Inhibition of lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1–3 deteriorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by inducing oxidative stress

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2021
Background Lysophosphatidic acid receptors (LPARs) are G-protein-coupled receptors involved in many physiological functions in the central nervous system. However, the role of the LPARs in multiple sclerosis (MS) has not been clearly defined yet. Methods

Polarized effects of adenosine on blood–brain barrier integrity: Tightening from the luminal and opening from the abluminal side

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 16, Page 4761-4777, August 2026.
Background and Purpose Adenosine as a signalling molecule modifies blood–brain barrier (BBB) tightness in pathological conditions. Our aim was to investigate the direct and polarized effects of adenosine on the BBB using co‐culture and in vivo models. Experimental Approach The expression of adenosine receptors was measured by qRT‐PCR.

Pharmacology, Medicinal Chemistry, and Therapeutic Potential of Imidazoline Receptor Ligands

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Building on the excellent review article by Dardonville and Rozas (2004), this paper summarizes the most representative ligands of imidazoline receptors (IR; I1, I2, and I3) and updates their pharmacological profiles. Although not exhaustive, it provides a solid starting point for understanding the significance of I2 IRs as promising therapeutic ...

Heart-type fatty-acid-binding protein (FABP3) is a lysophosphatidic acid-binding protein in human coronary artery endothelial cells

FEBS Open Bio, 2014
Fatty-acid-binding protein 3, muscle and heart (FABP3), also known as heart-type FABP, is a member of the family of intracellular lipid-binding proteins. It is a small cytoplasmic protein with a molecular mass of about 15 kDa.

Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 regulates cell adhesion and membrane protrusive activity of ovarian cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1414-1427, July 2026.
Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP9) drives ovarian cancer progression. Using MMP9‐null cells (M9‐KO) created from ovarian cancer cells, we found MMP9 loss did not block Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)‐driven E‐cadherin dissolution or EMT but delayed and reduced EGF‐driven membrane protrusions. Transient MMP9 re‐expression drove membrane protrusion.

Lysophosphatidic Acid and its Receptors LPA and LPA Mediate Paclitaxel-Induced Neuropathic Pain in Mice

Molecular Pain, 2014
Background: Paclitaxel, which is widely used for the treatment of solid tumors, causes neuropathic pain via poorly understood mechanisms. Previously, we have demonstrated that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and its receptors (LPA 1 and LPA 3 ) are required ...

Tracking COVID‐19 Severity and Progression Through Amines and Lipid Mediators

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) exhibits a broad spectrum of severity, ranging from mild to critical cases. To reduce mortality and costs, tailored early interventions for at‐risk patients are essential. This study elucidates the association between longitudinal metabolomic profiles and COVID‐19 severity and progression.

Multi-Target Protective Effects of Gintonin in 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-Mediated Model of Parkinson’s Disease via Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptors

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Gintonin is a ginseng-derived lysophosphatidic acid receptor (LPAR) ligand. Although previous in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated the therapeutic role of gintonin against Alzheimer’s disease, the neuroprotective effects of gintonin in Parkinson’s ...

Gintonin absorption in intestinal model systems

Journal of Ginseng Research, 2018
Background: Recently, we identified a novel ginseng-derived lysophosphatidic acid receptor ligand, called gintonin. We showed that gintonin induces [Ca2+]i transient-mediated morphological changes, proliferation, and migration in cells expressing ...
