Scavenger receptor, class B, type I (SR-BI) mediates selective uptake of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl ester. SR-BI recognizes HDL, low (LDL), exchangeable apolipoproteins, and protein-free lipid vesicles containing negatively charged phospholipids. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are highly glycosylated anionic phospholipids contributing to septic shock. Despite significant structural similarities between LPS, the role in LPS is unknown. Cla-1, human orthologue, was determined be a...
ABSTRACT Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has recently been shown to facilitate macrophage foam cell formation and suggested be a proatherogenic factor. The mechanism of LPS induced cholesterol accumulation, however, is unclear. In this report, using the macrophage-like RAW 264.7 line, we provide experimental evidence that LPS's effects may at least in part reflect altered metabolism. Data presented demonstrate dose-dependent manner, able down regulate mRNA expression two primary high-density...
