• The majority of cases are primary and related to auto-antibodies against podocyte antigens, most notably phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A) though newer antigens continue to be discovered [ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In 2009, we had a seminal moment when you published a manuscript in The New England Journal of Medicine describing PLA2R, phospholipase A2 receptor, as the antigen that was responsible for a majority of the cases of MN. (medscape.com)
  • Secreted phospholipases A 2 (sPLA 2 s) participate in a very broad spectrum of biological processes through their enzymatic activity and as ligands for membrane and soluble receptors. (ijbs.com)
  • Excessive Ca 2 + entry through glutamate receptors activates a large array of potential neurotoxic mechanisms, which include activation of enzymes such as phospholipases, calpains and other proteases, protein kinases, nitric oxide synthetase, endonucleases, as well as reactive oxygen species (for review, see Sattler and Tymianski, 2000 ).

  • Exposure of cortical neurons to neurotoxic concentrations of NMDA increased extracellular choline and activated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol by phospholipase A 2 but did not induce significant degradation of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, or phosphatidylserine.

  • Because ROS are generated during AA metabolism and AA can be released as a result of ROS-mediated phospholipase A(2) activation, it seems likely that their effects on uptake are mediated by a common mechanism. (unimi.it)
  • Interestingly, DAG to which PKD1 is recruited in this pathway is formed downstream of phospholipase D1 (PLD1) and a lipase-inactive PLD1 or inhibition of PLD1 by pharmacological inhibitors blocked PKD1 activation under oxidative stress. (biologists.com)
  • The gastric and gallbladder emptying time was reduced after long term acid inhibition by omeprazole in the treatment of reflux esophagitis combined with concomitant reduction of postprandial release of pancreatic polypeptides and normal serum VIP and CCK. (wjgnet.com)

  • 2006). The serum levels of workers engaged in sealant removal were 2-10 times higher at the end of these activities than they had been one year before (Kontsas et al. (who.int)
  • Furthermore, a strong positive genetic interaction occurs between Gap1 and phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma), an enzyme that generates inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate, a precursor for IP4 and a second messenger for intracellular Ca2+ release. (sdbonline.org)
