1 11918623 The current project was designed to investigate the association between the polymorphisms of two PON genes and diabetes microvascular diseases (retinopathy and microalbuminuria) and any potential linkage between Met54Leu of PON1 and Cys311Ser of PON2 gene.
2 16332370 Paraoxonase 2 activity in macrophages increases under oxidative stress conditions.
3 16332370 Indeed, macrophage paraoxonase 2 activity was decreased after PJ sugars supplementation, but increased after WGJ sugars supplementation.
4 17258748 Mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) isolated from Balb-C streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, exhibited significantly higher total peroxides, lipid peroxides and paraoxonase 2 (PON2) activity by 290%, 61% and 55%, respectively, compared to non-diabetic mice.
5 17258748 In conclusion, macrophages from diabetic mice demonstrate increased oxidative stress associated with activation of NADPH oxidase and up-regulation of cellular PON2, as well as increased macrophages cholesterol uptake and biosynthesis (increased expression of CD-36 and HMG-CoA reductase).
6 18759523 However, in contrast to paraoxonase-1 and paraoxonase-3, paraoxonase-2 is not associated with high-density lipoprotein and may only exert its antioxidant function at the cellular level.
7 19439227 In the current study, we analyzed mRNA expression of PON1 as well as other members of the paraoxonase family, PON2 and PON3, in human cataractous lens samples.
8 19748094 In PON2-deficient MPM vs. control MPM, under diabetic conditions (high glucose concentration), we observed substantial increment in TG accumulation (3 fold), TG biosynthesis (2.6 fold) and microsomal diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (DGAT1) activity (+60%).
9 19748094 Apocynin, an NADPH-oxidase inhibitor, abolished the increment in MPM TG accumulation, MPM TG biosynthesis, and microsomal DGAT1 activity, as a result of PON2-deficiency, under diabetic conditions.
10 20551012 The in vitro studies on BRECs showed a dose- and time-dependent increase in the PON-HCTLase activity and mRNA expression of PON2 when exposed to HCTL and Hcys.
11 21223581 Since PON1, PON2 and PON3 share high degree of structural and functional properties, in this study, we examined the role of PON2 genetic variation on serum PON activity, risk of SLE and SLE-related clinical manifestations in a Caucasian case-control sample.
12 21223581 Our data indicate that PON2 genetic variants significantly affect variation in serum PON activity and have modest effects on risk of lupus nephritis and SLE-related immunologic disorder.
13 21053390 Chronic glucose stress was found to down-regulate catalase (CAT) and paraoxonase 2 (PON2) mRNA expression by 20% and 17%, respectively, and to decrease PON2 activity by 83% in macrophages.
14 9714608 We report the cloning and characterization of human PON2, a paraoxonase-related gene-2 that is physically linked with PON1 and PON3 on 7q2l.3.
