Bypassing pan-enterovirus host factor PLA2G16

Nature Communications, 2019
The adipose-specific phospholipase A2 (PLA2G16) has been identified as a pan-enterovirus host factor. Here, the authors show that the enterovirus EV-D68-947 can bypass PLA2G16 by using sulfated glycosaminoglycans as alternative glycan receptors and that ...

A phospholipase A2‐linked receptor for PEDF

The FASEB Journal, 2006
Pigment epithelium‐derived factor (PEDF), a 50‐kDa extracellular serpin, is a neurotrophic and antiangiogenic factor for the retina. Its biological functions are independent from its serine protease inhibition potential. Previously we provided evidence for high affinity PEDF‐binding sites and proteins in retina cell‐surfaces ...

Characterization of ST14A Cells for Studying Modulation of Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In medium spiny neurons (MSNs) of the striatum, dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs) specifically inhibit the Ca(v)1.3 subtype of L-type Ca(2+) channels (LTCs).

Phospholipase A₂ affects the activity of fusicoccin receptors [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1993
Biochemical properties of fusicoccin receptors are strongly influenced by the phospholipid environment. In this report we have studied the effect of different exogenous phospholipases on fusicoccin binding ability of both plasma membrane and solubilised receptors.

Deposition and hydrolysis of serine dipeptide lipids of Bacteroidetes bacteria in human arteries: relationship to atherosclerosis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2017
Multiple reaction monitoring-MS analysis of lipid extracts from human carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery samples from young individuals consistently demonstrated the presence of bacterial serine dipeptide lipid classes, including Lipid 654, an ...

Bee Venom—A Potential Complementary Medicine Candidate for SARS-CoV-2 Infections

Frontiers in Public Health, 2020
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is characterized by severe cytokine storm syndrome following inflammation. SARS-CoV-2 directly interacts with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptors in the human body.

The optimal anti-phospholipase A2 receptor cutoff for the diagnosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy: a single-center retrospective study [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2022
Background/Aims Anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) autoantibody is the main biomarker of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). We aimed to find a new cutoff value of anti-PLA2R for patients with IMN and to explore the relevance between this ...

Recent progress in the pathogenesis of membranous nephropathy

Linchuang shenzangbing zazhi, 2022
Membranous nephropathy （MN） is a kind of autoimmune disease caused by forming immune complex of antigen and antibody in glomerulus.A definite diagnosis is dependent upon renal biopsy and serological PLA2R1 test.And serological test is vital for further ...

Possible involvement of A1 receptors in the inhibition of gonadotropin secretion induced by adenosine in rat hemipituitaries in vitro

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999
We investigated the participation of A1 or A2 receptors in the gonadotrope and their role in the regulation of LH and FSH secretion in adult rat hemipituitary preparations, using adenosine analogues.
