A complement-associated protein SP-40,40, which is a normal constituent of human blood, binds to the main apoprotein, apoA-I, of high density lipoprotein (HDL). This protein, which is identical to apolipoprotein J, was compared to another apoA-I binding protein purified from human placenta. Immunologically the two apoA-I binding proteins are different.

FGF21 and APOA1 mRNA-based therapies for the treatment of experimental acute pancreatitis.

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) presents a significant clinical challenge with limited therapeutic options. The complex etiology and pathophysiology of AP emphasize the need for innovative treatments. This study explores mRNA-based therapies delivering fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) and apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1), alone and in combination, for treating experimental AP.

The heat-induced natural egg yolk is a discontinuous object formed by the accumulation of yolk spheres. However, the reason why yolk spheres form individual microgels rather than continuous gels has not been elucidated. This study investigated the different gelation behaviors in the yolk sphere exterior (EYSE) and the yolk sphere interior (EYSI) by using 4D-DIA proteomics, electron microscopy, and multispectral techniques.

: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a monogenic dyslipidemia that leads to early cardiovascular events. Subclinical atherosclerosis refers to the formation of atheromatous plaques in arterial beds before any clinical events. In our study, we investigated the presence, extent, and independent predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis among patients diagnosed with FH.

Objective: Recent studies suggested that the medical control of atherogenic lipoproteins is not sufficient for stroke prevention. A low apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) level may play a crucial role in the anti-atherogenic effects of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and may also be associated with symptomatic vulnerable plaques in carotid artery stenosis. Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between apoA-I levels and the status of carotid artery stenosis.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between apolipoproteins (ApoA1, ApoB, and the ApoB/A1 ratio) and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and impaired kidney function, assessing their potential role in secondary prevention.
Method: A prospective cohort of 1,640 patients with impaired kidney function who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention in China was analyzed. Patients were categorized based on the measurements of ApoA1, ApoB, and ApoB/A1 ratio.
