Abnormal HDL metabolism among patients with diabetes and insulin resistance may contribute to their increased risk of atherosclerosis. ABCA1 mediates the transport of cholesterol and phospholipids from cells to HDL apolipoproteins and thus modulates HDL levels and atherogenesis. Unsaturated fatty acids, which are increased in diabetes, impair the ABCA1 pathway in cultured cells by destabilizing ABCA1 protein. We previously reported that unsaturated fatty acids destabilize ABCA1 in murine macrophages and ABCA1-transfected baby hamster kidney cells by increasing its serine phosphorylation through a phospholipase D (PLD) pathway. Here, we examined the cellular pathway downstream of PLD that mediates the ABCA1-destabilizing effects of unsaturated fatty acids. The protein kinase C delta (PKCdelta)-specific inhibitor rottlerin and PKCdelta small interfering RNA completely abolished the ability of unsaturated fatty acids to inhibit lipid transport activity, to reduce protein levels, and to increase serine phosphorylation of ABCA1, implicating a role for PKCdelta in the ABCA1-destabilizing effects of fatty acids. These data indicate that unsaturated fatty acids destabilize ABCA1 by activating a PKCdelta pathway that phosphorylates ABCA1 serines.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
