Re-Assessing the Role of Platelet Activating Factor and Its Inflammatory Signaling and Inhibitors in Cancer and Anti-Cancer Strategies

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Since 2000s, we have outlined the multifaceted role of inflammation in several aspects of cancer, via specific inflammatory mediators, including the platelet activating factor (PAF) and PAF-receptor (PAFR) related signaling, which affect important ...

New-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation after mitral valve surgery: Determinants and the effect on survivalCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2023
Objective: Mitral valve surgery (MVS) carries substantial risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation (PAF). Identifying patients who benefit from prophylactic left atrial appendage amputation (LAAA) or maze is ill-defined.

Causal inference with multi-state models - estimands and estimators of the population-attributable fraction

, 2019
The population-attributable fraction (PAF) is a popular epidemiological measure for the burden of a harmful exposure within a population. It is often interpreted causally as proportion of preventable cases after an elimination of exposure.

The PAF Complex and Prf1/Rtf1 Delineate Distinct Cdk9-Dependent Pathways Regulating Transcription Elongation in Fission Yeast

PLoS Genetics, 2013
Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9) promotes elongation by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), mRNA processing, and co-transcriptional histone modification. Cdk9 phosphorylates multiple targets, including the conserved RNAPII elongation factor Spt5 and RNAPII ...

Rupatadine Protects against Pulmonary Fibrosis by Attenuating PAF-Mediated Senescence in Rodents

PLoS ONE, 2013
A similar immune response is implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis and allergic disorders. We investigated the potential therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of rupatadine, a dual antagonist of histamine and platelet-activation factor (PAF),

Lysophosphatidylcholine and lyso-PAF display PAF-like activity derived from contaminating phospholipids

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
Lysophosphatidylcholine is an abundant component of plasma and oxidized LDL that displays several biological activities, some of which may occur through the platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor.
