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

Regulation of the angiopoietin-like protein 3 gene by LXR [PDF]
Angiopoietins are members of the vascular endothelial growth factor family. One family member, angiopoietin-like protein 3 (Angptl3), was recently shown to be predominantly expressed in the liver and to play an important role in regulating lipid metabolism.

ANGPTL7 regulates the expansion and repopulation of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells
Successful expansion of hematopoietic stem cells would benefit the use of hematopoietic stem cell transplants in the clinic. Several angiopoietin-like proteins, including angiopoietin-like 7, can support the activity of hematopoietic stem cells. However,

Angiopoietin-like protein 8 accelerates atherosclerosis in ApoE−/− mice [PDF]
Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) is a hormone involved in regulating lipid metabolism. Patients with coronary artery disease have markedly higher plasma levels of ANGPTL8 than controls; however, the role of ANGPTL8 in atherosclerosis has not been explored.

Alternate transcription of the Toll-like receptor signaling cascade [PDF]
Alternate splicing of key signaling molecules in the Toll-like receptor (Tlr) cascade has been shown to dramatically alter the signaling capacity of inflammatory cells, but it is not known how common this mechanism is. We provide transcriptional evidence

Quantitation of serum angiopoietin-like proteins 3 and 4 in a Finnish population sample
We have developed and validated quantitative ELISAs for human angiopoietin-like (ANGPTL)3 and 4 and correlated their serum levels with parameters of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.

Differential association of plasma angiopoietin-like proteins 3 and 4 with lipid and metabolic traits. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) and 4 (ANGPTL4) are secreted proteins that inhibit lipoprotein lipase in vitro. Genetic variants at the ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL4 gene loci are significantly associated with plasma lipid traits.

ABSTRACT Background & Aims: Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) drive immunosuppression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, their metabolic regulation remains poorly defined. We investigated the role of nicotinamide N‐methyltransferase (NNMT) in CAFs. Approach & Results: High NNMT expression in CAF tissues was confirmed by western blotting and
