Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 11 Promotes Proliferation in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Cancer Sci

September 2025

Section of Oncopathology and Morphological Pathology, Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Miyazaki, Miyazaki, Japan.

Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 11 (LRP11) is reported to be overexpressed in various cancers; however, its functional role in lung adenocarcinoma remains poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the tumor-promoting function of LRP11 in lung adenocarcinoma. We assessed the expression and function of LRP11 in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines through both silencing and overexpression experiments.

No association between LDL cholesterol levels and cellular membrane integrity assessed with phase angle: Insights from the MALIPID study.

Background: Although aggressive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction has demonstrated significant cardiovascular benefits, concerns have emerged regarding potential adverse effects of very low LDL-C on cellular functions, particularly membrane integrity as cholesterol constitutes an essential component of cellular membranes. The phase angle (PhA), derived from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) reflects cellular membranes integrity and nutritional status. The MALIPID study aimed to assess if LDL-C levels are associated with PhA in high cardiovascular risk patients.

Safety and Effectiveness of Statins for Primary Prevention in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: An Emulation.

J Am Coll Cardiol

September 2025

Centre for Safe Medication Practice and Research, Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China; Advanced Data Analytics for Medical Science Limited, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China

Background: There is no consensus for using statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), because no randomized controlled trial has exclusively investigated statins in this population.

Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to evaluate the long-term risks and benefits of statins for primary prevention in adults with T1DM.

Methods: We performed a sequential target trial emulation comparing statin initiation vs noninitiation using UK primary care data from the IQVIA Medical Research Data database.

Hypertriglyceridemia impairs HDL functionality, promotes macrophage metabolic activation and exacerbates antigen-induced rheumatoid arthritis in mice which can be reversed by fenofibrate treatment.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, partly attributed to altered lipid metabolism. Apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III), a key regulator of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in the plasma, has been implicated in both dyslipidemia and inflammation. In this study, we investigated the role of hypertriglyceridemia in RA using a transgenic mouse model overexpressing the human apoC-III gene (apoC-III Tg).
