Quantification of apolipoprotein E receptors in human brain-derived cell lines by real-time polymerase chain reaction

, 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.

Blockade of scavenger receptor class B type I raises high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels but exacerbates atherosclerotic lesion formation in apolipoprotein E deficient mice

Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2006
Abstract Recent accumulating evidence supports the concept that raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL) may represent an additional therapeutic target for prevention of cardiovascular disease. Scavenger receptor class B type I plays a critical role in plasma HDL cholesterol concentration and structure.

The Significance of Oxidized Low-Density Lipoproteins and Receptors LOX-1 in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Сахарный диабет
INTRODUCTION. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) occurs in 8.5% of the adult population with a tendency to increase. A characteristic feature of T2DM is dyslipidemia. One of its manifestations includes accumulation of increased concentration of oxidized low-

Inflammatory components in human Alzheimer's disease and after active amyloid-β42 immunization

, 2013
Inflammatory processes are important in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and in response to amyloid-β immunotherapy. We investigated the expression of multiple inflammatory markers in the brains of 28 non-immunized patients with Alzheimer's ...

Contribution of receptors to 'Neisseria meningitidis' interactions with human macrophages [PDF]

, 2004
N. meningitidis is a gram-negative human pathogen that invades human cells, evades immune responses and goes on to cause meningococcal disease, sepsis and death.

Conserved domains of the class A scavenger receptors: evolution and function.

, 2009
The class A scavenger receptors are phagocytic pattern recognition receptors that are well represented in vertebrate genomes. The high level of conservation among vertebrates implies that this is an evolutionarily conserved family of receptors and ...

Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors and Lipoprotein Metabolism [PDF]

, 2008
Plasma lipoproteins are responsible for carrying triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood and ensuring their delivery to target organs. Regulation of lipoprotein metabolism takes place at numerous levels including via changes in gene transcription.

Adaptation of hepatitis C virus to mouse CD81 permits infection of mouse cells in the absence of human entry factors

, 2010
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) naturally infects only humans and chimpanzees. The determinants responsible for this narrow species tropism are not well defined.

Identification and characterization of murine SCARA5, a novel class A scavenger receptor that is expressed by populations of epithelial cells

, 2006
Epithelia are positioned at a critical interface to prevent invasion by microorganisms from the environment. Pattern recognition receptors are important components of innate immunity because of their ability to interact with specific microbe-associated ...

Inhibition of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Erk1/2 Promotes Protein Degradation of ATP Binding Cassette Transporters A1 and G1 in CHO and in HuH7 cells.

, 2013
Signal transduction modulates expression and activity of cholesterol transporters. We recently demonstrated that the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade regulates protein stability of Scavenger Receptor BI (SR-BI) through ...
