Dietary Ethanolamine Plasmalogen from Ascidian Alleviates Chronic Hepatic Injury in Mice Treated with Continuous Acetaminophen

Applied Sciences
Background: Ethanolamine plasmalogen (PlsEtn) is a subclass of ethanolamine glycerophospholipids (EtnGpls) and is abundantly found in some marine invertebrates, including ascidian Halocynthia roretzi.

Specific Detection of PE-Included Vesicles Using Cyclic Voltammetry

Applied Sciences, 2021
The binding between cinnamycin and the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-included vesicles was monitored using cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements and interpreted in terms of the composition of the vesicles and the monolayer binding site.

Synthetic Phosphatidylethanolamines as Renin Inhibitors

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1977
SummaryAnti-renin and hypotensive effects of synthetic PEs were examined.(i) Eighteen PEs including optical isomers were newly synthesized. Arachidonic acid, linolenic acid, and stearic acid were substituted at the positions of β, γ, or both. Natural PE was extracted from porcine kidney, and the lyso form was prepared by treatment of phospholipase A ...

Systemic dysregulation of apolipoproteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that damages motor neurons. This study found that people with ALS show significant changes in blood fats and the proteins that carry them. Several apolipoproteins were higher, lipid balances were altered, and normal protein–lipid relationships were disrupted.

SRC promotes lipogenesis: implications for obesity and breast cancer

Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2021
Remodeling of lipid metabolism has been implicated in cancers; however, it remains obscure how the lipid metabolic pathways are altered by oncogenic signaling to affect tumor development. We have recently shown that proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase

Autophagy and rheumatoid arthritis: Current knowledges and future perspectives [PDF]

, 2018
Autophagy is a degradation mechanism by which cells recycle cytoplasmic components to generate energy. By influencing lymphocyte development, survival, and proliferation, autophagy regulates the immune responses against self and non-self antigens ...

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Decreasing Phosphatidylcholine on the Surface of the Lipid Droplet Correlates with Altered Protein Binding and Steatosis

Cells, 2018
Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of lipid droplets (LDs) in the liver. Here, we explore the composition of hepatic LDs in a rat model of AFLD.

Characterization of the extracellular lipase of Bacillus subtilis and its relationship to a membrane-bound lipase found in a mutant strain [PDF]

, 1979
Bacillus subtilis CMK33 is a mutant that is more osmotically fragile than the wild type when it is converted to the protoplast form. The protoplasts of this mutant contain a membrane-bound lipase, which is not found in protoplasts of the wild type ...

LL‐37 Driven Phase Transition and Stacking in Oligolamellar Gram‐Negative Bacterial Membrane Models

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work establishes oligolamellar bacterial membrane models to investigate how LL‐37 disrupts the complex dual‐bilayer architecture of Gram‐negative bacteria. Combining SAXS, cryo‐TEM, electrophoretic mobility measurements, and coarse‐grained simulations, it reveals cardiolipin‐driven phase transitions leading to bicelle‐like structures and membrane ...
