Multiple processes are involved in the uptake of chylomicron remnants by mouse peritoneal macrophages

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
The processes responsible for the uptake of chylomicron remnants by macrophages were investigated using freshly isolated cells from low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor and apolipoprotein E knockout mice ...

Dopamine D1-Like Receptors Suppress the Proliferation of Macrophages Induced by Ox-LDL

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016
Background/Aims: Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) induces macrophage proliferation, a key physiological process which leads to atherosclerosis.

Oxidized low-density lipoproteins and their contribution to atherosclerosis [PDF]

Exploration of Cardiology
The oxidation of lipoproteins has a key role in the development of atherosclerosis, a condition where plaque builds up in artery walls. Research shows that when low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidizes, it speeds up atherosclerosis.

Characterization of lipoprotein receptors on rat Fu5AH hepatoma cells.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1987
The rat hepatoma cell line Fu5AH has the unusual property of accumulating massive amounts of cholesteryl ester upon incubation with hypercholesterolemic serum, and especially when incubated with beta-very low density lipoproteins (beta-VLDL) from ...

Mechanism of LDL binding and release probed by structure-based mutagenesis of the LDL receptor[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
The LDL receptor (LDL-R) mediates cholesterol metabolism in humans by binding and internalizing cholesterol transported by LDL. Several different molecular mechanisms have been proposed for the binding of LDL to LDL-R at neutral plasma pH and for its ...

LDL binding to cell receptors and extracellular matrix is proatherogenic in obesity but improves after bariatric surgery

Journal of Lipid Research, 2023
Obesity is a major global public health issue involving dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, and increased risk of CVD. Weight loss reduces this risk, but the biochemical underpinnings are unclear.

Increased uptake of α-hydroxy aldehyde-modified low density lipoprotein by macrophage scavenger receptors

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Reactive aldehydes can be formed during the oxidation of lipids, glucose, and amino acids and during the nonenzymatic glycation of proteins. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) modified with malondialdehyde are taken up by scavenger receptors on macrophages ...

Compensated endocytosis of LDL by hamster cells co-expressing the two distinct mutant LDL receptors defective in endocytosis and ligand binding

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) regulates the plasma cholesterol level by mediating endocytosis of LDL. We established stable hamster cell lines expressing two LDLRs with distinct functional defects, i.e., endocytosis and ligand binding.

Thematic review series: The Immune System and Atherogenesis. Recent insights into the biology of macrophage scavenger receptors

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Scavenger receptors were originally defined by their ability to bind and internalize modified lipoproteins. Macrophages express at least six structurally different cell surface receptors for modified forms of LDL that contribute to foam cell formation in

DELP Treatment on Vision and Retinal Microcirculation in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: Report of Five Cases and Literature Review

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein filter from plasma (DELP) treatment can effectively reduce blood lipid, increase blood flow, and improve neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its effect on vision and retinal microcirculation in stroke patients has never been reported.
