Previous studies have demonstrated that inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-
1β) promote lipid accumulation in human mesangial cells (HMC) by dysregulating the
expression of lipoprotein receptors. Intracellular lipid accumulation is governed by both
influx and efflux; therefore, the effect of IL-1β on the efflux of lipid from HMC was
investigated. IL-1β was shown to inhibit 3 H-cholesterol efflux from HMC and increase total
intracellular cholesterol concentration, probably as a result of reduced expression of the …
