ANGPTL4 mediates shuttling of lipid fuel to brown adipose tissue during sustained cold exposure
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation via cold exposure is increasingly scrutinized as a potential approach to ameliorate cardio-metabolic risk. Transition to cold temperatures requires changes in the partitioning of energy substrates, re-routing fatty ...

Expression of angiopoietin-like 4 in human gastric cancer: ANGPTL4 promotes venous invasion [PDF]
There is strong evidence that the angiopoietin family is involved in the regulation of tumour progression, cellular growth and differentiation. Recently, it has been reported that angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) in cancer cell promotes the metastatic ...

ANGPTL4 Attenuates Ang II-Induced Atrial Fibrillation and Fibrosis in Mice via PPAR Pathway
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the more significant portion of arrhythmia in clinical practice, with inflammation and fibrosis as its central pathological mechanisms.

Regulation of angiopoietin-like protein 4/fasting-induced adipose factor (Angptl4/FIAF) expression in mouse white adipose tissue and 3T3-L1 adipocytes [PDF]
Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Angptl4)/FIAF (fasting-induced adipose factor) was first identified as a target for PPAR and to be strongly induced in white adipose tissue (WAT) by fasting. Here we have examined the regulation of the expression and release of this adipokine in mouse WAT and in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Objectives: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) controls triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) catabolism. This process is mediated by the lipoprotein lipase (LPL), an enzyme that catalyzed the hydrolysis of triglyceride (TAG) in glycerol and fatty acids (FA ...

The persistent inflammatory response at the wound site is a cardinal feature of nonhealing wounds. Prolonged neutrophil presence in the wound site due to failed clearance by reduced monocyte-derived macrophages delays the transition from the inflammatory

Angiopoietin-Like Protein 4 (ANGPTL4) Induces Retinal Pigment Epithelial Barrier Breakdown by Activating Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3): Evidence from ARPE-19 Cells Under Hypoxic Condition and Diabetic Rats [PDF]
BACKGROUND Diabetic retinopathy is a primary contributor of visual impairment in adult diabetes mellitus patients. Diabetic retinopathy causes breakdown of blood retinal barrier (BRB), and leads to diabetic macular edema. Previous studies have demonstrated angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) as an effective diabetic retinopathy therapeutic target ...

Novel GPIHBP1-independent pathway for clearance of plasma TGs in Angptl4−/−Gpihbp1−/− mice
Mice lacking glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored HDL-binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1) are unable to traffic LPL to the vascular lumen. Thus, triglyceride (TG) clearance is severely blunted, and mice are extremely hypertriglyceridemic.

Angiopoietin-like 4 promotes intracellular degradation of lipoprotein lipase in adipocytes
LPL hydrolyzes triglycerides in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins along the capillaries of heart, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. The activity of LPL is repressed by angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) but the underlying mechanisms have not been fully ...

Angiopoietin-like 4 : a decade of research [PDF]
The past decade has seen a rapid development and increasing recognition of ANGPTL4 (angiopoietin-like 4) as a remarkably multifaceted protein that is involved in many metabolic and non-metabolic conditions. ANGPTL4 has been recognised as a central player
