Atypical protein kinase C (PKCzeta/lambda) is a convergent downstream target of the insulin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and TC10 signaling pathways. [PDF]

, 2004
Insulin stimulation of adipocytes resulted in the recruitment of atypical PKC (PKCzeta/lambda) to plasma membrane lipid raft microdomains. This redistribution of PKCzeta/lambda was prevented by Clostridium difficile toxin B and by cholesterol depletion ...

Molecular crosstalk via exosomes in lung cancer progression

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
“Molecular and theranostics roles of exosomes in Lung Cancer.” Abstract Exosomes play a critical role in lung cancer metastasis, facilitating tumor progression through intercellular communication between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment. These nanosized extracellular vesicles carry bioactive molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and ...

Biased signalling is an essential feature of TLR4 in glioma cells [PDF]

, 2016
A distinct feature of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is its ability to trigger both MyD88-dependent and MyD88-independent signalling, culminating in activation of pro-inflammatory NF-κB and/or the antiviral IRF3.

Diacetylene‐Functionalized Glycan Mimetics for Receptor‐Mediated Cluster Imprinting in Model Membranes

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Diacetylene‐containing glycan mimetics cluster upon selective lectin binding in GUVs. Subsequent irradiation leads to the formation of fluorescent polymer clusters, while non‐clustered glycan mimetics remain unaffected in the membrane. ABSTRACT The glycocalyx, a dense layer of glycoproteins and glycolipids on eukaryotic cells, is essential for cellular

The Contribution of Cholesterol and Squalene Synthase in Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms, Lipid Rafts and Therapeutic Approaches

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A plethora of cellular signaling pathways are dysregulated in cancer cells, promoting carcinogenesis and migration. Cholesterol has recently been linked to cancer by several subcellular mechanisms, especially by its involvement in the formation of lipid rafts, which promote oncogenic signaling and cancer cell invasion. Squalene synthase (SQS),

Caveolin-3 Null Mice Show a Loss of Caveolae, Changes in the Microdomain Distribution of the Dystrophin-Glycoprotein Complex, and T-tubule Abnormalities*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Caveolin-3, a muscle-specific caveolin-related protein, is the principal structural protein of caveolae membrane domains in striated muscle cells. Recently, we identified a novel autosomal dominant form of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD-1C) in ...

The development of compartmentation of cAMP signaling in cardiomyocytes: the role of T-Tubules and caveolae microdomains

, 2018
3′-5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a signaling messenger produced in response to the stimulation of cellular receptors, and has a myriad of functional applications depending on the cell type.

Acid Sphingomyelinase Regulates the Localization and Trafficking of Palmitoylated Proteins [PDF]

, 2019
In human, loss of Acid Sphingomeylinase (ASM/SMPD1) causes Niemann-Pick Disease, type A. ASM hydrolyzes sphingomyelins to produce ceramides but protein targets of ASM remain largely unclear. ...

Enhancing Selective Brain Cancer Therapy: Integrating Nanomedicine and Molecular Dynamics to Target the Cancerous Lipid Composition

Nano Select, EarlyView.
Improving selectivity within therapeutic design is critical to ensure targeted delivery to brain tumors. Targeting the cellular membrane composition distinctive of the blood–brain barrier and brain cancer cells is explored in this review. Nanomedicine can be utilized for precise tumor recognition, and detailed mechanistic interactions of therapeutics ...

Genotype-induced changes in biophysical properties of frontal cortex lipid raft from APP/PS1 transgenic mice

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Alterations in the lipid composition of lipid rafts have been demonstrated both in human brain and transgenic mouse models, and it has been postulated that aberrant lipid composition in lipid rafts is partly responsible for neuronal degeneration.
