Background: In acute liver injury (ALI), cell membrane damage could induce an inflammatory response and oxidative stress. As a membrane glycerophospholipid, plasmalogens (PLS) are crucial in regulating the cell membrane properties and exhibit beneficial effects in various liver diseases. However, the specific regulatory effects of PLS in the ALI remain unknown.

Background: Host-related factors highly regulate the increased circulation of neutrophils during infection. Platelet-derived Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) is established as a high-affinity ligand to LRP6. Recently, we demonstrated that DKK1 upregulates leukocyte-platelet aggregation, infiltration of neutrophils to the draining lymph node and Th2 differentiation during infection, suggesting the potential involvement of the DKK1-LRP6 signalling pathway in neutrophil migration in infectious diseases.

Plasmalogen has been shown to exert beneficial effects on cognitive function in animal models and human clinical trials, while elastin improves vascular elasticity and increases blood flow. The levels of plasmalogen and elastin decreases with aging.

Here, using a mouse model of maternal high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, we show that whole body fat content of the offspring of HFD-fed mothers (Off-HFD) increases significantly from very early age when compared to the offspring regular diet-fed mothers (Off-RD). We have previously shown significant metabolic and immune perturbations in the bone marrow of newly-weaned offspring of obese mothers.

Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked disease, characterized clinically by cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, and growth retardation. BTHS is caused by mutations in the phospholipid acyltransferase tafazzin (Gene: TAFAZZIN, TAZ). Tafazzin catalyzes the final step in the remodeling of cardiolipin (CL), a glycerophospholipid located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
