Background: HDL has been proposed to possess anti-inflammatory properties; however, the detail mechanisms have not been fully elucidated.
Methods: We investigated the roles of Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) in the pathogenesis of inflammation in the mouse model of diet-induced obesity and that of lipopolysaccharide-induced sepsis and the in vitro experiments. Furthermore, we analyzed serum ApoD levels in human subjects.
Results: The overexpression of human ApoD decreased the plasma IL-6 and TNF-a levels in both mice models. Lipidomics analyses demonstrated association of ApoD with increase of arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid, as well as of their metabolites, and of the anti-inflammatory molecule sphingosine 1-phosphate, and decrease of proinflammatory lysophosphatidic acids and lysophosphatidylinositol. ApoD-containing lipoproteins might directly bind eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. The modulations of the lysophosphatidic acid and sphingosine 1-phosphate levels resulted from the suppression of autotaxin expression and elevation of apolipoprotein M (ApoM), respectively. Moreover, ApoD negatively regulated osteopontin, a proinflammatory adipokine. The activation of PPARg by ApoD might suppress autotaxin and osteopontin. Serum ApoD levels were negatively correlated with the serum osteopontin and autotaxin levels and, positively with serum ApoM levels.
Conclusion: ApoD is an anti-inflammatory apolipoprotein, which modulates lipid mediators and osteopontin in an anti-inflammatory direction.

Efficient delivery of nanoparticles (NPs) as carriers for biochemical substances is crucial in various biomedical applications. In this study, we systematically investigate the interactions between glycosylated and nonglycosylated forms of Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with different polymer coatings, including polyethylene glycol (PEG) and zwitterionic polymers. Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate that glycosylation significantly enhances the adsorption behavior of ApoD on AuNP surfaces, with the extent of this enhancement being dependent on the type (especially the charge property) of the polymer coatings.

Background: Coffee and tea are widely consumed beverages, but their long-term effects on cognitive function and aging remain largely unexplored. Lifestyle interventions, particularly dietary habits, offer promising strategies for enhancing cognitive performance and preventing cognitive decline.
Methods: This study utilized data from the UK Biobank cohort ( = 12,025) to examine the associations between filtered coffee, green tea, and standard tea consumption and neural network functional connectivity across seven resting-state networks.

Aging and apolipoprotein E4 () are the two most significant risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). Compared to , disrupts cholesterol homeostasis, increases cholesteryl esters (CEs), and exacerbates neuroinflammation in brain cells, including microglia. Targeting CEs and neuroinflammation could be a novel strategy to ameliorate -dependent phenotypes.

Patients carrying APOL1 risk alleles (G1 and G2) have a higher risk of developing Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS); we hypothesized that escalated levels of miR193a contribute to kidney injury by activating renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the APOL1 milieus. Differentiated podocytes (DPDs) stably expressing vector (V/DPD), G0 (G0/DPDs), G1 (G1/DPDs), and G2 (G2/DPDs) were evaluated for renin, Vitamin D receptor (VDR), and podocyte molecular markers (PDMMs, including WT1, Podocalyxin, Nephrin, and Cluster of Differentiation [CD]2 associated protein [AP]). G0/DPDs displayed attenuated renin but an enhanced expression of VDR and Wilms Tumor [WT]1, including other PDMMs; in contrast, G1/DPDs and G2/DPDs exhibited enhanced expression of renin but decreased expression of VDR and WT1, as well as other PDMMs (at both the protein and mRNA levels).

However, the mechanism(s) by which changes in LD composition and dynamics contribute to pathophysiology of these disorders remains unclear. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a droplet associated protein with a common risk variant (E4) that confers the largest increase in genetic risk for late-onset AD.
