Increased Atherosclerosis in Hyperlipidemic Mice With Inactivation of ABCA1 in Macrophages
Open accessAbstract
The ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) encodes a membrane protein that promotes cholesterol and phospholipid efflux from cells. Mutations in ABCA1 lead to HDL deficiency and tissue accumulation of macrophages in patients with homozygous Tangier disease. In this study, we examined whether the complete absence of ABCA1 or selected inactivation in macrophages is accompanied by an increase in atherosclerotic lesion progression in hypercholesterolemic apolipoprotein E–deficient (apoE −/− ) mice and LDLR receptor–deficient (LDLr −/− ) mice. The absence of ABCA1 led to reduced plasma cholesterol levels in both the apoE −/− and LDLr −/− mice, along with severe skin xanthomatosis characterized by marked foamy macrophages and cholesterol ester accumulation. However, the complete absence of ABCA1 did not affect the development, progression, or composition of atherosclerotic lesions in either the LDLr −/− or the apoE −/− mice fed a chow or atherogenic diet. In contrast, bone marrow transplantation studies demonstrated that the selective inactivation of ABCA1 in macrophages markedly increased atherosclerosis and foam cell accumulation in apoE −/− . Taken together, these findings demonstrate that the complete absence of ABCA1 has a major impact on plasma lipoprotein homeostasis, and the proposed antiatherogenic effect resulting from ABCA1 deficiency is compensated by a less atherogenic profile. ABCA1 deficiency in macrophages, however, demonstrates the antiatherogenic properties of ABCA1 independent of plasma lipids and HDL levels.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
