Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 and venous thromboembolism: A prospective study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is an inflammatory marker associated positively with atherothrombotic risk.

Notoginsenoside R2 Antagonizes Renal Interstitial Fibrosis by Regulating Fatty Acid Oxidation via the CASP2/ALDH3A1 Axis

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Proposed mechanism by which notoginsenoside R2 (NGR2) attenuates renal interstitial fibrosis. In injured renal tubular epithelial cells, CASP2 downregulation and enhanced ubiquitin‐dependent degradation of ALDH3A1 disrupt mitochondria‐associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) and impair fatty acid oxidation (FAO), leading to lipid accumulation ...

Antimicrobial activity of apitoxin, melittin and phospholipase A2 of honey bee (Apis mellifera) venom against oral pathogens

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015
In this work, we used the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) technique to evaluate the antibacterial potential of the apitoxin produced by Apis mellifera bees against the causative agents of tooth decay.

Glucocorticoid receptor stabilization: Relative effects of molybdate ion on inactivation by alkaline phosphatase and phospholipase A2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
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

PFOA Exposure Elicits Quantitative Lipidomic Changes in the Pancreas in a Mouse Model of Pancreatic Cancer

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US and predicted to rise to second by 2030. Several risk factors have been identified as potential contributors to pancreatic cancer development including lifestyle factors and long‐term exposure to occupational and environmental carcinogens.

Mechanism(s) of activation of secretory phospholipase A2s in mouse keratinocytes

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1999
The differential activation of different members of the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) superfamily and their regulation are important as one or more of them regulates the production of eicosanoids and others may contribute to the formation of other lipid ...

The Localization and Partial Characterization of Rat Testicular Phospholipase A2

open access: yes, 1977
Preparations of mature rat testes were assayed for phospholipase A2 activity. Two separate phospholipase A2 enzymes were observed with two pH optima: one at pH 3.5 and the second at pH 7.5-8.0.

Protective Effects of Bee Venom (Apis mellifera) Against Cadmium‐Induced Hepatorenal Toxicity, Oxidative Stress, and Anxiety‐Like Behavior in Rats

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a persistent environmental heavy metal and a major public health concern because it persists in the body for long periods and gradually accumulates in vital organs, particularly the liver, kidneys, and brain. Chronic Cd exposure promotes the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which ultimately leads to ...

Positional specificity of lysosomal phospholipase A2

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
Lysosomal phospholipase A2 (Lpla2) is highly expressed in alveolar macrophages and may mediate the phospholipid metabolism of surfactant. Studies on the properties of this phospholipase are consistent with the presence of both phospholipase A1 and ...

Identification and Validation of Biomarkers in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps and Study of Their Associated Mechanisms

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cell senescence (CS) and lipid metabolism (LM) disorders have been reported in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the mechanism is still unclear. Methods Data were obtained from public databases; differential expression analysis and machine learning were performed to identify biomarkers and to understand the
