Homeostasis: A scavenger receptor for haemoglobin
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent studies have identified a macrophage-specific receptor for the clearance of haemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes, which protects the host against the toxicity of free haemoglobin.

Haemoglobin scavenger receptor: function in relation to disease.
Highly efficient systems remove the toxic and proinflammatory haemoglobin from the circulation and local sites of tissue damage. Macrophages are major haemoglobin-clearing cells; CD163 was recently recognized as the specific haemoglobin scavenger receptor (HbSR). It is tightly involved in both physiological as well as pathophysiological processes, such as cytoprotection and inflammation. Haemog...
متن کاملSimilarities and Differences between Haptoglobin in Mammals and Pit 54 in Poultry – a Review
The acute phase response (APR) is a natural systemic reaction raised to neutralize the effect of challenging agents (infections, traumas, neoplasms, immune disorders) that impair the homeostasis. Acute phase proteins (APP) are a component of APR. The purpose of the present review is to summarize the available information about haptoglobin (Нр) in mammals and its analogue PIT 54 in Gallus gallus...
متن کاملRetinal pigment epithelium possesses both LDL and scavenger receptor activity.
The lipid metabolism of photoreceptors depends in part on the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). One aspect of cholesterol homeostasis in cultured bovine RPE was evaluated by measuring low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and scavenger receptor activity with [125I]-LDL and [125I]Ac-LDL, respectively. Incubation of RPE cells in the presence of increasing concentrations of LDL or Ac-LDL resulted in down-...
متن کاملThe macrophage scavenger receptor at 30 years of age: current knowledge and future challenges.
It is now thirty years since the original observation that macrophages take up and degrade modified forms of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Molecular cloning has identified multiple scavenger receptors that can endocytose modified LDL and binding studies continue to identify a wide range of scavenger receptor ligands displayed by bacterial pathogens, modified self proteins and apoptotic cells. ...
متن کاملAcute renal failure associated to paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria leads to intratubular haemosiderin accumulation and CD163 expression.
Decreased renal function has been observed in diseases with intravascular haemolysis, including paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH). However, the mechanisms via which haemoglobin enhances renal damage in this pathology are not fully known. We report a case of acute renal failure associated to PNH and extensive haemosiderin deposits in tubular cells. Renal biopsy also revealed a strong im...
