EFFECT OF β3-AR ON THE SCAVENGER RECEPTOR CLASS B TYPE 1 (SR-B1) AND ITS SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION MECHANISM IN MICE WITH APOLIPOPROTEIN E GENE KNOCKOUT [PDF]

open access: yesHeart, 2012
Objectives To investigate the effects of β3-AR on the lipids, atherosclerosis plaques, scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1) and its signal transduction in mice with apolipoprotein E gene knockout. Methods Ten C57BL/6J mice (10 weeks) were ...

Rosuvastatin Reduces Aortic Sinus and Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis in SR-B1 (Scavenger Receptor Class B Type 1)/ApoE (Apolipoprotein E) Double Knockout Mice Independently of Plasma Cholesterol Lowering [PDF]

open access: yesArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2018
Objective— Rosuvastatin has been widely used in the primary and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease. However, its antiatherosclerotic properties have not been tested in a mouse model that could mimic human coronary heart disease.

The evolution of the class A scavenger receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background The class A scavenger receptors are a subclass of a diverse family of proteins defined based on their ability to bind modified lipoproteins. The 5 members of this family are strikingly variable in their protein structure and function, raising ...

The Lymphocytic Scavenger Receptor CD5 Shows Therapeutic Potential in Mouse Models of Fungal Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Invasive fungal diseases represent an unmet clinical need that could benefit from novel immunotherapeutic approaches. Host pattern recognition receptors (e.g., Toll-like receptors, C-type lectins, or scavenger receptors) that sense conserved fungal cell ...

Three-dimensional Huh7 cell culture system for the study of Hepatitis C virus infection

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2009
Background In order to elucidate how Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) interacts with polarized hepatocytes in vivo and how HCV-induced alterations in cellular function contribute to HCV-associated liver disease, a more physiologically relevant hepatocyte culture ...

Microglial phagocytosis induced by fibrillar β-amyloid is attenuated by oligomeric β-amyloid: implications for Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesMolecular Neurodegeneration, 2011
Background Reactive microglia are associated with β-amyloid (Aβ) deposit and clearance in Alzhiemer's Disease (AD). Paradoxically, entocranial resident microglia fail to trigger an effective phagocytic response to clear Aβ deposits although they mainly ...

Macrophage receptors responsible for distinct recognition of low density lipoprotein containing pyrrole or pyridinium adducts: models of oxidized low density lipoprotein

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2000
Oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL) induced by incubation with Cu2+ ions results in the formation of a heterogeneous group of aldehydic adducts on lysyl residues (Lys) of apolipoprotein B (apoB) that are thought to be responsible for the uptake ...
