description

  • Resistin promotes macrophage-foam cell formation, but the mechanisms are unclear. In macrophages, lipid uptake is regulated by scavenger receptors (SR-A and CD36), while the cholesterol efflux is regulated by SR-BI, ATP-binding cassette transporter-A1 (ABCA1) and ABCG1. We investigated the mechanisms underlying the dysregulation by resistin of these regulators leading to promotion of lipid accumulation in bone marrow-derived macrophages.
