Abstract
CD36 (also known as platelet glycoprotein IV) is expressed by a variety of different cell entities, where it possesses functions as a signaling receptor, but additionally acts as a transporter for long-chain fatty acids. This dual function of CD36 has been investigated for its relevance in immune and nonimmune cells. Although CD36 was first identified on platelets, the understanding of the role of CD36 in platelet biology remained scarce for decades. In the past few years, several discoveries have shed a new light on the CD36 signaling activity in platelets. Notably, CD36 has been recognized as a sensor for oxidized low-density lipoproteins in the circulation that mitigates the threshold for platelet activation under conditions of dyslipidemia. Thus, platelet CD36 transduces atherogenic lipid stress into an increased risk for thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and stroke. The underlying pathways that are affected by CD36 are the inhibition of cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways and simultaneously the induction of activatory signaling events. Furthermore, thrombospondin-1 secreted by activated platelets binds to CD36 and furthers paracrine platelet activation. CD36 also serves as a binding hub for different coagulation factors and, thus, contributes to the plasmatic coagulation cascade. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent findings on platelet CD36 and presents CD36 as a relevant target for the prevention of thrombotic events for dyslipidemic individuals with an elevated risk for thrombosis.

Abstract
Background CD36 deficiency is closely associated with fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, platelet transfusion refractoriness, and other hemorrhage disorders, particularly in Asian and African populations. There is a clinical need for rapid and high-throughput methods of platelet CD36 (pCD36) phenotyping to improve the availability of CD36 typing of donors and assist clinical blood transfusions for patients with anti-CD36 antibodies. Such methods can also support the establishment of databases of pCD36-negative phenotypes. Study Design and Methods A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for CD36 phenotyping of human platelets was developed using anti-CD36 monoclonal antibodies. The reliability of the assay was evaluated by calculating the intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation (CV). A total of 1,691 anticoagulant whole blood samples from healthy blood donors were randomly selected. PCD36 expression was measured using a sandwich ELISA. PCD36 deficiency was confirmed by flow cytometry (FC). Mutations underlying pCD36 deficiency were identified using polymerase chain reaction sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT). Results The sandwich ELISA for pCD36 phenotyping had high reliability (intra-assay CV, 2.1-4.8%; inter-assay CV, 2.3-5.2%). The sandwich ELISA was used to screen for CD36 expression on platelets isolated from 1,691 healthy blood donors. Of these, 36 samples were pCD36-negative. FC demonstrated absence of CD36 expression on monocytes in three of the 36 cases. In the present study population, the frequency of CD36 deficiency was 2.13% (36/1,691), of which 0.18% (3/1,691) was type I deficiency and 1.95% (33/1,691) was type II deficiency. In addition, we used PCR-SBT to characterize the gene mutations in exons 3-14 of the CD36 gene in 27 cases of CD36 deficiency and discovered 10 types of mutations in 13 pCD36-negative samples. Conclusion The present study describes the development and characterization of a highly reliable sandwich ELISA for high-throughput screening for pCD36 expression. This novel method is feasible for clinical applications and provides a useful tool for the establishment of databases of pCD36-negative phenotype donors.

Abstract
CD36 is a multifunctional receptor expressed on the surface of many cell types. Among healthy individuals, CD36 may be absent on platelets and monocytes (type I deficiency) or platelets alone (type II deficiency). However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying CD36 deficiency remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to identify individuals with CD36 deficiency and investigate the molecular basis underlying it. Blood samples were collected from platelet donors at Kunming Blood Center. Platelets and monocytes were isolated and CD36-expression levels were analyzed using flow cytometry. DNA from whole blood and mRNA isolated from monocytes and platelets of individuals with CD36 deficiency were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. The PCR products were cloned and sequenced. Among the 418 blood donors,7 (1.68%) were CD36 deficient: 1 (0.24%) with type I deficiency and 6(1.44%) with type II deficiency. Six heterozygous mutations occurred, including c.268C>T (in type I individuals), c.120 + 1 G>T, c.268C>T, c.329_330del/AC, c.1156 C>T, c.1163A>C, and c.1228_1239del/ATTGTGCCTATT (in type II individuals). Mutations were not detected in one type II individual . At the cDNA level, only mutant, but not wild-type, transcripts were detected in the platelets and monocytes of type I individual. In type II individuals, only mutant transcripts were found in platelets, whereas monocytes possessed wild-type and mutant transcripts. Interestingly, only alternative splicing transcripts were observed in the individual without mutation. We report the incidence rates of type I and II CD36 deficiencies among platelet donors in Kunming. Molecular genetic analyses of DNA and cDNA demonstrated that homozygous mutations on the cDNA level in platelets and monocytes or platelets alone identified type I and II deficiencies, respectively. Furthermore, alternatively spliced products also potentially contribute to the mechanism of CD36 deficiency.

Abstract
Anti-CD36 Abs have been suggested to induce transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) upon blood transfusion, particularly in Asian populations. However, little is known about the pathological mechanism of anti-CD36 Ab-mediated TRALI, and potential therapies have not yet been identified. Here, we developed a murine model of anti-CD36 Ab-mediated TRALI to address these questions. Administration of mouse mAb against CD36 (mAb GZ1) or human anti-CD36 IgG, but not GZ1 F(ab')2 fragments, induced severe TRALI in Cd36+/+ male mice. Predepletion of recipient monocytes or complement, but not neutrophils or platelets, prevented the development of murine TRALI. Moreover, plasma C5a levels after TRALI induction by anti-CD36 Abs increased more than 3-fold, implying a critical role of complement C5 activation in the mechanism of Fc-dependent anti-CD36-mediated TRALI. Administration of GZ1 F(ab')2, antioxidant (N-acetyl cysteine, NAC), or C5 blocker (mAb BB5.1) before TRALI induction completely protected mice from anti-CD36-mediated TRALI. Although no significant amelioration in TRALI was observed when mice were injected with GZ1 F(ab')2 after TRALI induction, significant improvement was achieved when mice were treated postinduction with NAC or anti-C5. Importantly, anti-C5 treatment completely rescued mice from TRALI, suggesting the potential role of existing anti-C5 drugs in the treatment of patients with TRALI caused by anti-CD36.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that maternal anti-CD36 antibodies represent a frequent cause of fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in Asian and African populations. However, little is known about the pathomechanism and antenatal treatment of anti-CD36-mediated FNAIT. Here, we established a novel animal model to examine the clinical features of pups from immunized Cd36-/- female mice after breeding with wild-type male mice. Mild thrombocytopenia was observed, but high pup mortality was also documented (40.26%). Administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) (1 g/kg) on days 7, 12, and 17 to immunized Cd36-/- mothers after breeding reduced fetal death (12.70%). However, delaying the IVIG administration series on days 10, 15, and 20 did not reduce fetal death (40.00%). In contrast, injection of deglycosylated anti-CD36 (deg-anti-CD36) polyclonal antibodies (5 mg/kg) on days 10, 15, and 20 significantly reduced fetal death (5.26%). Subsequently, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against mouse CD36 were developed, and one clone producing high-affinity anti-CD36 (termed 32-106) effectively inhibited maternal antibody binding and was therefore selected. Using the same approach of deg-anti-CD36, the administration of deg-32-106 significantly reduced fetal death (2.17%). Furthermore, immunized Cd36-/- mothers exhibited placental deficiency. Accordingly, maternal anti-CD36 antibodies inhibited angiogenesis of placenta endothelial cells, which could be restored by deg-32-106. In summary, maternal anti-CD36 antibodies caused a high frequency of fetal death in our animal model, associated with placental dysfunction. This deleterious effect could be diminished by the antenatal administration of IVIG and deg-mAb 32-106. Interestingly, treatment with deg-32-106 seems more beneficial considering the lower dose, later start of treatment, and therapy success.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungMütterliche Antikörper gegen das HPA-1a auf kindlichen Thrombozyten sind der Hauptverursacher einer fetalen oder neonatalen Alloimmunthrombozytopenie (FNAIT). In asiatischen Populationen wurden wiederholt Isoantikörper gegen CD36 als ursächlich im Zusammenhang mit der FNAIT beschrieben, wohingegen in Mitteleuropa die CD36-Defizienz und damit die Möglichkeit einer Immunisierung praktisch unbekannt sind. Das erschwert deutlich die Transfusion mit kompatiblen Thrombozyten bei FNAIT-Fällen, z. B. bei Neugeborenen asiatischer Abstammung. Bei einem Neugeborenen arabischstämmiger Eltern wurde eine Anti-CD36-induzierte FNAIT diagnostiziert. Die Thrombozytenwerte konnten erfolgreich durch die Gabe HPA-unausgewählter Apheresethrombozytenkonzentrate (ATK) stabilisiert werden. Durch ein vorangegangenes Forschungsprojekt zum CD36-Screening bei Blutspendern arabischer Herkunft stand zusätzlich kurz darauf ein ATK mit sehr schwacher CD36-Expression zur Verfügung, das aber nicht mehr benötigt wurde. Dieser Fall weist somit alternative Therapiemöglichkeiten bei einer Anti-CD36-induzierten FNAIT auf.

Abstract
Platelet-transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is common in patients with hematological malignancies. The etiology of immune PTR is typically human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies (Abs) from pregnancy or previous transfusion. Herein, we report PTR in the setting of induction chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) from Abs against CD36/glycoprotein (GP)IV. A 66-year-old African American woman presented with anemia and thrombocytopenia. She was found to have transfusion-dependent AML, and a 7 + 3 regimen (7 days of standard-dose cytarabine and 3 days of an anthracycline antibiotic or an anthracenedione, most often daunorubicin) was initiated. The patient developed profound thrombocytopenia, with platelet nadir of 0 by day 13. The results of HLA antibody screening were negative. However, the results of a screening test for platelet-specific antibodies screen showed Abs against cluster of differentiation (CD)36. The platelets of the patient lacked expression of CD36, and DNA analysis showed mutations in the CD36 gene. HLA Ab-mediated PTR is common in patients with hematological malignancies. However, once HLA Abs are excluded, other less-frequent Abs should be considered, particularly in patient populations of Asian, African, or Middle Eastern descent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD36 isoantibodies are capable of inducing neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) and platelet refractoriness. As to now the CD36 type I deficiency has been reported in East Asian and African individuals. However, it is virtually unknown in Caucasians. The aim of this study was to display the prevalence of the CD36 deficiency within parts of the Arabian population in Germany. Secondly, we are presenting the case of a newborn suffering from NAIT which was induced by CD36 antibody. METHODS Platelet (p) CD36 was determined by flow cytometry on 1328 samples mainly from individuals of Arabian origin and a family with a neonate affected by NAIT. DNA sequencing was performed on all pCD36-negative samples. RESULTS Thirty-five (2.64%) of all donor samples were pCD36 negative, 19 (1.43%) had a weak expression. Including only individuals from the Arabian peninsula, frequencies were 3.39% and 1.75%, respectively. CD36 type I deficiency on both platelets and monocytes combined with a CD36 isoantibody were detected in the mother of the NAIT baby. The baby was successfully transfused with two HPA-unselected platelet concentrates. In case of need, two platelet units with a weak pCD36 expression were on hand. A total of 45 different CD36 mutations were detected within pCD36-negative individuals, some being homozygous, most of them only present on one allele. CONCLUSION The CD36-negative phenotype is present in a significant number of individuals of Arabian origin and enables CD36 isoimmunization in NAIT or refractoriness. Blood transfusion services should be aware of such cases.

Abstract
Targeted gene disruption in mice has provided valuable insights into the functions of matricellular proteins. Apart from missense and loss of function mutations that have been associated with inherited diseases, however, their functions in humans remain unclear. The availability of deep exome sequencing data from over 140,000 individuals in the Genome Aggregation Database provided an opportunity to examine intolerance to loss of function and missense mutations in human matricellular genes. The probability of loss-of-function intolerance (pLI) differed widely within members of the thrombospondin, CYR61/CTGF/NOV (CCN), tenascin, small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoproteins (SIBLING), and secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) gene families. Notably, pLI values in humans had limited correlation with viability of the corresponding homozygous null mice. Among the thrombospondins, only THBS1 was highly loss-intolerant (pLI = 1). In contrast, Thbs1 is not essential for viability in mice. Several known thrombospondin-1 receptors were similarly loss-intolerant, although thrombospondin-1 is not the exclusive ligand for some of these receptors. The frequencies of missense mutations in THBS1 and the gene encoding its signaling receptor CD47 indicated conservation of some residues implicated in specific receptor binding. Deficits in missense mutations were also observed for other thrombospondin genes and for SPARC, SPOCK1, SPOCK2, TNR, and DSPP. The intolerance of THBS1 to loss of function in humans and elevated pLI values for THBS2, SPARC, SPOCK1, TNR, and CCN1 support important functions for these matricellular protein genes in humans, some of which may relate to functions in reproduction or responding to environmental stresses.

New molecular basis associated with CD36-negative phenotype in the sub-Saharan African population. Transfusion 2020; 60:2482-2488. [PMID: 32949421 DOI: 10.1111/trf.15980] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2019] [Revised: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CD36 glycoprotein is expressed by various cell types, including platelets (PLTs), monocytes, and erythroid precursors, and is also the receptor for several ligands. However, absence of CD36 expression seems asymptomatic and is poorly described in Caucasians. In contrast, the frequency reaches 7% and 11% in African Caribbean and Asian persons, respectively. Lack of CD36 expression exposes to the risk of immunization in case of pregnancy or PLT transfusion. Two types of deficiency have been described: in Type I, PLTs and monocytes lack CD36 expression and the subjects are homozygous or compound heterozygous for CD36 mutations, whereas in Type II, only PLTs (Type IIa), and rarely also erythroid cells (Type IIb), are affected. Molecular events leading to Type II deficiency are poorly understood. CASE REPORT An African girl, diagnosed with homozygous sickle cell disease and regularly transfused, was assessed for PLT CD36 expression by immunofluorescence microscopy. The deficiency was then confirmed by monoclonal antibody immobilization of PLT antigen (MAIPA) assay, and the subtype was assessed by flow cytometry. The underlying molecular basis was characterized by DNA sequencing. Furthermore, we tested the serum for possible anti-CD36 immunization. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Flow cytometric analysis on the patient's blood samples allowed the diagnosis of Type I CD36 deficiency. CD36 antibodies, probably due to her past history of red blood cell transfusions, were identified by MAIPA and by Luminex technology assay. Interestingly, we identified through sequencing a new molecular basis involved in CD36 deficiency: two adenines were replaced by one guanine in Exon 4 (c.367_368delAAinsG) leading to a stop codon at Position 76.

A single-center investigational study of CD36 antigen deficiency and platelet alloantibody distribution in different populations in Northern China as well as platelet alloantibodies effect on pregnancy. Clin Chim Acta 2019; 498:68-75. [PMID: 31421121 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2019.08.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2019] [Revised: 08/02/2019] [Accepted: 08/13/2019] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet antibodies can lead to clinical diseases such as platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR), fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT), etc. This study is aimed at understanding CD36 expression, platelet alloantibody distribution in different populations in Northern China, and effects of platelet alloantibodies on pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Whole blood samples of 612 subjects including hematological patients, pregnant women, and blood donors were collected at a single center, then CD36 expressions were determined, followed by platelet antibody screening and characterization of platelet antibody specificity. A retrospective analysis was performed in 1552 pregnant women admitted to Department of Obstetrics, in order to investigate FNAIT occurrence. RESULTS Rate of CD36 deficiency expression was 2.12% (13/612), all cases exhibited type II deficiency without type I deficiency being detected, and such rate is lower than that in Southern China (3.43%), Japanese (4.87%) and in the black people (4.18%), and higher than that in the White people (0.09%). Positive rates of platelet antibody screening in hematological patient group (6.86%, 14/204) and in pregnant women group (6.31%, 13/206) are higher than that in blood donor group (0.49%, 1/202), P < .01. Out of 1552 pregnant women, there were not children with FNAIT. CONCLUSION The frequency of CD36 deficiency in northern China was low, all of them were type II deficiency, and no CD36 antibody was detected. It is speculated that the risk of immune-related thrombocytopenia caused by CD36 deficiency in this population is very low. Platelet antibodies should be monitored early in patients with hematological and multiple miscarriages pregnant.

Abstract
Scavenger receptor CD36 is a multifunctional membrane protein that promotes thrombosis in conditions of oxidative stress such as metabolic disorders including dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and chronic inflammation. In these conditions, specific reactive oxidant species are generated that are context and cell dependent. In the vasculature, CD36 signaling in smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells promotes generation of reactive oxygen species, genetic downregulation of antioxidant genes, and impaired smooth muscle and endothelial function. In hematopoietic cells, CD36 signaling enhances platelet dysfunction thus decreasing the threshold for platelet activation and accelerating arterial thrombosis, whereas in macrophages, CD36 promotes lipid-laden foam cell formation and atherosclerosis. These clinically significant processes are mediated through complex redox regulated signaling mechanisms that include Src-family kinases, MAP kinases and other downstream effectors. We provide an overview of CD36 signaling in vascular redox stress highlighting the role in oxidant generation in vascular and hematopoietic cells, but with special emphasis on platelets and dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) is a membrane receptor expressed on a wide variety of human cells. CD36 polymorphisms are reportedly associated with oral fat perception, dietary intake and metabolic disorders. The present study examined associations of two CD36 polymorphisms (rs1761667 and rs1527483) and dietary fat intake, and metabolic phenotypes in a Japanese population. This cross-sectional study was conducted based on clinical information collected from health check-ups in Japan (n 495). Dietary nutrient intake was estimated from a validated short FFQ and adjusted for total energy intake using the residual method. Mean blood pressure was calculated from systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Hypertension was defined as SBP ≥ 130 mmHg and/or DBP ≥ 85 mmHg, or use of antihypertensive drugs. Genotyping was performed using PCR with confronting two-pair primers method. Mean age was 63·4 (sd 9·9) years. Individuals with the AA genotype showed higher total fat and MUFA intake (standardised β = 0·110 and 0·087, P = 0·01 and 0·05, respectively) compared with the GG and GA genotypes. For metabolic phenotypes, the AA genotype of rs1761667 had a lower blood pressure compared with the GG genotype (standardised β = -0·123, P = 0·02). Our results suggested that the AA genotype of rs1761667 in the CD36 gene was associated with higher intake of total fat and MUFA and lower risk of hypertension in a Japanese population.

Abstract
Foetal or neonatal thrombocytopenia results from alloimmunisation during pregnancy. Maternal alloantibodies can be formed following exposure to paternally derived human platelet antigens (HPAs) on foetal platelets, in case of incompatible HPA type. These alloantibodies are of the immunoglobulin G subclass and can therefore enter the foetal circulation through active placental transport mediated by the neonatal Fc-receptor. After entering the foetal circulation, these alloantibodies can cause destruction of foetal platelets and potentially damage other foetal cells containing the specific antigen. Subsequent clinical presentation in foetuses or neonates can vary widely, from an asymptomatic thrombocytopenia to a broad spectrum of bleeding complications. Most frequently encountered are minor skin haemorrhages, such as hematomas or petechiae, but also more devastating haemorrhages can occur. Of these, an intracranial haemorrhage is the most feared complication because of its high risk of life-long major neurological handicaps or perinatal death.

Abstract
Fetal/neonatal allo-immune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) results from maternal immunization against fetal platelet-specific antigens (HPA) inherited from the father. Most cases involve HPA located on glycoproteins (GP) IbIX, IaIIa and IIbIIIa. Iso-immunizations can also occur in the absence of expression of membrane proteins, such as GPIIb or GPIIIa in Glanzmann patients. CD36 (also called glycoprotein GPIV) deficiency is observed in 3 to 5% of Asian and African populations. We report here the case of a 41-year-old Canadian woman originated from Africa, who delivered a male dead new-born at 39 weeks of gestation. A massive intracranial haemorrhage was identified as being the obvious cause of death. No platelet antibody against GPIbIX, IaIIa, and IIbIIIa was identified by the gold-standard Monoclonal Antibody-specific Immobilization of Platelet Antigens (MAIPA) assay. Surprisingly, anti CD36 iso-antibodies were identified in the maternal serum with a new bead-based multiplex assay. The CD36 gene was sequenced for both parents, and a mutation was identified on Exon 10 of the mother’s CD36 gene, which was absent for the father: NM_000072.3:c.975T>G inducing a STOP codon at position 325 of the mature protein. The absence of CD36 expression on the mother’s platelets was confirmed by flow cytometry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidences show that cluster determinant 36 (CD36) protein plays a role in lipid metabolism and insulin resistance, and the expression of CD36 is inducible in obesity. The present study evaluated the association of CD36 variants and the interaction with obesity on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk. METHODS We performed a case-control study nested in the Rural Chinese Cohort Study. We included 546 incident T2DM cases matched with non-T2DM controls in a 1:1 ratio by sex, age (within 2 years), marital status, and residence village. Four loci in CD36 (rs1194197, rs2151916, rs3211956, and rs7755) were genotyped by SNPscanTM Genotyping system. RESULTS After adjusting for potential confounding, we observed no statistically significant association between the CD36 polymorphisms and T2DM risk. Compared to wild-type homozygous carriers with normal weight, overweight/obesity participants carrying the mutational allele rs7755 showed increased risk of T2DM, by 114% (OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.33-3.46; Pinteraction = 0.007); abdominal obesity participants carrying the mutational allele rs7755 showed increased risk of T2DM, by 133% (OR = 2.33, 95% CI: 1.48-3.66; Pinteraction = 0.002). Furthermore, rs2151916 polymorphism was associated with triglycerides level (P = 0.019), and the rs1194197 variant was related to systolic blood pressure (P = 0.023) within the group of controls. CONCLUSIONS CD36 genotypes were not associated with the progression to T2DM independently. However, our results suggested a positive interaction between the CD36 variants and obesity on T2DM susceptibility, which might be through a cardiometabolic disorder.

Abstract
Allelic heterogeneity is a common phenomenon where a gene exhibits a different phenotype depending on the nature of its genetic mutations. In the context of genes affecting malaria susceptibility, it allowed us to explore and understand the intricate host–parasite interactions during malaria infections. In this study, we described a gene encoding erythrocytic ankyrin-1 (Ank-1) which exhibits allelic-dependent heterogeneous phenotypes during malaria infections. We conducted an ENU mutagenesis screen on mice and identified two Ank-1 mutations, one resulting in an amino acid substitution (MRI95845), and the other a truncated Ank-1 protein (MRI96570). Both mutations caused hereditary spherocytosis-like phenotypes and confer differing protection against Plasmodium chabaudi infections. Upon further examination, the Ank-1(MRI96570) mutation was found to inhibit intraerythrocytic parasite maturation, whereas Ank-1(MRI95845) caused increased bystander erythrocyte clearance during infection. This is the first description of allelic heterogeneity in ankyrin-1 from the direct comparison between two Ank-1 mutations. Despite the lack of direct evidence from population studies, this data further supported the protective roles of ankyrin-1 mutations in conferring malaria protection. This study also emphasized the importance of such phenomena in achieving a better understanding of host–parasite interactions, which could be the basis of future studies.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the association of CD36, a class B scavenger receptor, rs6969989 polymorphism with the serum lipid profiles in Korean women, together with their modulation by oily fish consumption. Subjects were participants from the Korean Genome Epidemiology Study (KoGES), which was initiated in 2001 as a large-scale. A total of 4,210 women aged 39 to 70 were included in this study. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, and blood chemical analysis. Dietary intake was analyzed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The minor allele frequency for rs6969989 was found in 12% of this population. Homozygotes minor G allele at the rs6868989 exhibited significantly higher high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations (P-trend=0.043) and lower fasting glucose (P-trend=0.013) than major allele A carriers. The risk of low HDL-C was significantly lower in homozygotes for the G allele than the A allele carriers (P-trend=0.032). Gene-diet interaction effects between rs6969989 and oily fish intake were significantly associated with the risk of dyslipidemia (P-interaction= 0.004). Subjects with homozygotes minor G allele and high oily fish intake generally had a lower risk of dyslipidemia than did those with major allele homozygotes and low oily fish intake. These findings supported that oily fish consumption may modulate the contributions of CD36 rs6969989 on genetic predisposition to the risk of dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae remains an important cause of intrapulmonary infection and invasive disease worldwide. K. pneumoniae can evade serum killing and phagocytosis primarily through the expression of a polysaccharide capsule, but its pathogenicity is also influenced by host factors. We examined whether CD36, a scavenger receptor that recognizes pathogen and modified self ligands, is a host determinant of K. pneumoniae pathogenicity. Despite differences in serum sensitivity and virulence of 3 distinct K. pneumoniae (hypermucoviscous K1, research K2, and carbapenemase-producing ST258) strains, the absence of CD36 significantly increased host susceptibility to acute intrapulmonary infection by K. pneumoniae, regardless of strain. We demonstrate that CD36 enhances LPS responsiveness to K. pneumoniae to increase downstream cytokine production and macrophage phagocytosis that is independent of polysaccharide capsular antigen. Our study provides new insights into host determinants of K. pneumoniae pathogenicity and raises the possibility that functional mutations in CD36 may predispose individuals to K. pneumoniae syndromes.

Abstract
Alloimmunisation to platelets leads to the production of antibodies against platelet antigens and consequently to thrombocytopenia. Numerous molecules located on the platelet surface are antigenic and induce immune-mediated platelet destruction with symptoms that can be serious. Human platelet antigens (HPA) cause thrombocytopenias, such as neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, post-transfusion purpura, and platelet transfusion refractoriness. Thirty-four HPA are classified into 28 systems. Assays to identify HPA and anti-HPA antibodies are critically important for preventing and treating thrombocytopenia caused by anti-HPA antibodies. Significant progress in furthering our understanding of HPA has been made in the last decade: new HPA have been discovered, antibody-detection methods have improved, and new genotyping methods have been developed. We review these advances and discuss issues that remain to be resolved as well as future prospects for preventing and treating immune thrombocytopenia.

Variants of CD36 gene and their association with CD36 protein expression in platelets. BLOOD TRANSFUSION = TRASFUSIONE DEL SANGUE 2014; 12:557-64.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between CD36 expression level in platelets and polymorphism of the CD36 gene still needs to be explored. Here, we investigated polymorphisms of the CD36 gene and CD36 expression level in platelets in the Chinese Han population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 477 samples were sequenced for exons 2 to 14 of the CD36 gene using a polymerase chain reaction sequence-based typing method. In 192 of these individuals the expression levels of CD36 antigen were analysed by flow cytometry. The genotype-phenotype relationship in platelets was analysed. RESULTS A total of 22 variants of the CD36 gene were identified, of which five variants (111 A>T, 681 C>A, 1172-1183 del12b, 1236 delT and 1395 A>C) were novel variations, and nine were also found in single nucleotide polymorphism database (dbSNP) but had not been confirmed in individuals with CD36 deficiency. Two variants (329-332 delAC and 1228-1239 del12bp) in the coding region are the most frequent mutations in the Chinese population. Type II CD36 deficiency was identified in seven of 192 individuals, giving a frequency of 3.6%. Individuals with CD36 variations or wild-type genotypes both showed CD36 antigen negative, low-level and high-level expression patterns in platelets. The frequency of the nt-132 A>C polymorphism in the 5'-UTR is relatively high in the Chinese population (0.3516): the expression of CD36 was lower in individuals with nt-132 A>C than in those with the wild-type genotype. DISCUSSION The distribution of CD36 gene variants in the Chinese population is different from that previously reported. The levels of expression of CD36 antigen in platelets are not determined directly by the genotypes of the CD36 coding region. This suggests that the molecular basis of type II CD36 deficiency may be derived from combined effects of coding region and potential cis-regulatory elements in the 5'-UTR of the CD36 gene.

Abstract
Evidence supporting a "taste" cue from fat in the oral cavity continues to accrue. The proposed stimuli for fat taste, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), are released from food through hydrolytic rancidity and lipase activity derived from foods or saliva. NEFA must then be released from the food matrix, negotiate the aqueous environment to reach taste cell surfaces, and interact with receptors such as CD36 and GPR120 or diffuse across cell membranes to initiate a taste signal. Knowledge of these processes in non-gustatory tissues should inform understanding of taste responses to NEFA. Additionally, downstream effects of oral triglyceride exposure have been observed in numerous studies. Data specific to effects of NEFA versus triglyceride are scarce, but modified sham feeding trials with triglyceride document cephalic phase responses including elevations in serum lipids and insulin as well as potential, but debated, effects on gut peptides, appetite, and thermogenesis. In this review, we highlight the mechanisms by which NEFA migrate to and interact with taste cells, and then we examine physiological responses to oral fat exposure.

Abstract
CD36 (also known as GPIV) deficiency is known to be responsible for the production of anti-Nak(a) antibodies in different clinical settings such as fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT), platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) and post-transfusion purpura (PTP). However, no data regarding the relevance of CD36 immunisation is currently available for China. In this study, healthy blood donors were typed for CD36 deficiency using flow cytometry. Nucleotide sequencing was performed to identify the molecular basis underlying the CD36 deficiency. Anti-Nak(a) antibodies in CD36-deficient individuals were analysed by ELISA and flow cytometry. By analysis of 998 healthy blood donors, 18 individuals failed to express CD36 on their platelets. In 5/12 individuals no CD36 expression was detected both on platelets and monocytes. This result suggested that the frequencies of type I CD36 deficiency (platelets and monocytes) and type II CD36 deficiency (platelets only) are approximately 0.5 and 1.3%, respectively. Nucleotide sequencing analysis of type I CD36 deficient individuals revealed eight different mutations; four of them were not described so far. However, 1228-1239del ATTGTGCCTATT and 329-330delAC appear to be the most common mutations related to type I CD36 deficiency in South Chinese population. Further analysis showed that 1/5 type I CD36 deficient individuals developed anti-Nak(a) antibodies. In addition, anti-Nak(a) antibodies could be identified in two cases of thrombocytopenia associated with FNAIT and PTR. In conclusion, more than 0.5% of CD36 type I-deficient individuals are at risk to be immunised through blood transfusion or pregnancy in China. Testing of anti-Nak(a) antibodies should be considered in FNAIT and PTR suspected cases. A registry of CD36-deficient donors should be established to allow treatment of immune-mediated bleeding disorders caused by anti-Nak(a) antibodies.

Abstract
Background CD36, known as a scavenger receptor, is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on monocytes, platelets and endothelial cells, recognizes multiple ligands, including phosphatidylserine, and regulates atherogenesis and thrombosis. The objective of this study is to investigate the possible involvement of CD36 in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Methods First, rs3765187, a missense mutation linked to CD36 deficiency, was investigated by TaqMan polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping method in 819 Japanese, including 132 patients with APS, 265 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the absence of APS, and 422 healthy subjects. Then, the involvement of CD36 in antiphospholipid antibody (aPL)-induced tissue factor (TF) expression was examined using CD36-null mice or anti-CD36. Purified IgG from patients with APS and a monoclonal phosphatidylserine-dependent antiprothrombin antibody were used in these experiments. TF expression was tested by real-time PCR and flow cytometry. Results Minor allele carrier of rs3765187 was less frequent in patients with APS (3.8% p = 0.032), but not in patients with SLE in the absence of APS (7.9% p = 0.32), compared with healthy subjects (10.2%). The aPL-induced TF expression was significantly suppressed on peritoneal macrophages from CD36-null mice compared to wild type and significantly inhibited by anti-CD36 on human monocytes. Conclusions The gene mutation linked to CD36 deficiency was less frequent in patients with APS. The deficient or suppressed CD36 function significantly reduced aPL-induced TF expression in vitro. Taken together, in a susceptible background CD36 scavenger receptor function may be involved in the thrombotic pathophysiology in patients with APS.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in genes that encode crucial signalling molecules have been proposed as factors that influence susceptibility to, and outcome of malaria. We studied the role of a mutation, c.1264 T>G, that causes CD36 deficiency on IgG responses to MSP-1₁₉ antigen and malaria incidence. Children were genotyped for the c.1264 T>G mutation at the beginning of the study using PCR-RFLP. IgG levels [optical density (OD) readings] and per cent seropositivity to MSP-1₁₉ were determined at baseline by ELISA. Children were followed for 12 months for acquisition of anti-MSP-1₁₉ IgG antibody and malaria incidence. We observed a significant increase in the production of anti-MSP-1₁₉ IgG antibody in normal and heterozygous children during the 12 months of follow-up, but not in homozygous mutants. Normal children had a significantly lower malaria incidence rate compared to other genotypes (χ² = 115.59; P < 0.01). We conclude that the presence of the c.1264 T>G mutation that leads to CD36 deficiency is closely associated with reduced IgG production and higher malaria incidence. It is most likely that deficiency of CD36 which is known to modulate dendritic cell function suppresses the production of protective IgG antibodies directed to Plasmodium falciparum MSP-1₁₉ antigen, which predisposes to the acquisition of clinical malaria in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiparameter flow cytometric analysis of bone marrow and peripheral blood cells has proven to be of help in the diagnostic workup of myelodysplastic syndromes. However, the usefulness of flow cytometry for the detection of megakaryocytic and platelet dysplasia has not yet been investigated. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate by flow cytometry the diagnostic and prognostic value of platelet dysplasia in myelodysplastic syndromes. DESIGN AND METHODS We investigated the pattern of expression of distinct surface glycoproteins on peripheral blood platelets from a series of 44 myelodysplastic syndrome patients, 20 healthy subjects and 19 patients with platelet alterations associated to disease conditions other than myelodysplastic syndromes. Quantitative expression of CD31, CD34, CD36, CD41a, CD41b, CD42a, CD42b and CD61 glycoproteins together with the PAC-1, CD62-P, fibrinogen and CD63 platelet activation-associated markers and platelet light scatter properties were systematically evaluated. RESULTS Overall, flow cytometry identified multiple immunophenotypic abnormalities on platelets of myelodysplastic syndrome patients, including altered light scatter characteristics, over-and under expression of specific platelet glycoproteins and asynchronous expression of CD34; decreased expression of CD36 (n = 5), CD42a (n = 1) and CD61 (n = 2), together with reactivity for CD34 (n = 1) were only observed among myelodysplastic syndrome cases, while other alterations were also found in other platelet disorders. Based on the overall platelet alterations detected for each patient, an immunophenotypic score was built which identified a subgroup of myelodysplastic syndrome patients with a high rate of moderate to severe alterations (score>1.5; n = 16) who more frequently showed thrombocytopenia, megakaryocytic dysplasia and high-risk disease, together with a shorter overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Our results show the presence of altered phenotypes by flow cytometry on platelets from around half of the myelodysplastic syndrome patients studied. If confirmed in larger series of patients, these findings may help refine the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of this group of disorders.

Abstract
Plasmodium falciparum malaria has long been a killer of the young, and has selected for polymorphisms affecting not only erythrocytes, but the immunogenetics of three histocompatibility systems: ABO, human leukocyte antigen (HLA), and CD36. The ABO system is important because the original allele, encoding glycosylation with the A sugar, acts as an adhesion ligand with infected red blood cells (iRBC), thereby promoting vasoocclusion. The prevalence of blood group O, which reduces this cytoadhesion, has increased in endemic areas. Other adaptations which could mitigate A-mediated rosetting include weaker A expression and increased soluble A secretion. The role of the HLA system in malaria has been harder to verify. Although HLA-B53 and DRB1*04 may be associated with clinical outcome, HLA studies are challenged by numerous comparisons in this most polymorphic of systems, and confounded by increasingly heterogeneous populations. Certain HLA markers may also reflect linkage artefact with other malaria-relevant polymorphisms. HLA may be less important because the parasite predominantly invades a compartment which does not express HLA. Adhesion of iRBCs is also mediated by CD36, expressed on platelets, monocytes, and microvascular endothelium. CD36 on monocytes is involved in clearing iRBC, while CD36 on platelets and the endothelium may play a role in tissue sequestration. The genetics of CD36 expression are complex, and recent research is fraught with inconsistent results. The solution may lie in examining genotype-phenotype correlations, zygosity effects on differential tissue expression, or other mechanisms altering CD36 tissue expression. Carefully designed prospective studies should bridge the gap between in-vitro observations and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Lipid-laden macrophages or "foam cells" are the primary components of the fatty streak, the earliest atherosclerotic lesion. Although Vav family guanine nucleotide exchange factors impact processes highly relevant to atherogenesis and are involved in pathways common to scavenger receptor CD36 signaling, their role in CD36-dependent macrophage foam cell formation remains unknown. The goal of the present study was to determine the contribution of Vav proteins to CD36-dependent foam cell formation and to identify the mechanisms by which Vavs participate in the process. We found that CD36 contributes to activation of Vav-1, -2, and -3 in aortae from hyperlipidemic mice and that oxidatively modified LDL (oxLDL) induces activation of macrophage Vav in vitro in a CD36 and Src family kinase-dependent manner. CD36-dependent uptake of oxLDL in vitro and foam cell formation in vitro and in vivo was significantly reduced in Vav null macrophages. These studies for the first time link CD36 and Vavs in a signaling pathway required for macrophage foam cell formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flow cytometric measurement of monocyte surface CD36 is relevant to several conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lipid disorders, platelet isoimmunization, and susceptibility to P falciparum malaria. CD36 is also strongly expressed on platelets where it is also known as platelet glycoprotein IV. METHODS Whole blood samples, containing identical monocyte concentrations, were adjusted to contain platelets ranging from 20,000/uL to 600,000/uL, were stained with fluorescent-labeled anti-CD36, and analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS CD36 median fluorescent intensity (MFI) observed on monocytes decreased as the platelet concentration in the sample increased with more than a 50% decline in monocyte MFI over the normal range of platelet values. The effect was not abolished by using larger volumes of monoclonal antibody and was observed with different clones of reagent anti-CD36. The findings were most consistent with competition by platelets for the CD36 reagent. Similar findings were observed with antibody to class I HLA. Under defined assay conditions, monocyte CD36 MFI declined with rising platelet concentration in a predictable fashion following an inverse linear relationship. CONCLUSIONS Measurement of CD36 expression on monocytes by flow cytometry in whole blood samples is affected by the sample platelet count. When comparing the monocyte CD36 expression among different individuals, our approach can be used to adjust measured monocyte CD36 expression for the effect of the platelet concentration in the sample. Competition by platelets for monoclonal reagents may occur in other settings when whole blood assays are used and when the target antigen is strongly expressed on both platelets and leukocytes.

Abstract
Background Members of the CD36 scavenger receptor family have been implicated as sensors of microbial products that mediate phagocytosis and inflammation in response to a broad range of pathogens. We investigated the role of CD36 in host response to mycobacterial infection. Methods Experimental Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) infection in Cd36+/+ and Cd36-/- mice, and in vitro co-cultivation of M. tuberculosis, BCG and M. marinum with Cd36+/+ and Cd36-/-murine macrophages. Results Using an in vivo model of BCG infection in Cd36+/+ and Cd36-/- mice, we found that mycobacterial burden in liver and spleen is reduced (83% lower peak splenic colony forming units, p < 0.001), as well as the density of granulomas, and circulating tumor necrosis factor (TNF) levels in Cd36-/- animals. Intracellular growth of all three mycobacterial species was reduced in Cd36-/- relative to wild type Cd36+/+ macrophages in vitro. This difference was not attributable to alterations in mycobacterial uptake, macrophage viability, rate of macrophage apoptosis, production of reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen species, TNF or interleukin-10. Using an in vitro model designed to recapitulate cellular events implicated in mycobacterial infection and dissemination in vivo (i.e., phagocytosis of apoptotic macrophages containing mycobacteria), we demonstrated reduced recovery of viable mycobacteria within Cd36-/- macrophages. Conclusions Together, these data indicate that CD36 deficiency confers resistance to mycobacterial infection. This observation is best explained by reduced intracellular survival of mycobacteria in the Cd36-/- macrophage and a role for CD36 in the cellular events involved in granuloma formation that promote early bacterial expansion and dissemination.

Abstract
Long-chain fatty acids and lipids serve a wide variety of functions in mammalian homeostasis, particularly in the formation and dynamic properties of biological membranes and as fuels for energy production in tissues such as heart and skeletal muscle. On the other hand, long-chain fatty acid metabolites may exert toxic effects on cellular functions and cause cell injury. Therefore, fatty acid uptake into the cell and intracellular handling need to be carefully controlled. In the last few years, our knowledge of the regulation of cellular fatty acid uptake has dramatically increased. Notably, fatty acid uptake was found to occur by a mechanism that resembles that of cellular glucose uptake. Thus, following an acute stimulus, particularly insulin or muscle contraction, specific fatty acid transporters translocate from intracellular stores to the plasma membrane to facilitate fatty acid uptake, just as these same stimuli recruit glucose transporters to increase glucose uptake. This regulatory mechanism is important to clear lipids from the circulation postprandially and to rapidly facilitate substrate provision when the metabolic demands of heart and muscle are increased by contractile activity. Studies in both humans and animal models have implicated fatty acid transporters in the pathogenesis of diseases such as the progression of obesity to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. As a result, membrane fatty acid transporters are now being regarded as a promising therapeutic target to redirect lipid fluxes in the body in an organ-specific fashion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The expression of CD36 (platelet glycoprotein IV) is variable among different individuals and cannot be determined by gene analysis. Previous studies suggest that CD36 expression plays a central role in the pathophysiology of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, a disease of global significance. METHODS We developed a flow cytometric method to quantitatively measure CD36 on monocytes and platelets from whole blood using antibodies to CD36, CD14, and CD61 directly conjugated to different fluorochromes. Commercially available fluorescent beads were used to quantify CD36 expression. RESULTS The assay was successfully run at three different centers. African-Americans (n = 57), nonAfrican-Americans (n = 33), individuals with and without hemoglobin S (n = 15 and n = 12), and children with P falciparum malaria (n = 97) were tested. Platelet-monocyte aggregates, present to varying degrees in different anticoagulants, were eliminated from final analysis. The median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD36 among different subjects followed a log-normal distribution. Among African-Americans, 5% were CD36-deficient (logMFI < 1.5; MFI < 32). Expression of platelet CD36 paralleled monocyte CD36. CONCLUSIONS Flow cytometry can be used to quantify the expression of CD36 of platelets and monocytes in EDTA whole blood. The assay will allow investigation of the relationship between CD36 and clinical outcome in malaria and other disease states.

Abstract
The prevalence of CD36 deficiency in East Asian and African populations suggests that the causal variants are under selection by severe malaria. Previous analysis of data from the International HapMap Project indicated that a CD36 haplotype bearing a nonsense mutation (T1264G; rs3211938) had undergone recent positive selection in the Yoruba of Nigeria. To investigate the global distribution of this putative selection event, we genotyped T1264G in 3420 individuals from 66 populations. We confirmed the high frequency of 1264G in the Yoruba (26%). However, the 1264G allele is less common in other African populations and absent from all non-African populations without recent African admixture. Using long-range linkage disequilibrium, we studied two West African groups in depth. Evidence for recent positive selection at the locus was demonstrable in the Yoruba, although not in Gambians. We screened 70 variants from across CD36 for an association with severe malaria phenotypes, employing a case–control study of 1350 subjects and a family study of 1288 parent–offspring trios. No marker was significantly associated with severe malaria. We focused on T1264G, genotyping 10 922 samples from four African populations. The nonsense allele was not associated with severe malaria (pooled allelic odds ratio 1.0; 95% confidence interval 0.89–1.12; P = 0.98). These results suggest a range of possible explanations including the existence of alternative selection pressures on CD36, co-evolution between host and parasite or confounding caused by allelic heterogeneity of CD36 deficiency.

Abstract
For many years, fat in meats have been considered to convey quality although variations in the amounts of fat were often poorly correlated with eating qualities. The contribution of fat to taste is equally controversial, because a specific 'fat taste' perception had not been characterized. The innate attraction for fats may be due to one or more of orosensory, post-ingestive and metabolic signals. This literature review suggests that taste of lipids, particularly of oxidized PUFAs and their esters, may derive from a specific fatty acid perception mechanism in human lingual papillae. Interactions of the CD36 scavenger system with the many compounds derived from fats in cooked and processed meats offer an explanation for the variety of flavors and off-flavors found in meats. The genetic variations in the presence of receptor proteins could be one of the factors related to the differences in fat preferences in different countries and between genders.

Abstract
Although acute lung injury (ALI) is a common complication of severe malaria, little is known about the underlying molecular basis of lung dysfunction. Animal models have provided powerful insights into the pathogenesis of severe malaria syndromes such as cerebral malaria (CM); however, no model of malaria-induced lung injury has been definitively established. This study used bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), histopathology and gene expression analysis to examine the development of ALI in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA (PbA). BAL fluid of PbA-infected C57BL/6 mice revealed a significant increase in IgM and total protein prior to the development of CM, indicating disruption of the alveolar–capillary membrane barrier—the physiological hallmark of ALI. In contrast to sepsis-induced ALI, BAL fluid cell counts remained constant with no infiltration of neutrophils. Histopathology showed septal inflammation without cellular transmigration into the alveolar spaces. Microarray analysis of lung tissue from PbA-infected mice identified a significant up-regulation of expressed genes associated with the gene ontology categories of defense and immune response. Severity of malaria-induced ALI varied in a panel of inbred mouse strains, and development of ALI correlated with peripheral parasite burden but not CM susceptibility. Cd36−/− mice, which have decreased parasite lung sequestration, were relatively protected from ALI. In summary, parasite burden and CD36-mediated sequestration in the lung are primary determinants of ALI in experimental murine malaria. Furthermore, differential susceptibility of mouse strains to malaria-induced ALI and CM suggests that distinct genetic determinants may regulate susceptibility to these two important causes of malaria-associated morbidity and mortality. Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can occur in adult malaria infections with a case fatality rate of 70%–100%. ALI and ARDS are characterized by protein-rich fluid in the lungs, with reduced gas exchange, and in malaria, often accompany high parasite levels and severe or cerebral disease. In this work we have examined lung physiology, pathology and genomics in mouse malaria—Plasmodium berghei ANKA—to show that mice develop malaria-induced ALI. Infected mice have proteinaceous fluid in their lungs, have a migration of inflammatory cells from the blood into the lung walls, and express immune response–related genes. We also found that severity of ALI depended on high parasite levels, both overall and specifically in the lung tissue, but was not consistent with whether the mice developed cerebral malaria. ALI due to Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection models prominent characteristics of human malaria-associated ALI, and we have better defined this model of malaria ALI so it may be used to further explore disease mechanisms and eventual treatment.

Abstract
Anti-CD36 antibodies are known to cause a platelet refractory state. We describe a previously unreported case of a 16-year-old female sickle cell disease patient with anti-CD36 antibodies, detected on routine screen prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). CD36 platelet antigen typing was negative for both the patient and her HLA-identical donor sibling. Patient plasma was compatible with 48 of 49 apheresis platelets, which were untested and presumably positive for the CD36 antigen. The patient responded adequately to transfusion of crossmatch compatible platelets and successfully underwent HSCT. The presence of anti-CD36 antibodies does not exclude potential candidates from HSCT.

Abstract
A region along chromosome 7q was recently linked to components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in several genome-wide linkage studies. Within this region, the CD36 gene, which encodes a membrane receptor for long-chain fatty acids and lipoproteins, is a potentially important candidate. CD36 has been documented to play an important role in fatty acid metabolism in vivo and subsequently may be involved in the etiology of the MetS. The protein also impacts survival to malaria and the influence of natural selection has resulted in high CD36 genetic variability in populations of African descent. We evaluated 36 tag SNPs across CD36 in the HyperGen population sample of 2020 African-Americans for impact on the MetS and its quantitative traits. Five SNPs associated with increased odds for the MetS [P = 0.0027-0.03, odds ratio (OR) = 1.3-1.4]. Coding SNP, rs3211938, previously shown to influence malaria susceptibility, is documented to result in CD36 deficiency in a homozygous subject. This SNP conferred protection against the MetS (P = 0.0012, OR = 0.61, 95%CI: 0.46-0.82), increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C (P = 0.00018) and decreased triglycerides (P = 0.0059). Fifteen additional SNPs associated with HDL-C (P = 0.0028-0.044). We conclude that CD36 variants may impact MetS pathophysiology and HDL metabolism, both predictors of the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD36 is a multifunctional membrane receptor and a cell-adhesion molecule that is expressed in platelets, monocytes/macrophages, microvascular endothelial cells, cardiac monocytes and adipocytes. In this study, we investigated whether genetic polymorphisms of the CD36 gene are associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a Korean population. METHODS PCR and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assays were performed to analyze the following CD36 gene polymorphisms: a (TG) repeat in intron 3 and the base substitution 478C>T (Pro90Ser). A total of 219 patients with significant CAD and 236 control subjects were examined with regard to their genotypes, lipid profiles and other risk factors for CAD. RESULTS The frequency of (TG) 11- or 12-repeat homozygotes was significantly higher in male CAD patients than in control men (28.4% vs. 15.7%, OR=2.13, p=0.018). Homozygosity for the (TG) 11- or 12-repeat allele was also significantly associated with a higher body mass index (BMI) compared to non-carriers in 134 control men after controlling for age, smoking and hypertension, and explains a 13% BMI variation observed in this study (p=0.015, analysis of covariance). For the 478C >T mutation, which has been reported to be associated with CD36 deficiency, there was no difference in the frequency of the 478T allele between CAD patients and control subjects. However, the 478T allele was found to be closely linked with a (TG) 11- or 12-repeat allele of intron 3 in the control subjects (chi2=18.88, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The (TG) repeat polymorphism in intron 3 of the CD36 gene is associated with a higher BMI and cardiovascular risk for men in a Korean population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 'high and low responder' phenomenon describes an intersubject variability in mononuclear cell (MNC) prothrombotic reactivity to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Because alterations in surface CD36 expression in monocytes were associated with impaired monocyte function, we studied the relationship between the levels of surface CD36 presentation and the prothrombotic reactivity of monocytes from high-responder (HR) and low-responder (LR) individuals. METHODS AND RESULTS The relationship between levels of tissue factor (TF) expression and surface CD36 presentation in MNCs from HR individuals (n = 7) and LR individuals (n = 8) was investigated. Resting MNCs from HR individuals contained significantly more TF mRNA but levels of TF antigen and procoagulant activity similar to MNCs from LR individuals. Resting CD14+ MNCs from HR individuals expressed significantly lower surface CD36, as mean fluorescence intensities (MFIs) were 70.4 +/- 6.3 vs. 132.0 +/- 14.5 arbitrary units (AU) in HR and LR individuals, respectively. MFI from surface TF negatively correlated with surface CD36 in the population of resting (r = -0.598, P = 0.031) and LPS-stimulated (r = -0.672, P = 0.009) CD14+ cells. LPS-stimulated MNCs from HR individuals contained significantly more TF in a surface pool (2079 +/- 199 vs. 786 +/- 57 AU) along with higher TF procoagulant activity (57.3 +/- 15.2 vs. 21.1 +/- 4.5 mU 10(6) cells(-1)) as compared with LR individuals. CD14+ MNCs from HR individuals expressed less surface CD36 during a 2-h LPS challenge. CONCLUSIONS A novel phenotype of monocytes characterized by high TF and low CD36 presentation could be further developed for use as a marker for detection of HR individuals prone to developing prothrombotic conditions.

Abstract
CD36 is a multiligand receptor associated with a broad array of physiological processes and involved in markedly diverse disorders, including atherosclerosis, insulin resistance and diabetes, dyslipidemia, tumor angiogenesis, and host defense against Plasmodium falciparum. CD36 deficiency has proved to be common, particularly in ethnic groups such as African Americans and Asians. CD36 is commonly expressed on blasts in acute monocytic leukemia, megakaryoblastic leukemia, and erythroleukemia. The role of CD36 in sickle cell crises and cerebral malaria is debatable. As a receptor for thrombospondin 1, CD36 plays a role in the regulation of angiogenesis, which may be a therapeutic strategy for controlling the dissemination of malignant neoplasms. The future challenge will be to further understand the mechanisms by which CD36 affects these diverse functions and to design therapeutic strategies that can alter the course of the diseases.

Abstract
CD36 mediates the transfer of fatty acids (FAs) across the plasma membranes of muscle and adipose cells, thus playing an important role in regulating peripheral FA metabolism in vivo. In the proximal intestine, CD36 is localized in abundant quantities on the apical surface of epithelial cells, a pattern similar to that of other proteins implicated in the uptake of dietary FAs. To define the role of CD36 in the intestine, we examined FA utilization and lipoprotein secretion by WT and CD36-null mice in response to acute and chronic fat feeding. CD36-null mice given a fat bolus by gavage or fed a high-fat diet accumulated neutral lipid in the proximal intestine, which indicated abnormal lipid processing. Using a model in which mice were equipped with lymph fistulae, we obtained evidence of defective lipoprotein secretion by directly measuring lipid output. The secretion defect appeared to reflect an impaired ability of CD36-null enterocytes to efficiently synthesize triacylglycerols from dietary FAs in the endoplasmic reticulum. In the plasma of intact mice, the reduced intestinal lipid secretion was masked by slow clearance of intestine-derived lipoproteins. The impaired clearance occurred despite normal lipoprotein lipase activity and likely reflected feedback inhibition of the lipase by FAs due to their defective removal from the plasma. We conclude that CD36 is important for both secretion and clearance of intestinal lipoproteins. CD36 deficiency results in hypertriglyceridemia both in the postprandial and fasting states and in humans may constitute a risk factor for diet-induced type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by increased plasma triglyceride levels and a fourfold increase in ischemic heart disease, but the mechanism is unclear. CD36 is a receptor/transporter that binds fatty acids of lipoproteins. CD36 deficiency has been linked with insulin resistance. There is strong evidence of in vivo interaction between platelets and atherogenic lipoproteins suggesting that atherogenic triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, such as VLDL, that are increased in diabetic dyslipidemia are important in this process. This study demonstrates that VLDL binds to the platelet receptor CD36, enhances platelet thromboxane A2 production, and causes increased collagen-mediated platelet aggregation. VLDL enhanced collagen-induced platelet aggregation by 1) shortening the time taken for aggregation to begin (lag time) to 70% of control (P = 0.001); 2) increasing maximum aggregation to 170% of control (P = 0.008); and 3) increasing thromboxane production to 3,318% of control (P = 0.004), where control represents platelets stimulated with collagen (100%). A monoclonal antibody against CD36 attenuated VLDL-enhanced collagen-induced platelet aggregation by 1) inhibiting binding of VLDL to platelets by 75% (P = 0.041); 2) lengthening lag time to 190% (P < 0.001); and 3) decreasing thromboxane production to 8% of control (P < 0.001). In support of this finding, platelets from Cd36-deficient rats showed no increase in aggregation, thromboxane production, and VLDL binding in contrast to platelets from rats expressing CD36. These data suggest that platelet Cd36 has a key role in VLDL-induced collagen-mediated platelet aggregation, possibly contributing to atherothrombosis associated with increased VLDL levels.
