Berberine Suppresses Colonic Inflammation in Dextran Sulfate Sodium–Induced Murine Colitis Through Inhibition of Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 Activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Ulcerative colitis (UC) causes chronic inflammation and damage to the colonic mucosal layer. Recent studies have reported significant changes in phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) in UC patients and oral administration of PC has ...

Lysophosphatidylcholine Drives Neuroblast Cell Fate

open access: yesMolecular Neurobiology, 2015
Neuronal differentiation plays a key role during embryogenesis. However, based on the capacity of neuronal stem cells to either generate or regenerate neurons and because differentiation stops aberrant neuroblasts proliferation, neuronal differentiation is crucial during neuropathological conditions.

Effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein, lipid mediators and statins on vascular cell interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The integrin heterodimer CD11b/CD18 (alpha M beta 2, Mac-1, CR3) expressed on monocytes or polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) is a receptor for iC3b, fibrinogen, heparin, and for intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 on endothelium, crucially ...

Immunomodulatory Actions of Lysophosphatidylcholine [PDF]

open access: yesBiomolecules and Therapeutics, 2008
Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is an endogenous phospholipid. LPC has various stimulating or modulating activities on immune cells, including lymphocytes, monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils. Stud- ies generally revealed pro-inflammatory activities of LPC, but accumulating evidence indicates that LPC has also anti-inflammatory actions.

Cross-Platform Comparison of Untargeted and Targeted Lipidomics Approaches on Aging Mouse Plasma. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Lipidomics - the global assessment of lipids - can be performed using a variety of mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches. However, choosing the optimal approach in terms of lipid coverage, robustness and throughput can be a challenging task.

Lysophosphatidylcholine activates caspase-1 in microglia via a novel pathway involving two inflammasomes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Inflammasomes regulate microglial caspase-1 activation and subsequent neuroinflammatory processes in brain pathology. In the present study, we have identified inflammasomes causing caspase-1 activation following stimulation of microglia with ...

Nasal Drug Delivery Systems: An Overview [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Since ancient times, drugs have been administered via the nasal route for therapeutic and recreational purposes. The interest in, and importance, of the systemic effects of drugs administered through the nasal route, have expanded over recent decades ...

Doubled lifespan and patient‐like pathologies in progeria mice fed high‐fat diet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a devastating premature aging disease. Mouse models have been instrumental for understanding HGPS mechanisms and for testing therapies, which to date have had only marginal benefits in mice and patients ...

Astrocytes are mainly responsible for the polyunsaturated fatty acid enrichment in blood–brain barrier endothelial cells in vitro

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1998
To determine the respective roles of endothelial cells from brain capillaries and astrocytes in the conversion of circulating 18:2n–6 and 18:3n–3 into 20:4n–6 and 22:6n–3, respectively, a coculture of the two cell types mimicking the in vivo blood–brain ...
