Macrophage scavenger receptors and foam cell formation.
Scavenger receptors bind and internalize modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Because the expression of scavenger receptors is not down-regulated by cholesterol, macrophages (Mphi) expressing scavenger receptors can internalize substantial quantities of cholesteryl ester from oxidized LDL and HDL, leading to foam cell formation. Mphi express several differe...
متن کاملImpaired differentiation of macrophage lineage cells attenuates bone remodeling and inflammatory angiogenesis in Ndrg1 deficient mice
N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) is a responsible gene for a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy-Lom (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4D). This is the first study aiming to assess the contribution of NDRG1 to differentiation of macrophage lineage cells, which has important implications for bone remodeling and inflammatory angiogenesis. Ndrg1 knockout (KO) mice exhibited abnormal c...
متن کاملThe Effects of Dienogest on Macrophage and Natural Killer Cells in Adenomyosis: A Randomized Controlled Study
Objective Inflammation plays an important role in endometriosis and adenomyosis. Progestin has been used for symptomatic treatment of adenomyosis, although its effect on inflammation has not been studied. We conducted a randomized controlled study to investigate the changes of immune cell expression, i.e. macrophages and natural killer cells, in the tissue obtained from women with adenomyosis w...
متن کاملMacrophage lipoprotein receptors.
Macrophages possess a number of surface receptors that are capable of mediating the internalization of lipoproteins. The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor of human monocyte macrophages recognizes apolipoprotein B-100 and apolipoprotein E and is rapidly regulated in response to changes in intracellular cholesterol levels. In contrast, in J774 macrophages LDL receptor regulation is defective...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of mature hematopoietic cells from mice lacking the betac chain of the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor.
Mice with a null mutation of the betac chain of the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and IL-5 receptors (betac-null mice) develop an alveolar proteinosis-like lung disease. The pathogenesis of this disease is uncertain and, although a defect in alveolar macrophage function has been postulated, no previous analysis of mature hematopoietic cells in ...
