| Abstract | Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has recently been shown to facilitate macrophage foam cell formation and has been suggested to be a proatherogenic factor. The mechanism of LPS induced cholesterol accumulation, however, is unclear. In this report, using the macrophage-like RAW 264.7 cell line, we provide experimental evidence that LPS's proatherogenic effects may at least in part reflect altered cholesterol metabolism. Data presented demonstrate that in a dose-dependent manner, LPS is able to down regulate the mRNA expression of the two primary high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptors, scavenger receptor B1 (SR-B1) and ATP binding cassette A1 (ABCA1), with a 50% inhibitory concentration of less than 0.2 ng/ml, as well as to decrease SR-B1 protein expression by 80%. We also found that LPS treatment resulted in a significant decrease (to 20% of the control level) of the specific 125I-HDL binding as well as in 50% inhibition of the HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux compared to untreated cells. In addition, we compared the potencies of various modified LPS preparations and demonstrated that the phosphorylated lipid A portion of LPS, which is highly conserved among gram-negative microorganisms, including Chlamydia, is primarily responsible for the effects of LPS on SR-B1 and ABCA1 expression. Inhibitors of NF-κB activation were observed to efficiently block the suppressive effect of LPS on SR-B1 and ABCA1, suggesting a mechanism involving NF-κB. These data indicate that the LPS effects on cholesterol metabolism may contribute to the proatherogenic properties of LPS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
