Rapid fluorometric assay of LDL receptor activity by DiI-labeled LDL.
DiI-LDL (3,3'-dioctadecylindocarbocyanine-low density lipoprotein) has been extensively used in morphological and microscopic studies of receptor-mediated metabolism of LDL in many cell lines. To date the use of this fluorescent probe in a quantitative assay of LDL receptor activity has not been widely used in studies with multiple samples due to the lack of a practical method for quantitativel...
متن کاملized-LDL receptor activity in macrophages
Platelet secretory products were shown to modulate the interaction between lipoproteins and their receptors on macrophages. Preincubation of macrophages for 2 h at 37°C with platelet conditioned medium (PCM), followed by its removal and a further 5-h incubation in the presence of oxidized-LDL (Ox-LDL), resulted in increased cellular degradation of Ox-LDL (34%), stimulation of cellular cholester...
متن کاملActivation of EGF receptor by oxidized LDL.
Oxidized low density lipoproteins (oxLDL) are thought to play a major role in atherosclerosis. OxLDL exhibit a wide variety of biological effects resulting from their ability to interfere with intracellular signaling. The cellular targets and primary signaling events of oxLDL are unknown. We report that oxLDL elicit, in intact cells, tyrosine phosphorylation of the epithelial growth factor rece...
متن کاملThe LDL receptor.
In this article, the history of the LDL receptor is recounted by its codiscoverers. Their early work on the LDL receptor explained a genetic cause of heart attacks and led to new ways of thinking about cholesterol metabolism. The LDL receptor discovery also introduced three general concepts to cell biology: receptor-mediated endocytosis, receptor recycling, and feedback regulation of receptors....
متن کاملLDL Receptor mRNA Abundance
Rabbits fed low-fat, cholesterol-free diets containing casein as the sole protein source develop endogenous hypercholesterolemia (EH). To test the hypothesis that lipoprotein cholesteryl esters in EH rabbits are acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) derived, we treated EH rabbits with CI-976, a potent and selective ACAT inhibitor. In addition, since cholesterol and bile acid synthe...
