Detection of LIMPII/SR-B2 by Western Blot
Generation of a hybrid mouse model SCARB2/stat-1 KO by crossbreeding hSCARB2 transgenic mice and stat-1 KO mice.(a) Human SCARB2 (hSCARB2) cDNA was cloned under its own native promoter in an SV40 expression vector. (b) The generation of homozygous hSCARB2+/+ transgenic mice was as detailed in M&M. The heterozygote strain of hSCARB2+/−/stat-1+/− mice were generated by crossing the stat-1−/− and the hSCARB2+/+ parental mice. The hybrid strain hSCARB2+/+/stat-1−/− was generated by crossing the heterozygote mice hSCARB2+/−/stat-1+/− to each other. (c) Genotyping of parental and hybrid mouse strains was performed by PCR assay using genomic DNAs extracted from mouse tail. The transgene of hSCARB2 was screened by detection of a 369 bp PCR product using primers specific for hSCARB2. For the stat-1+/− heterozygote mice, 320 bp and 150 bp PCR products were used as markers for screening. The former indicates a mutant stat-1 allele, while the latter indicates a wild type stat-1 allele. (d) The expressions of hSCARB2 protein were compared among parental and hybrid mouse strains in brain, spinal cord, spleen and muscle by immunoblot via an anti-SCARB2 antibody. The weaker signals of the SCARB2 protein detected in stat-1 KO mice reflect cross reactivity between human and mouse SCARB2 proteins to the anti-SCARB2 antibody.

Background: LIMPII/SR-B2
LIMPII (Lysosomal Integral Membrane Protein II), also known as LPG85 (85 kDa lysosomal membrane sialoglycoprotein) and as CD36 antigen-like 2 (CD36L2), is a major lysosomal membrane protein. It belongs to the scavenger receptor class B subfamily and is designated member 2 (SR-B2). Other mammalian members of this family include SR-B1 (alternatively known as Cla-1 and CD36L1), and SR-B3 (CD36) (1 - 3). SR-B/CD36 family members are type III integral membrane proteins with an N- as well as a C-terminal cytoplasmic tail, and a large extracellular (or lumenal in the case of LIMPII) loop containing similarly spaced cysteine residues and multiple glycosylation sites. The C-terminal cytoplasmic tail has a di-leucine-based motif that mediates effective lysosomal targeting. LIMPII is widely expressed on all tissues and cell types so far examined. It is also expressed on the surface of activated platelets. LIMPII binds thrombospondin-1, but the biological significance of this interaction is not known. LIMPII-thrombospondin interaction may contribute to the pro-adhesive changes of activated platelets during coagulation, and inflammation (1). Overexpression of LIMPII causes an enlargement of early endosomes and late endosomes, suggesting that LIMPII may play a role in lysosome/endosome biogenesis (4). Mice deficient in LIMPII are impaired in membrane transport processes, resulting in ureteric pelvic junction obstruction, deafness and peripheral neuropathy (5).
