Overexpression of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase in transgenic rabbits prevents diet-induced atherosclerosis.
Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is a key plasma enzyme in cholesterol and high density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. Transgenic rabbits overexpressing human LCAT had 15-fold greater plasma LCAT activity that nontransgenic control rabbits. This degree of overexpression was associated with a 6.7-fold increase in the plasma HDL cholesterol concentration in LCAT transgenic rabbits. On a...
متن کاملOverexpression of lipoprotein lipase in transgenic Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits improves hyperlipidemia and obesity.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the rate-limiting enzyme for the hydrolysis of the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and plays a critical role in lipoprotein and free fatty acid metabolism. Genetic manipulation of LPL may be beneficial in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemias, but it is unknown whether increased LPL activity may be effective in lowering plasma cholesterol and improving insulin resist...
متن کاملPhospholamban overexpression in mice causes a centronuclear myopathy-like phenotype
Centronuclear myopathy (CNM) is a congenital myopathy that is histopathologically characterized by centrally located nuclei, central aggregation of oxidative activity, and type I fiber predominance and hypotrophy. Here, we obtained commercially available mice overexpressing phospholamban (Pln(OE)), a well-known inhibitor of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases (SERCAs), in their slow-twi...
متن کاملAntizyme Overexpression in Transgenic Mice Reduces Cell
Antizyme (AZ) is known to be a regulator of polyamine metabolism that inhibits ornithine decarboxylase activity and polyamine transport, thus restricting polyamine levels. Transgenic mice with AZ expression targeted to the basal cell layer of the forestomach epithelium by the keratin 5 promoter were used to investigate whether AZ overexpression inhibited uncontrolled cell proliferation in zinc-...
متن کاملOverexpression of arginine decarboxylase in transgenic plants.
The activity of arginine decarboxylase (ADC), a key enzyme in plant polyamine biosynthesis, was manipulated in two generations of transgenic tobacco plants. Second-generation transgenic plants overexpressing an oat ADC cDNA contained high levels of oat ADC transcript relative to tobacco ADC, possessed elevated ADC enzyme activity and accumulated 10-20-fold more agmatine, the direct product of A...
