TLDR
Data indicate that stimulation of the cAMP-PKA-CREB pathway enhances rat SR-BIpr activity and substantiate the role of CREB as an intermediary in this process.

SR-BI: Linking Cholesterol and Lipoprotein Metabolism with Breast and Prostate Cancer.

TL;DR: The role of SR-BI during tumor development and malignant progression is discussed and insights into the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of the SCARB1 gene are provided.

increases the severity of polycystic ovary formation in vivo

TL;DR: It is reported that aged mice specifically lacking the PKBβ (also known as Akt2) isoform that is crucial for insulin signaling develop increased testosterone levels and ovarian cysts, both of which are also observed in insulin-resistant PCOS patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signal Transduction Pathways Provide Opportunities to Enhance HDL and apoAI-Dependent Reverse Cholesterol Transport

TL;DR: This review aims to summarize the current knowledge of HDL- and apoA-I -induced signal transduction pathways that are linked to cholesterol efflux and discusses the underlying mechanisms that could couple ligand binding to SR-BI and ABCA1 with signaling and cholesterol export.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of PKBβ/Akt2 predisposes mice to ovarian cyst formation and increases the severity of polycystic ovary formation in vivo

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of deregulated insulin signaling in the ovary is considered an important factor in the development of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which can result in infertility.
Journal ArticleDOI

SR-BI as a target of natural products and its significance in cancer.

TL;DR: The purpose is to discuss the relationship between SR-BI protein and cancer, and the molecular mechanisms regulatingSR-BI expression, as well as to provide an overview of natural products that regulate SR- BI expression.

Measurement of protein using bicinchoninic acid

TL;DR: This new method maintains the high sensitivity and low protein-to-protein variation associated with the Lowry technique and demonstrates a greater tolerance of the bicinchoninate reagent toward such commonly encountered interferences as nonionic detergents and simple buffer salts.
Journal ArticleDOI

A receptor-mediated pathway for cholesterol homeostasis.

TL;DR: The approach was to apply the techniques of cell culture to unravel the postulated regulatory defect in FH, which led to the discovery of a cell surface receptor for a plasma cholesterol transport protein called low density lipoprotein (LDL) and to the elucidation of the mechanism by which this receptor mediates feedback control of cholesterol synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Scavenger Receptor SR-BI as a High Density Lipoprotein Receptor

TL;DR: It is shown that the class B scavenger receptor SR-BI is an HDL receptor, which mediates selective cholesterol uptake by a mechanism distinct from the classic LDL receptor pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Improved Diphenylamine Method for the Estimation of Deoxyribonucleic Acid

TL;DR: In this article, the Burton diphenylamine method was used to estimate extreme sensitivity coupled with a low reagent blank, which was simplified and the blank considerably reduced and the sensitivity increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

CREB regulates hepatic gluconeogenesis through the coactivator PGC-1

TL;DR: Fasting hyperglycaemia* is strongly correlated with type II diabetes, so the results suggest that the activation of PGC-1 by CREB in liver contributes importantly to the pathogenesis of this disease.
