Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is classically known for its role in anti-atherogenic reverse cholesterol transport as it selectively takes up cholesterol esters from high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Here we have highlighted recent literature that describes novel functions for SR-BI in physiology and disease. A large population based study has revealed that subjects heterozygous for the P376L mutant form of SR-BI showed significantly increased levels of plasma HDL-cholesterol and had increased risk of cardiovascular disease, demonstrating that SR-BI in humans is a significant determinant of cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, SR-BI has been shown to modulate the susceptibility to LPS-induced tissue injury and the ability of sphingosine 1 phosphate to interact with its receptor, linking SR-BI to the regulation of inflammation. In addition, important domains within the molecule (Trp-415) as well as novel regulators (PCEP2) of SR-BI’s selective uptake function have recently been identified. Moreover, relatively high expression levels of the SR-BI protein have been observed in a variety of cancer tissues which is associated with a reduced overall survival rate. The HDL receptor SR-BI is a potential therapeutic target not only in the cardiovascular disease setting, but also in inflammatory conditions as well as in cancer.
