Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mRNA abundance in human adipose tissue: relationship to cell size and membrane cholesterol content.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has a well-defined role in plasma neutral lipid transport. CETP synthesized by human adipose tissue may contribute to the plasma CETP pool. CETP mRNA abundance increases in subcutaneous adipose tissue in response

Nanostructured 316L Stainless Steel Stent Surfaces Improve Corrosion Resistance, and Enhance Endothelization and Hemocompatibility

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of nanostructured surface modification on corrosion resistance, HUVEC functions, and platelet interactions of 316L SS for cardiovascular stents. Nanostructured surfaces enhanced HUVEC proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis‐related gene expression while reducing platelet adhesion and hemolysis.

D4F alleviates macrophage-derived foam cell apoptosis by inhibiting CD36 expression and ER stress-CHOP pathway[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
This study was designed to explore the protective effect of D4F, an apoA-I mimetic peptide, on oxidized LDL (ox-LDL)-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) homologous protein (CHOP) pathway-mediated apoptosis in ...

Isolation and characterization of an apoA-II-containing lipoprotein (LP-A-II:B complex) from plasma very low density lipoproteins of patients with Tangier disease and type V hyperlipoproteinemia.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
Previous studies have shown that very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) from patients with Tangier disease are less effective as a substrate for human milk lipoprotein lipase (LPL) than VLDL from normal controls as assessed by measuring the first order ...

Mechanical Interactions Impact the Functions of Immune Cells and Their Application in Immunoengineering

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This review covers the mechanical forces experienced by immune cells through cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix interactions and how these forces influence their receptors and functions. These relationships between forces and cellular functions can be exploited using engineering techniques to modify the physical properties of materials for novel ...

Effect of dietary cholesterol and taurocholate on cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and hepatic LDL receptors in inbred mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
Compared to BALB/c mice, inbred C57BL/6 mice are more susceptible to developing fatty streak atherosclerotic lesions when fed a cholesterol-rich diet containing taurocholate. We examined the metabolic basis for the taurocholate requirement.

Sepsis and obesity: a scoping review of diet-induced obesity murine models

Intensive Care Medicine Experimental
Background Sepsis, the life-threatening host response to infection, is a major cause of mortality. Obesity increases vulnerability to sepsis; however, some degree of obesity may be protective, called the “obesity paradox”.

NLRP3 Inflammasome and the IL-1 Pathway in Atherosclerosis.

Circulation Research, 2018
Inflammation is an important driver of atherosclerosis, the underlying pathology of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, therapeutic targeting of inflammatory pathways is suggested to improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with cardiovascular ...
