Disease relevance of Ptafr

  • Furthermore, the hypotension and intestinal injury was prevented by PAF receptor blockade [1].
  • To determine whether PAF receptor (PAFR) expression is altered during excitotoxicity, changes in PAFR mRNA localization were compared with markers of neuronal apoptosis and reactive gliosis following systemic injection of kainic acid [2].
  • The production of platelet-activating factor (PAF) and PAF-like phospholipids that also bind the PAF receptor are implicated in numerous pathological situations including bacterial endotoxemia and injury-induced oxidative damage [3].
  • Pulmonary responses detected (i.e., eicosanoid production, leukocytic infiltration, Evan's blue extravasation, beta-glucuronidase release) were attenuated to varying degrees by treatment of rats in which pancreatitis was initiated with the PAF receptor antagonists (WEB2170 and BN52021) [4].
  • With the use of this novel PAF receptor antagonist, the in vivo mediator role of PAF in the soluble immune complex-induced hypotension, extravasation, vascular lysosomal hydrolase secretion, and neutropenia in rats was determined [5].

Associations of Ptafr with chemical compounds

  • Previous injection of the specific platelet-activating factor receptor antagonists, BN 52021 or BN 50730, was also unable to restore a normal marker excretion profile after administration of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid [25].
  • Platelet activating factor (PAF) is a potent phospholipid mediator which elicits a diverse array of biological actions by interacting with G protein-coupled PAF receptors (PAFR) [26].
  • Therefore, using 16 rats, we studied the effects of the platelet activating factor receptor blockers BN 52021 (10 mg/kg, n = 4 or 30 mg/kg, n = 2) and WEB 2086 (5 mg/kg, n = 6) on global cerebral blood flow and the cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen and compared them with the effect of indomethacin (10 mg/kg, n = 4) [27].
  • This enhancement was blocked by three structurally unrelated specific PAF receptor antagonists BN 52021, WEB 2170, and CV 3988 [28].
  • Although PAF stimulated 10-fold increases in inositol phosphate accumulation in rPAFR transfectants, it had no effects on inositol phosphate accumulation in amphipathic helix mutant PAFR transfectants [29].
 

Regulatory relationships of Ptafr

  • 2. Pre-treatment with the PAF receptor antagonist WEB 2086 inhibited des-Arg(9)-BK-induced oedema in IL-1 beta-treated paws, while the LTB(4) receptor antagonist CP105696 had no effect [30].
  • The PAF receptor antagonist WEB 2170 almost completely blocked the ATS and RS induced MCP-1 mRNA levels [31].
