TLR2 looks at lipoproteins.

, 2009
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have evolved to recognize lipoproteins from diverse species of bacteria. In this issue of Immunity, Kang et al. (2009) provide insight into the mechanisms by which TLR2-TLR6 heterodimers recognize diacylated liporoteins ...

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Heterogeneity of human very low density lipoproteins by gel filtration chromatography

Journal of Lipid Research, 1972
Very low density lipoproteins were separated by gel filtration on Sepharose 4B. A decrease in mean particle diameter and flotation rate was seen with increasing elution volumes.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Metabolism of lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein B in hepatic lipase-deficient mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Mice lacking hepatic lipase have been reported to express mild hyperlipidemia characterized by increased concentrations of large high density lipoproteins, but normal concentrations of lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein B.

Lipoproteins in atherosclerosis process

, 2019
Background: Dyslipidaemias is a recognized risk factor for atherosclerosis, however, new evidence brought to light by trials investigating therapies to enhance HDL-cholesterol have suggested an increased atherosclerotic risk when HDL-C is high.

Comparing the paths of Hedgehog release in artificial and natural settings

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hh morphogens require solubilization factors to overcome their tight association with the plasma membrane and signal to distant cells, but the precise functions of these factors are controversial. Here, we use published in vivo observations as the most relevant evidence to test their suggested functions and discuss contradictions and gaps between in ...

Detection of vesicular lipoproteins in lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase-deficient plasma by 1H-NMR spectroscopy.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
The proton NMR spectra of the N-methyl choline region of normal and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT)-deficient lipoproteins and of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol 55:45 (mol %) vesicle mixtures have been examined in the presence and ...

Profiling neoadjuvant therapy response in rectal cancer using meta‐analysis of publicly available transcriptomic RNA‐seq datasets

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates publicly available transcriptomic datasets to identify molecular signatures associated with response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. By analyzing a combination of multiple cohorts with bioinformatics approaches, we reveal biological pathways and immune‐related features that may improve ...

Increased fluidity and oxidation of malarial lipoproteins: relation with severity and induction of endothelial expression of adhesion molecules

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2004
Introduction Oxidative stress has been demonstrated in malaria. The potential oxidative modification of lipoproteins derived from malaria patients was studied. These oxidized lipids may have role in pathogenesis of malaria.
