Abstract
Lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor 1 is involved in CRP-mediated complement activation.
Clinical chemistry, 2011; PubMed, Homo sapiens CRP — Homo sapiens OLR1
ABSTRACT: C-reactive protein (CRP) is purported to be a risk factor that acts independently of LDL cholesterol in predicting all-cause mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease. Lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX-1) impairs endothelial function and exacerbates myocardial injury. We recently demonstrated that CRP increased vascular permeability through direct binding to LOX-1. Here we examined, using a hypertensive rat model, whether LOX-1 is involved in CRP-induced complement activation.
