Real Time Cell Analysis of Model Target Cell Lines Exposed to Purified Lipoprotein (a)

Alice Santonastaso & Claudia Scotti · Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research · 2016

Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a novel independent cardiovascular risk factor and it includes, beyond apoB100, apolipoprotein (a), whose molecular weight is dependent on the number of genetically encoded kringle IV type 2 repeats and inversely related with Lp(a) plasma concentration....

Lp(a) is a novel cardiovascular risk factor resembling an LDL particle. It includes a copy of apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)], whose molecular weight is dependent on the number of genetically encoded kringle IV type 2 (KIV-2) repeats and inversely related with Lp(a) plasma concentrat...

Lipoprotein (a) Internalization by RAW 264.7 Cells is Associated with Morphological Changes and Accumulation of Lipids Detectable by Two-photon Scanning Microscopy

Maria Valentina Pasquetto, Alice Santonastaso, Alessandra Tomaselli, Patrizia Vaghi, Elton Hasani, Luca Tartara & Claudia Scotti · Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research · 2016

Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is an independent cardiovascular risk factor and its pathogenic mechanism is not completely clear. Lp(a) has been detected in atherosclerotic plaques and macrophages are one of the major cell types involved in atherogenesis. In order to characterize intern...
