Abstract:

Apolipoprotein M (apo M) is a recently-discovered lipoprotein-associated plasma protein,which is highly expressed in liver and kidney. The expression of apo M is directly regulated by transcription factors,hormones,cytokines and other factors. Abnormal expression of apo M occurs frequently at inflammatory status. Further research on its features,regulation and effects of apo M is needed. The pathogenesis,diagnostic methods and treatment methods should be investigated. This review focuses on the recent research progress of apo M regulation and its relationship with inflammatory diseases.

Key words: Apolipoprotein M, Regulation, Inflammatory disease
