Role of decreased levels of lipid phosphate phosphatase-1 in accumulation of lysophosphatidic acid in ovarian cancer.

چکیده
The levels of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are consistently elevated in the ascites of ovarian cancer patients, suggesting that ovarian cancer cells are exposed to an LPA replete environment. LPA stimulates cell proliferation, cell survival, resistance to cisplatin, production and activation of proteases, invasiveness and production of the neovascularizing factors, vascular endothelial growth factor, and interleukin 8. Although ovarian cancer cells can produce LPA, this may not be the major reason for altered LPA levels in ascites. We have demonstrated that the major mechanism of degradation of LPA by ovarian cancer cells is through a lipid phosphate phosphatase (LPP)-like activity. We demonstrate herein that LPP-1 mRNA is decreased in the majority of ovarian cancers. This is recapitulated in ovarian cancer cell lines, where LPP-1 RNA levels are lower than those in normal ovarian epithelium and immortalized ovarian epithelial cells. Introduction of LPP-1 into ovarian cancer cell lines results in increased LPA hydrolysis, which is associated with a marked inhibition of cell proliferation and colony-forming activity and a marked increase in apoptosis. Thus, the LPA-rich environment of the ovarian cancer cell in vivo and the subsequent effects of cellular pathophysiology may be a consequence of both increased LPA production and decreased LPA metabolism by ovarian cancer cells.

Decreased Peritoneal Ovarian Cancer Growth in Mice Lacking Expression of Lipid Phosphate Phosphohydrolase 1
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid that enhances ovarian cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro and stimulates peritoneal metastasis in vivo. LPA is generated through the action of autotaxin or phospholipases, and degradation begins with lipid phosphate phosphohydrolase (LPP)-dependent removal of the phosphate. While the effects of LPA on ovarian cancer progres...

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid mediator with multiple biological activities and is detected in various biological fluids, including human seminal plasma. Due to its cell proliferation stimulatory and anti-apoptotic activities, LPA has been implicated in the progression of some cancers such as ovarian cancer and prostate cancer. Here, we show that prostatic acid phosphatase, which is a n...

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is present at elevated concentrations in the ascites and plasma of ovarian cancer patients. Ovarian cancer cells produce and release LPA both constitutively and after stimulation. LPA can induce proliferation, survival, invasiveness, and resistance to chemotherapy of ovarian cancer cells. This suggests that LPA may be critically important for the development or progr...
