Scavenger Receptor BI Protects against Septic Death through Its Role in Modulating Inflammatory Response.
Sepsis is a leading cause of death that is characterized by uncontrolled inflammatory response. In this study, we report that scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), a high density lipoprotein receptor, is a critical survival factor of sepsis. We induced sepsis using an established septic animal model, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). CLP induced 100% fatality in SR-BI-null mice but only 21% fatality ...
متن کاملScavenger receptor BI prevents nitric oxide-induced cytotoxicity and endotoxin-induced death.
Nitric oxide (NO)-induced oxidative stress contributes to a variety of diseases. Although numerous mechanisms have been described controlling the production of NO, the mechanisms to prevent NO-induced cytotoxicity after NO synthesis are largely unknown. Here we report that scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) prevents NO-induced cytotoxicity. Using CHO cell lines expressing wild-type and single-site m...
متن کاملMacrophage apolipoprotein E reduces atherosclerosis and prevents premature death in apolipoprotein E and scavenger receptor-class BI double-knockout mice.
OBJECTIVE Mice null for both apolipoprotein (apo)E and scavenger receptor (SR)-BI (DKO) develop severe hypercholesterolemia, occlusive coronary atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and premature death. The current study examines the ability of macrophage apoE to improve the dyslipidemia, reduce atherosclerosis, and rescue the lethal phenotype of DKO mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Initially, bon...
متن کاملScavenger receptor-BI is a receptor for lipoprotein(a).
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 ligand. Stable cell lines (HEK293 and HeLa) expressing human SR-BI were incubated with protein- or lipid-labeled Lp(a) to investigate SR-BI-depende...
متن کاملScavenger receptor BI boosts hepatocyte permissiveness to Plasmodium infection.
Infection of hepatocytes by Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites requires the host tetraspanin CD81. CD81 is also predicted to be a coreceptor, along with scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), for hepatitis C virus. Using SR-BI-knockout, SR-BI-hypomorphic and SR-BI-transgenic primary hepatocytes, as well as specific SR-BI-blocking antibodies, we demonstrate that SR-BI significantly boosts hepatocyte perm...
