The Phospholipase A2 Receptor 1 (PLA2R1) was first identified for its ability to bind some secreted PLA2s (sPLA2s). It belongs to the C-type lectin superfamily and it binds different types of proteins. It is likely a multifunctional protein that plays a role i) in inflammation and inflammatory diseases, ii) in cellular senescence, a mechanism...

UNLABELLED: ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Dysregulation of many apoptotic related genes and androgens are critical in the development, progression, and treatment of prostate cancer. The differential sensitivity of tumour cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis can be mediated by the modulation of surface TRAIL receptor expression related to androgen...

Little is known about the biological functions of the phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R1) except that it has the ability to bind a few secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2's). We have previously shown that PLA2R1 regulates senescence in normal human cells. In this study, we investigated the ability of PLA2R1 to control cancer cell growth. Analysis...

Loss of secreted phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R1) has recently been found to render human primary cells more resistant to senescence whereas increased PLA2R1 expression is able to induce cell cycle arrest, cancer cell death or blockage of cancer cell transformation in vitro, suggesting that PLA2R1 displays tumor suppressive activities. Here...

Little is known about the physiological role of the phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R1). PLA2R1 has been described as regulating the replicative senescence, a telomerase-dependent proliferation arrest. The downstream PLA2R1 signaling and its role in cancer are currently unknown. Senescence induction in response to activated oncogenes is a...
