| Abstract |
Angiopoietin Like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) is at present considered as a central molecular target for therapy designed to reduce atherogenic lipids and atherosclerosis. However, concerns about the safety of inactivation of ANGPTL3 in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) especially myocardial infarction (MI) have been raised. ANGPTL3 is reported to possess proangiogenic property. Angiogenesis is critical to the recovery of MI. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have multiple differentiation potential and play an important role in the angiogenesis post-MI. Promoting the function of EPCs could facilitate the angiogenesis and recovery of MI. Previous studies have shown that ANGPTL3 can promote angiogenesis in corneal of rats and promote angiogenesis of endothelial cells by binding to integrin ανβ3 receptors and promoting phosphorylation of protein kinase B (AKT). Our institution found that activated AKT can up-regulate the expression of microRNA-126 (miR-126), which can promote the proangiogenic ability of EPCs. The integrin ανβ3 receptors and AKT also express in EPCs and are closely related to proangiogenic function. Therefore, we hypothesized that ANGPTL3 could improve function of EPCs by binding to integrin ανβ3 receptors and up-regulating miR-126 expression via activating AKT, thus promoting the formation of new blood vessels, attenuating myocardial ischemia and improving heart function. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 November 2018.
All research outputs
#18,646,262
of 23,099,576 outputs
Outputs from Lipids in Health and Disease
#991
of 1,461 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#254,363
of 330,798 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Lipids in Health and Disease
#23
of 38 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,099,576 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,461 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.1. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,798 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 38 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
