Okadaic Acid: A Tool to Study the Hippo Pathway [PDF]
Mammalian Ste20-like kinases 1 and 2 (MST1 and MST2) are activated in NIH3T3 cells exposed to okadaic acid. The Hippo pathway is a newly emerging signaling that functions as a tumor suppressor.

Identification of Dynamic Changes in Proteins Associated with the Cellular Cytoskeleton after Exposure to Okadaic Acid [PDF]
Exposure of cells to the diarrhetic shellfish poison, okadaic acid, leads to a dramatic reorganization of cytoskeletal architecture and loss of cell-cell contact.

Combined Cytotoxicity of the Phycotoxin Okadaic Acid and Mycotoxins on Intestinal and Neuroblastoma Human Cell Models [PDF]
Mycotoxins are emerging toxins in the marine environment, which can co-occur with algal toxins to exert synergistic or antagonistic effects for human seafood consumption.

Diverse Bacterial PKS Sequences Derived From Okadaic Acid-Producing Dinoflagellates [PDF]
Okadaic acid (OA) and the related dinophysistoxins are isolated from dinoflagellates of the genus Prorocentrum and Dinophysis. Bacteria of the Roseobacter group have been associated with okadaic acid producing dinoflagellates and have been previously ...

The insect, Galleria mellonella, is a compatible model for evaluating the toxicology of okadaic acid. [PDF]
The polyether toxin, okadaic acid, causes diarrhetic shellfish poisoning in humans. Despite extensive research into its cellular targets using rodent models, we know little about its putative effect(s) on innate immunity.

Serine/Threonine Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulates the Transport of Axonal Mitochondria
Microtubule-based transport provides mitochondria to distant regions of neurons and is essential for neuronal health. To identify compounds that increase mitochondrial motility, we screened 1,641 small-molecules in a high-throughput screening platform ...

Mechanism of the stimulatory action of okadaic acid on lipolysis in rat fat cells
Okadaic acid was found to induce concentration- and time-dependent lipolysis in rat fat cells in the absence of lipolytic hormones, but it did not significantly increase the total hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) activity in these fat cells, the activity ...

Okadaic Acid Is a Potent Angiogenesis Inducer [PDF]
Okadaic acid, which is a non‐12‐0‐tetradecanoylphorbol‐13‐acetate (TPA)‐type tumor promoter and an inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A, induced angiogenesis in the chorioallantoic membrane of the chick embryo. Its potent angiogenic activity was dose‐dependent. The minimum effective dose was 5 fmol/egg and the effective dose for 50% induction was
