Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Apolipoprotein E3 Lipid Nanodiscs [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Nanodiscs are binary discoidal complexes of a phospholipid bilayer circumscribed by belt-like helical scaffold proteins. Using coarse-grained and all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, we explore the stability, size, and structure of nanodiscs formed between the N-terminal domain of apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3-NT) and variable number of 1,2-dimyristoyl ...

TNF receptor–related factor 3 inactivation promotes the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma through NF‐κB‐inducing kinase–mediated hepatocyte transdifferentiation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a deadly but poorly understood disease, and its treatment options are very limited. The aim of this study was to identify the molecular drivers of ICC and search for therapeutic targets.

NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma: The growing challenge

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Risk and protective factors for NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer‐related mortality and morbidity worldwide. With the obesity pandemic, NAFLD‐related HCC is contributing to the burden of disease exponentially.

VLDL and IDL apolipoprotein B-100 kinetics in familial hypercholesterolemia due to impaired LDL receptor function or to defective apolipoprotein B-100 [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Mutations in the apolipoprotein (apo) B, E (LDL) receptor gene and in the apolipoprotein B-100 gene are the cause of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and of familial defective apo B-100 (FDB), respectively. Whether these abnormalities lead to altered production or uptake of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) or intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL)

APOE polymorphism and its effect on plasma C-reactive protein levels in a large general population sample [PDF]

, 2010
The literature on association between apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene variations and plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) remains inconsistent, mainly due to low statistical power of previous studies.

Endothelial Cell-specific Loss of Breast Cancer Susceptibility Gene 2 Exacerbates Atherosclerosis [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The BReast CAncer type 2 susceptibility protein (BRCA2) responds to DNA damage by participating in homology-directed repair. BRCA2 deficiency culminates in defective DNA damage repair (DDR) that when prolonged leads to the accumulation of DNA damage causing cancer or apoptosis.

Human central nervous system (CNS) ApoE isoforms are increased by age, differentially altered by amyloidosis, and relative amounts reversed in the CNS compared with plasma [PDF]

, 2016
The risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is highly dependent on apolipoprotein-E (apoE) genotype. The reasons for apoE isoform-selective risk are uncertain; however, both the amounts and structure of human apoE isoforms have been hypothesized to lead to ...

Production of a soluble and functional recombinant apolipoproteinD in the Pichia pastoris expression system [PDF]

, 2016
ApolipoproteinD (ApoD) is a human glycoprotein from the lipocalin family. ApoD contains a conserved central motif of an 8-stranded antiparallel β-sheet, which forms a beta-barrel that can be used for transport and storage of diverse hydrophobic ligands ...

C2238/αANP modulates apolipoprotein E through Egr-1/miR199a in vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro [PDF]

, 2015
Subjects carrying the T2238C ANP gene variant have a higher risk to suffer a stroke or myocardial infarction. The mechanisms through which T2238C/αANP exerts detrimental vascular effects need to be fully clarified.

Human Placenta Secretes Apolipoprotein B-100-containing Lipoproteins [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
Supply of lipids from the mother is essential for fetal growth and development. In mice, disruption of yolk sac cell secretion of apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins results in embryonic lethality. In humans, the yolk sac is vestigial. Nutritional functions are instead established very early during pregnancy in the placenta.
