Transcriptional regulation of HMG-CoA synthase and HMG-CoA reductase genes by human ACBP.
The acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) is an ubiquitary expressed multi-functional protein which regulates basic cellular functions such as fatty acid and steroid metabolism. Since ACBP is described to interact with the transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF-4alpha), we investigated the role of human ACBP on transcriptional regulation of the putative HNF-4alpha target gene HMG...
متن کاملHMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and renal function.
Experimental Evidence for a Role of Dyslipidemia in Renal Injury and for a Renal Protective Effect of Statins T he presence of lipids in renal cells upregulates intracellular signaling pathways involved in inflammatory and fibrogenic responses, both of which are components of progressive renal injury. Lipids activate various growth factors that cause mesangial cell proliferation. Mesangial cell...
متن کاملPharmacology of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors
Pleiotropic effects are now described for the 3-hydroxy-3methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (or statins) that might have utility in the context of chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. Here we discuss the pharmacology and established uses of statins and in this context describe potential anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory effects. An extensive in vitro data set defines roles...

متن کاملRegulation of HMG-CoA reductase activity in plants.
This brief review summarizes the current literature on the regulation of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) in plants. The mevalonate pathway, which starts with the synthesis of mevalonate by HMGR, has more branch pathways in plants than in most other organisms, leading to a tremendous variety of isoprenoid products. Evidence suggests that HMGR is an important control point for the synthesis of many of t...
