1 Overexpression of miR-144 reduces ABCA1 expression and attenuates cholesterol efflux to apolipoproteinA1 in macrophages. Cholesterol microRNA 144 Mus musculus
2 Thus, miR-144 seems to regulate both macrophage cholesterol efflux and HDL biogenesis in the liver. Cholesterol microRNA 144 Mus musculus
3 CONCLUSIONS: miR-144 regulates cholesterol metabolism via suppressing ABCA1 expression and modulation of miRNAs may represent a potential therapeutical intervention for treating dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic vascular disease. Cholesterol microRNA 144 Mus musculus
