Using Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and Oil Red O staining, we found that CCDC80 overexpression in vivo significantly increased plasma lipid contents, decreased the expression and activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and accelerated the development of atherosclerosis.
In conclusion, nobiletin may alleviate lipid accumulation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by enhancing the inhibitory effect of miR-590 on LPL expression, suggesting a promising strategy for potential drug development for atherosclerosis.
We showed that VLDL remnants are the major atherogenic lipoproteins in the postprandial plasma associated with insufficient LPL activity and a causal factor in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis.
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene (rs1801177) is strongly associated with the increased progression of atherosclerosis, threatening global public health.
VLDL remnants have been shown as the major atherogenic lipoproteins in postprandial plasma associated with LPL activity as the targets for prevention of atherosclerosis.
These results demonstrate that LPL gene plays a major role in extreme HTG associated with hyperchylomicronemia, although the condition may not cause severe atherosclerosis.
It is concluded that miR-377 upregulates GPIHBP1 expression, increases the LPL binding to GPIHBP1, and reduces plasma triglyceride levels, likely through targeting DNMT1, inhibiting atherosclerosis in ApoE-KO mice.
Previous researches have indicated that macrophage-derived lipoprotein lipase (LPL) promotes atherosclerosis progression by accelerating lipid accumulation and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion.
However, it has not been fully understood whether miR-27 affects the expression of LPL and subsequent development of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E knockout (apoE KO) mice.
The effects on changes of LPL and EL mass differed depending on the lipid-lowering therapy, which may impact the prevention of atherosclerosis differently.
LPL with different distributions may exert distinct functions and have diverse roles in human health and disease with close association with atherosclerosis.
Prior studies of Mexican Americans described association of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene haplotypes with insulin sensitivity/resistance and atherosclerosis.
The data show that transgenic hLPL(S447X) on top of endogenous murine LPL reduces fasting TG levels in plasma but has no effect on atherosclerosis in LDLr-/- mice.
