Newest firstSimple SummaryThis article reviews the roles of lipid mediators as potential therapeutic targets in prostate cancer. Lipid mediators are derived from more complex cellular phospholipids and some come from the diet. The major mediators discussed are sphingosine 1-phosphate, lysophosphatidic acid, prostaglandin E2, thromboxane A2, lipoxin A4, endocannabinoids, and omega-3 fatty acids. All activate distinct druggable…
Open article record in new tab ↗A mass spectrometry-based lipidomic investigation of 30 patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy blood donor controls was undertaken. The clustering and complete separation of these two groups was found by both unsupervised and supervised multivariate data analyses. Three patients who had spontaneously cleared the virus and three who were successfully treated with…
The sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and endocannabinoid (ECS) systems comprehend bioactive lipids widely involved in the regulation of similar biological processes. Interactions between S1P and ECS have not been so far investigated in skeletal muscle, where both systems are active. Here, we used murine C2C12 myoblasts to investigate the effects of S1P on ECS elements by qRT-PCR, Western blotting and UHPLC-MS. In add…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia in aging populations. Recently, the regulation of neurolipid-mediated signaling and cerebral lipid species was shown in AD patients. The triple transgenic mouse model (3xTg-AD), harboring βAPPSwe, PS1M146V, and tauP301L transgenes, mimics many critical aspects of AD neuropathology and progressively develops n…
