Up-regulated miR-106b inhibits ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell apoptosis in atherosclerosis
This research aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of microRNA (miR)-106b in cell apoptosis of atherosclerosis (AS). Human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were divided into control group, oxidized-low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL) group, miR-106b NC+

PCSK9: A Key Target for the Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) [PDF]
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), as a vital modulator of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) , is raised in hepatocytes and released into plasma where it binds to LDL receptors (LDLR), leading to their cleavage.

Effect of irisin on ox-LDL-induced inflammation in HUVECs.
(A) HUVECs were exposed to different concentrations of ox-LDL (20–100 μg/mL) for 24h, and the cell viability was assessed through an MTT assay. (B) HUVECs were treated with different concentrations of irisin (10, 20, and 40 nM) with or without 80 μg/mL ...

In silico and in vitro exploration of a tyrosinase for biocatalytic production of catechols
Tyrosinase from Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum is a promising biocatalyst for producing valuable catechols from monophenol substrates. This tyrosinase is uniquely suited to this due to its high monophenolase : diphenolase ratio. We combined in silico docking and in vivo kinetic characterisation of this tyrosinase with 11 industrially relevant monophenols,

Relationship between behcets disease and oxidant and antioxidant markers
Behcets disease is known as a chronic and inflammatory vasculitis with multiple system and organ involvement. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between BD and oxidative stress by evaluating the total antioxidant status (TAS), total ...

The pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), like that of atherosclerosis, involves lipid accumulation, inflammation and fibrosis. Recent studies suggest that oxidized LDL (oxLDL) may be a risk factor for NASH, but oxLDL levels were not ...

Sertraline Treatment Can Mimic Niemann‐Pick Type C Biomarker Profile: A Diagnostic Pitfall
ABSTRACT Background Oxysterols (cholestane‐3β,5α,6β‐triol and 7‐ketocholesterol) and N‐palmitoyl‐O‐phosphocholineserine (PPCS) are sensitive biomarkers for Niemann‐Pick disease type C (NPC) screening. However, false‐positive results occur, with a biomarker profile suggestive of NPC despite the absence of pathogenic variants in genes involved in NPC or ...
