Cholesterol efflux of THP-1 macrophages and murine peritoneal macrophages was tested by fluorescence microplate technique. RT-PCR and western blot analysis were used to measure the expression of RAGE and molecules included in cholesterol efflux. After co-incubating with atorvastatin and AGEs, reduction in lipid accumulation in THP-1 macrophages and improvement of lesions complexity occurred compared with treating by AGEs only. Atorvastatin increased cholesterol efflux and ABCG1 expression of macrophages, which were reduced by AGEs, and decreased the expression of RAGE at the same time.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study demonstrated that atorvastatin can recover the deleterious ABCG1-mediated cholesterol efflux induced by AGEs in THP-1 macrophages and murine peritoneal macrophages by downregulating RAGE expression.
