beta2-glycoprotein-I (apolipoprotein H) and beta2-glycoprotein-I-phospholipid complex harbor a recognition site for the endocytic receptor megalin.
Screening of serum by using a surface plasmon resonance analysis assay identified beta2-glycoprotein-I/apolipoprotein H as a plasma component binding to the renal epithelial endocytic receptor megalin. A calcium-dependent megalin-mediated beta2-glycoprotein-I endocytosis was subsequently demonstrated by ligand blotting of rabbit renal cortex and uptake analysis in megalin-expressing cells. Immu...
متن کاملInteraction of giant phospholipid vesicles containing cardiolipin and cholesterol with beta2-glycoprotein-I and anti-beta2-glycoprotein-I antibodies.
Antiphospholipid syndrome is characterized with thrombotic events and/or pregnancy morbidity and antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). The most common antigen for aPL is beta2-glycoprotein-I (beta(2)GPI), a plasma protein binding to negatively charged phospholipids. The influence of aPL on coagulation is not well understood. Giant phospholipid vesicles (GPVs) are a convenient in vitro system for s...
متن کاملCharacterization of beta2-glycoprotein I binding to phospholipid membranes.
The plasma protein beta2-glycoprotein I (beta2-GPI) is a major target of autoantibodies in patients with the antiphospholipid syndrome. To understand the physiological function of beta2-GPI and its potential role in the pathophysiology of the antiphospholipid syndrome, the binding of beta2-GPI to phospholipid membranes was characterized. The interaction of beta2-GPI with unilamellar vesicles co...
متن کاملImmunolocalization of beta2-glycoprotein I (apolipoprotein H) to human atherosclerotic plaques: potential implications for lesion progression.
BACKGROUND beta2-Glycoprotein I (beta2GPI) is a major antigenic target of antiphospholipid antibodies, which possesses natural anticoagulant properties. The aim of the present study was to determine its presence and localization within human atherosclerotic plaques and to study its association with endothelial cells and monocyte macrophages in vitro. METHODS AND RESULTS Human atherosclerotic ...
متن کاملAutoantibodies Directed Against Domain I of Beta2-Glycoprotein I
Patients diagnosed with the antiphospholipid syndrome typically suffer from vascular thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity, or a combination of the two. Due to the high prevalence of these clinical symptoms, the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome is almost completely dependent on the detection of antiphospholipid antibodies in patient plasma. However, not every individual with antiphospholipid an...
