Chronic renal failure influences macrophages’ cholesterol content by down-regulating ABCA1
Objective To explore the changes of cholesterol content and the expression of ABCA1 in peripheral macrophages from chronic renal failure (CRF) patients. Methods A total of 30 CRF patients hospitalized in our department from August 2010 to March 2012 and 20 sex- and age-matched healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated and stimulated to make them transfer to macrophages. Macrophages were identified by oil red O staining. The cellular cholesterol content was measured by enzymatic colorimetry. Macrophages
were collected to detect the expression of ABCA1 by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Results The content of intracellular cholesterol in the peripheral macrophages from CRF patients was significantly higher than that from healthy patients (
P
<
0.01)
while
the expression of ABCA1 was significantly decreased (
P
<
0.01). Conclusion CRF increases cholesterol content in peripheral macrophage
which might be associated with the decreased expression of ABCA1.
