Activity of the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) is the limiting step for discretionary Na+ reabsorption in the cortical collecting duct. Xenopus laevis kidney A6 cells were used to investigate the effects of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activity on Na+ transport.

Globoid cell leukodystrophy (Krabbe disease) is an inherited neurological disorder caused by the pathogenomic accumulation of psychosine (galactosylsphingosine), a substrate for the deficient enzyme galactocerebroside beta-galactosidase. This study underscores the mechanism of action of psychosine in the regulation of oligodendrocyte

In this paper we show that exposure of a rat brain synaptosome fraction to the amyloid beta peptide fragment betaA(25-35), but not the inverted peptide betaA(35-25), stimulated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is known to increase the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), leading to cell damage. In the present study we examined whether LPC activates phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and whether the activation of PLA2 is responsible for the LPC-induced cell

This letter describes a new method for studying the interaction of the membrane-lysing enzyme phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) with phospholipid bilayers by simultaneous measurements of enzyme binding and vesicle lysis using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and permeabilization using surface plasmon field-enhanced
