Apolipoprotein E isoform‐dependent microglia migration

Isoform-specific effects of apolipoprotein E on secretion of inflammatory mediators in adult rat microglia.

Inflammation mediated by activated microglia cells has been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) [1]. Microglia are the immune cells in the central nervous system, and when activated they secrete the lipid-derived mediator prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), the cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), and other inflammatory mediators. Apolipoprotein E isoform 4 (apoE4), coded f...

Apolipoprotein E Polymorphism in an Iranian Hypercholestrolemic Population

Apolipoprotein E (apo E) is a structural constituent of several serum lipoprotein classes. It plays an important role in lipid metabolism by acting as a ligand for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and chylomicron remnant receptors. Three common alleles called e2, e3 and e4 have been described, which code for three protein isoforms (E2, E3 and E4). The polymorphism is clinically significant, and it...
