However, the mechanisms underlying such resistance remain unclear. Methods: In this study, we performed Western blot, q‑PCR, and promoter assay to examine the expression of HDAC inhibitor‑induced phospholipase D2 (PLD2) in MDA‑MB231and MDA‑MB435 breast cancer cells. Apoptosis and proliferation were analyzed by fow cytometry. In addition to invasion and migration assay, angiogenesis was further measured using in vitro tube formation and chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane model. Results: HDAC inhibitors including suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), trichostatin, and apicidin, induce expres‑ sion of PLD2 in a transcriptional level. SAHA upregulates expression of PLD2 via protein kinase C‑ζ in breast cancer cells and increases the enzymatic activity of PLD. The combination treatment of SAHA with PLD2 inhibitor signifcantly enhances cell death in breast cancer cells. Phosphatidic acid, a product of PLD activity, prevented apoptosis promoted by cotreatment with SAHA and PLD2 inhibitor, suggesting that SAHA‑induced PLD2 expression and subsequent acti‑ vation of PLD2 might confers resistance of breast cancer cells to HDAC inhibitor. The combinational treatment of the drugs signifcantly suppressed invasion, migration, and angiogenesis, compared with that of either treatment. Conclusion: These fndings provide further insight into elucidating the advantages of combination therapy with HDAC and PLD2 inhibitors over single‑agent strategies for the treatment of cancer.

In other cases, however, and of interest to the topic of adrenal steroidogenesis, f angiotensin phospholipases produce second messengers that modify the function of a cell. In this f intracellular signaling review, the enzymatic reactions, products, and effectors of three phospholipases, f phospholipids phospholipase C, phospholipase D, and phospholipase A2, are discussed. Although f signal transduction much data have been obtained concerning the role of phospholipases C and D in regulating adrenal steroid hormone production, there are still many gaps in our knowledge. Furthermore, little is known about the involvement of phospholipase A2, Endocrinology perhaps, in part, because this enzyme comprises a large family of related enzymes of that are differentially regulated and with different functions.

Garcı´a-Martı´na,y We investigate the profile of choline metabolites and the expression of the genes of the Kennedy pathway in biopsies of human gliomas (n ¼ 23) using 1H High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning (HR-MAS, 11.7 Tesla, 277 K, 4000 Hz) and individual genetic assays. 1H HR-MAS spectra allowed the resolution and relative quantification by the LCModel of the resonances from choline (Cho), phosphocholine (PC) and glycerophosphorylcholine (GPC), the three main components of the combined tCho peak observed in gliomas by in vivo 1H NMR spectroscopy. All glioma biopsies depicted a prominent tCho peak. However, the relative contributions of Cho, PC, and GPC to tCho were different for low and high grade gliomas. Whereas GPC is the main component in low grade gliomas, the high grade gliomas show a dominant contribution of PC. This circumstance allowed the discrimination of high and low grade gliomas by 1H HR-MAS, a result that could not be obtained using the tCho/Cr ratio commonly used by in vivo 1H NMR spectroscopy. The expression of the genes involved in choline metabolism has been investigated in the same biopsies.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally through specific pairing with target mes- senger RNAs (mRNAs). Extracellular vesicles (EVs), a heterogeneous group of cell-derived vesicles, transport miRNAs, mRNAs and intracellular proteins, and have been shown to promote horizon- tal malignancy into adjacent tissue, as well as resistance to conventional therapies. Furthermore, GB-derived EVs have distinct miRNA contents and are able to penetrate the blood–brain barrier.

Minor Abstract Despite the widespread consumption of ethanol, mechanisms underlying its anesthetic effects remain uncertain. n-Alcohols induce anesthesia up to a specific chain length and then lose potency—an observation known as the “chain-length cutoff effect.” This cutoff effect is thought to be mediated by alcohol binding sites on proteins such as ion channels, but where these sites are for long-chain alcohols and how they mediate a cutoff remain poorly defined. In animals, the enzyme phospholipase D (PLD) has been shown to generate alcohol metabolites (e.g., phosphatidylethanol) with a cutoff, but no phenotype has been shown connecting PLD to an anesthetic effect. Here we show loss of PLD blocks ethanol-mediated hyperactivity in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly), demonstrating that PLD mediates behavioral responses to alcohol in vivo.

  • Phospholipase D Functional Ablation Has a Protective Effect in An
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Phospholipase D functional ablation has a protective efect in an Alzheimer’s disease Received: 7 September 2017 Accepted: 13 February 2018 Caenorhabditis elegans model Published: xx xx xxxx Francisca Vaz Bravo1,2, Jorge Da Silva1,2, Robin Barry Chan3, Gilbert Di Paolo3,4, Andreia Teixeira-Castro1,2 & Tiago Gil Oliveira 1,2 Phospholipase D (PLD) is a key player in the modulation of multiple aspects of cell physiology and has been proposed as a therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here, we characterize a PLD mutant, pld-1, using the Caenorhabditis elegans animal model. We show that pld-1 animals present decreased phosphatidic acid levels, that PLD is the only source of total PLD activity and that pld-1 animals are more sensitive to the acute efects of ethanol. We further show that PLD is not essential for survival or for the normal performance in a battery of behavioral tests. Interestingly, pld-1 animals present both increased size and lipid stores levels. While ablation of PLD has no important efect in worm behavior, its ablation in an AD-like model that overexpresses amyloid-beta (Aβ), markedly improves various phenotypes such as motor tasks, prevents susceptibility to a proconvulsivant drug, has a protective efect upon serotonin treatment and reverts the biometric changes in the Aβ animals, leading to the normalization of the worm body size. Overall, this work proposes the C. elegans model as a relevant tool to study the functions of PLD and further supports the notion that PLD has a signifcant role in neurodegeneration.
