Impairment of Membrane Lipid Homeostasis by Bichalcone Analog TSWU-BR4 Attenuates Function of GRP78 in Regulation of the Oxidative Balance and Invasion of Cancer Cells

Cells, 2020
The specialized cholesterol/sphingolipid-rich membrane domains termed lipid rafts are highly dynamic in the cancer cells, which rapidly assemble effector molecules to form a sorting platform essential for oncogenic signaling transduction in response to ...

Observation and Analysis of Model Lipid Raft Deformation Dynamics Induced by Lipoprotein–Gold Nanorod-based Devices to Manipulate Phase Transition of Lipid Bilayer [PDF]

, 2023
Lipid rafts, which are complexes that form on cholesterol-rich areas of cell membranes, play key roles as gates for the distribution of information between the inner and outer spaces of living cells.

Hematopoiesis is regulated by cholesterol efflux pathways and lipid rafts: connections with cardiovascular diseases

Journal of Lipid Research, 2020
Lipid rafts are highly ordered regions of the plasma membrane that are enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids and play important roles in many cells.

Loss of hepatic SMLR1 causes hepatosteatosis and protects against atherosclerosis due to decreased hepatic VLDL secretion

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The role of SMLR1 in lipid metabolism (high fat + cholesterol diet in mice) Abstract Background and Aims The assembly and secretion of VLDL from the liver, a pathway that affects hepatic and plasma lipids, remains incompletely understood. We set out to identify players in the VLDL biogenesis pathway by identifying genes that are co‐expressed with the ...

Host Lipid Rafts Play a Major Role in Binding and Endocytosis of Influenza A Virus

Viruses, 2018
Influenza still remains one of the most challenging diseases, posing a significant threat to public health. Host lipid rafts play a critical role in influenza A virus (IAV) assembly and budding, however, their role in polyvalent IAV host binding and ...

Differential Association of the Na+/H+ Exchanger Regulatory Factor (NHERF) Family of Adaptor Proteins with the Raft- and the Non-Raft Brush Border Membrane Fractions of NHE3

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Background/Aims: Trafficking, brush border membrane (BBM) retention, and signal-specific regulation of the Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3 is regulated by the Na+/H+ Exchanger Regulatory Factor (NHERF) family of PDZ-adaptor proteins, which enable the formation of ...

Cannabinoid receptors distribution in mouse cortical plasma membrane compartments

Molecular Brain, 2021
The type 1 and type 2 cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2 receptors) are class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by endogenous lipids called endocannabinoids to modulate neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission in neurons ...

Cafs-Derived Ffa Promotes Oral Cancer By Lipid Raft Synthesis

International Dental Journal
Aim or purpose: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are critical for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) progression. Given that CAFs display elevated lipid metabolic activity and secrete free fatty acids (FFA) to support tumor cells.

Lipid rafts and membrane traffic [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2007
Membrane rafts are regions of increased lipid acyl chain order that differ in their lipid and protein composition from the surrounding membrane. By providing an additional level of compartmentalization they have been proposed to serve many functions in cellular signal transduction and trafficking. We will review their potential involvement in different

Stabilization of the cortical cytoskeleton by the lipid raft-associated protein cap23 [PDF]

, 2006
In the present work, we identified the lipid raft-associated protein Cap23 to be involved in several important neuronal functions like the organization of lipid raft platforms, the maturation and stabilization of the actin- and intermediate filament ...
