Scavenger receptors in host defense: from functional aspects to mode of action

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2022
Scavenger receptors belong to a superfamily of proteins that are structurally heterogeneous and encompass the miscellaneous group of transmembrane proteins and soluble secretory extracellular domain.

Effect of human scavenger receptor class A overexpression in bone marrow-derived cells on lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis in low density lipoprotein receptor knockout mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Scavenger receptors, which include various classes, play an important role in atherogenesis by mediating the unrestricted uptake of modified lipoproteins, resulting in the massive accumulation of cholesteryl esters.

Scavenger receptor mediates systemic RNA interference in ticks. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
RNA interference is an efficient method to silence gene and protein expressions. Here, the class B scavenger receptor CD36 (SRB) mediated the uptake of exogenous dsRNAs in the induction of the RNAi responses in ticks.

Adaptation of hepatitis C virus to mouse CD81 permits infection of mouse cells in the absence of human entry factors [PDF]

, 2010
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) naturally infects only humans and chimpanzees. The determinants responsible for this narrow species tropism are not well defined.

Phagocytosis by macrophages depends on histamine H2 receptor signaling and scavenger receptor 1

MicrobiologyOpen, 2019
The histamine H2 receptor (H2R) is a G protein‐coupled receptor that mediates cyclic AMP production, protein kinase A activation, and MAP kinase signaling.

Cell density can affect cholesteryl ester accumulation in the human THP-1 macrophage.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
Esterified cholesterol (EC) accumulation was induced in THP-1 macrophages after exposure to acetylated LDL (acLDL), and the extent of accumulation was dependent on cell density.

Scavenger Receptors [PDF]

, 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 ...

Quantification of apolipoprotein E receptors in human brain-derived cell lines by real-time polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

, 2004
Apolipoprotein (apo) E4 is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases, compared to wild-type apoE3. The mechanism(s) is unknown.

Macrophage SR-BI regulates LPS-induced pro-inflammatory signaling in mice and isolated macrophages

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), an HDL receptor, plays a key role in reverse cholesterol transport. In mice, disruption of SR-BI results in hypersensitivity to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and bacteria-induced septic shock due to adrenal insufficiency and ...

Modulation of macrophage scavenger receptor transport by protein phosphorylation

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
The identification of three highly conserved phosphorylation sites in the cytoplasmic domain of each of the monomeric subunits of the macrophage scavenger receptor suggests that protein phosphorylation may regulate this receptor pathway.
