Effect of interleukin-6 receptor blockade on surrogates of vascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis: MEASURE, a randomised, placebo-controlled study [PDF]
Objectives The interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) blocker tocilizumab (TCZ) reduces inflammatory disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but elevates lipid concentrations in some patients.

The LDL receptor gene: a mosaic of exons shared with different proteins.
The multifunctional nature of coated pit receptors predicts that these proteins will contain multiple domains. To establish the genetic basis for these domains (LDL) receptor.

By decreasing cholesterol and lipid raft levels in the plasma membrane, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) boosts human epidermal growth factor receptor 1 and 3 (EGFR and HER3) activation, driving tumor growth and metastasis in triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Abstract Background Women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are more susceptible than men to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Signs of increased risk may already appear among adolescent girls. Objectives We explored the contribution of body composition to the development of CVD risk factors among youth with T1D.

PCSK9-mediated degradation of the LDL receptor generates a 17 kDa C-terminal LDL receptor fragment
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) binds to the LDL receptor (LDLR) at the cell surface and reroutes the internalized LDLR to intracellular degradation.

Vector Space Morphology with Linear Discriminative Learning [PDF]
This paper presents three case studies of modeling aspects of lexical processing with Linear Discriminative Learning (LDL), the computational engine of the Discriminative Lexicon model (Baayen et al., 2019). With numeric representations of word forms and meanings, LDL learns to map one vector space onto the other, without being informed about any ...

Effect of probucol on LDL oxidation and atherosclerosis in LDL receptor-deficient mice [PDF]
Probucol is a powerful inhibitor of atherosclerosis in a number of animal models. However, it is unknown whether this is due to the strong antioxidant protection of low density lipoprotein (LDL), to antioxidant effects in the artery wall, or to cellular effects not shared by other antioxidants. To investigate whether murine models are suitable to study

Towards Genetic Prediction of Coronary Heart Disease in Familial Hypercholesterolemia [PDF]
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder of lipid metabolism caused by mutations in the gene coding for the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor.

Competitive uptake of porphyrin and LDL via the LDL receptor in glioma cell lines: flow cytometric analysis [PDF]
We examined the simultaneous uptake of porphyrin and (LDL) by four established cell lines of glioma and normal ®broblastsusing ¯ow cytometry (FCM). The results indicated porphyrin and LDL showed competitive conjugation with the LDL receptor.These results

Macrophage HM13/SPP Enhances Foamy Macrophage Formation and Atherogenesis
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 ...
