Lipoprotein receptor interactions are not required for monocyte oxidation of LDL.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1995
Upon activation, human peripheral blood monocytes and U937 cells oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL), converting it to a cytotoxin. The oxidized LDL loses its ability to interact specifically with the native LDL (apoB/E) receptor and becomes a ligand ...

Class A scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1) restricts hepatitis C virus replication by mediating toll-like receptor 3 recognition of viral RNAs produced in neighboring cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Persistent infections with hepatitis C virus (HCV) may result in life-threatening liver disease, including cirrhosis and cancer, and impose an important burden on human health.

Scavenger receptors in human airway epithelial cells: role in response to double-stranded RNA.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Scavenger receptors and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) cooperate in response to danger signals to adjust the host immune response. The TLR3 agonist double stranded (ds)RNA is an efficient activator of innate signalling in bronchial epithelial cells.

Protective or deleterious role of scavenger receptors SR-A and CD36 on host resistance to Staphylococcus aureus depends on the site of infection. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human opportunistic pathogen responsible for a broad spectrum of infections ranging from benign skin infection to more severe life threatening disorders (e.g.

Structures and high and low affinity ligand binding properties of murine type I and type II macrophage scavenger receptors

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1993
Macrophage scavenger receptors have been implicated in various macrophage-associated processes, including atherosclerosis and clearance of bacterial endotoxin. They bind to a wide variety of polyanionic ligands and display complex binding characteristics.

Defective expression of scavenger receptors in celiac disease mucosa. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Celiac disease (CD) is a gluten sensitive enteropathy characterized by a marked infiltration of the mucosa with immune cells, over-production of inflammatory cytokines and epithelial cell damage.

CXCR7 functions as a scavenger for CXCL12 and CXCL11. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
CXCR7 (RDC1), the recently discovered second receptor for CXCL12, is phylogenetically closely related to chemokine receptors, but fails to couple to G-proteins and to induce typical chemokine receptor mediated cellular responses. The function of CXCR7 is

Factors regulating the activities of the low density lipoprotein receptor and the scavenger receptor on human monocyte-macrophages.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1981
Improved techniques of cell isolation resulted in 90 to 100 million monocytes from a single donor. Addition of low density lipoprotein (LDL) to to cultures of these cells resulted in the down regulation of LDL receptor activity.

Hydroxychloroquine Effects on THP-1 Macrophage Cholesterol Handling: Cell Culture Studies Corresponding to the TARGET Cardiovascular Trial

open access: yesMedicina, 2022
Background and Objectives: Cardiovascular (CV) risk is elevated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA patient plasma causes pro-atherogenic derangements in cholesterol transport leading to macrophage foam cell formation (FCF).

Scavenger Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Scavenger receptors constitute a large family of evolutionally conserved protein molecules that are structurally and functionally diverse. Although scavenger receptors were originally identified based on their capacity to scavenge modified lipoproteins, these molecules have been shown to recognize and bind to a broad spectrum of ligands, including ...
