Neutralizing Antibody-Resistant Hepatitis C Virus Cell-to-Cell Transmission [PDF]

, 2010
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can initiate infection by cell-free particle and cell-cell contact-dependent transmission. In this study we use a novel infectious coculture system to examine these alternative modes of infection.

Scavenger receptor-BI is a receptor for lipoprotein(a)

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) is a multi-ligand receptor that binds a variety of lipoproteins, including high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL), but lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has not been investigated as a possible ...

Menopause leads to elevated expression of macrophage-associated genes in the aging frontal cortex: rat and human studies identify strikingly similar changes. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND The intricate interactions between the immune, endocrine and central nervous systems shape the innate immune response of the brain. We have previously shown that estradiol suppresses expression of immune genes in the frontal cortex of ...

Scavenger receptor class B type I reduces cholesterol absorption in cultured enterocyte CaCo-2 cells1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates selective uptake of cholesteryl esters from HDL as well as efflux of cellular free cholesterol to HDL. It is unclear whether the receptor is involved in intestinal cholesterol absorption.

The therapeutic potential of the filarial nematode-derived immunodulator, ES-62 in inflammatory disease [PDF]

, 2010
The dramatic recent rise in the incidence of allergic or autoimmune inflammatory diseases in the West has been proposed to reflect the lack of appropriate priming of the immune response by infectious agents such as parasitic worms during childhood ...

Differentiation-dependent expression and localization of the class B type I scavenger receptor in intestine

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
The current study used the human Caco-2 cell line and mouse intestine to explore the topology of expression of the class B type I scavenger receptor (SR-BI) in intestinal cells.

Hepatitis C virus relies on lipoproteins for its life cycle [PDF]

, 2016
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects over 150 million people worldwide. In most cases, HCV infection becomes chronic causing liver disease ranging from fibrosis to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

ApoE-dependent sterol efflux from macrophages is modulated by scavenger receptor class B type I expression

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Macrophages express a number of proteins involved in sterol efflux pathways, including apolipoprotein E (apoE) and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI).

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 ...

Absence of HDL cholesteryl ester uptake in mice via SR-BI impairs an adequate adrenal glucocorticoid-mediated stress response to fasting

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Receptor-mediated cholesterol uptake has been suggested to play a role in maintaining the adrenal intracellular free cholesterol pool and the ability to produce hormones.
