Expression of LDL receptor, VLDL receptor, LDL receptor-related protein, and scavenger receptor in rabbit atherosclerotic lesions: marked induction of scavenger receptor and VLDL receptor expression during lesion development.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic lesions contain foam cells that arise from monocyte-macrophages and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) by excessive uptake of lipoproteins. There are many candidate receptors for the lipid accumulation, such as LDL receptor (LDLR), VLDL receptor (VLDLR), LDL receptor-related protein (LRP), and scavenger receptors (SRs). However, little quantitative information exists on the e...
متن کاملIncreased LDL cholesterol and atherosclerosis in LDL receptor-deficient mice with attenuated expression of scavenger receptor B1.
Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is a multiligand cell-surface receptor that plays a central role in high density lipoprotein homeostasis in rodents. To investigate a role for SR-BI in atherosclerosis, mice with attenuated SR-BI expression were crossed with low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-deficient mice. Compound-homozygous mutants showed increased plasma cholesterol, surprisingly due prima...
متن کاملExpression of SR-PSOX, a novel cell-surface scavenger receptor for phosphatidylserine and oxidized LDL in human atherosclerotic lesions.
Receptor-mediated endocytosis of oxidized low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) by macrophages and the subsequent foam cell transformation in the arterial intima are key events in early atherogenesis. Recently, we have identified a novel macrophage cell-surface receptor for Ox-LDL by expression cloning from a cDNA library of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-stimulated THP-1 cells, designated as the s...
متن کاملLDL receptor deficiency unmasks altered VLDL triglyceride metabolism in VLDL receptor transgenic and knockout mice.
The very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) has been proposed to play a role in the delivery of fatty acids to peripheral tissues. However, despite reduced adipose tissue mass in VLDLR-deficient (VLDLR(-)(/-)) mice, this has been difficult to substantiate. In the present study, VLDLR-deficient and VLDLR-overexpressing (PVL) mice were cross-bred onto a low density lipoprotein receptor knoc...
متن کاملIncreased Atherosclerotic Lesions in LDL Receptor Deficient Mice With Hematopoietic Nuclear Receptor Rev‐erbα Knock‐ Down
BACKGROUND Nuclear receptor Rev-erbα plays important roles in circadian clock timing, lipid metabolism, adipogenesis, and vascular inflammation. However, the role of Rev-erbα in atherosclerotic lesion development has not been assessed in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS The nuclear receptor Rev-erbα was knocked down in mouse haematopoietic cells by means of shRNA-lentiviral transduction, followed by...
