To explore the mechanisms of pulmonary granuloma formation and maintenance, our laboratory has developed a multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-induced murine model of chronic granulomatous inflammation. We have demonstrated that the MWCNT model closely mimics pulmonary sarcoidosis pathophysiology, including the deficiency of alveolar macrophage ATP-binding cassette (ABC) lipid transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1. We hypothesized that deficiency of alveolar macrophage ABCA1 and ABCG1 would promote pulmonary granuloma formation and inflammation. To test this hypothesis, the effects of MWCNT instillation were evaluated in ABCA1, ABCG1, and ABCA1\/ABCG1 myeloid-specific knockout (KO) mice. Histological examination revealed significantly larger pulmonary granulomas in ABCG1-KO and ABCA1\/ABCG1 double-KO animals when compared with wild-type animals. Evaluation of BAL cells indicated increased expression of CCL2 and osteopontin, genes shown to be involved in the formation and maintenance of pulmonary granulomas. Single deficiency of alveolar macrophage ABCA1 did not affect MWCNT-induced granuloma formation or proinflammatory gene expression. These observations indicate that the deficiency of alveolar macrophage ABCG1 promotes pulmonary granulomatous inflammation and that this is augmented by additional deletion of ABCA1.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1165\/rcmb.2018-0365oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,8]],"date-time":"2019-03-08T10:15:09Z","timestamp":1552040109000},"page":"332-340","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Alveolar
