Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. In this study, we aimed to explore whether some genetic variants of the human IDOL gene were associated with CAD among Chinese population in Xinjiang.
Methods: We designed two independent case-control studies. The first one included in the Han population (448 CAD patients and 343 controls), and the second one is the Uygur population (304 CAD patients and 318 controls). We genotyped three SNPs (rs2072783, rs2205796, and rs909562) of the IDOL gene.
Results: Our results revealed that, in the Han female subjects, for rs2205796, the distribution of alleles, dominant model (TT vs. GG + GT) and the additive model (GG + TT vs. GT) showed significant differences between CAD patients and the control subjects (P = 0.048, P = 0.014, and P = 0.032, respectively).
Conclusions: The rs2205796 polymorphism of the IDOL gene is associated with CAD in the Chinese Han female population in Xinjiang, China.

Background: Given the potential role of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in stimulating energy expenditure, activating BAT can be an effective anti-obesity treatment. Here, we aimed to use adenoviruses to establish the effect of the inducible degrader of the low density lipoprotein receptor (IDOL) in the formation of BAT.
Methods: IDOL or green fluorescent protein was overexpressed by adenovirus and injected into the scapula of C57BL/6J mice and fed with high-fat diet for 12 weeks.

Background: Changing cell-type proportions can confound studies of differential gene expression or DNA methylation (DNAm) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We examined how cell-type proportions derived from the transcriptome versus the methylome (DNAm) influence estimates of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially methylated positions (DMPs).
Methods: Transcriptome and DNAm data were obtained from PBMC RNA and DNA of Kenyan children (n = 8) before, during, and 6 weeks following uncomplicated malaria.
Functional interrogation of cellular Lp(a) uptake by genome-scale CRISPR screening.

An elevated level of lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), in the bloodstream has been causally linked to the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and calcific aortic valve stenosis. Steady state levels of circulating lipoproteins are modulated by their rate of clearance, but the identity of the Lp(a) uptake receptor(s) has been controversial. In this study, we performed a genome-scale CRISPR screen to functionally interrogate all potential Lp(a) uptake regulators in HuH7 cells.

Dysregulated lipid metabolism networks modulate T-cell function in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

Altered cholesterol, oxysterol, sphingolipid, and fatty acid concentrations are reported in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain tissue of people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and are linked to disease progression and treatment responses. CD4 + T cells are pathogenic in RRMS, and defective T-cell function could be mediated in part by liver X receptors (LXRs)-nuclear receptors that regulate lipid homeostasis and immunity. RNA-sequencing and pathway analysis identified that genes within the 'lipid metabolism' and 'signalling of nuclear receptors' pathways were dysregulated in CD4 + T cells isolated from RRMS patients compared with healthy donors.
