Effects of Purslane Supplementation on Blood Lipid Profile: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Journal of Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: Blood lipid profiles are known as one of the most important factors in health disorders such as obesity and diabetes, which mostly end in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as coronary heart disease (CHD). Purslane, as an edible herbal plant

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

A Weighted U Statistic for Genetic Association Analyses of Sequencing Data [PDF]

Genet Epidemiol. 2014 Dec;38(8):699-708, 2015
With advancements in next generation sequencing technology, a massive amount of sequencing data are generated, offering a great opportunity to comprehensively investigate the role of rare variants in the genetic etiology of complex diseases. Nevertheless, this poses a great challenge for the statistical analysis of high-dimensional sequencing data. The

Loss of primary cilia promotes EphA2‐mediated endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in the ovarian tumor microenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of primary cilia in endothelial cells promotes EndMT and vascular abnormalities in the ovarian tumor microenvironment through EphA2 activation. Using human samples, in vitro models, and endothelial‐specific Kif3a‐knockout mice, we show that primary cilia loss drives the acquisition of cancer‐associated fibroblast‐like phenotypes, thereby ...

Bifurcation analysis of a free boundary model of plaque formation associated with the cholesterol ratio [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The low-density lipoprotein (LDL)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol ratio has been shown a high correlation with the cardiovascular risk assessment. Is it possible to quantify the correlation mathematically? In this paper, we develop a bifurcation analysis for a mathematical model of the plaque formation with a free boundary in the early stage

Iron‐dependent lysosomal LDL oxidation induces the expression of scavenger receptor A in human THP‐1 monocytes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In human monocytic cells THP‐1, a limited uptake of native—not oxidized—LDL/VLDL induced expression of scavenger receptor A and cellular adhesion. Induction was inhibited by lysosomotropic (WR‐1065) and lipophilic (BHT) antioxidants and by siRNAs against ferritinophagy.

Oxysterols in Vascular Cells and Role in Atherosclerosis [PDF]

Implication of Oxysterols and Phytosterols in Aging and Human Diseases, 1440, Springer International Publishing, pp.213-229, 2024, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology
Atherosclerosis is a major cardiovascular complication of diseases associated with elevated oxidative stress such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In these situations, low density lipoproteins (LDL) undergo oxidation. Oxidized LDL display proatherogenic activities through multiple and complex mechanisms which lead to dysfunctions of vascular ...

The role of circular RNAs in regulating cytokine signaling in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cytokines present in the tumor microenvironment fuel cancer development. Aberrant expression of circRNAs contributes to cancer progression. Cytokines are involved in regulating circRNA biogenesis. Furthermore, aberrantly expressed circRNAs regulate the expression of ligands, receptors, and downstream effectors involved in cytokine signaling to promote ...

SR-BI-mediated selective lipid uptake segregates apoA-I and apoA-II catabolism

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
The HDL receptor scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) binds HDL and mediates the selective uptake of cholesteryl ester. We previously showed that remnants, produced when human HDL2 is catabolized in mice overexpressing SR-BI, become incrementally ...

Role of Gamma Glutamyl Transferase in the Diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome in Patients with Hypothyroidism [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2019
Introduction: Hypothyroidism is the most prevalent thyroid disorder in India that affects one in ten adults. Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is an ectopic enzyme associated with oxidative stress in various diseased conditions.
