MiR‐26 controls LXR‐dependent cholesterol efflux by targeting ABCA1 and ARL7
Copyright policy )MiR‐26 controls LXR‐dependent cholesterol efflux by targeting ABCA1 and ARL7
Cellular cholesterol levels are tightly regulated and represent a balance of cholesterol uptake, endogenous synthesis and efflux. Although the classic transcriptional regulations of cholesterol metabolism by liver X receptors (LXRs) have been well studied, the potential effects of LXR‐responsive microRNAs (miRNAs) still need to be unveiled. Here, we describe that miR‐26, an LXR‐suppressed miRNA, inhibits the expression of the ATP‐binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and ADP‐ribosylation factor‐like 7 (ARL7), two LXR target genes which play critical roles in cholesterol efflux. These findings have not only figured out an alternative mechanism for LXR regulation, but also provided a potential therapeutic target for cholesterol metabolic disorders.
