ABSTRACT
AIM:
To study the effect of acyl coenzyme Acholesteryl acyltransferase 1(ACAT1)antisense oligonucleotides on the formation of foam cells(FC).METHODS:
THP-1 cells were cultured and differentiated into macrophages(MP)by phorbol myristate acetate(PMA).Over-expressing ACAT1 gene THP-1 cells were constructed.The ACAT1 antisense and missense oligonucleotides conducted by LipofectamineTM 2000 were incubated with above cells.Ac-LDL was added 6 h later and incubated for 24 h.The expression of ACAT1 protein was detected by Western blotting.The ACAT activity was measured by quantifying the incorporation of 1-14C oleoyl CoA into cholesteryl esters.The formation of foam cells was detected by oil red O staining.RESULTS:
The ACAT1 antisense oligonucleotides inhibited the activity of ACAT in macrophages and over-expressing ACAT1 gene THP-1 cells.It also inhibited the formation of foam cell in macrophages and over-expressing ACAT1 gene THP-1 cells with lipid loading.The missense oligonucleotides did not show the inhibitory effects.CONCLUSION:
The ACAT1 antisense oligonucleotides inhibit the activity of ACAT and the formation of foam cells.
