Diving Deeper Into Mechanisms of Acrylamide‐Induced Toxicity: RNA Sequencing Reveals Transcriptomic Alteration and Retrotransposon Expression in Drosophila melanogaster

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the inevitability of human and animal exposure to acrylamide, there is increasing concern regarding its potential health risks. While a number of molecular mechanisms have been proposed, the complexity of acrylamide toxicological pathways and interactions remains incompletely characterized.

Targeted delivery of rosuvastatin enhances treatment of hyperhomocysteinemia-induced atherosclerosis using macrophage membrane-coated nanoparticles

Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis
Rosuvastatin (RVS) is an excellent drug with anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering properties in the academic and medical fields. However, this drug faces a series of challenges when used to treat atherosclerosis caused by hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy ...

Identification of Yeast Protein Sequences With Similarity to the ESCRT‐III Protein Snf7

Yeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT‐III) is a membrane remodeling complex involved in a large number of cellular processes. It appears to perform an essential function in eukaryotes, since to date no eukaryotic organism completely devoid of ESCRT‐III has been found.

ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 gene polymorphisms and serum lipid levels in young Greek nurses

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2011
Objective The ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is essential protein involved in lipid metabolism. The present study was undertaken to detect the possible association of polymorphisms in the ABCA1 gene [rs2230806 (R219K) and rs2230808 (R1587K)]

Retinal dystrophies simulating geographic atrophy: A diagnostic challenge

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Geographic atrophy (GA) is the chronic loss of retinal pigment epithelium, photoreceptors and choriocapillaris, marking the dry late stage of age‐related macular degeneration (AMD). GA prevalence is expected to rise in the upcoming decades. Advanced GA leads to central scotomas, reducing visual acuity and quality of life, potentially resulting

Regulation and Mechanisms of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1-Mediated Cellular Cholesterol Efflux [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2003
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays a major role in cholesterol homeostasis and HDL metabolism. ABCA1 mediates cellular cholesterol and phospholipid efflux to lipid-poor apolipoproteins, and upregulation of ABCA1 activity is antiatherogenic.

Apolipoprotein A-II alters the proteome of human lipoproteins and enhances cholesterol efflux from ABCA1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2017
HDLs are a family of heterogeneous particles that vary in size, composition, and function. The structure of most HDLs is maintained by two scaffold proteins, apoA-I and apoA-II, but up to 95 other “accessory” proteins have been found associated with the ...

Genome‐wide association and interaction analysis for proliferative retinopathy in adults with type 2 diabetes born during famine: The DOLCE study in Ukraine

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is one of the leading causes of blindness in working‐age adults. We have previously shown that the risk of PDR is significantly elevated in individuals with intrauterine exposure to famine. However, the genetic mechanisms mediating this association remain unknown.

Apolipoprotein A-I activates Cdc42 signaling through the ABCA1 transporter

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
It has been suggested that the signal transduction initiated by apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) activates key proteins involved in cholesterol efflux. ABCA1 serves as a binding partner for apoA-I, but its participation in apoA-I-induced signaling remains ...

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and
