1 FGF21 increases cholesterol efflux by upregulating ABCA1 through the ERK1/2-PPARgamma-LXRalpha pathway in THP1 macrophage-derived foam cells. Cholesterol nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3 Homo sapiens
2 In addition, inhibition of ERK1/2 or PPARgamma, or knockdown of LXRalpha attenuated FGF21-mediated promotion of ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux. Cholesterol nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3 Homo sapiens
3 These results demonstrate that FGF21 can promote cholesterol efflux by upregulating ABCA1 through the ERK1/2-PPARgamma-LXRalpha pathway in THP1 macrophage-derived foam cells. Cholesterol nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3 Homo sapiens
