Effect of ABCA1 promoter methylation on premature coronary artery disease and its relationship with inflammation
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays a major role in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism and reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) and exerts anti-inflammatory effects. Increased ABCA1 promoter methylation level may result in the progression of coronary artery disease. Thus, the pre...

Summary: | ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays a major role in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism and reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) and exerts anti-inflammatory effects. Increased ABCA1 promoter methylation level may result in the progression of coronary artery disease. Thus, the present study investigated the association between promoter methylation status of ABCA1 and inflammation in the development of premature coronary artery disease (pCAD).
PCAD patients and healthy individuals (n = 90 each) were recruited from the Characteristic Medical Center of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force from June to December 2019. Using pyrosequencing, the levels of ABCA1 promoter methylation in their blood samples were evaluated. Serum concentrations of lipids, interleukin 1β (IL-1β), C-reactive protein (CRP), and circulating free DNA/Neutrophil extracellular traps (cfDNA/NETs) were also routinely measured and compared between the two groups.
