Journal ArticleDOI

Niemann-Pick C1 Like 1 protein is critical for intestinal cholesterol absorption.

TL;DR: It is shown that Niemann-Pick C1Like 1(NPC1L1) protein plays a critical role in the absorption of intestinal cholesterol, and resides in an ezetimibe-sensitive pathway responsible for intestinal cholesterol absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Notch signaling is essential for vascular morphogenesis in mice.

TL;DR: An essential role for the Notch signaling pathway in regulating embryonic vascular morphogenesis and remodeling is revealed and it is indicated that whereas the NotCh4 gene is not essential during embryonic development, the notch4 and Notch1 genes have partially overlapping roles during embryogenesis in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Niemann-Pick C1 Like 1 (NPC1L1) Is the Intestinal Phytosterol and Cholesterol Transporter and a Key Modulator of Whole-body Cholesterol Homeostasis

TL;DR: NPC1L1 is required for intestinal uptake of both cholesterol and phytosterols and plays a major role in cholesterol homeostasis and may be a useful drug target for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and sitosterolemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defects in development of the kidney, heart and eye vasculature in mice homozygous for a hypomorphic Notch2 mutation.

TL;DR: The Notch gene family encodes large transmembrane receptors that are components of an evolutionarily conserved intercellular signaling mechanism and the co-localization and genetic interaction of Jag1 and Notch2 imply that this ligand and receptor physically interact.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short-chain fatty acids act as antiinflammatory mediators by regulating prostaglandin E2 and cytokines.

TL;DR: It is shown that SCFAs can induce human monocyte release of PGE2 and that this effect can be enhanced in the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and it is demonstrated that P GE2 production induced by SCFA was inhibited by pertussis toxin, suggesting the involvement of a receptor-mediated mechanism.
