Large impact of low concentration oxidized LDL on angiogenic potential of human endothelial cells: a microarray study. [PDF]
Oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) is a key factor in atherogenesis. It is taken up by endothelial cells primarily by ox-LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1). To elucidate transcriptional responses, we performed microarray analysis on human coronary artery endothelial cells ...

Coaxing the LDL Receptor Family into the Fold [PDF]
Low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family members control diverse developmental and physiological pathways. In this issue of Cell, both Culi and Mann and Hsieh et al. report on Boca/MESD, a highly conserved chaperone required for transport of LDLR family proteins to the cell surface.

Atomistic characterization of the SiO2 high-density liquid/low-density liquid interface [PDF]
The equilibrium silica liquid-liquid interface between the high-density liquid (HDL) phase and the low-density liquid (LDL) phase is examined using molecular-dynamics simulation. The structure, thermodynamics, and dynamics within the interfacial region are characterized in detail and compared with previous studies on the liquid-liquid phase transition (

Lipoprotein lipase-facilitated uptake of LDL is mediated by the LDL receptor [PDF]
LPL mediates the uptake of lipoproteins into different cell types independent of its catalytic activity. The mechanism of this process and its physiological relevance are not clear. Taking into account the importance of the endothelial barrier for lipoprotein uptake, in vitro studies with primary aortic endothelial cells from wild-type and low density ...

Regulation of hepatic LDL receptors by mTORC1 and PCSK9 in mice.
Individuals with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of atherosclerosis. One factor underlying this is dyslipidemia, which in hyperinsulinemic subjects with early type 2 diabetes is typically characterized by increased VLDL secretion but normal LDL ...

Thoroughly analysis of the phase diagram for the Bell-Lavis model: An entropic simulational study [PDF]
In this work, we investigate the Bell-Lavis model using entropic simulations for several values of the energy parameters. The $T\times\mu$ phase diagram and the ground state configurations are analyzed thoroughly. Besides, we examine the particle density and specific heat behavior for different values of the chemical potential $\mu$ as functions of ...

Lowering plasma cholesterol by raising LDL receptors--revisited.
Thirty-one years ago, Mabuchi and colleagues1 reported in the Journal that a statin called compactin reduced plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels by 29% in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. This drug inhibits an

Rationale: Human studies and mouse models have provided evidence for angiotensin II (Ang II)–based mechanisms as an underlying cause of aneurysms localized to the ascending aorta.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a member of the proteinase K subfamily of subtilases that reduces the number of LDL receptors (LDLRs) in liver through an undefined posttranscriptional mechanism.

PCSK9 is not involved in the degradation of LDL receptors and BACE1 in the adult mouse brain
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a secreted protein that regulates hepatic low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) levels in humans.
