Abstract：Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) knockdown on inflammatory response induced by Pam3CSK4 in mouse mononuclear macrophage RAW264.7 cell line. Methods A mouse mononuclear macrophage RAW264.7 cell line with stable ABCA1 knockdown was constructed and stimulated with Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) ligand Pam3CSK4, and the changes in the transcriptional levels of the proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines were analyzed in this cell model. Results In RAW264.7 cells, ABCA1 knockdown significantly up-regulated Pam3CSK4 stimulation-induced expressions of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 and also enhanced the expression of transcription factor cAMP-dependent transcription factor 3 (ATF3) without obviously affecting the expressions of the transcription factors ATF1, ATF2, ATF4 or ATF5. Conclusion ABCA1 knockdown in macrophages may have both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects.ABCA1 knockdown up-regulates the transcription of ATF3 possibly through a mechanism that is different from that for the other members of the ATF protein family.
