Altered gene expression of cholesterol biosynthetic enzymes and apolipoproteins in Abcc6 knockout mice. (A) Relative hepatic gene expression levels of cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes [3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (Hmgcr), farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (Fdps), farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1 (Fdft1), geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase 1 (Ggps1) and lanosterol synthase (Lss)] and (B) apolipoproteins (Apoa1, Apoa2, Apoa4, Apob, Apoc1 and Apoe) of WT and Abcc6−/− mice (6-month-old: WT n = 22, Abcc6−/− n = 25; 12-month-old: WT n = 37, Abcc6−/− n = 39). Data are fold change of mean ± SD relative to samples of WT; by Student’s t test; *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001.
