Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and angiogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesAngiogenesis, 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.

Bioactive lipids as biomarkers of adverse reactions associated with apheresis platelet concentrate transfusion

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Platelet concentrate (PC) transfusion seeks to provide haemostasis in patients presenting severe central thrombocytopenia or severe bleeding. PCs may induce adverse reactions (AR) that can occasionally be severe (SAR).

2-arachidonoylglycerol metabolism is differently modulated by oligomeric and fibrillar conformations of amyloid beta in synaptic terminals [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

PrLPAAT4, a Putative Lysophosphatidic Acid Acyltransferase from Paeonia rockii, Plays an Important Role in Seed Fatty Acid Biosynthesis

open access: yesMolecules, 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

Platelet interaction with bioactive lipids formed by mild oxidation of low-density lipoprotein [PDF]

open access: yes, 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-operated K+ Channels [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

A novel highly potent autotaxin/ENPP2 inhibitor produces prolonged decreases in plasma lysophosphatidic acid formation in vivo and regulates urethral tension.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Autotaxin, also known as ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (ENPP2), is a secreted enzyme that has lysophospholipase D activity, which converts lysophosphatidylcholine to bioactive lysophosphatidic acid. Lysophosphatidic acid activates at

Seed storage oil mobilization is important but not essential for germination or seedling establishment in Arabidopsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is a major storage reserve in many plant seeds. We previously identified a TAG lipase mutant called sugar-dependent1 (sdp1) that is impaired in TAG hydrolysis following Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seed germination (Eastmond,

Lysophosphatidic acid synthesis and release [PDF]

open access: yesProstaglandins & 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).

Melanoma cells break down LPA to establish local gradients that drive chemotactic dispersal. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.
