Pitavastatin Increases ABCA1 Expression by Dual Mechanisms: SREBP2-Driven Transcriptional Activation and PPARα-Dependent Protein Stabilization but Without Activating LXR in Rat Hepatoma McARH7777 Cells

Pitavastatin Increases ABCA1 Expression by Dual Mechanisms: SREBP2-Driven Transcriptional Activation and PPARα-Dependent Protein Stabilization but Without Activating LXR in Rat Hepatoma McARH7777 Cells

Abstract.: Hepatic ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays a key role in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) production by apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) lipidation. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, statins, increase ABCA1 mRNA levels in hepatoma cell lines, bu...
