SR-BI mediates exchange of cholesterol between HDL and cells, and is a crucial factor in the transport of excessive cellular cholesterol from extrahepatic tissues to the liver ("reverse cholesterol transport") and, therefore, also for cholesterol homeostasis. Hepatic SR-BI mediates transfer of HDL-cholesterol to the hepatocytes where cholesterol may be metabolised to bile acids. LXR and SREBP are key factors in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether these transcription factors are involved in the regulation of SR-BI. Here we show that LXRalpha/RXR and LXRbeta/RXR induce SR-BI transcription in human and murine hepatoma cell lines, and in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes independently of SREBP-1. The LXR/RXR response was mapped within -1,200 to -937 of the promoter region. Gel mobility shift analysis confirmed that the putative LXR response element bound LXRalpha/RXR and LXRbeta/RXR heterodimers.

The Role of Scavenger Receptor BI in Sepsis.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition resulting from a dysregulated host response to infection. Currently, there is no effective therapy for sepsis due to an incomplete understanding of its pathogenesis. Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor that plays a key role in HDL metabolism by modulating the selective uptake of cholesteryl ester from HDL.

Dysregulated lipid metabolism is commonly observed in septic patients, but how it contributes to sepsis remains largely unknown. Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is crucial for regulating cholesterol metabolism in circulation. During RCT, high-density lipoprotein collects cholesterol from peripheral tissues and transports it to the liver's scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), where SR-BI mediates the uptake of cholesteryl esters (CEs) from high-density lipoprotein for excretion via bile.

The proper uptake of drugs in liposome formulations into target cells markedly impacts therapeutic efficacy. The protein corona (PC), formed by the adsorption of serum proteins onto the liposome surface, binds to specific surface receptors of target cells, influencing the uptake pathway. We investigated the uptake pathway into leukemia cells based on PC analysis of CPX-351, a liposome containing cytarabine and daunorubicin in a fixed 5:1 synergistic molar ratio.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder predominantly affecting individuals of African descent, with a significant global health burden. SCD is characterized by intravascular hemolysis, driven by the polymerization of mutated hemoglobin within red blood cells (RBCs), leading to vascular inflammation, organ damage, and heme toxicity. Clinical manifestations include acute pain crises, hemolytic anemia, and multi-organ dysfunction, imposing substantial morbidity and mortality challenges.

Background: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) protects against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury via signaling through scavenger-receptor class B type-I (SR-BI) and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs). We recently reported that HDL protects the hearts of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) against I/R injury in an SR-BI-dependent manner.
Objective: In this study, we examined the role of S1PRs in HDL-induced protection against myocardial I/R injury in hypertensive rats.
