Lipid rafts: cell surface platforms for T cell signaling
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2002)
Localization of the Sodium-Taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide in membrane rafts and modulation of its activity by cholesterol in vitro
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
Background: The relevance of discrete localization of hepatobiliary transporters in specific membrane microdomains is not well known. Aim: To determine whether the Na+/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp), the ...
Sizes of lipid domains: What do we know from artificial lipid membranes? What are the possible shared features with membrane rafts in cells?
(Elsevier Science, 2017-05)
In model lipid membranes with phase coexistence, domain sizes distribute in a very wide range, from the nanometer (reported in vesicles and supported films) to the micrometer (observed in many model membranes). Domain ...
Procyanidins can interact with Caco-2 cell membrane lipid rafts: involvement of cholesterol
(Elsevier Science, 2013-11)
Large procyanidins (more than three subunits) are not absorbed at the gastrointestinal tract but could exert local effects through their interactions with membranes. We previously showed that hexameric procyanidins (Hex), ...
Disruption of lipid rafts enhances the effect of lactobacilli on the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in mononuclear blood cells
(Japan Soc Biosci Biotechn Agrochem, 2008-12-07)
We investigated, to determine whether disruption of lipid rafts would influence the effect of three selected strains of Lactobacillus on TNF-alpha production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Two strains increased ...
Structure and dynamics of nano-sized raft-like domains on the plasma membrane
(American Institute of Physics, 2012-01)
Cell membranes are constitutively composed of thousands of different lipidic species, whose specific organization leads to functional heterogeneities. In particular, sphingolipids, cholesterol and some proteins associate ...
Differential expression of potassium channels in placentas from normal and pathological pregnancies: Targeting of the K ir 2.1 channel to lipid rafts
(2012)
Potassium channels play important physiological roles in human syncytiotrophoblasts (hSTBs) from placenta, an epithelium responsible for maternal-fetal exchange. Basal and apical plasma membranes differ in their lipid and ...
Lipid Rafts and Cytoskeletal Proteins in Placental Microvilli Membranes from Preeclamptic and IUGR Pregnancies
(Springer, 2011-05)
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia (PE) are leading causes of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Previously we reported the expression of lipid rafts in classical microvillous membrane ...
Lactobacillus reuteri CRL1098 soluble factors modulate tumor necrosis factor alpha production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells: involvement of lipid rafts
(Elsevier, 2012-10)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the capacity of Lactobacillus reuteri CRL1098 soluble factors (Lr-S) to modulate TNF-α production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and to study lipid rafts participation ...
