PG-cholesterylamine was reported by Zhang et al. to be an excellent fluorescent probe for monitoring cholesterol efflux. Reverse cholesterol transport is the process by which extrahepatic cells, including macrophage-derived foam cells in arterial atherosclerotic plaque, transport excessive cholesterol back to the liver for bile acid synthesis and excretion, thus lowering the peripheral lipid burden. PG-cholesterylamine is a derivative of N-alkyl-3β-cholesterylamine labeled with a fluorescein derivative, Pennsylvania Green (PG). Compared with the traditional radioisotope-based assay, this fluorescent probe gave similar results in the presence of known modulators of cholesterol efflux, such as cyclic AMP, and different cholesterol acceptors. When the fluorescent probe was employed in a high-throughput screening format, a variety of chemicals and bioactive compounds with known and unknown effects on cholesterol efflux could be tested simultaneously by plate-reader in a short period of time. Treatment of THP-1-derived macrophages with inhibitors of the membrane transporter ATP-binding cassette A1, such as glyburide or a specific antibody, significantly reduced the export of this fluorescent compound, indicating that ATP-binding cassette A1 represents the primary mediator of its cellular efflux. PG-cholesterylamine provides a safe, sensitive and reproducible alternative to radioactive assays in efflux experiments.

Images
Figure 1. RAW 264.7 cells were incubated with 10 uM of PG-Chol for 24 hours in a 96-well plate. The cells were then incubated in 1% FBS medium for over night. The next day, the cholesterol efflux was induced by 200 ug/mL HDL for different period of time. The cell culture medium was collected and fluorescence was measured by a microplate reader at 490/520 nm.
