The nine lives of ACAT inhibitors.
Atherosclerosis is the product of excessive lipid accumulation and inflammation in the artery wall. The lipid that tops every list of suspects is cholesterol, which is the primary lipid in low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Cholesterol exists either as a simple molecule or as cholesterol esters, in which the hydroxyl group is linked to a fatty acyl moiety. In cells, cholesterol esters are synthesi...
متن کاملThe Nine Lives of Cosmic Rays in Galaxies
Cosmic-ray astrophysics has advanced rapidly in recent years, and its impact on other astronomical disciplines has broadened. Many new experiments measuring these particles, both directly in the atmosphere or space and indirectly via γ rays and synchrotron radiation, have widened the range and quality of the information available on their origin, propagation, and interactions. The impact of low...
متن کاملNatural killer T cell-a cat o' nine lives!
The cylindromatous gene Cyld encodes a deubiquitylase (DUB), which regulates NF-jB activation. CYLD deficiency results in faulty innate and adaptive immune systems in mice, the basis for which remains incompletely understood. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Sun and colleagues report that CYLD-deficient mice develop the innatelike lymphocyte called natural killer T (NKT) cells but lose them t...
متن کاملNine lives: plasticity among T helper cell subsets
The division of labor among two types of T helper (Th) subsets, first described over 20 yr ago, has been buffeted by the discovery of new subsets and new cytokines that can be coaxed out of T cells with increasing disregard for the subset of origin. Although Th17 cells and regulatory T (T reg) cells are widely accepted subsets, and others are being proposed, their plasticity is difficult to rec...
متن کاملPyripyropenes, novel ACAT inhibitors produced by Aspergillus fumigatus. IV. Structure elucidation of pyripyropenes M to R.
Six new pyripyropenes, M to R, were isolated from the ethyl acetate extracts of the jar fermentation broth of Aspergillus fumigatus FO-1289-2501. Structural elucidation indicated that all the pyripyropenes have the same pyridino-alpha-pyrone sesquiterpene core as pyripyropenes A to L. Among them pyripyropene M showed the most potent inhibition against acyl-CoA : cholesterol acyltransferase acti...
