Increased ferritin gene expression in atherosclerotic lesions.
To identify genes potentially implicated in atherogenesis, a cDNA library was constructed from human atherosclerotic aorta and differentially screened with 32P-labeled-cDNAs prepared from human normal and atherosclerotic aortas. Two cDNA clones exhibiting higher hybridization to the 32P-labeled cDNAs from atherosclerotic vessels were isolated and identified to be genes encoding L-ferritin and H...
متن کاملIncreased Wnt5a mRNA Expression in Advanced Atherosclerotic Lesions, and Oxidized LDL Treated Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages.
OBJECTIVE Wnt5a is a secreted glycoprotein highly present in atherosclerotic lesions. Uptake of oxidized-low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) by monocytes/macrophages plays a critical role in atherosclerosis. The objective of this study was to determine if Wnt5a mRNA expression correlates with the severity of atherosclerotic lesions, and if, ox-LDL can induce Wnt5a mRNA in macrophages. METHODS Wn...
متن کاملExpression of LR11, a mosaic LDL receptor family member, is markedly increased in atherosclerotic lesions.
Receptors belonging to the LDL receptor (LDLR) family are thought to play key roles in lipoprotein metabolism in a variety of tissues, including the arterial wall. Here, we report that the expression of a 250-kDa mosaic LDLR family member, which we called LR11 for the presence of 11 ligand-binding repeats, is markedly induced during the process of atherogenesis in 2 animal models. Analysis by r...
متن کاملIncreased expression of heme oxygenase-1 and bilirubin accumulation in foam cells of rabbit atherosclerotic lesions.
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) catalyzes the regiospecific oxidative degradation of heme to biliverdin IXalpha, iron, and carbon monoxide. Biliverdin IXalpha is subsequently reduced to bilirubin IXalpha by biliverdin reductase. HO-1 expression is induced under various disease conditions, including atherosclerosis, but it is unknown whether HO-1 catalyzes heme breakdown in the regions at risk. Using hy...
متن کاملIncreased ADRP expression in human atherosclerotic lesions correlates with plaque instability.
UNLABELLED Adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) is intrinsically associated with the surface of lipid droplets implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. We analyzed expression of ADRP in human popliteal artery plaques. Atherosclerotic plaque tissue from the popliteal artery was obtained from 18 patients undergoing lower extremity amputation for arteriosclerosis obliterans, and...
