Immunological Outcomes Mediated Upon Binding of Heat Shock Proteins to Scavenger Receptors SCARF1 and LOX-1, and Endocytosis by Mononuclear Phagocytes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Heat shock proteins (HSP) are a highly abundant class of molecular chaperones that can be released into the extracellular milieu and influence the immune response. HSP release can occur when cells undergo necrosis and exude their contents.

Selective Uptake of Carboxylated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Class A Type 1 Scavenger Receptors and Impaired Phagocytosis in Alveolar Macrophages

Nanomaterials, 2020
The production and applications of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have increased despite evidence that MWNTs can be toxic. Recently, we reported that the binding of Pluronic® F-108 (PF108)-coated carboxylated MWNTs (C-MWNTs) to macrophages is ...

Polymorphism of class A scavenger receptors in C57BL/6 mice1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Scavenger receptors class A (SR-A) have been hypothesized to regulate the development of atherosclerotic lesions through recognition of modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) and macrophage adhesion to substrata.

Scavenger receptor class B type I affects cholesterol homeostasis by magnifying cholesterol flux between cells and HDL

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
Results from several laboratories clearly indicate that expression of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) enhances the bidirectional flux of cholesterol between cells and lipoproteins.

The hepatic uptake of VLDL in lrp−ldlr−/−vldlr−/− mice is regulated by LPL activity and involves proteoglycans and SR-BI

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
LPL activity plays an important role in preceding the VLDL remnant clearance via the three major apolipoprotein E (apoE)-recognizing receptors: the LDL receptor (LDLr), LDL receptor-related protein (LRP), and VLDL receptor (VLDLr).

Cellular receptors for enterovirus A71

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2020
Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) is one of the major causative agents of hand, foot, and mouth disease. EV-A71 infection is sometimes associated with severe neurological diseases such as acute encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, and cardiopulmonary failure ...

Lipoprotein metabolism by macrophages from atherosclerosis-susceptible White Carneau and resistant Show Racer pigeons.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988
The presence of specific receptors for the metabolism of acetylated low density lipoprotein (AcLDL) and beta-migrating very low density lipoprotein (beta-VLDL) was demonstrated in thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal macrophages from both atherosclerosis ...

Expression and microvillar localization of scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR-BI) and selective cholesteryl ester uptake in Leydig cells from rat testis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
: This study investigates the relationship between the high density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor (scavenger receptors, SR-BI and SR-BII), selective lipoprotein-cholesteryl ester uptake, and testosterone production in Leydig cells of control ...

Absorption and lipoprotein transport of sphingomyelin

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Dietary sphingomyelin (SM) is hydrolyzed by intestinal alkaline sphingomyelinase and neutral ceramidase to sphingosine, which is absorbed and converted to palmitic acid and acylated into chylomicron triglycerides (TGs).

The ectodomains of the lymphocyte scavenger receptors CD5 and CD6 interact with tegumental antigens from Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato and protect mice against secondary cystic echinococcosis.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
BackgroundScavenger Receptors (SRs) from the host's innate immune system are known to bind multiple ligands to promote the removal of non-self or altered-self targets.
