Advances in antigens associated with Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Idiopathic MN (IMN), one of the forms of MN, usually has an unknown etiology. IMN is described as an autoimmune disease, and its pathogenesis is quite complex.

A Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase/Phospholipase Cgamma1 Pathway Regulates Fibroblast Growth Factor-Induced Capillary Tube Formation [PDF]
Background: The fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are key regulators of embryonic development, tissue homeostasis and tumour angiogenesis. Binding of FGFs to their receptor(s) results in activation of several intracellular signalling cascades including ...

Aberrant methylation of the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor gene in leukemic cells [PDF]
The M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R1) plays a crucial role in several signaling pathways and may act as tumor-suppressor. This study examined the expression and methylation of the PLA2R1 gene in Jurkat and U937 leukemic cell lines and its methylation in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute leukemia.Sites of methylation of the ...

During inflammatory states plasma levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) are reduced. Secretory group IIa phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is a cytokine-induced acute-phase enzyme associated with HDL. Transgenic mice

Glucocorticoid receptor stabilization: Relative effects of molybdate ion on inactivation by alkaline phosphatase and phospholipase A2 [PDF]
Glucocorticoid receptors in cytosol preparations from rat liver or mouse L cells are inactivated by phospholipase A2 or calf intestine alkaline phosphatase. Molybdate ion, an inhibitor of a variety of phosphatase enzymes, does not prevent inactivation of

Membranous nephropathy: Clearer pathology and mechanisms identify potential strategies for treatment
Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is one of the common causes of adult-onset nephrotic syndrome and is characterized by autoantibodies against podocyte antigens causing in situ immune complex deposition.

Lysosomal phospholipase A2: a novel player in host immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]
Phospholipases catalyze the cleavage of membrane phospholipids into smaller bioactive molecules. The lysosomal phospholipase A2 (LPLA2 ) is specifically expressed in macrophages.
