Abstract

CD36 is an 88-kDa glycoprotein expressed on platelets and monocyte/macrophages (Mphi). CD36 is a multifunctional receptor for collagen, thrombospondin, oxidized low density lipoproteins (LDL), and long-chain fatty acids. The present study was performed to investigate whether CD36 can function as an adhesion molecule which is involved in mediating human macrophages (Mphi) adhesion to type I collagen in vitro. The Mphi of human CD36-deficient as well as normal control subjects were isolated and cultured on the multi-well plates coated with type I collagen, a natural ligand for CD36. Up to 2 h of incubation, the Mphi from CD36-deficient patients showed almost a approximately 55% decrease in adhesion to type I collagen in comparison to those from controls (P < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference in the adhesion thereafter. Furthermore, the addition of antibody against CD36 into the media of control Mphi significantly inhibited the adhesion by approximately 50% (P < 0.05). The addition of oxidized LDL (OxLDL) did not alter adhesion of Mphi from both CD36-deficient and controls. These data suggest that CD36 is involved in the adhesion of Mphi to type I collagen, especially in the early stage of adhesion.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
