High impact information on APOE

  • Canine smooth muscle cells (SMCs), cultured from amyloid-affected brain blood vessels accumulate Alzheimer amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) intracellularly, either spontaneously or after treatment with apolipoprotein E (apoE) [1].
  • The present study shows that adipocytes isolated from canine omental fat tissue interact specifically with high density lipoprotein subfractions lacking or enriched in apolipoprotein E, namely canine high density lipoprotein-2 (HDL2) and HDLc, respectively [2].
  • Circular dichroic spectra of apolipoprotein E in model complexes and cholesterol-rich lipoproteins: lipid contribution [3].
