Astrocyte-derived phosphatidic acid promotes dendritic branching
Astrocytes play critical roles in neural circuit formation and function. Recent studies have revealed several secreted and contact-mediated signals from astrocytes which are essential for neurite outgrowth and synapse formation. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of dendritic branching by astrocytes remain elusive. Phospholipase D1 (PLD1), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosph...
متن کاملEffect of oral administration of soy-derived phosphatidic acid on concentrations of phosphatidic acid and lyso-phosphatidic acid molecular species in human plasma
Background The glycerophospholipid Phosphatidic acid (PA) has been identified as a potential nutritional treatment for gastrointestinal disorders. Dietary food sources rich in PA include cabbage and radish leaves as well as Mallotus japonicas, a Japanese edible herb historically used for the treatment of stomach ulcers. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) has been shown to regulate rates o...
متن کاملToxoplasma gondii and schizophrenia: linkage through astrocyte-derived kynurenic acid?
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous foodand water-borne parasite that in most individuals is able to persist in multiple tissues, including the central nervous system (CNS), without causing an apparent clinical disease. During the chronic phase of toxoplasmosis, the latent stage of the parasite is found in the CNS, and studies from murine models have established that long-term resistance to the p...
متن کاملPhosphatidic Acid, Lysophosphatidic Acid and Related Lipids
Phosphatidic acid or 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate is not an abundant lipid constituent of any living organism to my knowledge, but it is extremely important as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerols and phospholipids and as a signalling molecule. Indeed, it is often over-estimated in tissues as it can arise by inadvertent enzymatic hydrolysis during inappropriate storage o...
متن کاملPhosphatidic Acid Synthesis in Yeast.
1. The presence of palmitoyl-CoA-l-glycerol 1-phosphate palmitoyltransferase (EC2.3.1.15) has been demonstrated in a particulate fraction of baker's yeast. 2. The enzyme has been characterized, and its activity studied as a function of pH and concentration of substrates. 3. Inhibition by thiol poisons and protection by acyl-CoA have been used to obtain information on the active site. 4. By vari...
