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

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 ...

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 ...

Receptor and secreted targets of Wnt-1/beta-catenin signalling in mouse mammary epithelial cells. [PDF]
BackgroundDeregulation of the Wnt/ beta-catenin signal transduction pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of tumours in the mammary gland, colon and other tissues. Mutations in components of this pathway result in beta-catenin stabilization and

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 ...

Inhibition of Subsets of G Protein-coupled Receptors by Empty Mutants of G Protein α Subunits in Go, G11, and G16 [PDF]
We previously reported that the xanthine nucleotide binding Goα mutant, GoαX, inhibited the activation of Gi-coupled receptors. We constructed similar mutations in G11α and G16α and characterized their nucleotide binding and receptor interaction.

Clinical phases and classification of breast tumor dormancy. Tumor dormancy is described as the period after treatment until residual tumor cells become detectable as relapsing disease in clinic. During the period of clinical tumor dormancy, tumor mass dormancy and cellular dormancy may coexist.

Advances in lysophosphatidic acid for bone remodeling [PDF]
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a simple bioactive lysophospholipid widely dispersed in human body, has been reported to regulate the proliferation, chemotaxis and differentiation of multiple cells and further participate in various developmental and ...

Triacylglycerol synthesis in rat adipose tissue : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]
Adipose tissue consists of two types of cell; the adipocyte and the non-adipocyte {Rodbell, 1964). The adipocyte is unique amongst mammalian cell types in that one class of component {TG) comprises up to 80% of its weight.

Advances in GPCRs Associated With Wnt Signaling Within the Auditory System
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with the Wnt signaling pathway are pivotal for auditory system homeostasis, as they orchestrate inner ear development, hair cell (HC) regeneration, and hearing preservation. Frizzled (FZD) receptors, the core Wnt‐related GPCRs, bind Wnt ligands and co‐receptors (e.g., LRP5/6) to activate both ...
