Protective effects of fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibition in UVB-activated microglia. (PubMed, Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids)
Pharmacological FAAH inhibition via URB597 counteracted the effects of UVB exposure, decreasing tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and nitric oxide (NO) release and reverting reactive oxidative species (ROS), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels to the control levels. Our findings support the potential of enhanced fatty acid amide signaling in mitigating UVB-induced cellular damage, paving the way to further exploration of these lipids in light-induced immune responses.

Identification of fatty acid amide hydrolase as a metastasis suppressor in breast cancer. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
Here, we report that the lipid-degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a predictor of long-term survival in patients with luminal BC, and that it blocks tumor progression and lung metastasis in cell and mouse models of BC. Together, our findings highlight the potential of FAAH as a biomarker with prognostic value in luminal BC and as a therapeutic target in metastatic disease.

Activation of cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1) modulates oligodendroglial process branching complexity in rat hippocampal cultures stimulated by olfactory ensheathing glia-conditioned medium. (PubMed, Front Cell Neurosci)
These cultures were also treated with URB597 10-9 M, a FAAH selective inhibitor, or JZL184 10-9 M, a MAGL selective inhibitor, which led to the increase in the concentrations of OEA and 2-AG in the conditioned medium...We also observed no change in the phosphorylation of Akt and ERK 44/42 in any of the conditions used. In conclusion, our data show that the ECS modulates the number and maturation of oligodendrocytes in hippocampal mixed cell cultures.

Genetic Knockout of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) Ameliorates Cisplatin-induced Nephropathy in Mice. (PubMed, Mol Pharmacol)
Notably, a selective FAAH inhibitor (PF-04457845) did not interfere with or perturb the antitumor effects of cisplatin in two head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines, HN30 and HN12. Significance Statement Mice lacking the Faah gene are protected from cisplatin-induced inflammation, DNA damage response, tubular damages and kidney dysfunction. Inactivation of FAAH could be a potential strategy to mitigate cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

MicroRNA miR-1275 coordinately regulates AEA/LPA signals via targeting FAAH in lipid metabolism reprogramming of gastric cancer. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
Overexpression and knockdown of miR-1275 in vitro could indirectly modulate the above lipid signalling by targeting FAAH, thereby affecting GC progression. Our study indicates that deregulated FAAH is a key lipid signal and the miR-1275/FAAH/AEA/LPA axis can serve as a diagnostic biomarker for GC or as a target for therapy development.

Knockout of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) gene attenuates cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in mice. (PubMed, FASEB J)
Western blot analysis revealed that in comparison with WT-vehicle mice, WT-cisplatin mice showed significant upregulation of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), which was remarkably reduced in Faah mice (1.6-fold versus 0.8-fold compared to the WT-vehicle group, p<0.05). These data suggest that inactivation of FAAH prevents nephrotoxicity caused by cisplatin treatment and that targeting FAAH may provide a novel strategy to mitigate cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Multi-Omics Approach Points to the Importance of Oxylipins Metabolism in Early-Stage Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Results allow us to suppose that oxylipin signatures reflect the organism's level of response to the disease. Our data regarding changes in oxylipins at the system level show that oxylipin profiles can be used to evaluate the early stages of breast cancer.

Influence of genetic variants of opioid-related genes on opioid-induced adverse effects in patients with lung cancer: A STROBE-compliant observational study. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
In this study, we compared the incidence of opioid-induced adverse effects between patients with different variants of the genes related to responsiveness to opioid analgesics.Participants were 88 patients with lung cancer who provided general consent for exome sequencing and were treated with morphine or oxycodone at Shizuoka Cancer Center Hospital between April 2014 and August 2018. Incidence rates for 6 adverse effects of opioid therapy (somnolence, nausea, constipation, delirium, urinary retention, and pruritus) were determined and the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms in coding regions of the opioid μ receptor 1 (OPRM1) (rs1799971), opioid δ receptor 1 (rs2234918), opioid κ receptor 1 (rs1051660), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) (rs4680), dopamine receptor D2 (rs6275), adenosine triphosphate binding cassette B1 (rs1045642), G-protein regulated inward rectifier potassium channel 2 (rs2070995), and fatty acid amide hydrolase (rs324420) genes on those adverse effects were analyzed.Analysis of OPRM1 gene variant status (Asn133Asp A > G) showed that G/G homozygotes were at significantly lower risk of somnolence compared with A allele carriers (0% vs 28.4%; Fisher exact test, P = .005; OR, 0; 95% CI, 0-0.6), and analysis of COMT gene variant status (Val158Met, G > A) showed that G/G homozygotes were at significantly higher risk of somnolence compared with A allele carriers (35.0% vs 10.4%; Fisher exact test, P = .008; OR, 4.5; 95% CI, 1.4-18.1). No relationship between variant status and adverse effects was found for the other genes.These findings demonstrate that OPRM1 and COMT gene variants influence the risk of somnolence as an adverse effect of opioid analgesic therapy.

Genetic Variants of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase Modulate Acute Inflammatory Responses to Colitis in Adult Male Mice. (PubMed, Front Cell Neurosci)
In the amygdala, the mutant A allele led to lower levels of IL-1α, IL-9, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1β, and MIP-2 independent of colitis-providing additional understanding of how FAAH may serve as a regulator of inflammatory responses in the brain. Together, these data provide insights into how FAAH regulates inflammatory processes in disease.

Concentration-dependent effects of chlorpyrifos oxon on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling in MCF-7 cells. (PubMed, Toxicol In Vitro)
These findings suggest chlorpyrifos may influence lipid metabolism through blocking the degradation of eCBs or eCB-like metabolites and in turn affecting PPAR receptor activation. The results highlight the potential for non-cholinesterase actions of this common insecticide metabolite through disruption of PPAR signaling including effects on lipid metabolism, immune function and inflammation.

PF-3845, a Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase Inhibitor, Directly Suppresses Osteoclastogenesis through ERK and NF-κB Pathways In Vitro and Alveolar Bone Loss In Vivo. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Furthermore, the administration of PF-3845 decreased the number of osteoclasts and the amount of alveolar bone destruction caused by ligature placement in experimental periodontitis in vivo. The present study provides evidence that PF-3845 is able to suppress osteoclastogenesis and prevent alveolar bone loss, and may give new insights into its role as a treatment for osteoclast-related diseases.

Effects of orthotopic implantation of rat prostate tumour cells upon components of the N-acylethanolamine and monoacylglycerol signalling systems: an mRNA study. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Treatment of the AT1 cells with interleukin-6, a cytokine known to be involved in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer, did not affect the expression of the components of the NAE/MAG system studied. It is thus concluded that in the model system studied, the tumours show different expressions of mRNA coding for key the components of the NAE/MAG system compared to the host tissue, but that these changes are not accompanied by alterations in the non-malignant tissue.

Cannabinoid receptor subtype influence on neuritogenesis in human SH-SY5Y cells. (PubMed, Mol Cell Neurosci)
Endocannabinoid ligands 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide were quantitated in SH-SY5Y cells, and diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor tetrahydrolipstatin decreased 2-AG abundance by 90% but did not alter anandamide abundance...CB receptor expression increased GAP43 and ST8SIA2 mRNA and decreased ITGA1 mRNA, whereas CB receptor expression increased NCAM and SYT mRNA. We propose that basal endogenous production of 2-AG provides autocrine stimulation of CB receptor signaling through Gi/o, Gβγ, and β-arrestin mechanisms to promote neuritogenesis, and rho kinase influences process extension.
