Platelet interaction with bioactive lipids formed by mild oxidation of low-density lipoprotein [PDF]
, 2006 Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) generates pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic mediators that play a crucial role in cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptors of the EDG family are differentially activated by LPA species [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2000 We examined the structure–activity relationship of cloned lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptors (endothelial cell differentiation gene (EDG) 2, EDG4, and EDG7) by measuring [Ca2+]i in Sf9 insect cells expressing each receptor using LPA with various acyl chains bound at either the sn‐1 or the sn‐2 position of the glycerol backbone.

Molecular Pain, 2009 Background We previously reported that intrathecal injection of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) induced neuropathic pain through activation of the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-1 receptor, possibly via conversion to LPA by autotaxin (ATX).

PLoS ONE, 2011 Despite wide margins and high dose irradiation, unresectable malignant glioma (MG) is less responsive to radiation and is uniformly fatal. We previously found that cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA(2)) is a molecular target for radiosensitizing cancer ...

Inhibition of Subsets of G Protein-coupled Receptors by Empty Mutants of G Protein α Subunits in Go, G11, and G16 [PDF]
, 2000 We previously reported that the xanthine nucleotide binding Goα mutant, GoαX, inhibited the activation of Gi-coupled receptors. We constructed similar mutations in G11α and G16α and characterized their nucleotide binding and receptor interaction.

Respiratory Research, 2009 Background Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) plays a critical role in airway inflammation through G protein-coupled LPA receptors (LPA1-3). We have demonstrated that LPA induced cytokine and lipid mediator release in human bronchial epithelial cells.

Regulation of T cell motility in vitro and in vivo by LPA and LPA2. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and the LPA-generating enzyme autotaxin (ATX) have been implicated in lymphocyte trafficking and the regulation of lymphocyte entry into lymph nodes.

G protein-coupled receptor 35: an emerging target in inflammatory and cardiovascular disease [PDF]
, 2015 G protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) is an orphan receptor, discovered in 1998, that has garnered interest as a potential therapeutic target through its association with a range of diseases.

Melanoma cells break down LPA to establish local gradients that drive chemotactic dispersal. [PDF]
, 2014 The high mortality of melanoma is caused by rapid spread of cancer cells, which occurs unusually early in tumour evolution. Unlike most solid tumours, thickness rather than cytological markers or differentiation is the best guide to metastatic potential.

Endogenous Wnt signalling in human embryonic stem cells generates an equilibrium of distinct lineage-specified progenitors. [PDF]
, 2012 The pluripotent nature of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) makes them convenient for deriving therapeutically relevant cells. Here we show using Wnt reporter hESC lines that the cells are heterogeneous with respect to endogenous Wnt signalling activity.
