Abstract

Background: Cholesterol plays an important role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Results: Prion infection increased abundance of cholesterol transporter ABCA1 but reduced its functionality. Stimulation of ABCA1 reduced the conversion of prion into the pathological form. Conclusion: ABCA1 plays a key role in pathogenesis of prion disease.
