MicroRNAs and High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Metabolism.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-protein-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression. They bind to the 3'-untranslated region of specific mRNAs and inhibit translation or promote mRNA degradation. Dyslipidemia/hyperlipidemia is a well-accepted risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. The pathogenesis factors involved in lipid abnormalities are being examined extensively, and...
متن کاملMicro-RNAs and High-Density Lipoprotein Metabolism.
Improved prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases is one of the challenges in Western societies, where ischemic heart disease and stroke are the leading cause of death. Early epidemiological studies have shown an inverse correlation between circulating high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and cardiovascular diseases. The cardioprotective effect of HDL is because of its abilit...
متن کاملMendelian disorders of high-density lipoprotein metabolism.
High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are a highly heterogeneous and dynamic group of the smallest and densest lipoproteins present in the circulation. This review provides the current molecular insight into HDL metabolism led by articles describing mutations in genes that have a large affect on HDL cholesterol levels through their roles in HDL and triglyceride metabolism. Using this information fro...
متن کاملRegulation of high-density lipoprotein metabolism.
There is compelling evidence from human population studies that plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol correlate inversely with cardiovascular risk. Identification of this relationship has stimulated research designed to understand how HDL metabolism is regulated. The ultimate goal of these studies has been to develop HDL-raising therapies that have the potential to decreas...
متن کاملHigh-density lipoprotein synthesis and metabolism (Review).
High density lipoproteins (HDL) are heterogeneous particles regarding their size and composition. They have vital functions in reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). RCT occurs when lipid-free apolipoprotein AI recruits cholesterol and phospholipid to form nascent HDL particles. Adenosine triphosphate‑binding cassette transporters and scavenger receptor class B type I were found to be associated ...
