Nuclear localization of platelet activating factor receptor accounts for microglial phagocytosis in ischemic stroke

open access: goldNeurobiology of Disease
Ischemic stroke (IS) is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. A critical strategy for improving the prognosis of IS involves mitigating neuronal loss to enhance neuroplasticity, with microglia playing a vital role in neuronal survival.

The Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor’s Association with the Outcome of Ovarian Cancer Patients and Its Experimental Inhibition by Rupatadine

open access: yesCells, 2021
The platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) and its ligand (PAF) are important inflammatory mediators that are overexpressed in ovarian cancer. The receptor is an important player in ovarian cancer development.

Interplay Between EGFR and the Platelet-Activating Factor/PAF Receptor Signaling Axis Mediates Aggressive Behavior of Cervical Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2020
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor tyrosine kinase widely expressed in cervical tumors, being correlated with adverse clinical outcomes. EGFR may be activated by a diversity of mechanisms, including transactivation by G-protein coupled

Platelet-activating factor: receptors and signal transduction [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1993
During the past two decades, studies describing the chemistry and biology of PAF have been extensive. This potent phosphoacylglycerol exhibits a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological effects in various cells and tissues. PAF acts, through specific receptors and a variety of signal transduction systems, to elicit diverse biochemical ...

Platelet-Activating Factor-Induced Reduction in Contact Hypersensitivity Responses Is Mediated by Mast Cells via Cyclooxygenase-2-Dependent Mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) stimulates numerous cell types via activation of the G protein-coupled PAF receptor (PAFR). PAFR activation not only induces acute proinflammatory responses, but it also induces delayed systemic immunosuppressive effects ...

Design, Synthesis and Anti-Platelet Aggregation Activity Study of Ginkgolide-1,2,3-triazole Derivatives

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Ginkgolides are the major active component of Ginkgo biloba for inhibition of platelet activating factor receptor. An azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition reaction was used to introduce a triazole nucleus into the target ginkgolide molecules.
