Abstract Efforts to use transcriptomics for toxicity testing have classically relied on the assumption that chemicals consistently produce characteristic transcriptomic signatures that are reflective of their mechanism of action. However, the degree to which transcriptomic responses are conserved across different test methodologies has seldom been ...

Untethered Electrical Stimulation Using Optoelectricity and Piezoelectricity for Tissue Regeneration
Untethered electrical stimulation from optoelectronic and piezoelectric materials can aid regeneration of damaged tissue. ABSTRACT Electrical signals are increasingly recognized as important regulators of tissue development and regeneration, with outcomes linked to behaviors including proliferation, differentiation, cell migration, and more.

Autotaxin (ATX) is a lysophosphatidic acid-producing enzyme. In this study, we describe the cellular expression and subcellular localization of ATX in the mouse brain, thereby providing a fundamental framework for understanding lysophosphatidic acid ...

CtBP1-S/BARS is required for fission of endomembrane compartments including the Golgi. Here the authors show that CtBP1-S/BARS activates a trans-Golgi lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase that catalyses the production of phosphatidic acid and is ...

Dynamic assembly and disassembly of primary cilia is critical for tissue development and homeostasis. Here the authors identify lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) as a physiological extracellular factor that initiates cilia disassembly through both YAP/TAZ ...

Lysophosphatidic acid stimulates rat uterine contraction in vitro
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) has been implicated in the uterine endometrial functions of implantation and decidualization; however, not much is known about its myometrial contractile function.

Chronic kidney disease‐associated pruritus (CKDaP) is a frequent complication of advanced CKD with an incompletely understood pathophysiology. We identified a significantly altered glycine‐to‐taurine conjugated bile acid ratio in patients with CKDaP despite unchanged total serum bile acid concentrations.

Ablation of lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 attenuates hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in a mouse model. [PDF]
Myocardial fibrosis is a key pathologic feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, the fibrotic pathways activated by HCM-causing sarcomere protein gene mutations are poorly defined.

Linking medicinal cannabis to autotaxin–lysophosphatidic acid signaling
The authors show that Δ9-trans-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive compound in medicinal cannabis, could be considered as a therapeutic agent by inhibiting autotaxin–lysophosphatidic acid production. Autotaxin is primarily known for the formation

In planta analysis of the mode of action of cinmethylin and confirmation of fatty acyl‐ACP thioesterases (FATs) as primary site of action. Cinmethylin inhibits FATs, disrupting eukaryotic de novo lipid biosynthesis and causing defects in cell division, elongation and integrity. We confirm FATs as the primary site of action in planta.
