Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The defective gene causing autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia (ARH) encodes ARH, a clathrin-associated adaptor protein required for low-density-lipoprotein receptor endocytosis in most cells but not in skin fibroblasts. The aim here was to elucidate why ARH fibroblasts grow slowly and undergo premature senescence. METHODS AND RESULTS: Knockdown of ARH by RNA interference in IMR90 cells produces...
