Biochem/physiol Actions

1-Stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (LPC, Lyso-PC) is used in the development of drug transdermal delivery devices such as liposomes and micelles. It inhibits histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) activity and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation and exhibits anticancer activity in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) K562 cells.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the initial process of atherosclerosis, whereas it remains to be determined how atherogenic stimulus causes ROS-mediated proinflammatory reactions. Here, we focused on proline-rich tyrosine kinase (PYK2)-mediated ROS generation and examined how atherogenic stimulus

We here investigated the anticancer mechanism of 1-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (LPC), one of the lysophosphatidylcholines, in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) K562 cells. LPC significantly showed cytotoxicity at 80 μM and induced apoptosis by sub-G1 accumulation, increase in Annexin V positive and caspase
