Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling via LPA receptors (LPA to LPA) contributes to the promotion of malignant potency in cancer cells. The cell motile activity are stimulated through the induction of LPA in melanoma cells treated with anticancer drugs. The present study aimed to investigate whether LPA signaling via LPA regulates chemoresistance in melanoma A375 cells. Cells were treated with cisplatin (CDDP) or dacarbazine (DTIC) every 24 h for 2 days. CDDP and DTIC treatment increased LPAR5 expressions. The cell survival rates of A375 cells treated with CDDP and DTIC were significantly decreased by LPA. In addition, LPAR5 expression was markedly elevated in long-term CDDP treated (A375-CDDP) cells. LPA decreased the cell survival rate of A375-CDDP cells treated with CDDP. To evaluate the roles of LPA in chemoresistance during tumor progression, highly migratory (A375-R11) cells were established from A375 cells. LPAR5 expression level was significantly lower in A375-R11 cells than in A375 cells. The cell survival rates of A375-R11 cells treated with CDDP and DTIC were increased, compared with A375 cells. Moreover, we generated LPA knockdown cells from A375 cells. The cell survival rates of A375 cells treated with CDDP and DTIC were significantly elevated by LPA knockdown. These results suggest that LPA signaling via LPA is involved in the modulation of chemoresistance in melanoma A375 cells.

: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a monogenic dyslipidemia that leads to early cardiovascular events. Subclinical atherosclerosis refers to the formation of atheromatous plaques in arterial beds before any clinical events. In our study, we investigated the presence, extent, and independent predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis among patients diagnosed with FH.

The autotaxin-lysophosphatidic acid receptor (ATX-LPAR) signaling axis is pivotal in various clinical conditions, including cancer and autoimmune disorders. This axis promotes tumorigenicity by interacting with the tumor microenvironment, facilitating metastasis, and conceding antitumor immunity, thereby fostering resistance to conventional cancer therapies. Recent studies highlight the promise of ATX/LPAR inhibitors in combination with conventional chemotherapeutic drugs to overcome some forms of this resistance, representing a novel therapeutic strategy.

Background: Accurate and timely diagnosis of mycobacterial infections, including complex (MTBC) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), is crucial for effective disease management.
Methods: This study evaluated the performance of the NeoPlex TB/NTM-5 Detection Kit (NeoPlex assay, Seongnam, Republic of Korea), a multiplex real-time PCR assay that incorporates melting curve analysis, compared with the line-probe assay (LPA). The NeoPlex assay could simultaneously detect and differentiate MTBC from five other NTM species: , , , , and .

Background: Vaginal childbirth is one of the main risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can facilitate quantitative evaluation of the morphology and function of the pelvic floor in static and dynamic environments. The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in pelvic floor morphology and function in primigravida women before pregnancy (BP) and after vaginal delivery.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with well-established metabolic risk factors, especially hyperlipidemia and obesity. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (mIRI) significantly offsets the therapeutic efficacy of revascularization. Previous studies indicated that disrupted lipid homeostasis can lead to lipid peroxidation damage and inflammation, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
