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.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and angiogenesis [PDF]
Angiogenesis, 2008 Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a simple lipid with many important biological functions such as the regulation of cellular proliferation, cellular migration, differentiation, and suppression of apoptosis. Although a direct angiogenic effect of LPA has not been reported to date, there are indications that LPA promotes angiogenesis.

2-arachidonoylglycerol metabolism is differently modulated by oligomeric and fibrillar conformations of amyloid beta in synaptic terminals [PDF]
, 2017 Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is the most prevalent disorder of senile dementia mainly characterized by amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) deposits in the brain. Cannabinoids are relevant to AD as they exert several beneficial effects in many models of this disease ...

Molecules, 2017 Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferases (LPAATs) are essential for the acylation of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and the synthesis of phosphatidic acid (PA), a key intermediate in the synthesis of membrane phospholipids and storage lipids. Here, a putative

Lysophosphatidic Acid-operated K+ Channels [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005 Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an abundant cellular lipid with a myriad of biological effects. It plays an important role in both inter- and intracellular signaling. Activation of the LPA1-3 G-protein-coupled receptors explains many of the extracellular effects of LPA, including cell growth, differentiation, survival, and motility.

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.

Lysophosphatidic acid synthesis and release [PDF]
Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2001 Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive phospholipid controlling numerous cellular responses through the activation of specific G-protein coupled transmembrane receptors. LPA is present in several biological fluids (serum, plasma, aqueous humor) and can be secreted by several cell types (platelets, fibroblasts, adipocytes, cancer cells).

Steroid binding to Autotaxin links bile salts and lysophosphatidic acid signalling
Nature Communications, 2016 Autotaxin generates the bioactive lipid lysophosphatidic acid to regulate diverse biological processes. Here, the authors identify a role for bile salts as direct allosteric inhibitors of autotaxin activity, suggesting that steroids may function as ...
