Regulation and splicing of scavenger receptor class B type I in human macrophages and atherosclerotic plaques

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2005
Background The protective role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the cardiovascular system is related to its role in the reverse transport of cholesterol from the arterial wall to the liver for subsequent excretion via the bile.

Hepatocyte-Specific SR-BI Gene Transfer Corrects Cardiac Dysfunction in Scarb1-Deficient Mice and Improves Pressure Overload-Induced Cardiomyopathy

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2018
Objective— We investigated the hypothesis that HDL (high-density lipoprotein) dysfunction in Scarb1−/− mice negatively affects cardiac function both in the absence and in the presence of pressure overload.

Scavenger receptor-BI is a receptor for lipoprotein(a)

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) is a multi-ligand receptor that binds a variety of lipoproteins, including high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL), but lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has not been investigated as a possible ...

Hepatitis C virus infection and related liver disease: the quest for the best animal model [PDF]

, 2013
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) making the virus the most common cause of liver failure and transplantation.

The predominance of one of the SR-BI isoforms is associated with increased esterified cholesterol levels not apoptosis in mink testis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) contributes to HDL-mediated cellular cholesterol efflux and is a phagocytosis-inducing phospholipid phosphatidylserine receptor in rat Sertoli cells, whereas the spliced variant of the SR-B gene, SR-BII, is ...

High Density Lipoproteins Inhibit Oxidative Stress-Induced Prostate Cancer Cell Proliferation [PDF]

, 2018
Recent evidence suggests that oxidative stress can play a role in the pathogenesis and the progression of prostate cancer (PCa). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is higher in PCa cells compared to normal prostate epithelial cells and this ...

Hepatic cholesterol and bile acid metabolism and intestinal cholesterol absorption in scavenger receptor class B type I-deficient mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
The scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), which is expressed in the liver and intestine, plays a critical role in cholesterol metabolism in rodents.

Regulation of scavenger receptor class B type I in hamster liver and Hep3B cells by endotoxin and cytokines

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
Multiple changes in HDL metabolism occur during infection and inflammation that could potentially impair the antiatherogenic functions of HDL. Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) promotes cholesterol efflux from peripheral cells and mediates ...

Scavenger receptor class B type I reduces cholesterol absorption in cultured enterocyte CaCo-2 cells1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates selective uptake of cholesteryl esters from HDL as well as efflux of cellular free cholesterol to HDL. It is unclear whether the receptor is involved in intestinal cholesterol absorption.

Raman‐based label‐free microscopic analysis of the pancreas in living zebrafish larvae

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Forward stimulated Raman scattering (F‐SRS) and epi coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (E‐CARS) allow label‐free discrimination of distinct subcellular structures in the pancreas of living zebrafish larvae. Given the straightforward applicability, we anticipate broad implementation of Raman microscopy in other organs and across various biomedical ...
