Abstract
Lipid phosphate phosphohydrolase-3 (LPP3) is a cell surface protein that exhibits ectoenzyme activity. Previously, we identified human LPP3 in a functional assay of angiogenesis and showed that the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif in the proposed second extracellular domain interacts with a subset of integrins to mediate cell-cell adhesion. In contrast to the RGD domain of human LPP3, murine Lpp3 contains a variant sequence, Arg-Gly-Glu (RGE). Whether the RGE motif of murine Lpp3 mediates cell-cell interaction has not been studied. In this report, we test the hypothesis that the cell adhesion function of the LPP3 protein is conserved across mouse and human. A glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein of the proposed second extracellular loop of the murine Lpp3 sequence (GST-mLpp3-RGE) promoted attachment of cells in a long-term cell adhesion assay. GST-mLpp3-RGE interacted with alpha(5)beta(1) and alpha(v)beta(3) integrins in a solid-phase ELISA, while a mutant control, GST-hLPP3-RAD, did not. Long-term adhesion of endothelial cells to GST-mLpp3-RGE induced phosphorylation of FAK, SHC, and CAS, whereas adhesion to GST-hLPP3-RAD failed to do so. Upon long-term adhesion both the GST-hLPP3-RGD and GST-mLpp3-RGE substrates bound to the alpha(5)beta(1) integrin of FRT-alpha(5)(+) cells, an interaction that was inhibited by an anti-alpha(5) integrin antibody. In addition, a cell aggregation assay showed that the intact mLpp3-RGE protein interacts with alpha(5)beta(1) and alpha(v)beta(3) integrins expressed by adjacent cells, an interaction that can be blocked by GRGDSP peptides and anti-LPP3-RGD antibodies. These data, together with the known importance of integrins in angiogenesis, provide a mechanism for the function of LPP3 in cell-cell interactions in both human and mouse.

Abstract
Phospholipids and sphingolipids play critical roles in signal transduction, intracellular membrane trafficking, and control of cell growth and survival. We discuss recent progress in the identification and characterization of a family of integral membrane proteins with central roles in bioactive lipid metabolism and signalling. These five groups of homologous proteins, which we collectively term LPTs (lipid phosphatases/phosphotransferases), are characterized by a core domain containing six transmembrane-spanning alpha-helices connected by extramembrane loops, two of which interact to form the catalytic site. LPT family members are localized to all major membrane compartments of the cell. The transmembrane topology of these proteins places their active site facing the lumen of endomembrane compartments or the extracellular face of the plasma membrane. Sequence conservation between the active site of the LPPs (lipid phosphate phosphatases), SPPs (sphingosine phosphate phosphatases) and the recently identified SMSs (sphingomyelin synthases) with vanadium-dependent fungal oxidases provides a framework for understanding their common catalytic mechanism. LPPs hydrolyse LPA (lysophosphatidic acid), S1P (sphingosine 1-phosphate) and structurally-related substrates. Although LPPs can dephosphorylate intracellularly generated substrates to control intracellular lipid metabolism and signalling, their best understood function is to regulate cell surface receptor-mediated signalling by LPA and S1P by inactivating these lipids at the plasma membrane or in the extracellular space. SPPs are intracellularly localized S1P-selective phosphatases, with key roles in the pathways of sphingolipid metabolism linked to control of cell growth and survival. The SMS enzymes catalyse the interconversion of phosphatidylcholine and ceramide with sphingomyelin and diacylglycerol, suggesting a pivotal role in both housekeeping lipid synthesis and regulation of bioactive lipid mediators. The remaining members of the LPT family, the LPR/PRGs (lipid phosphatase-related proteins/plasticity-related genes) and CSS2s (type 2 candidate sphingomyelin synthases), are presently much less well studied. These two groups include proteins that lack critical amino acids within the catalytic site, and could therefore not use the conserved LPT reaction mechanism to catalyse lipid phosphatase or phosphotransferase reactions. In this review, we discuss recent ideas about their possible biological activities and functions, which appear to involve regulation of cellular morphology and, possibly, lipid metabolism and signalling in the nuclear envelope.

Abstract
Cells signal through lipids that are produced by phospholipid (PL) and phosphoinositide (PIPn) metabolism involve three enzymatic processes: (i) ester and phosphodiester hydrolysis by phospholipases, (ii) monophosphate hydrolysis by phosphatases, and (iii) phosphorylation of hydroxy groups by kinases. Unregulated enzyme activity correlates with specific pathologies, which are specific targets for therapeutic intervention. A variety of reagents now permit monitoring of in vitro enzyme activity, spatiotemporal changes of intracellular lipid concentrations, and identification of lipid-protein interactions. This minireview summarizes a chemical biology approach that illustrates how chemically synthesized affinity probes can be used to characterize changes in lipid signaling in cellular and molecular biology.

Abstract
LPA (lysophosphatidic acid), a potent bioactive phospholipid, elicits diverse cellular responses through activation of the G-protein-coupled receptors LPA1-LPA4. LPA-mediated signalling is partially regulated by LPPs (lipid phosphate phosphatases; LPP-1, -2 and -3) that belong to the phosphatase superfamily. This study addresses the role of LPPs in regulating LPA-mediated cell signalling and IL-8 (interleukin-8) secretion in HBEpCs (human bronchial epithelial cells). Reverse transcription-PCR and Western blotting revealed the presence and expression of LPP-1-3 in HBEpCs. Exogenous [3H]oleoyl LPA was hydrolysed to [3H]-mono-oleoylglycerol. Infection of HBEpCs with an adenoviral construct of human LPP-1 for 48 h enhanced the dephosphorylation of exogenous LPA by 2-3-fold compared with vector controls. Furthermore, overexpression of LPP-1 partially attenuated LPA-induced increases in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, phosphorylation of IkappaB (inhibitory kappaB) and translocation of NF-kappaB (nuclear factor-kappaB) to the nucleus, and almost completely prevented IL-8 secretion. Infection of cells with an adenoviral construct of the mouse LPP-1 (R217K) mutant partially attenuated LPA-induced IL-8 secretion without altering LPA-induced changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration, phosphorylation of IkappaB, NF-kappaB activation or IL-8 gene expression. Our results identify LPP-1 as a key regulator of LPA signalling and IL-8 secretion in HBEpCs. Thus LPPs could represent potential targets in regulating leucocyte infiltration and airway inflammation.

Abstract
Lipid phosphates initiate key signaling cascades in cell activation. Lysophosphatidate (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) are produced by activated platelets. LPA is also formed from circulating lysophosphatidylcholine by autotaxin, a protein involved tumor progression and metastasis. Extracellular LPA and S1P stimulate families of G-protein coupled receptors that elicit diverse responses. LPA is involved in wound repair and tumor growth. Exogenous S1P is a potent stimulator of angiogenesis, a process vital in development, tissue repair and the growth of aggressive tumors. Inside the cell, phosphatidate (PA), ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P), LPA, and S1P act as signaling molecules with distinct functions including the stimulation of cell division, cytoskeletal rearrangement, Ca(2+) transients, and membrane movement. These observations imply that phosphatases that degrade lipid phosphates on the cell surface, or inside the cell, regulate cell signaling under physiological and pathological conditions. This occurs through attenuation of signaling by the lipid phosphates and by the production of bioactive products (diacylglycerol, ceramide, and sphingosine). Three lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs) and a splice variant dephosphorylate LPA, PA, CIP, and S1P. Two S1P phosphatases (SPPs) act specifically on S1P. In addition, there is family of four LPP-related proteins (LPRs, or plasticity-related genes, PRGs). PRG-1 expression in neurons has been reported to increase extracellular LPA breakdown and attenuate LPA-induced axonal retraction. It is unclear whether the LRPs dephosphorylate LPA directly, stimulate LPP activity, or bind LPA and S1P. Also, the importance of extra- versus intra-cellular actions of the LPPs and SPPs, and the individual roles of different isoforms is not firmly established. Understanding the functions and regulation of the LPPs, SPPs and related proteins will hopefully contribute to interventions to correct dysfunctions in conditions such as wound repair, inflammation, angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis.

Abstract
The lysophospholipids, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), regulate various signaling pathways within cells by binding to multiple G protein-coupled receptors. Receptor-mediated LPA and S1P signaling induces diverse cellular responses including proliferation, adhesion, migration, morphogenesis, differentiation and survival. This review will focus on major components of lysophospholipid signaling: metabolism, identification and expression of LPA and S1P receptors, general signaling pathways and specific signaling mechanisms in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Finally, in vivo effects of LP receptor gene deletion in mice will be discussed.

Abstract
The biological actions of the lysolipid agonists sphingosine 1-phosphate and lysophosphatidic acid, in addition to other bioactive lipid phosphates such as phosphatidic acid and ceramide 1-phosphate, can be influenced by a family of lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPP), including LPP1, LPP2, LPP3, the Drosophila homologues Wunen (Wun) and Wunen2 (Wun2) and sphingosine 1-phosphate phosphatases 1 and 2 (SPP1, SPP2). This review describes the characteristic of these enzymes and their potential physiological roles in regulating intracellular and extracellular actions and amounts of these lipids in addition to the involvement of these phosphatases in development.

Abstract
There is evidence for immune system involvement in atherogenesis. In the present study the effect of platelets on dendritic cells (DC), an important immunologic regulator, was examined in vitro. Platelet-rich plasma, after exposure to shear stress, was added to human monocyte-derived immature DC, which were then examined for surface Ag expression, allogeneic T lymphocyte stimulatory activity, and cytokine production. After exposure, the number of anti-CD40 ligand (anti-CD40L) and anti-P-selectin IgG molecules bound per platelet was increased. These activated platelets induced DC maturation, as revealed by significant up-regulation of CD83, CD80, and CD86 Ags. The addition of platelets in the presence of IFN-gamma plus LPS significantly enhanced IL-10 production from immature DC. After platelet addition, mature DC provoked a significant proliferation of allogeneic naive T lymphocytes. These activated T cells showed lower IFN-gamma production than those stimulated by LPS- and IFN-gamma-treated DC. CD40L on the platelet surface was not involved in maturation of DC, as mAb to CD40L failed to block maturation. The effect of platelets was observed even if platelets and DC were separated using large pore-sized membranes or when platelets were depleted from plasma by centrifugation. Furthermore, it was abrogated after the depletion of protein fraction. Thus, soluble protein factors excreted from activated platelets contribute to IL-10-producing DC maturation.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid mediator with a wide variety of biological actions, particularly as an inducer of cell proliferation, migration and survival. LPA binds to specific G-protein-coupled receptors and thereby activates multiple signal transduction pathways, including those initiated by the small GTPases Ras, Rho, and Rac. LPA signaling has been implicated in such diverse processes as wound healing, brain development, vascular remodeling and tumor progression. Knowledge of precisely how and where LPA is produced has long proved elusive. Excitingly, it has recently been discovered that LPA is generated from precursors by 'autotaxin', a once enigmatic exo-phosphodiesterase implicated in tumor cell motility. Exogenous phospholipases D can also produce LPA, which may contribute to their toxicity. Here we review recent progress in our understanding of LPA bioactivity, signaling and synthesis.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid and sphingosine 1-phosphate are structurally simple and physiologically very important lysophospholipids. Because they possess distinct structural backbones (glycerol and sphingosine, respectively), there are different metabolic pathways for their intracellular production. Recently, several key enzymes that produce or degrade these lysolipid phosphate mediators extracellularly have been characterized. This review focuses on the physiological and pathophysiological significances of the extracellular metabolic pathways involving recently characterized exo-type lysophospholipase D, ecto-type phospholipase A, and ecto-type lipid phosphate phosphatase.

Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae DPP1-encoded diacylglycerol pyrophosphate phosphatase is a vacuole membrane-associated enzyme that catalyzes the removal of the beta-phosphate from diacylglycerol pyrophosphate to form phosphatidate, and it then removes the phosphate from phosphatidate to form diacylglycerol. The enzyme has six putative transmembrane domains and a hydrophilic region that contains a phosphatase motif required for its catalytic activity. In this work, we examined the topography of diacylglycerol-pyrophosphate phosphatase catalytic site within the transverse plane of the vacuole membrane. Results of protease protection analysis using endoproteinase Lys-C and labeling of cysteine residues using sulfhydryl reagents were consistent with a model where the catalytic site of diacylglycerol-pyrophosphate phosphatase was oriented to the cytosolic face of the vacuole membrane. In addition, diacylglycerol-pyrophosphate phosphatase activity was found with intact vacuoles. The phospholipids diacylglycerol pyrophosphate (0.6 mol %) and phosphatidate (1.4 mol %) were found in the vacuole membrane, and their levels decreased to an undetectable level and by 79%, respectively, when cells were depleted for zinc. The reduced levels of diacylglycerol pyrophosphate and phosphatidate correlated with the induced expression of diacylglycerol-pyrophosphate phosphatase. This work suggested that diacylglycerol pyrophosphate phosphatase functions to regulate the levels of diacylglycerol pyrophosphate and phosphatidate on the cytosolic face of the vacuole membrane.
