Role of lysophosphatidic acid in the regulation of uterine leiomyoma cell proliferation by phospholipase D and autotaxin.

چکیده
Phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine into phosphatidic acid (PA), a lipidic mediator that may act directly on cellular proteins or may be metabolized into lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). We previously showed that PLD contributed to the mitogenic effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in a leiomyoma cell line (ELT3 cells). In this work, we tested the ability of exogenous PA and PLD from Streptomyces chromofuscus (scPLD) to reproduce the effect of endogenous PLD in ELT3 cells and the possibility that these agents acted through LPA formation. We found that PA, scPLD, and LPA stimulated thymidine incorporation. LPA and scPLD induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK(1/2)) mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. Using Ki16425, an LPA(1)/LPA(3) receptor antagonist and small interfering RNA targeting LPA(1) receptor, we demonstrated that scPLD acted through LPA production and LPA(1) receptor activation. We found that scPLD induced LPA production by hydrolyzing lysophosphatidylcholine through its lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD) activity. Autotaxin (ATX), a naturally occurring lysoPLD, reproduced the effects of scPLD. By contrast, endogenous PLD stimulated by ET-1 failed to produce LPA. These results demonstrate that scPLD stimulated ELT3 cell proliferation by an LPA-dependent mechanism, different from that triggered by endogenous PLD. These data suggest that in vivo, an extracellular lysoPLD such as ATX may participate in leiomyoma growth through local LPA formation.

Autotaxin–lysophosphatidic acid–LPA 3 signaling at the embryo‐epithelial boundary controls decidualization pathways
During pregnancy, up-regulation of heparin-binding (HB-) EGF and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the uterine epithelium contributes to decidualization, a series of uterine morphological changes required for placental formation and fetal development. Here, we report a key role for the lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in decidualization, acting through its G-protein-coupled receptor LPA3 in...
متن کاملLysophospholipids in the limelight
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a serum phospholipid that evokes growth factor-like responses in many cell types through the activation of its G protein-coupled receptors. Although much is known about LPA signaling, it has remained unclear where and how bioactive LPA is produced. Umezu-Goto et al. (2002)(this issue, page 227) have purified a serum lysophospholipase D that generates LPA from lyso...

متن کاملUterine Leiomyoma and Reproductive Tract Infections Detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction
Background and Objective: For nearly a century, it has been suspected that reproductive tract infections play an etiologic role in uterine leiomyoma. However, no epidemiologic study of leiomyoma has used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to compare uterine tissues from cases and non-cases, and to investigate associations between uterine leiomyoma and infections detected by PC...

Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted glycoprotein that has been implicated in various physiological and pathophysiological processes, including vascular and neural development, lymphocyte trafficking, fibrosis and tumour progression. ATX functions as lysophopholipase D (lysoPLD), hydrolysing lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) into the signalling lipid lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). LPA stimulates cell migrat...
