Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), also known as alpha-2-macroglobulin receptor (A2MR), apolipoprotein E receptor (APOER) or cluster of differentiation 91 (CD91), is a

Structure

The LRP1 gene encodes a 600 kDa

complexes, and other proteins involved in lipoprotein metabolism.[8][9] Of the four domains, II and IV bind the majority of the protein's ligands.[11] The EGF repeats and β-propeller domains serve to release ligands in low pH conditions, such as inside endosomes, with the β-propeller postulated to displace the ligand at the ligand binding repeats.[9] The transmembrane domain is the β-chain, which contains a 100-residue cytoplasmic tail. This tail contains two NPxY motifs that are responsible for the protein's function in endocytosis and signal transduction.[8]

Function

LRP1 is a member of the LDLR family and ubiquitously expressed in multiple

blood brain barrier permeability, cell growth, cell migration, inflammation, and apoptosis, as well as diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, atherosclerosis, and cancer.[7][8][9][10][11] To elaborate, LRP1 mainly contributes to regulate protein activity by binding target proteins as a co-receptor, in conjunction with integral membrane proteins or adaptor proteins like uPA, to the lysosome for degradation.[9][10][11] In lipoprotein metabolism, the interaction between LRP1 and APOE stimulates a signaling pathway that leads to elevated intracellular cAMP levels, increased protein kinase A activity, inhibited SMC migration, and ultimately, protection against vascular disease.[9]
While
proteolytic cleavage of its ectodomain allows the free LRP1 to compete with the membrane-bound form and prevent their clearance.[8] Several sheddases have been implicated in the proteolytic cleavage of LRP1 such as ADAM10,[12] ADAM12,[13] ADAM17[14] and MT1-MMP.[13] LRP1 is also continuously endocytosed from the membrane and recycled back to the cell surface.[9] Though the role of LRP1 in apoptosis is unclear, it is required for tPA to bind LRP1 in order to trigger the ERK1/2 signal cascade and promote cell survival.[15]

Clinical significance

Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's is the decrease of LRP1 mediated by the metabolism of the amyloid precursor protein, leading to decreased neuronal cholesterol and increased amyloid beta.[16]

LRP1 is also implicated in the effective clearance of Aβ from the brain to the periphery across the blood-brain barrier.[17][18] LRP1 mediates pathways that interact with astrocytes and pericytes, which are associated with the blood-brain barrier. In support of this, LRP1 expression is reduced in endothelial cells as a result of normal aging and Alzheimer's disease in humans and animal models of the disease.[19][20] This clearance mechanism is modulated by the apoE isoforms, with the presence of the apoE4 isoform resulting in reduced transcytosis of Aβ in in vitro models of the blood-brain barrier.[21] The reduced clearance appears to be, at least in part, as a result of an increase in the ectodomain shedding of LRP1 by sheddases, resulting in the formation of soluble LRP1 which is no longer able to transcytose the Aβ peptides.[22]

In addition, over-accumulation of

blood brain barrier. This defective clearance may contribute to the buildup of neurotoxic amyloid-beta that is thought to contribute to Alzheimer's disease.[23]

Cardiovascular disease

Studies have elucidated different roles for LRP1 in cellular processes relevant for cardiovascular disease.

macrophages has an effect on atherosclerosis through the modulation of the extracellular matrix and inflammatory responses.[28][29]

Cancer

LRP1 is involved in tumorigenesis, and is proposed to be a tumor suppressor. Notably, LRP1 functions in clearing proteases such as

PAI-1 to recruit mast cells (MCs) and induce their degranulation, resulting in the release of MC mediators, activation of an inflammatory response, and development of glioma.[10]
