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

SR-BI-directed HDL-cholesteryl ester hydrolysis
We have examined the metabolic fate of HDL cholesteryl ester (CE) delivered to cells expressing scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI). Comparison of SR-BI with a related class B scavenger receptor, CD36, showed a greater uptake and a more rapid and ...

Challenges in Using Cultured Primary Rodent Hepatocytes or Cell Lines to Study Hepatic HDL Receptor SR-BI Regulation by Its Cytoplasmic Adaptor PDZK1 [PDF]
Background: PDZK1 is a four PDZ-domain containing cytoplasmic protein that binds to a variety of membrane proteins via their C-termini and can influence the abundance, localization and/or function of its target proteins.

Impaired scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI)-mediated uptake of HDL-cholesterol esters (HDL-CE) induces adrenal insufficiency in mice. Humans contain an alternative route of HDL-CE clearance, namely through the transfer by cholesteryl ester ...

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

Monoclonal anti-envelope antibody AP33 protects humanized mice against a patient-derived hepatitis C virus challenge [PDF]
End-stage liver disease caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major indication for liver transplantation. However, immediately after transplantation the liver graft of viremic patients universally becomes infected by circulating virus ...

Decreased soluble guanylate cyclase contributes to cardiac dysfunction induced by chronic doxorubicin treatment in mice [PDF]
Aims: The use of doxorubicin, a potent chemotherapeutic agent, is limited by cardiotoxicity. We tested the hypothesis that decreased soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) enzyme activity contributes to the development of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity ...

HDL-mediated cholesterol uptake and targeting to lipid droplets in adipocytes
Adipocytes express high levels of the HDL scavenger receptor class B type I in a differentiation-dependent manner. We thus have analyzed the routes of HDL cholesterol trafficking at different phases of adipocyte differentiation in the 3T3-L1 cell line ...
