Influence of apolipoprotein-E gene on lipid profile, physical activity and body fat relationship
Physical activity and body fat modify lipemia, and this effect seems to be influenced by apolipoprotein-E (APOE) gene polymorphism. Thus, the purpose of this article was to review main results of studies that have analyzed the relation of APOE gene with ...

Postprandial apoE isoform and conformational changes associated with VLDL lipolysis products modulate monocyte inflammation. [PDF]
ObjectivePostprandial hyperlipemia, characterized by increased circulating very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and circulating lipopolysaccharide (LPS), has been proposed as a mechanism of vascular injury.

Production of human recombinant proapolipoprotein A-I in Escherichia coli: purification and biochemical characterization [PDF]
A human liver cDNA library was used to isolate a clone coding for apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I). The clone carries the sequence for the prepeptide (18 amino acids), the propeptide (6 amino acids), and the mature protein (243 amino acids).

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

Apolipoprotein E Isoforms and AMD [PDF]
The cholesterol transporting protein apolipoprotein E (ApoE) occurs in three allelic variants in humans unlike in other species. The resulting protein isoforms E2, E3 and E4 exhibit differences in lipid binding, integrating into lipoprotein particles and affinity for lipoprotein receptors. ApoE isoforms confer genetic risk for several diseases of aging

Effect of Amyloid Beta on Cholesterol Metabolism-Correlated microRNAs in Primary Cultured Astrocytes of C57BL/6J Mice: A Focus on CYP46A1 and APOE Genes [PDF]
Objective: The accumulation of amyloid plaques and disturbance of cholesterol homeostasis are implicated in thepathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CYP46A1) are keyproteins involved in the efflux

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein inhibits hepatitis C virus cell entry in human hepatoma cells. [PDF]
Cell entry of hepatitis C virus, pseudoparticles (HCVpp) and cell culture grown virus (HCVcc), requires the interaction of viral glycoproteins with CD81 and other as yet unknown cellular factors.
