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

Journal 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 ...

Identification of a residue in hepatitis C virus E2 glycoprotein that determines scavenger receptor BI and CD81 receptor dependency and sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies. [PDF]

, 2008
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is dependent on at least three coreceptors: CD81, scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), and claudin-1. The mechanism of how these molecules coordinate HCV entry is unknown.

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

PLoS 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]

PLoS 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.

Identification of novel molecular signatures of IgA nephropathy through an integrative -omics analysis [PDF]

, 2017
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most prevalent among primary glomerular diseases worldwide. Although our understanding of IgAN has advanced significantly, its underlying biology and potential drug targets are still unexplored.

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

Journal 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]

PLoS 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.

Innate scavenger receptor-A regulates adaptive T helper cell responses to pathogen infection

Nature Communications, 2017
Scavenger receptors can function as pattern recognition receptors to sense infection. Here the authors show that, in response to worm and bacterial infection, scavenger receptor class A prevents nuclear localization of IRF5 and thereby drives M2 ...

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

Journal 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

Medicina, 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).
