LPC 18:2-Driven Apoptosis In Neutrophils Is Non-Inflammatory and Lipid Raft Dependent

Priyanka Saminathan, Alicia Gibbons, Ian T. Mathews, Maija Corey, Ashmitaa Logandha Ramamoorthy Premlal, Mahati Rayadurgam, Namratha Nadig, Camille Fang, Neha Reddy, Mousa Vatanmakanian, Carolina Altbaum, Sonia Sharma

This study compares the effects of LPC 18:2 and LPC 16:0 on neutrophil apoptosis, showing LPC 18:2 induces non-inflammatory, lipid raft-dependent apoptosis while LPC 16:0 causes inflammatory pyroptosis.

Deoxyguanosine Kinase Deficiency Couples Purine Metabolism to Innate Immune Activation and Lipid Accumulation in Hepatocytes

Maija Corey, Mahati Rayadurgam, Mousa Vatanmakanian, Alicia Gibbons, Carolina Altbaum, Jeamin Jung, Neha Reddy, Priyanka Saminathan, Kiyokazu Kakugawa, Sonia Sharma

This study shows DGUOK deficiency disrupts purine metabolism, leading to lipid accumulation and innate immune activation in hepatocytes, independent of mtDNA depletion.
