Role of lysophosphatidic acid and its receptors in health and disease: novel therapeutic strategies
Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2021 Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an abundant bioactive phospholipid, with multiple functions both in development and in pathological conditions. Here, we review the literature about the differential signaling of LPA through its specific receptors, which ...

Lysophosphatidic Acid Signaling in Cancer Cells: What Makes LPA So Special?
Cells, 2021 Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) refers to a family of simple phospholipids that act as ligands for G protein-coupled receptors. While LPA exerts effects throughout the body in normal physiological circumstances, its pathological role in cancer is of great ...

Cell Death Discovery, 2023 Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an active phospholipid signaling molecule that binds to six specific G protein-coupled receptors (LPA1-6) on the cell surface and exerts a variety of biological functions, including cell migration and proliferation ...

Inhibition of Subsets of G Protein-coupled Receptors by Empty Mutants of G Protein α Subunits in Go, G11, and G16 [PDF]
, 2000 We previously reported that the xanthine nucleotide binding Goα mutant, GoαX, inhibited the activation of Gi-coupled receptors. We constructed similar mutations in G11α and G16α and characterized their nucleotide binding and receptor interaction.

Molecular Pain, 2009 Background We previously reported that intrathecal injection of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) induced neuropathic pain through activation of the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-1 receptor, possibly via conversion to LPA by autotaxin (ATX).

TRPV1 channels are critical brain inflammation detectors and neuropathic pain biomarkers in mice [PDF]
, 2017 The capsaicin receptor TRPV1 has been widely characterized in the sensory system as a key component of pain and inflammation. A large amount of evidence shows that TRPV1 is also functional in the brain although its role is still debated.

PLoS ONE, 2011 Despite wide margins and high dose irradiation, unresectable malignant glioma (MG) is less responsive to radiation and is uniformly fatal. We previously found that cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA(2)) is a molecular target for radiosensitizing cancer ...

Respiratory Research, 2009 Background Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) plays a critical role in airway inflammation through G protein-coupled LPA receptors (LPA1-3). We have demonstrated that LPA induced cytokine and lipid mediator release in human bronchial epithelial cells.

Melanoma cells break down LPA to establish local gradients that drive chemotactic dispersal. [PDF]
, 2014 The high mortality of melanoma is caused by rapid spread of cancer cells, which occurs unusually early in tumour evolution. Unlike most solid tumours, thickness rather than cytological markers or differentiation is the best guide to metastatic potential.
