Gene Silencing of ANGPTL3 Induces PCSK9: Exploring the Biological Significance in the Hepatoma Huh7 Cell Line [PDF]
Background: Angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) are key regulators of lipid homeostasis. We have previously shown that gene silencing of ANGPTL3 significantly induces PCSK9 expression in the human ...

Background: ANGPTL3 stimulates lipolysis in adipocytes, but the underlying molecular mechanism is yet unknown. The C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain of ANGPTL3 (ANGPTL3-Fld) activates the AKT pathway in endothelial cells.

Angiopoietin-like protein 3 complete and partial deficiency markedly accelerates apolipoprotein B48 and B100 metabolism in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in humans. [PDF]
Abstract Background Angiopoietin‐like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) is a key circulating regulator of triglyceride metabolism and a promising pharmacological target. The physiological consequences of profound ANGPTL3 deficiency can be explored in individuals with inherited loss‐of‐function (LOF) variants, who show reduced lifetime risk of atherosclerotic ...

Hypertriglyceridemia: Causes, Consequences, Diagnosis, and Management. [PDF]
Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) arises from the interplay between genetic susceptibility and secondary or precipitating factors, leading to dysregulated triglyceride‐rich lipoprotein (TRL) metabolism. Increased TRL production and impaired clearance promote distinct risk phenotypes: accumulation of apolipoprotein B(apoB)‐containing TRL remnants contributes ...

Targeting ANGPTL3 and IL-33/ST2 Ameliorates Diabetic Kidney Disease by Reducing Lipotoxicity, Alleviating Inflammation and Inhibiting Fibrosis. [PDF]
Dual targeting of ANGPTL3 and IL‐33/ST2 attenuates diabetic kidney disease by reprogramming lipid–inflammatory crosstalk. This strategy reduces renal lipotoxicity, suppresses inflammatory activation, and limits fibrotic remodeling, thereby preserving kidney structure and function and highlighting a mechanism‐guided therapeutic approach for metabolic ...

Effects of fenofibrate on angiopoietin-like 3/4/8 proteins and apolipoprotein A5 [PDF]
Fenofibrate and other fibrates are peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor alpha agonists that are used to lower plasma triglyceride (TG) levels. Although fibrates are effective in decreasing TG, their ability to reduce adverse cardiovascular events ...

Associations of ANGPTL3/4/8 proteins and complexes with heart failure and heart failure mortality [PDF]
Background Angiopoietin-like 3/4/8 (ANGPTL3/4/8) proteins play critical roles in modulating lipid metabolism through calorically sensitive and tissue-specific regulation of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity via formation of ANGPTL3/8 and ANGPTL4/8 ...

SiRNA-based inactivation of Angptl3 alleviates high-fat diet-induced MAFLD and atherosclerosis in LDLR-deficient hamsters [PDF]
Background Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (Angptl3), a factor secreted by the liver, inhibits lipoprotein lipase and other lipases by forming a complex with Angptl4 and 8.

The ANGPTL3-integrin α5 axis drives retinal vascular leakage in diabetic retinopathy [PDF]
Background Breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) is a key driver of diabetic retinopathy (DR). While Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) is a clinical predictor of DR, its causal role and mechanism in retinal vascular pathology are unknown ...
