Elevated plasma levels of lysophosphatidic acid and aberrant expression of lysophosphatidic acid receptors in adenomyosis

open access: yesBMC Women's Health, 2017
Background Given the important roles of the receptor-mediated lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling in both reproductive tract function and gynecological cancers, it will be informative to investigate the potential role of LPA in the development of ...

Lysophosphatidic acid and renal fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2008
The development of fibrosis involves a multitude of events and molecules. Until now the majority of these molecules were found to be proteins or peptides. But recent data show significant involvement of the phospholipid lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in the development of pulmonary, liver and renal fibrosis.

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 Analogue rather than Lysophosphatidic Acid Promoted the Bone Formation In Vivo [PDF]

open access: yesBioMed Research International, 2018
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive lipid molecule, has recently emerged as physiological and pathophysiological regulator in skeletal biology. Here we evaluate the effects of LPA on bone formation in vivo in murine femoral critical defect model.

A simple and highly sensitive radioenzymatic assay for lysophosphatidic acid quantification

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2000
The objective of the present work was to develop a simple and sensitive radioenzymatic assay to quantify lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). For that, a recombinant rat LPA acid acyltransferase (LPAAT) produced in Escherichia coli was used.

G protein-coupled receptor 35: an emerging target in inflammatory and cardiovascular disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Lysophosphatidic Acid Signaling through the Lysophosphatidic Acid-1 Receptor Is Required for Alveolarization [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 2016
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling through one of its receptors, LPA1, contributes to both the development and the pathological remodeling after injury of many organs. Because we found previously that LPA-LPA1 signaling contributes to pulmonary fibrosis, here we investigated whether this pathway is also involved in lung development.

AGPAT2 interaction with CDP-diacylglycerol synthases promotes the flux of fatty acids through the CDP-diacylglycerol pathway

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
AGPATs (1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferases) catalyze the acylation of lysophosphatidic acid to form phosphatidic acid (PA), a key step in the synthesis of all glycerolipids.
