Proprotein convertases in high-density lipoprotein metabolism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexins (PCSKs) are a serine endopeptidase family. PCSK members cleave amino acid residues and modulate the activity of precursor proteins.

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Differences in GlycA and lipoprotein particle parameters may help distinguish acute kawasaki disease from other febrile illnesses in children. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BackgroundGlycosylation patterns of serum proteins, such as α1-acid glycoprotein, are modified during an acute phase reaction. The response of acute Kawasaki disease (KD) patients to IVIG treatment has been linked to sialic acid levels on native IgG ...

Inverse Association Between Serum Non–High‐Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Incident Hemodialysis

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background There is accumulating evidence that serum levels of non–high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (non–HDL‐C) are a more accurate predictor of cardiovascular outcomes when compared with low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Coronary artery endothelial dysfunction is positively correlated with low density lipoprotein and inversely correlated with high density lipoprotein subclass particles measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
OBJECTIVE: The association between cholesterol and endothelial dysfunction remains controversial. We tested the hypothesis that lipoprotein subclasses are associated with coronary endothelial dysfunction.

High-density lipoprotein, beta cells, and diabetes . [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) exert a series of potentially beneficial effects on many cell types including anti-atherogenic actions on the endothelium and macrophage foam cells. HDLs may also exert anti-diabetogenic functions on the beta cells of the

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Glycomic analysis of high density lipoprotein shows a highly sialylated particle. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Many of the functional proteins and lipids in high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are potentially glycosylated, yet very little is known about the glycoconjugates of HDL.
