Scavenger Receptor B2 as a Receptor for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease and Severe Neurological Diseases
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the major causative agents of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). Infection with EV71 is occasionally associated with severe neurological diseases such as acute encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, and cardiopulmonary failure. Because cellular receptors for viruses play an important role in cell, tissue, and species tropism, it is important to identify and ch...
متن کاملInterferon-oy Inhibits Scavenger Receptor Expression
The scavenger receptor (ScR) mediates uptake of chemically modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) by human monocytederived macrophages. It is not down-regulated by high intracellular cholesterol levels, and exposure of macrophages to acetylated or oxidized LDL therefore leads to foam cell development. The hypothesis that this represents an important mechanism for intracellular cholesterol accum...
متن کاملEvaluation of Pertussis Toxin Expression in B2 and THIJS Media
Whole-cell pertussis vaccine (wP) has been imperative and highly effective in preventing childhood deaths due to pertussis. Pertussis toxin is one of the virulence factors of Bordetella pertussis in all available pertussis vaccines. wP production in Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute is according to bioreactor culture of B. pertussis strains in B2 medium. The aim ...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus Increases Scavenger Receptor Expression and Activity of SMCs
Evidence suggests a possible role for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in the development of arteriosclerosis. One of the earliest events in plaque formation is the accumulation of lipid-laden foam cells, derived from macrophages and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The lipid accumulation that occurs depends upon the uptake of oxidized LDL (OxLDL), a process in which the scavenger receptor (SR) has been...
متن کاملIdentification of a small-molecule, nonpeptide macrophage scavenger receptor antagonist.
Class A scavenger receptor (SR-A) antagonists may prevent the initiation of atherosclerosis, because a recent report found that SR-A/apolipoprotein E (apoE) double-knockout mice had 60% smaller lesions than apoE single-knockout littermates. We transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells with SR-A type I or II receptors to find small-molecule antagonists. Uptake of 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3'...
