Fall 2009
First-line treatment of breast and other cancers with Taxol is compromised by resistance in up to 40% of patients. To improve chemotherapy, it is vital to understand how Taxol resistance develops and to overcome this. Autotaxin (ATX) promotes cancer cell survival, growth, migration, invasion...

Lipid phosphate phosphatase-1 expression in cancer cells attenuates tumor growth and metastasis in mice
Download2014
Dewald, Jay, Santos, Webster L., Patwardhan, Neeraj, Zhao, Yuan Y., McMullen, Todd P. W., Curtis, Jonathan M., Brindley, David N., Tang, Xiaoyun, Benesch, Matthew G. K.
Lipid phosphate phosphatase-1 (LPP1) degrades lysophosphatidate (LPA) and attenuates receptor-mediated signaling. LPP1 expression is low in many cancer cells and tumors compared with normal tissues. It was hypothesized from studies with cultured cells that increasing LPP1 activity would decrease...

Molecular imaging of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and autotaxin (ATX) in cancer using positron emission tomography (PET)
DownloadFall 2020
Positron emission tomography (PET) relies on the use of β+-emitting radionuclide-bearing molecules congregating and decaying at a specific site of interest. Use of these molecules, called radiotracers, which target common tumor characteristics has become a pillar in the diagnosis of cancer and...

Fall 2015
Systemic chemotherapy in combination with local intervention through surgery and radiotherapy are effective treatments for breast cancers. Chemotherapy is often used in patients with early signs of disease to effectively shrink the tumor and prevent metastasis before surgical excision of the...

Tetracyclines increase lipid phosphate phosphatase expression on plasma membranes and turnover of plasma lysophosphatidate
Download2016-01-01
Tang, Xiaoyun, Zhao, Yuan Y., Dewald, Jay, Curtis, Jonathan M., Brindley, David N.
Extracellular lysophosphatidate and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) are important bioactive lipids, which signal through G-protein-coupled receptors to stimulate cell growth and survival. The lysophosphatidate and S1P signals are terminated partly by degradation through three broad-specificity...

Spring 2010
Increased expression of autotaxin has been shown to promote metastasis formation and cancer proliferation. These actions could be related to the catalytic activity of autotaxin which converts lysophosphatidylcholine into lysophosphatidate extracellularly or non-catalytic functions...
