TMEM97 and PGRMC1 do not mediate sigma-2 ligand-induced cell death [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Sigma-2 receptors have been implicated in both tumor proliferation and neurodegenerative diseases. Recently the sigma-2 receptor was identified as transmembrane protein 97 (TMEM97).

Identification of a novel Arg→Cys mutation in the LDL receptor that contributes to spontaneous hypercholesterolemia in pigs

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1999
We previously carried out genetic and metabolic studies in a partially inbred herd of pigs carrying cholesterol-elevating mutations. Quantitative pedigree analysis indicated that apolipoprotein (apo)B and a second major gene were responsible for the ...

Bcl-2 protein family: Implications in vascular apoptosis and atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Apoptosis has been recognized as a central component in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, in addition to the other human pathologies such as cancer and diabetes.

2D-NMR reveals different populations of exposed lysine residues in the apoB-100 protein of electronegative and electropositive fractions of LDL particles[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
Several potentially atherogenic LDL subfractions present low affinity for the LDL receptor, which result in impaired plasma clearance. Electronegative LDL [LDL(−)] is one of these minor subfractions and the molecular basis for its reduced receptor ...

Targeting mitochondrial 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) regulates macrophage cholesterol efflux and lipid phenotype [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The aim of the present study was to establish mitochondrial cholesterol trafficking 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) as a potential therapeutic target, capable of increasing macrophage cholesterol efflux to (apo)lipoprotein acceptors.

Regulatory effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on hepatic LDL uptake in the hamster and rat.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1995
These studies were undertaken to investigate the mechanisms involved in the regulation of hepatic low density lipoprotein (LDL) transport by n-3 fatty acids in the hamster and rat. Animals were fed n-3 or n-6 fatty acids with a cholesterol-free, very-low-

Modified low density lipoprotein isolated from atherosclerotic lesions does not cause lipid accumulation in aortic smooth muscle cells.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1991
Foam cells in atherosclerotic lesions are derived not only from blood monocytes but also from smooth muscle cells (SMC). To better understand the mechanisms by which SMC may become lipid-laden, we have studied the catabolism by cultured rabbit aortic SMC

An evaluation of risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular events during tocilizumab therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Objective: To evaluate associations between lipid levels, inflammation, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity, at baseline and during treatment, with the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in tocilizumab‐treated patients with RA.

The apoE isoform binding properties of the VLDL receptor reveal marked differences from LRP and the LDL receptor

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) associates with lipoproteins and mediates their interaction with members of the LDL receptor family. ApoE exists as three common isoforms that have important distinct functional and biological properties.
