Oxidized low-density lipoprotein inhibits hepatitis C virus cell entry in human hepatoma cells. [PDF]

, 2006
Cell entry of hepatitis C virus, pseudoparticles (HCVpp) and cell culture grown virus (HCVcc), requires the interaction of viral glycoproteins with CD81 and other as yet unknown cellular factors.

Primary hepatocytes as targets for hepatitis C virus replication [PDF]

, 2008
Much of our current understanding of hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication has hailed from the use of a small number of cloned viral genomes and transformed hepatoma cell lines.

Scavenger receptor class B type I as a receptor for oxidized low density lipoprotein [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) has been established as the primary mediator of the selective transfer of lipids from HDL to mammalian cells. In addition to its role in cholesterol metabolism, SR-BI has been shown to bind apoptotic cells and thus could in theory also function as a scavenger receptor. We now show that SR-BI binds oxidized LDL (

CD36, a Member of the Class B Scavenger Receptor Family, as a Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Abstract: Interaction of advanced glycation end products (AGE) with AGE‐receptors induces several cellular phenomena relating potentially to diabetic complications. Five AGE‐receptors identified so far are RAGE (receptor for AGE), 80 K‐H, OST‐48, galectin‐3, and SR‐A (macrophage scavenger receptor type I and II).

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 ...

A class B scavenger receptor mediates the cellular uptake of carotenoids in Drosophila [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002
Carotenoids are currently being intensely investigated regarding their potential to lower the risk of chronic disease and vitamin A deficiency. Invertebrate models in which vitamin A deficiency is not lethal allow the isolation of blind but viable mutants affected in the pathway leading from dietary carotenoids to vitamin A. Using a mutant

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.

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.

Dimerization of the scavenger receptor class B type I [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
This study has examined the dimeric/oligomeric forms of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) and its alternatively spliced form, SR-BII, in a diverse group of cells and tissues: i.e., normal and hormonally altered tissues of mice and rats as well as tissues of transgenic animals and genetically altered steroidogenic and nonsteroidogenic cells ...
