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).

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

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.

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

Structural identification of oxidized acyl-phosphatidylcholines that induce platelet activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) generates proinflammatory and prothrombotic mediators that may play a crucial role in cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

Rho/ROCK acts downstream of lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 in modulating P2X receptor-mediated bone cancer pain in rats

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2016
Background Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 and Rho/ROCK signaling is implicated in bone cancer pain development. However, it remains unknown whether the two signaling pathways function together in P2X 3 receptor-mediated bone cancer pain.

Exosomes promote pre-metastatic niche formation in ovarian cancer. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies. Upon initial diagnosis, the majority of patients present with widespread metastatic growth within the peritoneal cavity. This metastatic growth occurs in stages, with the formation of a

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).

Lysophosphatidic acid in atherosclerotic diseases [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2012
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a potent bioactive phospholipid. As many other biological active lipids, LPA is an autacoid: it is formed locally on demand, and it acts locally near its site of synthesis. LPA has a plethora of biological activities on blood cells (platelets, monocytes) and cells of the vessel wall (endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells,
