LPA Receptor
Lysophosphatidic acid upregulates connective tissue growth factor expression in osteoblasts through the GPCR/PKC and PKA pathways
445 views | Jun 17 2018
Yu ZL et al. indicated that LPA increases CCN2 expression through the activation of PKC and PKA. Thus, the regulatory functions of the PKC and PKA pathways are implicated in the LPA-induced increase in CCN2 expression. [Read the Full Post]
Both genetic deletion and pharmacological blockade of lysophosphatidic acid LPA1 receptor results in increased alcohol consumption
335 views | Jun 17 2018
Castilla-Ortega E et al. suggested a relevant role for the LPA/LPA1 signaling system in alcoholism. In addition, the LPA1-null mice emerge as a new model for genetic vulnerability to excessive alcohol drinking. The pharmacological manipulation of LPA1 receptor arises as a new target for the study and treatment of alcoholism. [Read the Full Post]
Modulation of Nav1.8 by Lysophosphatidic Acid in the Induction of Bone Cancer Pain
385 views | Apr 26 2018
Pan HL et al. demonstrated the modulation of Nav1.8 by LPA in DRG neurons, and that this probably underlies the peripheral mechanism by which bone cancer pain is induced. [Read the Full Post]
