Heparanase-2 protein and peptides have a protective effect on experimental glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy.
Buijsers B, Garsen M, de Graaf M, Bakker-van Bebber M, Guo C, Li X, van der Vlag J
Introduction: The endothelial glycocalyx degrading enzyme heparanase-1 (HPSE1) is a major contributor to kidney diseases, such as glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, inhibition of HPSE1 could be an interesting therapeutic strategy to treat glomerular diseases. A possible HPSE1 inhibitor is heparanase-2 (HPSE2) because HPSE2 is a structural homolog of HPSE1 without enzymatic activity. The importance of HPSE2 has been recently demonstrated in HPSE2-deficient mice, since these m...

Atorvastatin Attenuates Diet-Induced Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis in APOE*3-Leiden Mice by Reducing Hepatic Inflammation.
Inia JA, Stokman G, Pieterman EJ, Morrison MC, Menke AL, Verschuren L, Caspers MPM, Giera M, Jukema JW, van den Hoek AM, Princen HMG
Patients with metabolic syndrome are often prescribed statins to prevent the development of cardiovascular disease. Conversely, data on their effects on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are lacking. We evaluated these effects by feeding APOE*3-Leiden mice a Western-type diet (WTD) with or without atorvastatin to induce NASH and hepatic fibrosis. Besides the well-known plasma cholesterol lowering (-30%) and anti-atherogenic effects (severe lesion size -48%), atorvastatin significantly reduced...

The emerging roles of long non-coding RNA in host immune response and intracellular bacterial infections.
Arunima A, van Schaik EJ, Samuel JE
The long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved classes of non-coding regulatory transcripts of > 200 nucleotides in length. They modulate several transcriptional and post-transcriptional events in the organism. Depending on their cellular localization and interactions, they regulate chromatin function and assembly; and alter the stability and translation of cytoplasmic mRNAs. Although their proposed range of functionality remains controversial, there is increasing research ev...
