Deletion of the murine scavenger receptor CD68.
Scavenger receptors (ScRs) are a structurally unrelated family of receptors with the ability to bind modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) as well as a broad range of polyanionic ligands. CD68, whose expression is restricted to mononuclear phagocytes, is a unique ScR family member, owing to its lysosome associated membrane protein (LAMP)-like domain and predominant endosomal distribution. Knoc...
متن کاملStructure of the murine macrophage scavenger receptor gene and evaluation
The structure of the entire murine scavenger receptor gene was determined; it consists of eleven exons spanning more than 60 kilobases. Primer extension showed that transcription initiates at a cluster of sites unassociated with a TATAA element. DNA sequences adjacent to these transcription start sites are highly conserved in murine, human, and bovine genes. When transcriptional activity was te...
متن کاملFarnesoid X Receptor Induces Murine Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I via Intron Binding
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor and a key regulator of liver cholesterol and triglyceride homeostasis. Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) is critical for reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) by transporting high-density lipoprotein (HDL) into liver. FXR induces SR-BI, however, the underlying molecular mechanism of this induction is not known. The current study confirmed i...
متن کاملThe Role of Scavenger Receptor B1 in Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a Murine Model
BACKGROUND The interaction between Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and host cells is complex and far from being understood. The role of the different receptor(s) implicated in the recognition of Mtb in particular remains poorly defined, and those that have been found to have activity in vitro were subsequently shown to be redundant in vivo. METHODS AND FINDINGS To identify novel receptors in...
متن کاملDeletion of class A scavenger receptor deteriorates obesity-induced insulin resistance in adipose tissue.
Chronic low-grade inflammation, particularly in the adipose tissue, orchestrates obesity-induced insulin resistance. In this process, polarized activation of macrophages plays a crucial role. However, how macrophages contribute to insulin resistance remains obscure. Class A scavenger receptor (SR-A) is a pattern recognition receptor primarily expressed in macrophages. Through a combination of i...
