/6c, also exhibited the same differential effects on the SAA-mediated reactions. No evidence was found for the ABCA1/ABCA7-independent lipid release by SAA. Characterization of physicochemical properties of the HDL revealed that SAA-generated HDL particles had higher density, larger diameter, and slower electrophoretic mobility than those generated by apoA-I. These results demonstrate that SAA generates cholesterol-containing HDL directly with cellular lipid and that the reaction is mediated by ABCA1 and ABCA7. 相似文献

ABCA1 and ABCG1 or ABCG4 act sequentially to remove cellular cholesterol and generate cholesterol-rich HDL 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Recent developments in lipid metabolism have shown the importance of ATP binding cassette transporters (ABCs) in controlling cellular and total body lipid homeostasis. ABCA1 mediates the transport of cholesterol and phospholipids from cells to lipid-poor apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), whereas ABCG1 and ABCG4 mediate the transport of cholesterol from cells to lipidated lipoproteins. ABCA1, ABCG1, and ABCG4 are all expressed in cholesterol-loaded macrophages, and macrophages from ABCA1 and ABCG1 knockout mice accumulate cholesteryl esters. Here, we show that the lipidated particles generated by incubating cells overexpressing ABCA1 with apoA-I are efficient acceptors for cholesterol released from cells overexpressing either ABCG1 or ABCG4. The cholesterol released to the particles was derived from a cholesterol oxidase-accessible plasma membrane pool in both ABCG1 and ABCG4 cells, which is the same pool of cholesterol shown previously to be removed by high density lipoproteins. ABCA1 cells incubated with apoA-I generated two major populations of cholesterol- and phospholipid-rich lipoprotein particles that were converted by ABCG1 or ABCG4 cells to one major particle population that was highly enriched in cholesterol. These results suggest that ABCG1 and ABCG4 act in concert with ABCA1 to maximize the removal of excess cholesterol from cells and to generate cholesterol-rich lipoprotein particles. 相似文献

HIV infection, through the actions of viral accessory protein Nef, impairs activity of cholesterol transporter ABCA1, inhibiting cholesterol efflux from macrophages and elevating the risk of atherosclerosis. Nef also induces lipid raft formation. In this study, we demonstrate that these activities are tightly linked and affect macrophage function and HIV replication. Nef stimulated lipid raft formation in macrophage cell line RAW 264.7, and lipid rafts were also mobilized in HIV-1-infected human monocyte-derived macrophages. Nef-mediated transfer of cholesterol to lipid rafts competed with the ABCA1-dependent pathway of cholesterol efflux, and pharmacological inhibition of ABCA1 functionality or suppression of ABCA1 expression by RNAi increased Nef-dependent delivery of cholesterol to lipid rafts. Nef reduced cell-surface accessibility of ABCA1 and induced ABCA1 catabolism via the lysosomal pathway. Despite increasing the abundance of lipid rafts, expression of Nef impaired phagocytic functions of macrophages. The infectivity of the virus produced in natural target cells of HIV-1 negatively correlated with the level of ABCA1. These findings demonstrate that Nef-dependent inhibition of ABCA1 is an essential component of the viral replication strategy and underscore the role of ABCA1 as an innate anti-HIV factor. 相似文献

Human and mouse ABCA1 comparative sequencing and transgenesis studies revealing novel regulatory sequences 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The expression of ABCA1, a major participant in apolipoprotein-mediated cholesterol efflux, is regulated by a variety of factors, including intracellular cholesterol concentration. To identify sequences involved in its regulation, we sequenced and compared approximately 200 kb of mouse and human DNA containing the ABCA1 gene. Furthermore, expression of the human gene containing different 5' ends was examined in transgenic mice. Sequence comparison revealed multiple conserved noncoding sequences. The two most highly conserved noncoding elements (CNS1, 88% identity over 498 bp; CNS2, 81% identity over 214 bp) were also highly conserved in other organisms. Mice containing the human ABCA1 gene, 70 kb of upstream DNA, and 35 kb of downstream DNA expressed the transgene similarly to endogenous Abca1. A second transgene beginning 3' to exon 1 was expressed only in liver, providing strong evidence of an unsuspected liver-specific promoter. The identified conserved noncoding sequences invite further investigation to elucidate ABCA1 regulation. 相似文献

Prostacyclin and its prostacyclin receptor, the I Prostanoid (IP), play essential roles in regulating hemostasis and vascular tone and have been implicated in a range cardio-protective effects but through largely unknown mechanisms. In this study, the influence of cholesterol on human IP [(h)IP] gene expression was investigated in cultured vascular endothelial and platelet-progenitor megakaryocytic cells. Cholesterol depletion increased human prostacyclin receptor (hIP) mRNA, hIP promoter-directed reporter gene expression, and hIP-induced cAMP generation in all cell types. Furthermore, the constitutively active sterol-response element binding protein (SREBP)1a, but not SREBP2, increased hIP mRNA and promoter-directed gene expression, and deletional and mutational analysis uncovered an evolutionary conserved sterol-response element (SRE), adjacent to a known functional Sp1 element, within the core hIP promoter. Moreover, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays confirmed direct cholesterol-regulated binding of SREBP1a to this hIP promoter region in vivo, and immunofluorescence microscopy corroborated that cholesterol depletion significantly increases hIP expression levels. In conclusion, the hIP gene is directly regulated by cholesterol depletion, which occurs through binding of SREBP1a to a functional SRE within its core promoter. Mechanistically, these data establish that cholesterol can regulate hIP expression, which may, at least in part, account for the combined cardio-protective actions of low serum cholesterol through its regulation of IP expression within the human vasculature. 相似文献

ATP binding cassette transporter A1 - key roles in cellular lipid transport and atherosclerosis 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) was recently recognized as the mutant molecule responsible for Tangier disease with low HDL levels, accumulation of cholesteryl esters in tissues, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Extensive studies for the past 2 years have recognized the critical role of ABCA1 in cholesterol and phospholipid trafficking. Since the removal of cholesterol from tissues is a key step in the prevention of atherosclerosis, significant attention has been focused on this molecule. Natural ABCA1 mutations in Tangier disease (TD) patients and WHAM chickens together with induced mutation in ABCA1 knock-out mice unequivocally established the important role of ABCA1 in maintaining circulating HDL levels and promoting cholesterol efflux from the arterial wall. Mice lacking ABCA1 showed similar phenotypes observed in Tangier disease patients with low levels of HDL. Further understanding of the roles of ABCA1 in lipid transport and atherosclerosis became clear from studies with ABCA1 transgenic mice. These mice showed enhanced cholesterol efflux from macrophages and reduced atherosclerotic lesion formation. The promoter of the ABCA1 gene has been mapped to a large extent, with the exception of cAMP response element. The present review summarizes recent developments on the role of ABCA1 in cholesterol efflux and prevention of atherosclerosis. Given the antiatherogenic properties of ABCA1, this molecule can serve as an appropriate target for developing drugs to treat individuals with low levels of HDL. 相似文献

Arctigenin promotes cholesterol efflux from THP-1 macrophages through PPAR-γ/LXR-α signaling pathway
Xiaolin Xu Qian Li Liewen Pang Guoqian Huang Jiechun Huang Meng Shi Xiaotian Sun Yiqing Wang 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2013
Cholesterol efflux from macrophages is a critical mechanism to prevent the development of atherosclerosis. Here, we sought to investigate the effects of arctigenin, a bioactive component of Arctium lappa, on the cholesterol efflux in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-loaded THP-1 macrophages. Our data showed that arctigenin significantly accelerated apolipoprotein A-I- and high-density lipoprotein-induced cholesterol efflux in both dose- and time-dependent manners. Moreover, arctigenin treatment enhanced the expression of ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), ABCG1, and apoE, all of which are key molecules in the initial step of cholesterol efflux, at both mRNA and protein levels. Arctigenin also caused a concentration-dependent elevation in the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ) and liver X receptor-alpha (LXR-α). The arctigenin-mediated induction of ABCA1, ABCG1, and apoE was abolished by specific inhibition of PPAR-γ or LXR-α using small interfering RNA technology. Our results collectively indicate that arctigenin promotes cholesterol efflux in oxLDL-loaded THP-1 macrophages through upregulation of ABCA1, ABCG1 and apoE, which is dependent on the enhanced expression of PPAR-γ and LXR-α. 相似文献

We previously reported that cholesterol-enriched macrophages excrete cholesterol into the extracellular matrix. A monoclonal antibody that detects cholesterol microdomains labels the deposited extracellular particles. Macrophage deposition of extracellular cholesterol depends, in part, on ABCG1, and this cholesterol can be mobilized by HDL components of the reverse cholesterol transport process. The objective of the current study was to determine whether ABCA1 also contributes to macrophage deposition of extracellular cholesterol. ABCA1 functioned in extracellular cholesterol deposition. The liver X receptor agonist, TO901317 (TO9), an ABCA1-inducing factor, restored cholesterol deposition that was absent in cholesterol-enriched ABCG1−/− mouse macrophages. In addition, the ABCA1 inhibitor, probucol, blocked the increment in cholesterol deposited by TO9-treated wild-type macrophages, and completely inhibited deposition from TO9-treated ABCG1−/− macrophages. Lastly, ABCA1−/− macrophages deposited much less extracellular cholesterol than wild-type macrophages. These findings demonstrate a novel function of ABCA1 in contributing to macrophage export of cholesterol into the extracellular matrix. 相似文献

It has been suggested that the signal transduction initiated by apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) activates key proteins involved in cholesterol efflux. ABCA1 serves as a binding partner for apoA-I, but its participation in apoA-I-induced signaling remains uncertain. We show that the exposure of human fibroblasts to ABCA1 ligands (apolipoproteins and amphipathic helical peptides) results in the generation of intracellular signals, including activation of the small G-protein Cdc42, protein kinases (PAK-1 and p54JNK), and actin polymerization. ApoA-I-induced signaling was abrogated by glyburide, an inhibitor of the ABC transporter family, and in fibroblasts from patients with Tangier disease, which do not express ABCA1. Conversely, induction of ABCA1 expression with the liver X receptor agonist, T0901317, and the retinoid X receptor agonist, R0264456, potentiated apoA-I-induced signaling. Similar effects were observed in HEK293 cells overexpressing ABCA1-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion protein, but not ABCA1-GFP (K939M), which fails to hydrolyze ATP, or a nonfunctional ABCA1-GFP with a truncated C terminus. We further found that Cdc42 coimmunoprecipitates with ABCA1 in ABCA1-GFP-expressing HEK293 cells exposed to apoA-I but not in cells expressing ABCA1 mutants. We conclude that ABCA1 transduces signals from apoA-I by complexing and activating Cdc42 and downstream kinases and, therefore, acts as a full apoA-I receptor. 相似文献

ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates the transport of cholesterol and phospholipids from cells to lipid-poor HDL and maintains cellular lipid homeostasis. Impaired ABCA1 function plays a role in lipid disorders, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and metabolic disorders. Despite the clinical importance of ABCA1, no method is available for quantifying ABCA1 protein. We developed a sensitive indirect competitive ELISA for measuring ABCA1 protein in human tissues using a commercial ABCA1 peptide and a polyclonal anti-ABCA1 antibody. The ELISA has a detection limit of 8 ng/well (0.08 mg/l) with a working range of 9-1000 ng/well (0.09-10 mg/l). Intra- and interassay coefficient of variations (CVs) were 6.4% and 9.6%, respectively. Good linearity (r = 0.97-0.99) was recorded in serial dilutions of human arterial and placental crude membrane preparations, and fibroblast lysates. The ELISA measurements for ABCA1 quantification in reference arterial tissues corresponded well with immunoblot analysis. The assay performance and clinical utility was evaluated with arterial tissues obtained from 15 controls and 44 patients with atherosclerotic plaques. ABCA1 protein concentrations in tissue lysates were significantly lower in patients (n = 24) as compared with controls (n = 5; 9.37 +/- 0.82 vs. 17.03 +/- 4.25 microg/g tissue; P < 0.01). The novel ELISA enables the quantification of ABCA1 protein in human tissues and confirms previous semiquantitative immunoblot results. 相似文献

The highly branched mammalian lung relies on surfactant, a mixture of phospholipids, cholesterol, and hydrophobic proteins, to reduce intraalveolar surface tension and prevent lung collapse. Human mutations in the ABCA3 transporter have been associated with childhood respiratory disease of variable severity and onset. Here, we report the generation of Abca3 null mice, which became lethargic and cyanotic and died within 1 h of birth. Tissue blots found ABCA3 expression was highest in lung but was also detectable in other tissues, including the kidney. Gross development of kidney and lung was normal in neonatal Abca3(-/-) pups, but the mice failed to inflate their lungs, leading to death from atelectatic respiratory failure. Ultrastructural analysis of the Abca3(-/-) lungs revealed an absence of surfactant from the alveolar space and a profound loss of mature lamellar bodies, the intracellular storage organelle for surfactant. Mass spectrometry measurement of >300 phospholipids in lung tissue taken from Abca3(-/-) mice showed a dramatic reduction of phosphatidylglycerol (PG) levels as well as selective reductions in phosphatidylcholine species containing short acyl chains. These results establish a requirement of ABCA3 for lamellar body formation and pulmonary surfactant secretion and suggest a unique and critical role for the transporter in the metabolism of pulmonary PG. They also demonstrate the utility of the Abca3 null mouse as a model for a devastating human disease. 相似文献
