Interaction of apolipoprotein j-amyloid beta -peptide complex with low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-2/megalin : a mechanism to prevent pathological accumulation of amyloid beta -peptide

TL;DR: The findings support the possibility that LRP-2 can act in vivo to mediate clearance of the complex from biological fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid and thereby play a role in the regulation of Abeta accumulation and indicate that apoJ facilitates Abeta1-40 binding to L RP-2 and that the receptor mediates cellular clearance of Abetas 1-40-apoJ complex leading to lysosomal degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Collective cell motion in endothelial monolayers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the widely used cellular Potts model to include active cell motility and assume a positive feedback between cell displacements and cell polarity, and the resulting model is studied with computer simulations and is shown to exhibit behavior compatible with experimental findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cubilin, the endocytic receptor for intrinsic factor-vitamin B12 complex, mediates high-density lipoprotein holoparticle endocytosis

TL;DR: A role for this receptors for cubilin is suggested in embryonic acquisition of maternal HDL and renal catabolism of filterable forms of HDL, based on findings of yolk-sac endoderm-like cells used to identify an endocytic receptor for HDL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibulin-1 suppression of fibronectin-regulated cell adhesion and motility

TL;DR: Fibulin-1 was found to inhibit extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) activation and to suppress phosphorylation of myosin heavy chain, suggesting that the motility-suppressive effects of fibulin- 1 might be FN specific.
Journal ArticleDOI

High density lipoprotein-associated sphingosine 1-phosphate promotes endothelial barrier function.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that HDL has endothelial barrier promoting activities, which are attributable to its S1P component and signaling through the S 1P1/Akt pathway.
