Primary Alcohol-Activated Human and Mouse Hepatic Stellate Cells Share Similarities in Gene-Expression Profiles. [PDF]

, 2020
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a leading cause of cirrhosis in the United States, which is characterized by extensive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins and formation of a fibrous scar.

Liver receptor homolog 1 controls the expression of the scavenger receptor class B type I [PDF]

EMBO reports, 2002
The scavenger receptor class B type I (SR‐BI), which mediates selective cellular cholesterol uptake from high‐density lipoproteins (HDLs), plays a key role in reverse cholesterol transport. The orphan nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH‐1) and SR‐BI are co‐expressed in liver and ovary, suggesting that LRH‐1 might control the expression of SR‐

Localization of the PE methylation pathway and SR-BI to the canalicular membrane

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
To better understand the regulation of biliary phospholipid and cholesterol excretion, canalicular membranes were isolated from the livers of C57BL/6J mice and abundant proteins separated by SDS-PAGE and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ...

High-Density Lipoproteins Rescue Diabetes-Impaired Angiogenesis via Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I [PDF]

Diabetes, 2016
Disordered neovascularization and impaired wound healing are important contributors to diabetic vascular complications. We recently showed that high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) enhance ischemia-mediated neovascularization, and mounting evidence suggests HDL have antidiabetic properties.

A gut feeling for drugs that have metabolic benefits

Nature Communications, 2023
Resveratrol (REV) is a natural polyphenol with anti-obesity effects. However, the mechanisms remain unclear due to its low bioavailability and the lack of defined membrane-bound or nuclear receptors.

Adenovirus-mediated hepatic overexpression of scavenger receptor class B type I accelerates chylomicron metabolism in C57BL/6J mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
The function of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) in mediating the selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters is well established. In SR-BI-deficient mice, we recently observed a delayed postprandial triglyceride (TG) response, suggesting an ...

Haptoglobin Polymorphism: A Novel Genetic Risk Factor for Celiac Disease Development and Its Clinical Manifestations [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Haptoglobin (Hp) α-chain alleles 1 and 2 account for 3 phenotypes that may influence the course of inflammatory diseases via biologically important differences in their antioxidant, scavenging, and immunomodulatory properties.

Regulation and splicing of scavenger receptor class B type I in human macrophages and atherosclerotic plaques

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2005
Background The protective role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the cardiovascular system is related to its role in the reverse transport of cholesterol from the arterial wall to the liver for subsequent excretion via the bile.

Three polymethoxyflavones from the peel of Citrus reticulata “Chachi” inhibits oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced macrophage-derived foam cell formation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Foam cell formation is the hallmark of the development and progression of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory effects of three polymethoxyflavones (PMFs), namely, tangeretin (TAN), 5,6,7,3′,4′,5′-hexamethoxyflavone ...

The role of cellular adhesion molecules in virus attachment and entry [PDF]

, 2015
As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses must traverse the host-cell plasma membrane to initiate infection. This presents a formidable barrier, which they have evolved diverse strategies to overcome.
