Cigarette smoke induces cell motility via platelet-activating factor accumulation in breast cancer cells: a potential mechanism for metastatic disease.

Physiological reports

Kispert S, Marentette J, McHowat J.
PMID: 25802360
Physiol Rep. 2015 Mar;3(3). doi: 10.14814/phy2.12318. Epub 2015 Mar 22.

Most cancer deaths are a result of metastasis rather than the primary tumor. Although cigarette smoking has been determined as a risk factor for several cancers, its role in metastasis has not been studied in detail. We propose that...

A Possible Role for Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment.

Frontiers in neurology

Briones MRS, Snyder AM, Ferreira RC, Neely EB, Connor JR, Broach JR.

Biomed Rep. 2016 Feb;4(2):246-250. doi: 10.3892/br.2015.560. Epub 2015 Dec 21.

Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) has an important function in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between the variation of polymorphisms (R92H and V279F) in PAF-AH and ischemic stroke. A...

Platelet-activating factor synthesis and receptor-mediated signaling are downregulated in ovine newborn lungs: relevance in postnatal pulmonary adaptation and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn.

Journal of developmental origins of health and disease

Renteria LS, Cruz E, Ibe BO.

J Dev Orig Health Dis. 2013 Dec;4(6):458-69. doi: 10.1017/S2040174413000366.

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid with a wide range of biological activities. We studied PAF metabolism and PAF receptor (PAFR) signaling in perinatal ovine lungs to understand PAF's role in transition of the perinatal pulmonary hemodynamics and pathophysiology...

Low High-Density Lipoprotein and Risk of Myocardial Infarction.

Low HDL is an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction. This paper reviews our current understanding of HDL, HDL structure and function, HDL subclasses, the relationship of low HDL with myocardial infarction, HDL targeted therapy, and clinical trials and...

Tools for Investigating Functional Interactions Between Lipid-Derived Autacoids and their Receptors.

American journal of therapeutics

Lerner MR, Golovyan L, Graminski GF, Harris K, Huang L, Jayawickreme CK, Karne S, McClintock TS, Potenza MN, Roby-Shemkovitz A, Quillan M.

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid mediator implicated in a diverse range of pathological processes. Beneficial effects of PAF antagonists have been shown in various models of central nervous system ischemia. In this study, we evaluated the production of...

Secreted phosphatase activities in trypanosomatid parasites of plants modulated by platelet-activating factor.

Phytopathology

Dutra PM, Dias FA, Santos MA, Rodrigues CO, Romeiro A, Attias M, De Souza W, Lopes AH, Meyer-Fernandes JR.

ABSTRACT The secreted phosphatase activities of two trypanosomatid parasites were characterized and compared with supernatants of living cells. The plant parasite Phytomonas françai and the phytophagous hemipteran parasite Herpetomonas sp. hydrolyzed p-nitrophenylphosphate at a rate of 15.54 and 6.51...
