Lipoproteins are substrates for human secretory group IIA phospholipase A2: preferential hydrolysis of acute phase HDL

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Group IIA secretory phospholipase A2 is an acute phase enzyme, co-expressed with serum amyloid A protein. Both are present in atherosclerotic lesions. We report that human normal and acute phase high density lipoproteins and low density lipoprotein are ...

The grease trap: uncovering the mechanism of the hydrophobic lid in Cutibacterium acnes lipase[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2020
Acne is one of the most common dermatological conditions, but the details of its pathology are unclear, and current management regimens often have adverse effects. Cutibacterium acnes is known as a major acne-associated bacterium that derives energy from

A New Paradigm: 46 Structural Cell Types Function as Environment‐Supporting Innate Immune Cells, With Endothelial and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells as Key Prototypes

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The scope, organization, and biological significance of innate immune functions across structural cell types remain poorly defined. To address these fundamental knowledge gaps, we analyzed experimental data of transcriptomes generated by our group and others.

From Classical to Alternative Pathways of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol Synthesis: AlterAGs at the Crossroad of Endocannabinoid and Lysophospholipid Signaling

Molecules
2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is the most abundant endocannabinoid (EC), acting as a full agonist at both CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. It is synthesized on demand in postsynaptic membranes through the sequential action of phosphoinositide-specific ...

Specific uptake of DHA by the brain from a structured phospholipid, AceDoPC®

Oilseeds and fats, crops and lipids, 2017
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6 ω-3) is highly enriched in the brain and is required for proper brain development and function. Its deficiency has been shown to be linked with the emergence of neurological diseases.

Regulation of autotaxin expression and secretion by lysophosphatidate and sphingosine 1-phosphate

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted enzyme, which produces extracellular lysophosphatidate (LPA) from lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). LPA activates six G protein-coupled receptors and this is essential for vasculogenesis during embryonic development.

Assessing Metabolic and Reproductive Consequences of Prenatal Paracetamol Exposure in Female CD1 Mice

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paracetamol is a widely used analgesic during pregnancy; however, emerging evidence suggests it may act as an endocrine/metabolism disrupting compound. Using an F1 female CD1 mouse model, this study scrutinized the long‐term metabolic and reproductive consequences linked to intrauterine paracetamol exposure.

Hypochlorous acid-mediated generation of glycerophosphocholine from unsaturated plasmalogen glycerophosphocholine lipids

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
The myeloperoxidase-derived metabolite hypochlorous acid (HOCl) promotes the selective cleavage of plasmalogens into chloro fatty aldehydes and 1-lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC).

Kinetics of the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine

Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1969
AbstractAn experimental technique capable of estimating as little as 10 nano-equivalents of long-chain carboxylic acids (fatty acids) has been used to study the decomposition of phospholipids. The rate of release of acids varied with the monovalent cation which was associated with the hydroxyl ion in the hydroxide used.
