摘要
胆固醇逆向转运(reverse cholesterol transport,RCT)是指胆固醇从外周组织细胞流出,通过高密度脂蛋白转运至肝脏进行代谢转变的过程,是维持细胞脂质稳态的重要机制。RCT相关基因的功能障碍是动脉粥样硬化脂质沉积、慢性炎症和泡沫细胞形成的主要病因,已成为抗动脉粥样硬化的主要靶点。该文就近年来关于胆固醇逆向转运的调节和定量分析在动脉粥样硬化中的最新研究进展作一综述。
RCT(reverse cholesterol transport)is a multi-step process,by which peripheral cell cholesterol can be returned to the liver for catabolism by HDL(high density lipoprotein)via the plasma compartment,and it is an essential mechanism to maintain the lipid homeostasis of peripheral tissue cells.The dysfunction of individual genes relavant to RCT may result in lipid deposition,chronic inflammation and foam cell formation in atherosclerosis,and modulation of RCT serves as a valuable therapeutic strategy for atherosclerotic diseases.This article reviews the latest advances in study on regulation and quantification of RCT in atherosclerosis.
