Phospholipase D (PLD) is activated in mammalian cells in response to a variety of growth factors and may play a role in cell proliferation. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive metabolite potentially generated as a result of PLD activation. Two human prostate cancer cell lines, PC-3 and LNCaP,
Phospholipase D (PLD) has been suggested to play an important role in a variety of cellular functions. PLD activity has been shown to be significantly elevated in many tumours and transformed cells, suggesting the possibility that PLD might be involved in tumorigenesis. In this study, we have
Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) has been reported to induce potent growth inhibition of committed myeloid progenitor cells, whereas it is a potential growth stimulator of human CD34(+)CD38(-) multipotent haematopoietic cells. The present study was aimed at evaluating the respective role of
Malignant cells result from the accumulation of genetic alterations that impinge into the components of signal transduction pathways controlling cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. One of the critical pathways is related to the regulation of the phospholipid homeostasis. The identification
Radiation and drug resistance remain the major challenges and causes of mortality in the treatment of locally advanced, recurrent and metastatic breast cancer. Dysregulation of phospholipase D (PLD) has been found in several human cancers and is associated with resistance to anticancer drugs. In the
The functional significance of phospholipase D (PLD) could most easily be investigated using selective inhibitors. We have isolated a family of fungal metabolites, ketoepoxides, that inhibit chemotactic peptide (formyl-Met-Leu-Phe)-stimulated PLD activation and superoxide generation in granulocytes
Autophagy is a catabolic process in which cell components are degraded to maintain cellular homeostasis by nutrient limitations. Defects of autophagy are involved in numerous diseases, including cancer. Here, we demonstrate a new role of phospholipase D (PLD) as a regulator of autophagy. PLD
Phospholipase D (PLD) activity has been proposed to facilitate multiple steps in cancer progression including growth, metabolism, angiogenesis, and mobility. The canonical enzymes PLD1 and PLD2 enact their diverse effects through hydrolyzing the membrane lipid phosphatidylcholine to generate the
Phospholipase D (PLD) is an essential enzyme responsible for the production of the lipid second messenger phosphatidic acid. Phosphatidic acid participates in both G protein-coupled receptor and receptor tyrosine kinase signal transduction networks. The lack of potent and isoform-selective
Phospholipases D1 and D2 (PLD1/2) hydrolyse cell membrane glycerophospholipids to generate phosphatidic acid, a signalling lipid, which regulates cell growth and cancer progression through effects on mTOR and PKB/Akt. PLD expression and/or activity is raised in breast, colorectal, gastric, kidney
Tamoxifen (TAM) is the endocrine therapeutic agent the most widely used in the treatment of breast cancer, and it operates primarily through the induction of apoptosis. In this study, we attempted to elucidate the non-ER mediated mechanism behind TAM treatment, involving the phospholipase C-protein
BACKGROUND
Acquisition of mesenchymal characteristics confers to breast cancer (BC) cells the capability of invading tissues different from primary tumor site, allowing cell migration and metastasis. Regulators of the mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) may represent targets for anticancer
During the past decade elevated phospholipase D (PLD) activity has been reported in virtually all cancers where it has been examined. PLD catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to generate the lipid second messenger phosphatidic acid (PA). While many targets of PA signaling have been
BACKGROUND
[Methyl-3H]-choline is a promising new positron emission tomography (PET) agent used for cancer imaging whose mechanism has still not fully been elucidated. In this study, whether [methyl-3H]-choline determined by measuring the activity of choline kinase (ChoK) and phospholipase D (PLD)
The anti-inflammatory activity of the phytoalexin resveratrol (RSV) was evaluated in C5 anaphylatoxin (C5a)-stimulated primary neutrophils and in a mouse model of acute peritonitis. Pretreatment of human and mouse neutrophils with RSV significantly blocked oxidative burst, leukocyte migration,
