Two macrophage ABC transporters, ABCA1 and ABCG1, have a major role in promoting cholesterol efflux from macrophages. Peritoneal macrophages deficient in ABCA1, ABCG1, or both show enhanced expression of inflammatory and chemokine genes. This study was undertaken to elucidate the mechanisms and consequences of enhanced inflammatory gene expression in ABC transporter-deficient macrophages.
