The polyphenol PGG enhances expression of SR-BI and ABCA1 in J774 and THP-1 macrophages

Atherosclerosis
Wenhua ZhaoAndreas Ritsch

Abstract

Atherosclerosis is the major cause of cardiovascular disease. Epidemiological studies showed that the plasma concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level is inversely related to the incidence of atherosclerosis probably due to its role in reverse cholesterol transport. 1,2,3,4, 6-penta-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose (PGG) is a prototypical gallotannin and the central compound in the biosynthetic pathway of hydrolysable tannin. PGG is highly enriched in a number of medicinal herbals. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have shown PGG can influence parameters and processes known to be involved in the development of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the influences of PGG on parameters of reverse cholesterol transport. We showed that PGG not only induced expression of SR-BI and ABCA1 in J774 and THP-1 macrophages, but was able to reverse the ox-LDL down-regulated expression of SR-BI and ABCA1 in these cells. Additionally, PGG was able to reverse the ox-LDL downregulated cholesterol efflux from cholesterol laden macrophages. In summary, our data are suggesting that PGG is able to induce reverse cholesterol transport by influencing expression of key proteins of this pathway. We, therefore, suggest...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
