Osteoporosis: A role for lipids

open access: yesBiochimie, 2020
An inverse relationship between bone marrow (BM) adiposity and bone mass has been described in different physiological and pathological conditions, including osteoporosis (OP). In osteoporotic patients, lower bone mass density is indeed associated with higher BM fat content, suggesting a potential role for bone lipids in the OP pathogenesis ...

The photoswitchable cannabinoid azo‐HU308 enables optical control of Ca2+ dynamics in INS‐1 β‐cells via off‐target effects on TRPC channels

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Light activation of the photoswitchable cannabinoid ligand azo‐HU308 triggers Ca2+ influx in pancreatic β‐cells through TRPC channels, independent of CB2 cannabinoid receptors. This reveals a non‐GPCR pathway for cannabinoid modulation of β‐cell Ca2+ dynamics and establishes azo‐HU308 as an optical tool to study cannabinoid signaling through TRP ...

Poststatin Lipid Therapeutics: A Review

open access: yesMethodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal, 2019
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a well-established risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Statins remain the first-line therapy for patients with elevated LDL-C and increased risk. However, many at-risk patients do not achieve adequate LDL-C lowering with statin monotherapy or do not tolerate statins because of ...

Autophagosome marker, LC3, is released extracellularly via several distinct pathways

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study establishes a novel HiBiT‐tagging system for ultrasensitive detection of LC3, revealing multiple pathways for its extracellular secretion. It demonstrates that LC3 is released via both autophagy‐dependent and ‐independent mechanisms, including a novel route for nonlipidated LC3‐I.

Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...

Interplay of Klebsiella pneumoniae fabZ and lpxC Mutations Leads to LpxC Inhibitor-Dependent Growth Resulting from Loss of Membrane Homeostasis

open access: yesmSphere, 2018
Tight coordination of inner and outer membrane biosynthesis is very important in Gram-negative bacteria. Biosynthesis of the lipid A moiety of lipopolysaccharide, which comprises the outer leaflet of the outer membrane has garnered interest for Gram ...

ATP13A2 is involved in intracellular polyamine transport in lung epithelial cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Spermidine transport in lung epithelial cells involves the polyamine transporter ATP13A2. Cell proliferation is associated with the upregulation of ATP13A2. Polyamines are present in all living cells and are implicated in various crucial cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy.

Synthesis of resorcinolic lipids bearing structural similarities to cytosporone A

open access: yesQuímica Nova, 2009
Inspired by the structure and biological activities of resorcinolic lipids and, particularly cytosporone A- a potent inhibitor of plantule germination and growth, we have performed the synthesis of the analogs 3-heptyl-3-hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxy-2 ...
