Neurobiology of Pain, 2019 We developed a mouse model for central post-stroke pain (CPSP), a centrally-originated neuropathic pain (NeuP). In this mode, mice were first injected with Rose Bengal, followed by photo-irradiation of left middle cerebral artery (MCA) to generate ...

Neurobiology of the Edg2 Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor
Japanese Journal of Pharmacology, 2001 Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA, 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate) is a well-known lipid growth factor that is found widely in various tissues including brain and is reported to drive different intracellular signaling pathways. In the nervous system, LPA studies have drawn many neuroscientists' attention because it has some actions related to neurogenesis ...

Elevated plasma levels of lysophosphatidic acid and aberrant expression of lysophosphatidic acid receptors in adenomyosis [PDF]
BMC Women's Health, 2017 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 adenomyosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the levels of LPA in plasma and the expression of six LPA ...

A single amino acid determines preference between phospholipids and reveals length restriction for activation ofthe S1P4 receptor [PDF]
, 2004 Background<br/><br/> Sphingosine-1-phosphate and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are ligands for two related families of G protein-coupled receptors, the S1P and LPA receptors, respectively.

Lysophosphatidic Acid Inhibits Adipocyte Differentiation via Lysophosphatidic Acid 1 Receptor-dependent Down-regulation of Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor γ2 [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005 Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive phospholipid acting via specific G protein-coupled receptors that is synthesized at the extracellular face of adipocytes by a secreted lysophospholipase D (autotaxin). Preadipocytes mainly express the LPA(1) receptor subtype, and LPA increases their proliferation.

Molecular Pain, 2009 Background We previously reported that intrathecal injection of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) induced neuropathic pain through activation of the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-1 receptor, possibly via conversion to LPA by autotaxin (ATX).

Role of G{alpha}12 and G{alpha}13 as Novel Switches for the Activity of Nrf2, a Key Antioxidative Transcription Factor [PDF]
, 2007 G{alpha}12 and G{alpha}13 function as molecular regulators responding to extracellular stimuli. NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is involved in a protective adaptive response to oxidative stress.

LPP3 mediates self-generation of chemotactic LPA gradients by melanoma cells [PDF]
, 2017 Melanoma cells steer out of tumours using self-generated lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) gradients. The cells break down LPA, which is present at high levels around the tumours, creating a dynamic gradient that is low in the tumour and high outside.

The Roles of Lpar1 in Central Nervous System Disorders and Diseases
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (Lpar1), which is found in almost all human tissues but is most abundant in the brain, can couple to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and participate in regulating cell proliferation, migration, survival, and apoptosis.
