Human and Mouse Eosinophils Differ in Their Ability to Biosynthesize Eicosanoids, Docosanoids, the Endocannabinoid 2-Arachidonoyl-glycerol and Its Congeners

Cells, 2022
High eosinophil (EOS) counts are a key feature of eosinophilic asthma. EOS notably affect asthmatic response by generating several lipid mediators. Mice have been utilized in hopes of defining new pharmacological targets to treat asthma.

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Effect of extra virgin olive oil components on the arachidonic acid cascade, colorectal cancer and colon cancer cell proliferation

Grasas y Aceites, 2016
The mediterranean diet (MD) reduced the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), and olive oil, the primary source of fat in the MD, has also been found to have a protective effect. However, animals fed with oleic acid present a high number of intestinal tumours,

Identification of four secretory phospholipase A2s in a lepidopteran insect, Acrolepiopsis sapporensis, and their functional association with cellular immune responses

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
BackgroundEicosanoids are a group of the oxygenated C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids and play crucial roles in mediating various insect physiological processes. Catalytic activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) provides an initial substrate, arachidonic acid (

Elevating microRNA-122 in blood improves outcomes after temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats. [PDF]

, 2016
Because our recent studies have demonstrated that miR-122 decreased in whole blood of patients and in whole blood of rats following ischemic stroke, we tested whether elevating blood miR-122 would improve stroke outcomes in rats.

Metabolomic and lipidomic signatures of Helicobacter pylori infection: Unveiling biochemical pathways associated with neurodegeneration

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Our study employed an integrated lipidomics and metabolomics approach to elucidate Helicobacter pylori‐driven metabolic perturbations along the gut–brain axis. H. pylori infection was established in gastric epithelial (AGS) cells, and the resulting conditioned media (secretome) was collected and exposed to neuronal (IMR‐32) cells.

Disruption of FADS2 gene in mice impairs male reproduction and causes dermal and intestinal ulceration

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Delta-6 desaturase (D6D) catalyzes the first step in the synthesis of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) such as arachidonic (AA), docosapentaenoic (DPAn-6), and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, as well as the last desaturation of DPAn-6 and DHA.

Exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) suppresses the release of pro-inflammatory products by alveolar macrophages in vitro [PDF]

, 2010
Endocrine disrupting chemicals have adverse effects on immune function that may result in respiratory conditions. Inhalation of dust is a major route of exposure to PBDEs; however, the impact of PBDEs on the immune response is unclear.

Ovulating Female of Nine‐Spined Sticklebacks (Pungitius sinensis) Are Attracted to Substances Derived From Male Kidneys

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male sticklebacks (Gasterosteidae) produce an adhesive protein called “spiggin” in the tubular epithelial cells of their kidneys, which they use to attach plants or plant debris together and build nesting sites. Spiggin is a glycoprotein excreted in urine.
