ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of Nur77 on lipid loading in macrophages exposed to 40 microg/ml oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Stable RAW264.7 strain expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) or GFP-Nur77 was established by G418 screening after transfection with corresponding plasmids and identified by Western blot. After 24 h stimulation with ox-LDL, intracellular lipid loading of each strain was observed by Oil Red O dyeing, and the intracellular cholesterol level was measured by liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The transcriptional changes of CD36 and ABCA1 were monitored by Real Time Quantitative-PCR, while the expressions of these two proteins were assayed by flow cytometry and Western blot, respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After 24 h stimulation with ox-LDL, intracellular total cholesterol and esterified cholesterol concentration in GFP-Nur77-RAW264.7 were significantly dropped by 26.15% and 30.93% respectively (P < 0.05 vs. GFP-RAW264.7). The transcription and expression of ABCA1 in GFP-Nur77-RAW264.7 were significantly increased while the transcription and expression of CD36 were significantly reduced (all P < 0.05 vs. GFP-RAW264.7).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 reduced ox-LDL induced intracellular lipid loading in macrophages by inhibiting lipid influx and enhancing lipid efflux.</p>
