Methods After THP 1/PMA macrophages were transfected with ABCA1 antisense oligonucleotides （100nmol/L） followed by treatment with Ox-LDL （30mg/L）, the expressions of ABCA1, ICAM-1 and MCP-1 mRNA and protein were determined by real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot or ELISA. Results Ox-LDL induced expressions of ABCA1, ICAM-1, and MCP-1 at both mRNA and protein levels from THPI/PMA macrophages. Transfection with ABCAI antisense oligonucleotides reduced ABCA1 mRNA levels after 3 and 6 hours and protein levels after 12 and 24 hours. The expression of ICAM-1 and MCP-1 induced by Ox-LDL was also decreased after inhibition of ABCA 1 protein expression by ABCA 1 antisense oligonucleotide decreased. Conclusion The induction of macrophage inflammatory cytokines by Ox-LDL is partially dependent on expression ofABCA1. Our studies disclose new functions of ABCA1 in macrophages Objective The current study aimed to evaluate whether the induction of macrophage inflammatory eytokines by Ox-LDL is related to the expression of ABCA 1 pathway.
