Apolipoprotein A-I and Cancer [PDF]
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), the predominant protein in plasma HDL, have long been the focus of intense studies in the field of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. ApoA-I, in large part, is responsible for HDL assembly and its main atheroprotective function, that of shuttling excess cholesterol from peripheral

On the Aggregation of Apolipoprotein A-I
In vivo, apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is commonly found together with lipids in so-called lipoprotein particles. The protein has also been associated with several diseases—such as atherosclerosis and amyloidosis—where insoluble aggregates containing ApoA-I are deposited in various organs or arteries.

Denaturation of apolipoprotein A‐I and the monomer form of apolipoprotein A‐IMilano [PDF]
In this study the thermal and denaturant induced unfolding of apolipoprotein A‐I (apo A‐I) and the monomer form of apolipoprotein A‐IMilano (apo A‐IM) was followed. Dimer apo A‐IM was reduced with dithiothreitol, which was present in the protein solutions in all experiments.

Apolipoprotein A‐I induced amyloidosis [PDF]
Amyloidosis is characterized by extracellular deposits of protein fibrils with a high content of β‐sheets in secondary structure. The protein forms together with proteoglycans amyloid fibrils causing organ damage and serious morbidity. Intact apolipoprotein A‐I (apoA‐I) is an important protein in lipid metabolism regulating the synthesis and catabolism

Apolipoprotein A-I modulates HDL particle size in the absence of apolipoprotein A-II [PDF]
Human high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are a complex mixture of structurally related nanoparticles that perform distinct physiological functions. We previously showed that human HDL containing apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1) but not apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2), designated LpA-I, is composed primarily of two discretely sized populations.

Apolipoprotein A-I Mimetic Peptides [PDF]
Despite identical amino acid composition, differences in class A amphipathic helical peptides caused by differences in the order of amino acids on the hydrophobic face results in substantial differences in antiinflammatory properties. One of these peptides is an apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) mimetic, D-4F.

An Apolipoprotein A-I Mimetic Works Best in the Presence of Apolipoprotein A-I [PDF]
See related article, pages 1190–1197 Ou et al1 report that an apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) mimetic peptide, D-4F, reduced wall thickness and improved vasoreactivity in the fascialis artery (internal diameter 180 to 240 μm) in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor–null mice on a Western diet.

Apolipoprotein A-I mimetic peptides [PDF]
Recent publications reveal the mechanism of action of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) mimetic peptides to be the remarkable binding affinity that oxidized lipids have for these peptides compared with apoA-I. There was no difference in the binding affinity of oxidized lipids or in peptide efficacy in reducing inflammation and atherosclerosis in rabbits ...

Binding of apolipoprotein A-I and acetaldehyde-modified apolipoprotein A-I to liver extracellular matrix [PDF]
Apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I), a protein produced mainly by hepatocytes, is decreased in the sera of alcoholic patients with liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. To explain this decrease, we investigated possible interactions between liver extracellular matrix (ECM) and Apo A-I.
