Cellular cholesterol efflux is modulated by phospholipid-derived signaling molecules in familial HDL deficiency/Tangier disease fibroblasts

Familial HDL deficiency (FHD) is the heterozygous form of Tangier disease (TD). Mutations of the ABCA1 gene cause FHD and TD. FHD/TD cells are unable to normally efflux cholesterol onto nascent HDL particles, which are rapidly catabolized. TD fibroblasts have an abnormal pattern of PLC and PLD activ...
