RHC 80267 is a diacylglycerol (DAG) lipase inhibitor and an important second messenger in signal transduction pathways. RHC 80267 is generated by the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (PI) and bPC by phospholipase C (PLC). DAG mediates the actions of a large number of hormones and cytokines by activating protein kinase C (PKC). A sustained elevation in intracellular DAG may cause neoplastic transformation.

Endocannabinoids (ECs) act as retrograde messengers that enable postsynaptic cells to regulate the strength of their synaptic inputs. Here, by using physiological and histological techniques, we showed that, unlike in other parts of the brain, excitatory inputs are more sensitive

We have used a phospholipase C (PLC)-deletion mutant (plcABC) of the H37Rv strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), as well as a plcA-insertion mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis, to investigate the possible involvement of PLCs in clofazimine-mediated inhibition of mycobacterial K(+) transport

5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a potent pulmonary vasoconstrictor and mitogenic agent whose concentration increases in pulmonary hypertensive patients. Chronic hypoxia induces selective pulmonary arterial hypertension; therefore, we investigated chronic hypoxia effect on the calcium and contractile responses to 5-HT focusing on
Endocannabinoids have been implicated in cancer. Increasing endogenous 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) by blocking its metabolism inhibits invasion of androgen-independent prostate cancer (PC-3 and DU-145) cells. Noladin ether (a stable 2-AG analog) and exogenous CB1 receptor agonists possess similar effects. Conversely, reducing
The reason why neurons synthesize more than one endocannabinoid (eCB) and how this is involved in the regulation of synaptic plasticity in a single neuron is not known. We found that 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide mediate different forms of plasticity
