Cholesterol metabolism and tumor [PDF]

Journal of Zhejiang University (Medical Sciences), 2021
Cholesterol is an important lipid in the body of mammals and an essential component of membrane structures. Cholesterol homeostasis is critical for the maintenance of cellular and body activities, and is mainly regulated by the balance of cholesterol biosynthesis and the exogenous cholesterol uptake. Aberrantly regulated cholesterol metabolism promotes

microRNAs and cholesterol metabolism [PDF]

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010
Cholesterol metabolism is tightly regulated at the cellular level. In addition to classic transcriptional regulation of cholesterol metabolism (e.g. by SREBP and LXR), members of a class of non-coding RNAs termed microRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been identified to be potent post-transcriptional regulators of lipid metabolism genes, including ...

Dendrogenin A drives LXR to trigger lethal autophagy in cancers

Nature Communications, 2017
Dendrogenin A, cholesterol metabolite, has tumor suppressive properties but the mechanisms are unknown. Here the authors show that Dendrogenin A can induce autophagy-mediated cell death in both melanoma and acute myeloid leukaemia.

Cholesterol Metabolism and Immunity [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2014
A study in mice implicates a cholesterol derivative in damping down the inflammatory response mediated by interleukin-1β and explaining, at least in part, the immunosuppressive effect of type I interferon, which is used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

Sorting through the extensive and confusing roles of sortilin in metabolic disease

Journal of Lipid Research, 2022
Sortilin is a post-Golgi trafficking receptor homologous to the yeast vacuolar protein sorting receptor 10 (VPS10). The VPS10 motif on sortilin is a 10-bladed β-propeller structure capable of binding more than 50 proteins, covering a wide range of ...

Pregnancy and the Biliary Tract

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2000
Pregnancy induces many physiological changes, some of which may have pathological results. In population studies, gallstones were found in 6.5% to 8.4% of nulliparous women, and in 18.4% to 19.3% of women with two to three or more pregnancies.

Biliary cholesterol crystallization characterized by single-crystal cryogenic electron diffraction

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Cholesterol crystals are the building blocks of cholesterol gallstones. The exact structure of early-forming crystals is still controversial. We combined cryogenic-temperature transmission electron microscopy with cryogenic-temperature electron ...

Long Term Anticoagulation (4–16 Years) Stops Progression of Idiopathic Hip Osteonecrosis Associated with Familial Thrombophilia

Advances in Orthopedics, 2015
In 6 patients with familial thrombophilia (5 Factor V (FV) Leiden heterozygotes, 1 with resistance to activated protein C (RAPC)), we prospectively assessed whether continuous longterm (4–16 years) anticoagulation would prevent progression of idiopathic ...

HPLC Analysis and Skin Whitening Effects of Umbelliprenin-containing Extracts of Anethum Graveolens, Pimpinella Anisum, and Ferulago Campestris

Molecules, 2019
Umbelliprenin has recently been shown to have great potential as a skin whitening agent. Wishing to investigate the same effect in plant species known to biosynthesize this coumarin, three plants belonging to the Apiaceae family, namely Anethum ...
