Comparative studies of retinol transport in plasma

Journal of Lipid Research, 1973
The comparative immunology and biochemistry of plasma retinol transport were studied using radioimmunoassays previously developed for human and for rat retinol-binding protein (RBP).

Serum amyloid A is a retinol binding protein that transports retinol during bacterial infection

eLife, 2014
Retinol plays a vital role in the immune response to infection, yet proteins that mediate retinol transport during infection have not been identified.

Metabolism and secretion of retinol transport complex in acute renal failure

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
Tissue uptake and distribution of retinol from circulatory vitamin A transport complex was studied in order to determine the origin of the increased serum retinol in rats with short-term acute renal failure.

The transport of retinol in human plasma [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1969
Evidence in support of the view that tryptophanrich prealbumin [l] may serve as the specific transport protein for retinol in human plasma has previously been reported by Alvsaker, Haugli and Laland [2]. Since thyroxine is transported partly by this protein [3] , thyroxine and retinol would then share the same transport protein. In order to investigate

Liver Retinol Transporter and Receptor for Serum Retinol-binding Protein (RBP4) [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Vitamin A (retinol) is absorbed in the small intestine, stored in liver, and secreted into circulation bound to serum retinol-binding protein (RBP4). Circulating retinol may be taken up by extrahepatic tissues or recycled back to liver multiple times before it is finally metabolized or degraded.

Transport of retinol in the duck plasma [PDF]

Journal of Biosciences, 1981
Retinol-binding protein and prealbumin were isolated from duck plasma by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose-and DEAE-Sephadex A-50, gel filtration on Sephadex G- 100 and preparative Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weights of the retinolbinding protein-prealbumin complex, prealbumin and retinol-binding protein were found to be 75,000 ...

TNF receptor–related factor 3 inactivation promotes the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma through NF‐κB‐inducing kinase–mediated hepatocyte transdifferentiation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a deadly but poorly understood disease, and its treatment options are very limited. The aim of this study was to identify the molecular drivers of ICC and search for therapeutic targets.

Genetic predisposition to porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder: A functional genomic‐based, multigenerational family study

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...

Interleukin‐18 signaling promotes activation of hepatic stellate cells in mouse liver fibrosis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Interleukin‐18 signaling promotes activation of hepatic stellate cells in mouse liver fibrosis. Abstract Background and Aims Nucleotide‐binding oligomerization domain‐like receptor‐family pyrin domain‐containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation has been shown to result in liver fibrosis.

CD8+ T cell memory is sustained in mice by hepatic stellate cells

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
HSC role in memory CD8+ T cell maintenance. Abstract Background and Aims Long‐lasting immunological memory is the ultimate goal of vaccination. Homeostatic maintenance of memory CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (MemCD8TCs) is thought to be mediated by IL‐15/IL‐15R heterodimer (15HD)‐expressing myeloid cells.
