[HTML][HTML] Modified low density lipoprotein enhances the secretion of bile salt-stimulated cholesterol esterase by human monocyte-macrophages: species-specific …

F Li, DY Hui - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997 - ASBMB
Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was used to study the biosynthesis of two
different cholesteryl ester hydrolases by human and mouse macrophages. Oligonucleotide
primers for bile salt-stimulated cholesterol esterase yielded positive reactions with RNA
isolated from human peripheral blood monocytes, monocyte-derived macrophages, the
human monocytic THP-1 cells, and phorbol ester-induced THP-1 macrophages. In contrast,
oligonucleotide primers for hormone-sensitive lipase yielded positive reactions only with …
