PTHrP Promotes RBP4 Expression Under the Control of PPARγ in the Kidney

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) have been associated with a worse prognosis of kidney disease. Recently, the direct interconnection between PTHrP and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), a nuclear receptor whose activation is nephroprotective, has been discovered. The aim of this

RBP4 Activates Antigen-Presenting Cells, Leading to Adipose Tissue Inflammation and Systemic Insulin Resistance [PDF]

, 2014
SummaryInsulin resistance is a major cause of diabetes and is highly associated with adipose tissue (AT) inflammation in obesity. RBP4, a retinol transporter, is elevated in insulin resistance and contributes to increased diabetes risk.

Retinol binding protein 4 in patients as a marker for acute myocardial infarction with obesity as a predisposing factor: a scoping review

Heliyon
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), a critical manifestation of ischemic heart disease, significantly contributes to global cardiovascular mortality. This study explores the role of retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), which is linked to both obesity and AMI.

Regulation of RBP4 production by selected cytokines from MacCM.

, 2013
SGBS adipocytes were treated with TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 or IL-8 for 48 hours. (A) mRNA expression of RBP4 was measured by quantitative PCR. RBP4 mRNA expression was normalized to succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit A (SDHA) and related to medium control

Association of RBP4 genetic variants with childhood obesity and cardiovascular risk factors [PDF]

, 2016
peer reviewedBackground: Recent data suggest that retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) gene variants could be associated with a risk of obesity and its co-morbidities, such as metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes ...

Human RBP4 adipose tissue expression is gender specific and influenced by leptin

, 2011
Objective  The role of retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) in human insulin resistance remains controversial, which may in part be explained by a gender-specific secretion of RBP4 in adipose tissue (AT). The aim of the study was to determine gender-specific

RBP4 Disrupts Vitamin A Uptake Homeostasis in a STRA6-Deficient Animal Model for Matthew-Wood Syndrome [PDF]

, 2008
SummaryThe cellular uptake of vitamin A from its RBP4-bound circulating form (holo-RBP4) is a homeostatic process that evidently depends on the multidomain membrane protein STRA6.

Association of baseline and longitudinal plasma retinol-binding protein 4 with all-cause mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients

Frontiers in Endocrinology
IntroductionElevated levels of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) have been linked to conditions including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and insulin resistance.
