Mechanism for FGF-1 to regulate biogenesis of apoE-HDL in astrocytes

Fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF-1) is secreted by astrocytes and stimulates apolipoprotein E (apoE)-HDL biogenesis by an autocrine mechanism to help in recovery from brain injury. In apoE-deficient mouse astrocytes, FGF-1 stimulated cholesterol biosynthesis without enhancing its release, indicating...
