Fibrates Down-regulate Hepatic Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I Protein Expression in Mice

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003
Fibrates are normolipidemic drugs used in atherogenic dyslipidemia because of their ability to raise high density lipoprotein (HDL) and decrease triglyceride levels. They exert multiple effects on lipid metabolism by activating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha), which controls the transcriptional regulation of genes ...

Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I and Hepatitis C Virus Infection of PrimaryTupaiaHepatocytes [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2005
ABSTRACTHepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic hepatitis worldwide. The study of early steps during HCV infection has been hampered by the lack of suitable in vitro or in vivo models. PrimaryTupaiahepatocytes (PTH) have been shown to be susceptible to HCV infection in vitro and in vivo.

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...

Selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters and cholesterol efflux from mouse peritoneal macrophages independent of SR-BI

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates the selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters (CEs) and facilitates the efflux of unesterified cholesterol. SR-BI expression in macrophages presumably plays a role in atherosclerosis.

Reactivity of human and porcine natural interferon-alpha producing cells to immunostimulatory DNA [PDF]

, 2003
The interferon-α (IFN-α) inducing capacity of various forms of immunostimulatory DNA and the identity of the IFN-α producing cells (IPC) were studied in human and porcine leukocytes.

The conserved scavenger receptor cysteine-rich superfamily in therapy and diagnosis [PDF]

, 2011
The scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily of soluble or membrane-bound protein receptors is characterized by the presence of one or several repeats of an ancient and highly conserved protein module, the SRCR domain.

A Physiological Microfluidic Blood–Brain‐Barrier Model for In Vitro Study of Nanoparticle Trafficking and Accumulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A human microfluidic blood‐brain barrier (mBBB) model enables spatially resolved comparison of nanoparticle trafficking. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), liposomes, and nanoplastics exhibit distinct transport and disruption behaviors, revealing that membrane composition and uptake pathways govern BBB interaction.

Role of cholesteryl ester transfer protein in selective uptake of high density lipoprotein cholesteryl esters by adipocytes

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Previous reports attributed cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)-mediated HDL cholesteryl ester (CE) selective uptake to the CETP-mediated transfer of CE from HDL to newly secreted apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, which are then ...

High Density Lipoproteins Inhibit Oxidative Stress-Induced Prostate Cancer Cell Proliferation [PDF]

, 2018
Recent evidence suggests that oxidative stress can play a role in the pathogenesis and the progression of prostate cancer (PCa). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is higher in PCa cells compared to normal prostate epithelial cells and this ...

Opinion: Gavage Administration of MXene as a Route‐Specific Alternative to Intravenous Injection into the Bloodstream of Laboratory Animals for Reducing Systemic Nanotoxicity Risks in Immunosuppression and Post‐Transplantation Models with Bile Acid Modification

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Recent studies reported immunosuppressive properties of specific MXene nanomaterials. Their intravenous injection into the bloodstream of laboratory animals has been a common delivery method to suppress systemic inflammation and prevent transplant rejection.
