Methods
1.

Establishment of stable cell line to CL-P1

1) 

 Amplify a full-length cDNA of human CL-P1 from a human placenta cDNA library by PCR using the forward primer 5′-AATGCGGCCGCACCATGAAAGACGACTTCGCAGAG-3′ and the reverse primer 5′-GCTCTAGACCGCGGTAATGCAGATGACAGTAC-3′.

2) 

 Subclone the amplified human CL-P1 cDNA into pcDNA3.1/Myc-His A vector (Life Technologies, Inc.), sequence, and transfect into CHO-ldlA7 cells using Lipofectamine LTX reagent (Life Technologies, Inc.).

Comment 0
3) 

 Culture the cells in Ham's F-12 medium containing 5% fetal bovine serum and 0.4 mg/mL G418 (Life Technologies, Inc.) to select CL-P1 positive clones.

Lipoprotein Preparation

1) 

 Prepare human LDL from human plasma by stepwise sodium bromide density gradient centrifugation.

Comment 1
2) 

 After centrifugation, recover LDL from the fractions with densities of 1.09–1.063 g/cm3.

4) 

 Prepare OxLDL by the incubation of LDL (2 mg/mL) at 37°C for 24 h with 50 μM CuSO4.

Comment 1
5) 

 Stop the reaction by the addition of 0.25 mM EDTA.

Comment 0
6) 

 Label LDL and OxLDL with 1,1’-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI) (Life Technologies, Inc.).

Analysis of Lipoprotein Binding

1) 

 Plate CHO/CL-P1 and CHO-ldlA7 cells at densities of 3 × 104 cells/0.2 mL in 14-mm wells of 35-mm plastic culture dishes and culture in Ham's F-12 medium containing 5% fetal bovine serum with or without 0.4 mg/mL G418.

Comment 0
2) 

 Incubate cells at 4°C for 30 min with 5 μg/mL DiI-OxLDL in the presence or absence at 200 μg/mL of LDL and OxLDL, 10 μg/ml dextran sulfate, polycationic ligands (poly(A), poly(C)), and polyanionic ligands (poly(G), poly(I)).

Comment 0

Figure & Legends

Fig. 1. Binding of native LDL and modified LDLs to CHO/CL-P1, CHO/SR-BI, and CHO-ldlA7 cells.

a, DiI-LDL, DiI-AcLDL, and DiI-OxLDL were incubated at 4°C for 30 min with CHO-ldlA7, CHO/CL-P1, and CHO/SR-BI cells. CHO/SR-BI cells were used as a positive control, and CHO-ldlA7 cells were used as a negative control. b, the binding of DiI-OxLDL was inhibited by poly(I,G), OxLDL, and dextran sulfate but not by poly(A,C), AcLDL, or native LDL. Bars indicate standard deviations.

Fig. 2. Binding of microbes to CHO/CL-P1 cells.

a, photographs of CL-P1 expression and microbe binding. CHO/CL-P1 cells were stained with anti-Myc antibody and anti-mouse IgG conjugated with Alexa Fluor488. BioParticles of E. coli, S. aureus, and yeast (S. cerevisiae) conjugated with Texas Red or tetramethylrhodamine were used. b, the uptake of S. cerevisiae BioParticles by CHO/CL-P1 cells was performed at 37°C overnight under 5% CO2. After the same staining as in a, phagocytosed bioparticles were observed under a confocal laser scanning microscope.
