Macrophage HM13/SPP Enhances Foamy Macrophage Formation and Atherogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Previous research suggests that AIP may prevent atherogenic foamy macrophage formation. This study reveals that AIP, via its chaperone interaction with AHR, inhibits p38‐c‐JUN‐mediated transactivation of HM13, which encodes the ERAD protease HM13/SPP. HM13/SPP promotes foamy macrophage formation in addition to atherogenesis and plaque foamy macrophage ...

Prevention of low density lipoprotein aggregation by high density lipoprotein or apolipoprotein A-I.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1990
We have shown previously that low density lipoprotein (LDL) subjected to vortexing forms self-aggregates that are avidly phagocytosed by macrophages. That phagocytic uptake is mediated by the LDL receptor.

Gut Microbiota Modulation by Inulin Improves Metabolism and Ovarian Function in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work proposes a novel strategy targeting gut microbiota for managing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Inulin, a gut microbiota modulator, notably boosts the growth of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs)‐producers, represented by Bifidobacterium, thereby improving glucolipid metabolism and ovarian function of PCOS through suppressing the inflammatory ...

Selective and independent associations of phospholipid transfer protein and hepatic lipase with the LDL subfraction distribution

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), hepatic lipase (HL), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) have all been reported to be intricately involved in HDL metabolism but the effect of PLTP on the apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins relative to that of HL and ...

Depletion of Hepatic SREBP2 Protects Against Hypercholesterolemia and Atherosclerosis through the ANGPTL3‐LPL Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a novel crosstalk between hepatic SREBP2‐mediated cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and peripheral lipoprotein lipase‐mediated lipolysis pathway in the regulation of systemic lipid metabolism. Notably, the lipid‐lowering effects of SREBP2 inhibition are independent of a functional LDL receptor, highlighting the potential of acute ...

Apolipoprotein M expression increases the size of nascent preβ HDL formed by ATP binding cassette transporter A1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a novel apolipoprotein that is reportedly necessary for preβ HDL formation; however, its detailed function remains unknown. We investigated the biogenesis and properties of apoM and its effects on the initial steps of nascent ...

Pathways-driven Sparse Regression Identifies Pathways and Genes Associated with High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Two Asian Cohorts [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Standard approaches to analysing data in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ignore any potential functional relationships between genetic markers. In contrast gene pathways analysis uses prior information on functional structure within the genome to identify pathways associated with a trait of interest. In a second step, important single nucleotide

An Agrin–YAP/TAZ Rigidity Sensing Module Drives EGFR‐Addicted Lung Tumorigenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study identifies agrin‐EGFR mechanotransduction as a critical driver of lung adenocarcinoma which enhances EGFR signaling through an integrin‐FAK‐actomyosin dependent positive feedback on YAP/TAZ ‐TEAD in response to matrix stiffness. Targeting this oncogenic loop through combinatorial treatments inhibits lung cancer due to agrin impairment.

Homocysteine Promotes the Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis through the Circ‐PIAS1‐5/miR‐219a‐2‐3p/TEAD1 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A model is schematically represented for the major molecular mechanisms by which homocysteine (Hcy) accelerates the nuclear export of circ‐PIAS1‐5, which regulates atherosclerosis by acting as a competing endogenous RNA for miR‐219a‐2‐3p. Hcy enrichment of circ‐PIAS1‐5 leads to YTHDC1 binding to circ‐PIAS1‐5 and promotes its intracellular localization ...

A Latent Mixture Model for Heterogeneous Causal Mechanisms in Mendelian Randomization [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Mendelian Randomization (MR) is a popular method in epidemiology and genetics that uses genetic variation as instrumental variables for causal inference. Existing MR methods usually assume most genetic variants are valid instrumental variables that identify a common causal effect.
