Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- C/EBPalpha induces adipogenesis through PPARgamma: a unified pathway.
- Naturally occurring mutations in the largest extracellular loops of ABCA1 can disrupt its direct interaction with apolipoprotein A-I.
- A CD36-initiated signaling cascade mediates inflammatory effects of beta-amyloid.
- Scavenger receptors class A-I/II and CD36 are the principal receptors responsible for the uptake of modified low density lipoprotein leading to lipid loading in macrophages.
- Activation of signaling pathways by putative scavenger receptor class A (SR-A) ligands requires CD14 but not SR-A.
- Cross-linking and lipid efflux properties of apoA-I mutants suggest direct association between apoA-I helices and ABCA1.
- Reduced atherosclerosis in MyD88-null mice links elevated serum cholesterol levels to activation of innate immunity signaling pathways.
- ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 contains a novel C-terminal VFVNFA motif that is required for its cholesterol efflux and ApoA-I binding activities.
- The induction of macrophage gene expression by LPS predominantly utilizes Myd88-independent signaling cascades.
- Abca7 null mice retain normal macrophage phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol efflux activity despite alterations in adipose mass and serum cholesterol levels.
- Requirement of JNK2 for scavenger receptor A-mediated foam cell formation in atherogenesis.
- Atherosclerosis and innate immune signaling.
- Loss of receptor-mediated lipid uptake via scavenger receptor A or CD36 pathways does not ameliorate atherosclerosis in hyperlipidemic mice.
- Nonparametric methods for microarray data based on exchangeability and borrowed power.
