Proteasomal Inhibition Promotes ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 (ABCA1) and ABCG1 Expression and Cholesterol Efflux From Macrophages In Vitro and In Vivo

Abstract

The present study provided evidence that the UPS is involved in ABCA1/G1 degradation, thereby affecting RCT in vivo. Therefore, specific inhibition of the UPS pathway might lead to a novel HDL therapy that enhances RCT.
