Phosphatidic acid (PA), lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), and sphingosine 1-phosphate (SPP) are naturally occurring phospholipids which induce a variety of effects as extracellular messengers. In this study, we compared the effects of these phospholipid signaling molecules on the migration of invasive
We previously demonstrated that phosphatidic acid (PA) induces chemotactic migration of highly metastatic breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. The widely used anticancer drug doxorubicin was reported to induce apoptosis of cancer cells. Growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) and bioactive
Phospholipids are important signaling molecules that regulate cell proliferation, death, migration, and metabolism. Many phospholipid signaling cascades are altered in breast cancer. To understand the functions of phospholipid signaling molecules, genetically encoded phospholipid biosensors have
Little is known about the cellular events promoting metastasis. We show that knockout of phospholipase D2 (PLD2), which generates the signaling lipid phosphatidic acid (PA), inhibits lung metastases in the mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-Neu transgenic mouse breast cancer model. PLD2 promotes local
Phospholipase D (PLD) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) to produce phosphatidic acid (PA) and choline. PLD is a major enzyme implicated in important cellular processes, such as cell proliferation. We designed this study to investigate the expression of PLD in human breast
Steady state fluorescence spectroscopy is used to study the binding characteristics of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) to MCF-7 human breast cancer cells solubilized in a liposomal vesicle prepared with L-alpha-phosphatidic acid, dipalmitoyl. The observed apparent binding constant, K', of 1.14 x 10(7)
BACKGROUND
Estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancers have a worse prognosis than ER-positive cancers, being more aggressive and overexposed to stimuli leading to their progression. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been associated with proliferation, migration and invasion of tumor cells, and
The expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is highly regulated in normal cells, whereas some cancer cells have high constitutive levels. Understanding naturally-occurring ways of downregulating EGFR in cancer cells was investigated. Phosphatidic acid (PA) or Nuclear Receptors (NR)
Biochemical markers improve the classification and staging of breast cancer and may refine management decisions if it can be shown that they correlate with accepted prognostic factors or patient outcome. Using phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((31)P MRS), we determined the phospholipid
A consistent metabolic hallmark observed in multiple cancers is the increase of cellular phosphocholine (PC) and total choline-containing compounds (tCho), which is closely related to malignant transformation, invasion, and metastasis. Enzymes in choline phospholipid metabolism present attractive
This review will focus on the role of sphingosine and its phosphorylated derivative sphingosine-1-phosphate (SPP) in cell growth regulation and signal transduction. We will show that many of the effects attributed to sphingosine in quiescent Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts are mediated via its conversion to
BACKGROUND
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Identification of lipid targets that play a role in breast cancer invasion may advance our understanding of the rapid progression of cancer and may lead to the development of new biomarkers for the
Analysis was performed on four different categories of phospholipids (phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and phosphatidic acid (PA)) from urine in patients with breast cancer. This quantitative analysis was conducted using nanoflow liquid
Breast cancer (BC) is a highly heterogeneous disease associated with metabolic reprogramming. The shifts in the metabolome caused by BC still lack data from Latin populations of Hispanic origin. In this pilot study, metabolomic and lipidomic approaches were performed to establish a plasma metabolic
Overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is one of the frequent mechanisms implicated in cancer progression, and so is the overexpression of the enzyme phospholipase D (PLD) and its reaction product, phosphatidic acid (PA). However, an understanding of how these signaling molecules
