Receptor-mediated endocytosis of oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) by macrophages has been implicated in foam cell transformation in the process of atherogenesis. Although several scavenger receptor molecules, including class A scavenger receptors and CD36, have been identified as OxLDL receptors on macrophages, additional molecules on macrophages may also be involved in the recognition of OxLDL. From a cDNA library of phorbol Ig-myristate Is-acetate-stimulated THP-1 cells, we isolated a cDNA encoding a novel protein designated SR-PSOX (scavenger receptor that binds Ehosphatidylserine and oxidized lipoprotein), which acts as a receptor for OxLDL, SR-PSOX was a type I membrane protein consisting of 254 amino acids, expression of which was shown on human and murine macrophages with a molecular mass of 30 kDa, SR-PSOX could specifically bind with high affinity, internalize, and degrade OxLDL. The recognition of OxLDL was blocked by polyinosinic acid and dextran sulfate but not by acetylated low density lipoprotein. Taken together, SR-PSOX is a novel class of molecule belonging to the scavenger receptor family, which may play important roles in pathophysiology including atherogenesis.
