Angiopoietin-like protein 8 promotes apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells through activating p53 signaling pathway [PDF]
Objective To investigate the mechanism by which angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) regulates vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMCs) apoptosis. Methods An in vitro abdominal aortic aneurysm cell model was established by stimulating human VSMCs(HUSMCs ...

Vaccinia virus protein A46R targets multiple Toll-like-interleukin-1 receptor adaptors and contributes to virulence [PDF]
Viral immune evasion strategies target key aspects of the host antiviral response. Recently, it has been recognized that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have a role in innate defense against viruses.

Angiopoietin-like 3 inhibition of endothelial lipase is not modulated by angiopoietin-like 8
High plasma triglyceride (TG) levels and low HDL-C levels are risk factors for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Both plasma TG and HDL-C levels are regulated in part by the circulating inhibitor, angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3). ANGPTL3 inhibits

New molecular mediators in tumor angiogenesis [PDF]
Angiogenesis is essential for tumor growth and progression. It has been demonstrated that tumor growth beyond a size 1 to 2 mm3 requires the induction of new vessels.

Phosphorylation of mitotic kinesin-like protein 2 by polo-like kinase 1 is required for cytokinesis [PDF]
We have investigated the function of mitotic kinesin-like protein (MKlp) 2, a kinesin localized to the central spindle, and demonstrate that its depletion results in a failure of cleavage furrow ingression and cytokinesis, and disrupts localization of ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor beta/delta (PPARbeta/delta) but not PPARalpha serves as a plasma free fatty acid sensor in liver [PDF]
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) is an important transcription factor in liver that can be activated physiologically by fasting or pharmacologically by using high-affinity synthetic agonists.
