Mevalonate improves anti-PD-1/PD-L1 efficacy by stabilizing CD274 mRNA

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2023
Mevalonate metabolism plays an important role in regulating tumor growth and progression; however, its role in immune evasion and immune checkpoint modulation remains unclear.

Apolipoprotein F is reduced in humans with steatosis and controls plasma triglyceride‐rich lipoprotein metabolism

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,

Effect of mevalonate, zoledronate and BCG on monocyte/macrophage phenotype

open access: yesСибирский научный медицинский журнал, 2023
Cells of innate immunity, mainly monocytes/macrophages, form a long-term nonspecific immunological memory during the initial encounter with the pathogen, the so-called trained immunity.

Prospects for the use of statins in antiviral therapy [PDF]

open access: yesКлиническая микробиология и антимикробная химиотерапия, 2023
Inhibitors of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase, in addition to suppressing cholesterol synthesis, have an antiviral effect. Clinical studies have shown antiviral efficacy of statins against COVID-19, HCV, HBV, RSV, HIV, influenza viruses.

Glucose restriction drives spatial reorganization of mevalonate metabolism

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Eukaryotes compartmentalize metabolic pathways into sub-cellular domains, but the role of inter-organelle contacts in organizing metabolic reactions remains poorly understood.

c-Myc Sustains Pancreatic Cancer Cell Survival and mutp53 Stability through the Mevalonate Pathway

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
It has been shown that wild-type (wt)p53 inhibits oncogene c-Myc while mutant (mut)p53 may transactivate it, with an opposite behavior that frequently occurs in the crosstalk of wt or mutp53 with molecules/pathways promoting carcinogenesis.

The mevalonate pathway in C. elegans [PDF]

open access: yesLipids in Health and Disease, 2011
The mevalonate pathway in human is responsible for the synthesis of cholesterol and other important biomolecules such as coenzyme Q, dolichols and isoprenoids. These molecules are required in the cell for functions ranging from signaling to membrane integrity, protein prenylation and glycosylation, and energy homeostasis. The pathway consists of a main

Statin-exposed vascular smooth muscle cells secrete proteoglycans with decreased binding affinity for LDL

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2003
Retention of LDL in the artery intima is mediated by extracellular matrix proteoglycans and plays an important role in the initiation of atherosclerosis.
