Regulation of macrophage apoE secretion and sterol efflux by the LDL receptor

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
Factors that regulate apolipoprotein E (apoE) secretion by macrophages will have important effects on vessel wall lipid flux and atherosclerosis. Macrophages express the LDL receptor, which binds apoE with high affinity and could thereby affect the net ...

LDL-receptor mutations in Europe [PDF]

Human Mutation, 2004
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a clinical definition for a remarkable increase of cholesterol serum concentration, presence of xanthomas, and an autosomal dominant trait of either increased serum cholesterol or premature coronary artery disease (CAD). The identification of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor (LDLR) as the underlying cause

Reducing saturated fat intake is associated with increased levels of LDL receptors on mononuclear cells in healthy men and women

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
Studies with animal models suggest that saturated fatty acids raise low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels by reducing LDL receptor-mediated clearance. To examine this directly in humans, we studied the effects of lowering dietary saturated fat

Non-sterol regulation of low density lipoprotein receptor gene expression in T cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
Non-sterol regulation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene expression was examined in a mitogen-responsive human T cell line. Stimulation of the leukemic T cell line Jurkat with the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and the ...

Quantification of apolipoprotein E receptors in human brain-derived cell lines by real-time polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

, 2004
Apolipoprotein (apo) E4 is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases, compared to wild-type apoE3. The mechanism(s) is unknown.

The role of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors in managing cardiovascular risk

South African Family Practice, 2016
Hypercholesterolaemia and dyslipidaemia, marked by decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein and elevated levels of lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL), increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein, lipid mediators and statins on vascular cell interactions [PDF]

, 1999
The integrin heterodimer CD11b/CD18 (alpha M beta 2, Mac-1, CR3) expressed on monocytes or polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) is a receptor for iC3b, fibrinogen, heparin, and for intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 on endothelium, crucially ...

Sertraline Treatment Can Mimic Niemann‐Pick Type C Biomarker Profile: A Diagnostic Pitfall

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Isoproterenol decreases LDL receptor expression in rat adipose cells: activation of cyclic AMP-dependent proteolysis

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
The low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is part of a family of proteins that mediate the uptake of lipoproteins into cells. In this paper we have demonstrated the over-expression in E. coli of a rat LDL receptor fusion protein that contains the region
