Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) exists in a high-activity (HA-PLTP) and a low-activity form (LA-PLTP) in the circulation. LA-PLTP is associated with apoA-I while the HA-PLTP complex is enriched with apoE. To study the interaction of PLTP with apolipoproteins, we carried out surface plasmon resonance analyses. These demonstrated a concentration-dependent binding of recombinant human PLTP, which represents an active PLTP form, and LA-PLTP to apoE, apoA-I, and apoA-IV within a nanomolar K(D) range. To study whether LA-PLTP can be transformed into an active form, we incubated it in the presence of proteoliposomes containing apoE, apoA-I or apoA-IV. The apoE proteoliposomes induced a concentration-dependent activation of LA-PLTP. ApoA-IV proteoliposomes also activated LA-PLTP in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas apoA-I proteoliposomes had no such effect. These observations suggest that PLTP is capable of interacting with apoE, apoA-I, and apoA-IV, and that these interactions regulate PLTP-activity levels in plasma.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) is a common liver and health issue associated with heightened cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, with Cytokeratin 18 (CK-18) as a marker of liver injury across the MASLD to cirrhosis spectrum. Autoantibodies against apolipoprotein A-1 (AAA-1s) predict increased CVD risk, promoting atherosclerosis and liver steatosis in apoE-/- mice, though their impact on liver inflammation and fibrosis remains unclear. This study examined AAA-1s' impact on low-grade inflammation, liver steatosis, and fibrosis using a MASLD mouse model exposed to AAA-1s passive immunization (PI).

Recent gene expression studies have revealed about 10 different states of microglia, some of which are characteristic for Alzheimer-like amyloid plaque pathology. However, it is not presently known how these translate into morphological features that would reflect microglia interaction with amyloid plaques. With optimized conditions for confocal microscopy in amyloid plaque forming APP/PS1 transgenic mice we reveal new details of how microglia processes interact with amyloid plaques.

Background: Apolipoproteins and cortical morphology are closely associated with memory complaints, and both may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Objective: To examine whether apolipoprotein B (ApoB), apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA1), and their ratio (ApoB/ApoA1) are associated with cortical morphology in patients with memory complaints.
Methods: Ninety-seven patients underwent neuropsychological testing, measurements of ApoB, ApoA1, ApoB/ApoA1, plasma Alzheimer's biomarker, apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotyping, and 3T structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) scans.

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal and rapidly progressive motoneuron degenerative disorder. There are still no drugs capable of slowing disease evolution or improving life quality of ALS patients. Thus, autologous stem cell therapy has emerged as an alternative treatment regime to be investigated in clinical ALS.

Background And Aims: The structure-function relationships of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subpopulations are not well understood. Our aim was to examine the interrelationships between HDL particle proteome and HDL functionality in subjects with and without coronary heart disease (CHD).
Methods: We isolated 5 different HDL subpopulations based on charge, size, and apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1) content from the plasma of 33 overweight/obese CHD patients and 33 age-and body mass index (BMI)-matched CHD-free subjects.
