Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8177. [PMID: 39125747 PMCID: PMC11312285 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25158177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs) evoke nociception and itch in mice and humans. In this study, we assessed the signaling paths. Hydroxychloroquine was injected intradermally to evoke itch in mice, which evoked an increase of LPAs in the skin and in the thalamus, suggesting that peripheral and central LPA receptors (LPARs) were involved in HCQ-evoked pruriception. To unravel the signaling paths, we assessed the localization of candidate genes and itching behavior in knockout models addressing LPAR5, LPAR2, autotaxin/ENPP2 and the lysophospholipid phosphatases, as well as the plasticity-related genes Prg1/LPPR4 and Prg2/LPPR3. LacZ reporter studies and RNAscope revealed LPAR5 in neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) and in skin keratinocytes, LPAR2 in cortical and thalamic neurons, and Prg1 in neuronal structures of the dorsal horn, thalamus and SSC. HCQ-evoked scratching behavior was reduced in sensory neuron-specific Advillin-LPAR5-/- mice (peripheral) but increased in LPAR2-/- and Prg1-/- mice (central), and it was not affected by deficiency of glial autotaxin (GFAP-ENPP2-/-) or Prg2 (PRG2-/-). Heat and mechanical nociception were not affected by any of the genotypes. The behavior suggested that HCQ-mediated itch involves the activation of peripheral LPAR5, which was supported by reduced itch upon treatment with an LPAR5 antagonist and autotaxin inhibitor. Further, HCQ-evoked calcium fluxes were reduced in primary sensory neurons of Advillin-LPAR5-/- mice. The results suggest that LPA-mediated itch is primarily mediated via peripheral LPAR5, suggesting that a topical LPAR5 blocker might suppress "non-histaminergic" itch.

Abstract
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) contribute to numerous physiological processes via complex network mechanisms. While indirect signaling assays (Ca2+ mobilization, cAMP production, and GTPγS binding) have been useful in identifying and characterizing downstream signaling mechanisms of GPCRs, these methods lack measurements of direct binding affinities, kinetics, binding specificity, and selectivity that are important parameters in GPCR drug discovery. In comparison to existing direct methods that use radio- or fluorescent labels, label-free techniques can closely emulate the native interactions around binding partners. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a label-free technique that utilizes the refractive index (RI) property and is applied widely in quantitative GPCR-ligand binding kinetics measurement including small molecules screening. However, purified GPCRs are further embedded in a synthetic lipid environment which is immobilized through different tags to the SPR sensor surface, resulting in a non-native environment. Here, we introduced a methodology that also uses the RI property to measure binding interactions in a label-free, immobilization-free arrangement. The free-solution technique is successfully applied in quantifying the interaction of bioactive lipids to cognate lipid GPCRs, which is not purified but rather present in near-native conditions, i.e., in milieu of other cytoplasmic lipids and proteins. To further consider the wide applicability of these free-solution approaches in biomolecular interaction research, additional applications on a variety of receptor-ligand pairs are imperative.

Exosome-associated lysophosphatidic acid signaling contributes to cancer pain. Pain 2023; 164:2684-2695.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Pain associated with bone cancer remains poorly managed, and chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat cancer usually increase pain. The discovery of dual-acting drugs that reduce cancer and produce analgesia is an optimal approach. The mechanisms underlying bone cancer pain involve interactions between cancer cells and nociceptive neurons. We demonstrated that fibrosarcoma cells express high levels of autotaxin (ATX), the enzyme synthetizing lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Lysophosphatidic acid increased proliferation of fibrosarcoma cells in vitro. Lysophosphatidic acid is also a pain-signaling molecule, which activates LPA receptors (LPARs) located on nociceptive neurons and satellite cells in dorsal root ganglia. We therefore investigated the contribution of the ATX-LPA-LPAR signaling to pain in a mouse model of bone cancer pain in which fibrosarcoma cells are implanted into and around the calcaneus bone, resulting in tumor growth and hypersensitivity. LPA was elevated in serum of tumor-bearing mice, and blockade of ATX or LPAR reduced tumor-evoked hypersensitivity. Because cancer cell-secreted exosomes contribute to hypersensitivity and ATX is bound to exosomes, we determined the role of exosome-associated ATX-LPA-LPAR signaling in hypersensitivity produced by cancer exosomes. Intraplantar injection of cancer exosomes into naive mice produced hypersensitivity by sensitizing C-fiber nociceptors. Inhibition of ATX or blockade of LPAR attenuated cancer exosome-evoked hypersensitivity in an ATX-LPA-LPAR-dependent manner. Parallel in vitro studies revealed the involvement of ATX-LPA-LPAR signaling in direct sensitization of dorsal root ganglion neurons by cancer exosomes. Thus, our study identified a cancer exosome-mediated pathway, which may represent a therapeutic target for treating tumor growth and pain in patients with bone cancer.

Autotaxin-lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5 axis evokes endothelial dysfunction via reactive oxygen species signaling. Exp Biol Med (Maywood) 2023; 248:1887-1894.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is a bioactive lipid that has been shown to attenuate endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation contributing to endothelial dysfunction; however, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of LPC-evoked impairment of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. In aortic rings isolated from wild-type (WT) mice, a 20-min exposure to LPC significantly reduced the acetylcholine chloride (ACh)-induced vasorelaxation indicating the impairment of normal endothelial function. Interestingly, pharmacological inhibition of autotaxin (ATX) by GLPG1690 partially reversed the endothelial dysfunction, suggesting that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) derived from LPC may be involved in the effect. Therefore, the effect of LPC was also tested in aortic rings isolated from different LPA receptor knock-out (KO) mice. LPC evoked a marked reduction in ACh-dependent vasorelaxation in Lpar1, Lpar2, and Lpar4 KO, but its effect was significantly attenuated in Lpar5 KO vessels. Furthermore, addition of superoxide dismutase reduced the LPC-induced endothelial dysfunction in WT but not in the Lpar5 KO mice. In addition, LPC increased H2O2 release from WT vessels, which was significantly reduced in Lpar5 KO vessels. Our findings indicate that the ATX-LPA-LPA5 receptor axis is involved in the development of LPC-induced impairment of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation via LPA5 receptor-mediated reactive oxygen species production. Taken together, in this study, we identified a new pathway contributing to the development of LPC-induced endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive phospholipid that regulates physiological and pathological processes in numerous cell biological functions, including cell migration, apoptosis, and proliferation. Macrophages are found in most human tissues and have multiple physiological and pathological functions. There is growing evidence that LPA signaling plays a significant role in the physiological function of macrophages and accelerates the development of diseases caused by macrophage dysfunction and inflammation, such as inflammation-related diseases, cancer, atherosclerosis, and fibrosis. In this review, we summarize the roles of LPA in macrophages, analyze numerous macrophage- and inflammation-associated diseases triggered by LPA, and discuss LPA-targeting therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a simple phospholipid consisting of a phosphate group, glycerol moiety, and only one hydrocarbon chain. Despite its simple chemical structure, LPA plays an important role as an essential bioactive signaling molecule via its specific six G protein-coupled receptors, LPA1-6. Recent studies, especially those using genetic tools, have revealed diverse physiological and pathological roles of LPA and LPA receptors in almost every organ system. Furthermore, many studies are illuminating detailed mechanisms to orchestrate multiple LPA receptor signaling pathways and to facilitate their coordinated function. Importantly, these extensive "bench" works are now translated into the "bedside" as exemplified by approaches targeting LPA1 signaling to combat fibrotic diseases. In this review, we discuss the physiological and pathological roles of LPA signaling and their implications for clinical application by focusing on findings revealed by in vivo studies utilizing genetic tools targeting LPA receptors.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid mediator that regulates a variety of cellular functions such as cell proliferation, migration, survival, calcium mobilization, cytoskeletal rearrangements, and neurite retraction. The biological actions of LPA are mediated by at least six G protein-coupled receptors known as LPAR1-6. Given that LPAR1-3 were among the first LPARs identified, the majority of research efforts have focused on understanding their biology. This review provides an in-depth discussion of LPAR5, which has recently emerged as a key player in regulating normal intestinal homeostasis and modulating pathological conditions such as pain, itch, inflammatory diseases, and cancer. We also present a chronological overview of the efforts made to develop compounds that target LPAR5 for use as tool compounds to probe or validate LPAR5 biology and therapeutic agents for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Abstract
Blockade of lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5 (LPA5) by a recently reported antagonist AS2717638 (2) attenuated inflammatory and neuropathic pains, although it showed moderate in vivo efficacy and its structure-activity relationships and the ADME properties are little studied. We therefore designed and synthesized a series of isoquinolone derivatives and evaluated their potency in LPA5 calcium mobilization and cAMP assays. Our results show that substituted phenyl groups or bicyclic aromatic rings such as benzothiophenes or benzofurans are tolerated at the 2-position, 4-substituted piperidines are favored at the 4-position, and methoxy groups at the 6- and 7-positions are essential for activity. Compounds 65 and 66 showed comparable in vitro potency, excellent selectivity against LPA1-LPA4 and >50 other GPCRs, moderate metabolic stability, and high aqueous solubility and brain permeability. Both 65 and 66 significantly attenuated nociceptive hypersensitivity at lower doses than 2 and had longer-lasting effects in an inflammatory pain model, and 66 also dose-dependently reduced mechanical allodynia in the chronic constriction injury model and opioid-induced hyperalgesia at doses that had no effect on the locomotion in rats. These results suggest that these isoquinolone derivatives as LPA5 antagonists are of promise as potential analgesics.

Abstract
Introduction The G-protein coupled receptor LPAR5 plays a prominent role in LPA-mediated pain and itch signaling. In this study we focus on the LPAR5-antagonist compound 3 (cpd3) and its ability to affect pain and itch signaling, both in vitro and in vivo. Methods Nociceptive behavior in wild type mice was induced by formalin, carrageenan or prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) injection in the hind paw, and the effect of oral cpd3 administration was measured. Scratch activity was measured after oral administration of cpd3, in mice overexpressing phospholipase A2 (sPLA2tg), in wild type mice (WT) and in TRPA1-deficient mice (Trpa1 KO). In vitro effects of cpd3 were assessed by measuring intracellular calcium release in HMC-1 and HEK-TRPA1 cells. Results As expected, nociceptive behavior (induced by formalin, carrageenan or PGE2) was reduced after treatment with cpd3. Unexpectedly, cpd3 induced scratch activity in mice. In vitro addition of cpd3 to HEK-TRPA1 cells induced an intracellular calcium wave that could be inhibited by the TRPA1-antagonist A-967079. In Trpa1 KO mice, however, the increase in scratch activity after cpd3 administration was not reduced. Conclusions Cpd3 has in vivo antinociceptive effects but induces scratch activity in mice, probably by activation of multiple pruriceptors, including TRPA1. These results urge screening of antinociceptive candidate drugs for activity with pruriceptors.

Abstract
Renewal of the intestinal epithelium is orchestrated by regenerative epithelial proliferation within crypts. Recent studies have shown that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) can maintain intestinal epithelial renewal in vitro and conditional deletion of Lpar5 (Lpar5iKO) in mice ablates the intestinal epithelium and increases morbidity. In contrast, constitutive Lpar5 deletion (Lpar5cKO) does not cause a defect in intestinal crypt regeneration. In this study, we investigated whether another LPA receptor (LPAR) compensates for constitutive loss of LPA5 function to allow regeneration of intestinal epithelium. In Lpar5cKO intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), Lpar2 was upregulated and blocking LPA2 function reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis of Lpar5cKO IECs. Similar to Lpar5cKO mice, the absence of Lpar2 (Lpar2-/-) resulted in upregulation of Lpar5 in IECs, indicating that LPA2 and LPA5 reciprocally compensate for the loss of each other. Blocking LPA2 in Lpar5cKO enteroids reduced phosphorylation of Akt, indicating that LPA2 maintains the growth of Lpar5cKO enteroids through activation of the PI3K-Akt pathway. The present study provides evidence that loss of an LPAR can be compensated by another LPAR. This ability to compensate needs to be considered in studies aimed to define receptor functions or test the efficacy of a LPAR-targeting drug using genetically engineered animal models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Regeneration of the epithelium by stem cells in the intestine is supported by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive lipid mediator, regulates many cellular functions, including cell proliferation, survival, and cytokine secretion. Here, we identify LPA5 receptor as a potent regulator of the survival of stem cells and transit-amplifying cells in the intestine. METHODS We have used genetic mouse models of conditional deletion of Lpar5, Lpar5f/f;Rosa-CreERT (Lpar5KO), and intestinal epithelial cell-specific Lpar5f/f;AhCre (Lpar5IECKO) mice. Mice were treated with tamoxifen or β-naphthoflavone to delete Lpar5 expression. Enteroids derived from these mice were used to determine the effect of Lpar5 loss on the apoptosis and proliferation of crypt epithelial cells. RESULTS Conditional loss of Lpar5 induced ablation of the intestinal mucosa, which increased morbidity of Lpar5KO mice. Epithelial regeneration was compromised with increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation of crypt epithelial cells by Lpar5 loss. Interestingly, intestinal epithelial cell-specific Lpar5 loss did not cause similar phenotypic defects in vivo. Lpar5 loss reduced intestinal stem cell marker gene expression and reduced lineage tracing from Lgr5+ ISCs. Lpar5 loss induced CXCL10 expression which exerts cytotoxic effects on intestinal stem cells and progenitors in the intestinal crypts. By co-culturing Lpar5KO enteroids with wild-type or Lpar5KO splenocytes, we demonstrated that lymphocytes protect the intestinal crypts via a LPA5-dependent suppression of CXCL10. CONCLUSIONS LPA5 is essential for the regeneration of intestinal epithelium. Our findings reveal a new finding that LPA5 regulates survival of stem cells and transit-amplifying cells in the intestine.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation induces alterations in the finely tuned micromilieu of the brain that is continuously monitored by microglia. In the CNS, these changes include increased synthesis of the bioactive lipid lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a ligand for the six members of the LPA receptor family (LPA1-6). In mouse and human microglia, LPA5 belongs to a set of receptors that cooperatively detect danger signals in the brain. Engagement of LPA5 by LPA polarizes microglia toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype. Therefore, we studied the consequences of global LPA5 knockout (-/-) on neuroinflammatory parameters in a mouse endotoxemia model and in primary microglia exposed to LPA in vitro. A single endotoxin injection (5 mg/kg body weight) resulted in lower circulating concentrations of TNFα and IL-1β and significantly reduced gene expression of IL-6 and CXCL2 in the brain of LPS-injected LPA5-/- mice. LPA5 deficiency improved sickness behavior and energy deficits produced by low-dose (1.4 mg LPS/kg body weight) chronic LPS treatment. LPA5-/- microglia secreted lower concentrations of pro-inflammatory cyto-/chemokines in response to LPA and showed higher maximal mitochondrial respiration under basal and LPA-activated conditions, further accompanied by lower lactate release, decreased NADPH and GSH synthesis, and inhibited NO production. Collectively, our data suggest that LPA5 promotes neuroinflammation by transmiting pro-inflammatory signals during endotoxemia through microglial activation induced by LPA.

Abstract
Inflammatory and neuropathic-like components underlie rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated pain, and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is linked to both joint inflammation in RA patients and to neuropathic pain. Thus, we investigated a role for LPA signalling using the collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) model. Pain-like behavior during the inflammatory phase and the late, neuropathic-like phase of CAIA was reversed by a neutralizing antibody generated against LPA and by an LPA1/3 receptor inhibitor, but joint inflammation was not affected. Autotaxin, an LPA synthesizing enzyme was upregulated in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons during both CAIA phases, but not in joints or spinal cord. Late-phase pronociceptive neurochemical changes in the DRG were blocked in Lpar1 receptor deficient mice and reversed by LPA neutralization. In vitro and in vivo studies indicated that LPA regulates pain-like behavior via the LPA1 receptor on satellite glia cells (SGCs), which is expressed by both human and mouse SGCs in the DRG. Furthermore, CAIA-induced SGC activity is reversed by phospholipid neutralization and blocked in Lpar1 deficient mice. Our findings suggest that the regulation of CAIA-induced pain-like behavior by LPA signalling is a peripheral event, associated with the DRGs and involving increased pronociceptive activity of SGCs, which in turn act on sensory neurons.

Abstract
Several studies have shown a link between immunity, inflammatory processes, and epilepsy. Active neuroinflammation and marked immune cell infiltration occur in epilepsy of diverse etiologies. Microglia, as the first line of defense in the central nervous system, are the main effectors of neuroinflammatory processes. Discovery of new biomarkers associated with microglia activation after epileptogenesis indicates that targeting specific molecules may help control seizures. In this research, we used a combination of several bioinformatics approaches, including RNA sequencing, to explore differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in epileptic lesions and control samples, and to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network for DEGs, which was examined utilizing plug-ins in Cytoscape software. Finally, we aimed to identify 10 hub genes in immune and inflammation-related sub-networks, which were subsequently validated in real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis in a mouse model of kainic acid-induced epilepsy. The expression patterns of nine genes were consistent with sequencing outcomes. Meanwhile, several genes, including CX3CR1, CX3CL1, GPR183, FPR1, P2RY13, P2RY12 and LPAR5, were associated with microglial activation and migration, providing novel candidate targets for immunotherapy in epilepsy and laying the foundation for further research.

Abstract
The search for cannabinoid receptors other than CB1R and CB2R has been ongoing for over a decade. A number of orphan receptors have been proposed as potential cannabinoid receptors primarily based on phylogenic arguments and reactivity towards known endocannabinoids and phytocannabinoids. Seven putative cannabinoid receptors are described and discussed, and evidence for and against their inclusion in this category are presented.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lysophospholipid that acts as an extracellular signal through the activation of cognate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). There are six known LPA receptors (LPA1-6). The first such receptor, LPA1, was identified in the embryonic brain and has been studied extensively for gene expression throughout the body, including through studies of receptor-null mice. However, identifying receptor protein expression in situ and in vivo within living cells and tissues has been difficult because of biologically low receptor expression and variable antibody specificity. To visualize native LPA1 receptor expression in situ, we generated a knock-in mouse produced by homologous recombination in murine embryonic stem (ES) cells to replace a wildtype Lpar1 allele with a mutant allele created by in-frame fusion of EGFP to the 4th exon of Lpar1 (Lpar1-EGFP knock-in allele). Homozygous knock-in mice appeared normal and the expected mendelian ratios of knock-in allele transmission were present in females and males. Histological assessments of the fetal and adult central nervous system (CNS) demonstrated expression patterns that were consistent with prior in situ hybridization studies. This new mouse line will be useful for studies of LPA1 in the developing and adult CNS, as well as other tissues, and for receptor assessments in living tissues and disease models.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that systemic inflammation triggers a neuroinflammatory response that involves sustained microglia activation. This response has deleterious consequences on memory and learning capability in experimental animal models and in patients. However, the mechanisms connecting systemic inflammation and microglia activation remain poorly understood. Here, we identify the autotaxin (ATX)/lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)/LPA-receptor axis as a potential pharmacological target to modulate the LPS-mediated neuroinflammatory response in vitro (the murine BV-2 microglia cell line) and in vivo (C57BL/6J mice receiving a single i.p. LPS injection). In LPS-stimulated (20 ng/mL) BV-2 cells, we observed increased phosphorylation of transcription factors (STAT1, p65, and c-Jun) that are known to induce a proinflammatory microglia phenotype. LPS upregulated ATX, TLR4, and COX2 expression, amplified NO production, increased neurotoxicity of microglia conditioned medium, and augmented cyto-/chemokine concentrations in the cellular supernatants. PF8380 (a type I ATX inhibitor, used at 10 and 1 µM) and AS2717638 (an LPA5 antagonist, used at 1 and 0.1 µM) attenuated these proinflammatory responses, at non-toxic concentrations, in BV-2 cells. In vivo, we demonstrate accumulation of PF8380 in the mouse brain and an accompanying decrease in LPA concentrations. In vivo, co-injection of LPS (5 mg/kg body weight) and PF8380 (30 mg/kg body weight), or LPS/AS2717638 (10 mg/kg body weight), significantly attenuated LPS-induced iNOS, TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, and CXCL2 mRNA expression in the mouse brain. On the protein level, PF8380 and AS2717638 significantly reduced TLR4, Iba1, GFAP and COX2 expression, as compared to LPS-only injected animals. In terms of the communication between systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation, both inhibitors significantly attenuated LPS-mediated systemic TNFα and IL-6 synthesis, while IL-1β was only reduced by PF8380. Inhibition of ATX and LPA5 may thus provide an opportunity to protect the brain from the toxic effects that are provoked by systemic endotoxemia.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling plays diverse roles in the development of various vertebrates such as mammals and fish. The lamprey is a fish that retains ancestral features of vertebrates, but information regarding lamprey LPA receptor genes is limited. Here, using information from the lamprey genome database, we cloned two LPA receptor genes, Lpar1 and Lpar5, from the Japanese lamprey (Lethenteron camtschaticum). Lamprey Lpar1 had a high amino acid identity to mouse and medaka fish Lpar1, whereas Lpar5 amino acid sequences were more diverse between species. Our functional analyses using a heterologous expression system demonstrated that Lpar1 and Lpar5 responded to LPA treatment with G12/13-associated cellular responses, which are indicative of cytoskeletal actions. The existence of functional LPA receptors in the Japanese lamprey suggests that LPA receptor-dependent signals contribute to lamprey growth and development.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a pleiotropic extracellular lipid mediator with many physiological functions that signal through six known G protein-coupled receptors (LPA1-6). In the central nervous system (CNS), LPA mediates a wide range of effects including neural progenitor cell physiology, neuronal cell death, axonal retraction, and inflammation. Since inflammation is a hallmark of most neurological conditions, we hypothesized that LPA could be involved in the physiopathology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We found that LPA2 RNA was upregulated in post-mortem spinal cord samples of ALS patients and in the sciatic nerve and skeletal muscle of SOD1G93A mouse, the most widely used ALS mouse model. To assess the contribution of LPA2 to ALS, we generated a SOD1G93A mouse that was deficient in Lpar2. This animal revealed that LPA2 signaling accelerates disease onset and neurological decline but, unexpectedly, extended the lifespan. To gain insights into the early harmful actions of LPA2 in ALS, we studied the effects of this receptor in the spinal cord, peripheral nerve, and skeletal muscle of ALS mice. We found that LPA2 gene deletion increased microglial activation but did not contribute to motoneuron death, astrogliosis, degeneration, and demyelination of motor axons. However, we observed that Lpar2 deficiency protected against muscle atrophy. Moreover, we also found the deletion of Lpar2 reduced the invasion of macrophages into the skeletal muscle of SOD1G93A mice, linking LPA2 signaling with muscle inflammation and atrophy in ALS. Overall, these results suggest for the first time that LPA2 contributes to ALS, and its genetic deletion results in protective actions at the early stages of the disease but shortens survival thereafter.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5 (LPA5) has been recently identified as a novel pathogenic factor for brain ischemic stroke. However, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we determined whether the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) could be involved in LPA5-mediated brain injuries after ischemic challenge using a mouse model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). RAGE was upregulated in the penumbra and ischemic core regions after tMCAO challenge. RAGE upregulation was greater at 3 days than that at 1 day after tMCAO challenge. It was mostly observed in Iba1-immunopositive cells of a post-ischemic brain. Suppressing LPA5 activity with its antagonist, TCLPA5, attenuated RAGE upregulation in the penumbra and ischemic core regions, particularly on Iba1-immunopositive cells, of injured brains after tMCAO challenge. It also attenuated blood–brain barrier disruption, one of the core pathogenesis upon RAGE activation, after tMCAO challenge. As an underlying signaling pathways, LPA5 could contribute to the activation of ERK1/2 and NF-κB in injured brains after tMCAO challenge. Collectively, the current study suggests that RAGE is a possible mediator for LPA5-dependent ischemic brain injury.

Pathogenic mechanisms of lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid in chronic pain. Prog Lipid Res 2020; 81:101079.

Abstract
A number of membrane lipid-derived mediators play pivotal roles in the initiation, maintenance, and regulation of various types of acute and chronic pain. Acute pain, comprising nociceptive and inflammatory pain warns us about the presence of damage or harmful stimuli. However, it can be efficiently reversed by opioid analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Prostaglandin E2 and I2, the representative lipid mediators, are well-known causes of acute pain. However, some lipid mediators such as lipoxins, resolvins or endocannabinoids suppress acute pain. Various types of peripheral and central neuropathic pain (NeuP) as well as fibromyalgia (FM) are representatives of chronic pain and refractory owing to abnormal pain processing distinct from acute pain. Accumulating evidence demonstrated that lipid mediators represented by lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are involved in the initiation and maintenance of both NeuP and FM in experimental animal models. The LPAR1-mediated peripheral mechanisms including dorsal root demyelination, Cavα2δ1 expression in dorsal root ganglion, and LPAR3-mediated amplification of central LPA production via glial cells are involved in the series of molecular mechanisms underlying NeuP. This review also discusses the involvement of lipid mediators in emerging research directives, including itch-sensing, sexual dimorphism, and the peripheral immune system.

Abstract
One class of molecules that are now coming to be recognized as essential for our understanding of the nervous system are the lysophospholipids. One of the major signaling lysophospholipids is lysophosphatidic acid, also known as LPA. LPA activates a variety of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) leading to a multitude of physiological responses. In this review, I describe our current understanding of the role of LPA and LPA receptor signaling in the development and function of the nervous system, especially the central nervous system (CNS). In addition, I highlight how aberrant LPA receptor signaling may underlie neuropathological conditions, with important clinical application.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) through six subtypes of G protein-coupled LPA receptors (LPA1 to LPA6) mediates a variety of cancer cell functions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cooperative effects of G12/13 and Gi proteins through LPA2 on cancer cell survival to cisplatin (CDDP). In cell survival assay, cells were treated with CDDP every 24 h for 2 days. The long-term CDDP treated (HT-CDDP) cells established from fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells were pretreated with an LPA2 agonist, GRI-977143. The cell survival rate to CDDP of HT-CDDP cells was significantly increased by GRI-977143. The elevated cell survival to CDDP was suppressed by LPA2 knockdown. Since G12/13 protein stimulates Rho-mediated signaling, RhoA and RhoC knockdown cells were generated from HT1080 cells (HT1080-RhoA and HT1080-RhoC cells, respectively). In the presence of GRI-977143, HT1080-RhoA and HT1080-RhoC cells showed the low cell survival rates to CDDP. On the other hand, Gi protein inhibits adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity. Before cell survival assay, cells were treated with a Gi protein inhibitor, pertussis toxin (PTX) for 24 h. The cell survival rate to CDDP of HT1080 cells was significantly reduced by PTX. Furthermore, when HT1080-RhoA and HT1080-RhoC cells were pretreated with PTX, the cell survival rates to CDDP of both cells were markedly inhibited by PTX. The present results suggest that cooperation of G12/13 and Gi proteins activated by LPA2 enhances the cell survival of HT1080 cells treated with CDDP.

Abstract
LPA1 is one of six known receptors (LPA1-6) for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Constitutive Lpar1 null mutant mice have been instrumental in identifying roles for LPA-LPA1 signaling in neurobiological processes, brain development, and behavior, as well as modeling human neurological diseases like neuropathic pain. Constitutive Lpar1 null mutant mice are protected from partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL)-induced neuropathic pain, however, the cell types that are functionally responsible for mediating this protective effect are unknown. Here, we report the generation of an Lpar1flox/flox conditional null mutant mouse that allows for cre-mediated conditional deletion, combined with a PSNL pain model. Lpar1flox/flox mice were crossed with cre transgenic lines driven by neural gene promoters for nestin (all neural cells), synapsin (neurons), or P0 (Schwann cells). CD11b-cre transgenic mice were also used to delete Lpar1 in microglia. PSNL-initiated pain responses were reduced following cre-mediated Lpar1 deletion with all three neural promoters as well as the CD11b promoter, supporting involvement of Schwann cells, central and/or peripheral neurons, and microglia in mediating pain. Interestingly, rescue responses were nonidentical, implicating distinct roles for Lpar1-expressing cell types. Our results with a new Lpar1 conditional mouse mutant expand an understanding of LPA1 signaling in the PSNL model of neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Introduction: Neuropathic pain disorders are diverse, and the currently available therapies are ineffective in the majority of cases. Therefore, there is a major need for gaining novel mechanistic insights and developing new treatment strategies for neuropathic pain. Areas covered: We performed an in-depth literature search on the molecular mechanisms and systemic importance of the ceramide-to-S1P rheostat regulating neuron function and neuroimmune interactions in the development of neuropathic pain. Expert opinion: The S1P receptor modulator FTY720 (fingolimod, Gilenya®), LPA receptor antagonists and several mechanistically related compounds in clinical development raise great expectations for treating neuropathic pain disorders. Research on S1P receptors, S1P receptor modulators or SPHK inhibitors with distinct selectivity, pharmacokinetics and safety must provide more mechanistic insight into whether they may qualify as useful treatment options for neuropathic pain disorders. The functional relevance of genetic variations within the ceramide-to-S1P rheostat should be explored for an enhanced understanding of neuropathic pain pathogenesis. The ceramide-to-S1P rheostat is emerging as a critically important regulator hub of neuroimmune interactions along the pain pathway, and improved mechanistic insight is required to develop more precise and effective drug treatment options for patients suffering from neuropathic pain disorders.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders, namely Parkinson’s disease (PD), Huntington’s disease (HD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and multiple sclerosis (MS), are increasingly major health concerns due to the increasingly aged population worldwide. These conditions often share the same underlying pathological mechanisms, including elevated oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and the aggregation of proteins. Several studies have highlighted the potential to diminish the clinical outcomes of these disorders via the administration of herbal compounds, among which gintonin, a derivative of ginseng, has shown promising results. Gintonin is a noncarbohydrate/saponin that has been characterized as a lysophosphatidic acid receptor (LPA Receptor) ligand. Gintonin may cause a significant elevation in calcium levels [Ca2+]i intracellularly, which promotes calcium-mediated cellular effects via the modulation of ion channels and cell surface receptors, regulating the inflammatory effects. Years of research have suggested that gintonin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects against different models of neurodegeneration, and these effects may be employed to tackle the neurological changes. Therefore, we collected the main scientific findings and comprehensively presented them, covering preparation, absorption, and receptor-mediated functions, including effects against Alzheimer’s disease models, Parkinson’s disease models, anxiety and depression-like models, and other neurological disorders, aiming to provide some insights for the possible usage of gintonin in the management of neurodegenerative conditions.

Abstract
Receptor-mediated lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling has come to be considered an important event for various diseases. In cerebral ischemia, LPA1 has recently been identified as a receptor subtype that mediates brain injury, but the roles of other LPA receptor subtypes remain unknown. Here, we investigated the potential role of LPA5 as a novel pathogenic factor for cerebral ischemia using a mouse model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). LPA5 was upregulated in the ischemic core region after tMCAO challenge, particularly in activated microglia. When TCLPA5, a selective LPA5 antagonist, was given to tMCAO-challenged mice immediately after reperfusion, brain damage, including brain infarction, functional neurological deficit, and neuronal and non-neuronal apoptosis, was reduced in mice. Similarly, delayed TCLPA5 administration (at three hours after reperfusion) reduced brain infarction and neurological deficit. The histological results demonstrated that TCLPA5 administration attenuated microglial activation, as evidenced by the decreased Iba1 immunoreactivities, the number of amoeboid cells, and proliferation in an injured brain. TCLPA5 administration also attenuated the upregulation of the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines at mRNA levels in post-ischemic brain, which was also observed in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BV2 microglia upon LPA5 knockdown. Overall, this study identifies LPA5 as a novel pathogenic factor for cerebral ischemia, further implicating it as a promising target for drug development to treat this disease.

Abstract
Fingolimod (FTY720, Gilenya) was the first US Food and Drug Administration-approved oral therapy for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Research on modified fungal metabolites converged with basic science studies that had identified lysophospholipid (LP) sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors, providing mechanistic insights on fingolimod while validating LP receptors as drug targets. Mechanism of action (MOA) studies identified receptor-mediated processes involving the immune system and the central nervous system (CNS). These dual actions represent a more general theme for S1P and likely other LP receptor modulators. Fingolimod's direct CNS activities likely contribute to its efficacy in MS, with particular relevance to treating progressive disease stages and forms that involve neurodegeneration. The evolving understanding of fingolimod's MOA has provided strategies for developing next-generation compounds with superior attributes, suggesting new ways to target S1P as well as other LP receptor modulators for novel therapeutics in the CNS and other organ systems.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling through LPA receptors (LPA1 to LPA6) regulates a variety of malignant properties in cancer cells. Recently, we show that LPA2 expression is elevated by long-term cisplatin (CDDP) treatment in melanoma A375 cells. In the present study, we investigated whether LPA2-mediated signaling is involved in the modulation of chemoresistance in A375 cells. In cell survival assay, cells were treated with CDDP and dacarbazine (DTIC) every 24 h for 2 days. The cell survival rates to CDDP and DTIC were markedly increased by an LPA2 agonist, GRI-977143. To validate the effects of LPA2 on cell survival, LPA2 knockdown cells were generated from A375 cells. The cell survival rates elevated by GRI-977143 were suppressed by LPA2 knockdown. To evaluate the roles of LPA2-mediated signaling in cell survival, cells were pretreated with a Gi protein inhibitor, pertussis toxin (PTX). In the presence of GRI-977143, the cell survival rates to CDDP and DTIC were significantly lower in PTX-treated cells than in untreated cells. In addition, pretreatment of an adenylyl cyclase inhibitor, SQ22536, increased the cell survival of A375 cells treated with CDDP and DTIC. These results suggest that LPA2-mediated signaling plays an important role in the enhancement of chemoresistance of A375 cells treated with anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Lysophospholipids (LPLs) are bioactive signaling lipids that are generated from phospholipase-mediated hydrolyzation of membrane phospholipids (PLs) and sphingolipids (SLs). Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) are two of the best-characterized LPLs which mediate a variety of cellular physiological responses via specific G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) mediated signaling pathways. Considerable evidence now demonstrates the crucial role of LPA and S1P in neurodegenerative diseases, especially in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Dysfunction of LPA and S1P metabolism can lead to aberrant accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides, the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), neuroinflammation and ultimately neuronal death. Summarizing LPA and S1P signaling profile may aid in profound health and pathological processes. In the current review, we will introduce the metabolism as well as the physiological roles of LPA and S1P in maintaining the normal functions of the nervous system. Given these pivotal functions, we will further discuss the role of dysregulation of LPA and S1P in promoting AD pathogenesis.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (lysoPtdOH) levels have previously been reported to decrease in rodents with short-term fasting. We investigated whether a 16 h fast would change expression of autotaxin, the predominant phospholipase D responsible for adipose-derived lysoPtdOH synthesis, or any of the lysophosphatidic acid receptors (1-6) in four white adipose tissue (WAT) depots and interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) in male C57Bl/6J mice fed ad libitum, or fasted for 16 h. Aside from small inductions of Lpar1 in epididymal WAT and Lpar2 in epididymal and inguinal WAT, no significant changes were observed in expression of the Lpar family members, or autotaxin in perirenal, retroperitoneal, epididymal, or inguinal WAT or BAT with fasting. Comparison of the relative expression of Lpar1-6 in various depots showed that Lpar6 was the predominant Lpar in both WAT and BAT, and suggests that further work on the adipose-specific role of Lpar6 is warranted.

Abstract
Since the first discovery that the bioactive lipid, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and LPA1 receptor signaling play a role in the initiation of neuropathic pain (NeuP), accumulated reports have supported the original findings and extended the study toward possible therapeutic applications. The present review describes beneficial roles of LPA receptor signaling in a variety of chronic pain, such as peripheral NeuP induced by nerve injury, chemotherapy and diabetes, central NeuP induced by cerebral ischemia with hemorrhage and spinal cord injury, and fibromyalgia-like wide spread pain induced by repeated cold, psychological and muscular acidic stress. Emerging mechanistic findings are the feed-forward amplification of LPA production through LPA1, LPA3 and microglia and the evidence for maintenance of chronic pain by LPA receptor signaling.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain (NP) is a complex chronic pain state with a prevalence of almost 10% in the general population. Pharmacological options for NP are limited and weakly effective, so there is a need to develop more efficacious NP attenuating drugs. Activation of the type 1 lysophosphatidic acid (LPA1) receptor is a crucial factor in the initiation of NP. Hence, it is conceivable that a functional antagonism strategy could lead to NP mitigation. Here we describe a new series of LPA1 agonists among which derivative (S)-17 (UCM-05194) stands out as the most potent and selective LPA1 receptor agonist described so far (Emax = 118%, EC50 = 0.24 μM, KD = 19.6 nM; inactive at autotaxin and LPA2-6 receptors). This compound induces characteristic LPA1-mediated cellular effects and prompts the internalization of the receptor leading to its functional inactivation in primary sensory neurons and to an efficacious attenuation of the pain perception in an in vivo model of NP.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) species in the extracellular environment induce downstream signaling via six different G protein-coupled receptors (LPAR1–6). These signaling cascades are essential for normal brain development and function of the nervous system. However, in response to acute or chronic central nervous system (CNS) damage, LPA levels increase and aberrant signaling events can counteract brain function. Under neuro-inflammatory conditions signaling along the LPA/LPAR5 axis induces a potentially neurotoxic microglia phenotype indicating the need for new pharmacological intervention strategies. Therefore, we compared the effects of two novel small-molecule LPAR5 antagonists on LPA-induced polarization parameters of the BV-2 microglia cell line. AS2717638 is a selective piperidine-based LPAR5 antagonist (IC50 0.038 μM) while compound 3 is a diphenylpyrazole derivative with an IC50 concentration of 0.7 μM in BV-2 cells. Both antagonists compromised cell viability, however, at concentrations above their IC50 concentrations. Both inhibitors blunted LPA-induced phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3, p65, and c-Jun and consequently reduced the secretion of pro-inflammatory cyto-/chemokines (IL-6, TNFα, IL-1β, CXCL10, CXCL2, and CCL5) at non-toxic concentrations. Both compounds modulated the expression of intracellular (COX-2 and Arg1) and plasma membrane-located (CD40, CD86, and CD206) polarization markers yet only AS2717638 attenuated the neurotoxic potential of LPA-activated BV-2 cell-conditioned medium towards CATH.a neurons. Our findings from the present in vitro study suggest that the two LPAR5 antagonists represent valuable pharmacological tools to interfere with LPA-induced pro-inflammatory signaling cascades in microglia.

Abstract
Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) in premature infants is a common neurological disorder treated with invasive neurosurgical interventions. Patients with PHH lack effective therapeutic interventions and suffer chronic comorbidities. Here, we report a murine lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-induced postnatal PHH model that maps neurodevelopmentally to premature infants, a clinically accessible high-risk population, and demonstrates ventriculomegaly with increased intracranial pressure. Administration of LPA, a blood-borne signaling lipid, acutely disrupted the ependymal cells that generate CSF flow, which was followed by cell death, phagocytosis, and ventricular surface denudation. This mechanism is distinct from a previously reported fetal model that induces PHH through developmental alterations. Analyses of LPA receptor-null mice identified LPA1 and LPA3 as key mediators of PHH. Pharmacological blockade of LPA1 prevented PHH in LPA-injected animals, supporting the medical tractability of LPA receptor antagonists in preventing PHH and negative CNS sequelae in premature infants.

Gintonin, a ginseng-derived ingredient, as a novel therapeutic strategy for Huntington's disease: Activation of the Nrf2 pathway through lysophosphatidic acid receptors. Brain Behav Immun 2019; 80:146-162.

Abstract
Gintonin (GT), a ginseng-derived lysophosphatidic acid receptor ligand, regulates various cellular effects and represses inflammation. However, little is known about the potential value of GT regarding inflammation in the neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington's disease (HD). In this study, we investigated whether GT could ameliorate the neurological impairment and striatal toxicity in cellular or animal model of HD. Pre-, co-, and onset-treatment with GT (25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day, p.o.) alleviated the severity of neurological impairment and lethality following 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA). Pretreatment with GT also attenuated mitochondrial dysfunction i.e. succinate dehydrogenase and MitoSOX activities, apoptosis, microglial activation, and mRNA expression of inflammatory mediators i.e. IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, COX-2, and iNOS in the striatum after 3-NPA-intoxication. Its action mechanism was associated with lysophosphatidic acid receptors (LPARs) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway activations and the inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways. These beneficial effects of GT were neutralized by pre-inhibiting LPARs with Ki16425 (a LPAR1/3 antagonist). Interestingly, GT reduced cell death and mutant huntingtin (HTT) aggregates in STHdh cells. It also mitigated neurological impairment in mice with adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector serotype DJ-mediated overexpression of N171-82Q-mutant HTT in the striatum. Taken together, our findings firstly suggested that GT has beneficial effects with a wide therapeutic time-window in 3-NPA-induced striatal toxicity by antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities through LPA. In addition, GT exerts neuroprotective effects in STHdh cells and AAV vector-infected model of HD. Thus GT might be an innovative therapeutic candidate to treat HD-like syndromes.

Abstract
Autotaxin (ATX) is a soluble extracellular enzyme that is abundant in mammalian plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It has two known enzymatic activities, acting as both a phosphodiesterase and a phospholipase. The majority of its biological effects have been associated with its ability to liberate lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) from its substrate, lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). LPA has diverse pleiotropic effects in the central nervous system (CNS) and other tissues via the activation of a family of six cognate G protein-coupled receptors. These LPA receptors (LPARs) are expressed in some combination in all known cell types in the CNS where they mediate such fundamental cellular processes as proliferation, differentiation, migration, chronic inflammation, and cytoskeletal organization. As a result, dysregulation of LPA content may contribute to many CNS and PNS disorders such as chronic inflammatory or neuropathic pain, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, metabolic syndrome-induced brain damage, traumatic brain injury, hepatic encephalopathy-induced cerebral edema, macular edema, major depressive disorder, stress-induced psychiatric disorder, alcohol-induced brain damage, HIV-induced brain injury, pruritus, and peripheral nerve injury. ATX activity is now known to be the primary biological source of this bioactive signaling lipid, and as such, represents a potentially high-value drug target. There is currently one ATX inhibitor entering phase III clinical trials, with several additional preclinical compounds under investigation. This review discusses the physiological and pathological significance of the ATX-LPA-LPA receptor signaling axis and summarizes the evidence for targeting this pathway for the treatment of CNS diseases.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling via LPA receptors (LPA1 to LPA6) contributes to the promotion of malignant potency in cancer cells. The cell motile activity are stimulated through the induction of LPA5 in melanoma cells treated with anticancer drugs. The present study aimed to investigate whether LPA signaling via LPA5 regulates chemoresistance in melanoma A375 cells. Cells were treated with cisplatin (CDDP) or dacarbazine (DTIC) every 24 h for 2 days. CDDP and DTIC treatment increased LPAR5 expressions. The cell survival rates of A375 cells treated with CDDP and DTIC were significantly decreased by LPA. In addition, LPAR5 expression was markedly elevated in long-term CDDP treated (A375-CDDP) cells. LPA decreased the cell survival rate of A375-CDDP cells treated with CDDP. To evaluate the roles of LPA5 in chemoresistance during tumor progression, highly migratory (A375-R11) cells were established from A375 cells. LPAR5 expression level was significantly lower in A375-R11 cells than in A375 cells. The cell survival rates of A375-R11 cells treated with CDDP and DTIC were increased, compared with A375 cells. Moreover, we generated LPA5 knockdown cells from A375 cells. The cell survival rates of A375 cells treated with CDDP and DTIC were significantly elevated by LPA5 knockdown. These results suggest that LPA signaling via LPA5 is involved in the modulation of chemoresistance in melanoma A375 cells.

Abstract
Activation of cAMP-PKA and cGMP-PKG pathways contributes to injury-induced sensory neuron hyperexcitability. Activation of cAMP and cGMP contributes to the development of bone cancer pain. PAR2 activation mediates injury-induced cAMP-dependent sensory neuron hyperexcitability.
The cyclic nucleotide signaling, including cAMP-PKA and cGMP-PKG pathways, has been well known to play critical roles in regulating cellular growth, metabolism and many other intracellular processes. In recent years, more and more studies have uncovered the roles of cAMP and cGMP in the nervous system. The cAMP and cGMP signaling mediates chronic pain induced by different forms of injury and stress. Here we summarize the roles of cAMP-PKA and cGMP-PKG signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of chronic pain after nerve injury. In addition, acute dissociation and chronic compression of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, respectively, leads to neural hyperexcitability possibly through PAR2 activation-dependent activation of cAMP-PKA pathway. Clinically, radiotherapy can effectively alleviate bone cancer pain at least partly through inhibiting the cancer cell-induced activation of cAMP-PKA pathway. Roles of cyclic nucleotide signaling in neuropathic and inflammatory pain are also seen in many other animal models and are involved in many pro-nociceptive mechanisms including the activation of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide (HCN)-modulated ion channels and the exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (EPAC). Further understanding the roles of cAMP and cGMP signaling in the pathogenesis of chronic pain is theoretically significant and clinically valuable for treatment of chronic pain.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) plays key roles in the initial mechanisms for neuropathic pain (NeuP) development. Here, we examined whether LPA receptor mechanisms and LPA production are related to the glial activation at a late stage after partial sciatic nerve ligation (pSNL) by use of microglial inhibitor, Mac1-saporin or astrocyte inhibitor, and L-α-aminoadipate (L-AA). Although single intrathecal injection of LPA1/3 antagonist, Ki-16425 did not affect the pain threshold at day 7 after the spinal cord injury, repeated treatments of each compound gradually reversed the basal pain threshold to the control level. The intrathecal administration of a microglia inhibitor, Mac-1-saporin reversed the late hyperalgesia and LPA production at day 14 after the pSNL, whereas L-AA inhibited the hyperalgesia, but had no effect on LPA production. The involvement of LPA receptors in astrocyte activation in vivo was evidenced by the findings that Ki-16425 treatments abolished the upregulation of CXCL1 in activated astrocytes in the spinal dorsal horn of mice at day 14 after the pSNL, and that Ki-16425 reversed the LPA-induced upregulation of several chemokine gene expressions in primary cultured astrocytes. Finally, we found that significant hyperalgesia was observed with intrathecal administration of primary cultured astrocytes, which had been stimulated by LPA in a Ki-16425-reversible manner. All these findings suggest that LPA production and LPA1/3 receptor activation through differential glial mechanisms play key roles in the maintenance as well as initiation mechanisms in NeuP.

Recent studies have demonstrated that LPA modulates electrolyte flux in the intestine, and its potential as an antidiarrheal agent has been suggested. Of six LPA receptors, LPA5 is highly expressed in the intestine. Recent studies by our group have demonstrated activation of Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3) by LPA5. However, much of what has been elucidated was achieved using colonic cell lines that were transfected to express LPA5. In the current study, we engineered a mouse that lacks LPA5 in intestinal epithelial cells, Lpar5ΔIEC, and investigated the role of LPA5 in NHE3 regulation and fluid absorption in vivo. The intestine of Lpar5ΔIEC mice appeared morphologically normal, and the stool frequency and fecal water content were unchanged compared with wild-type mice. Basal rates of NHE3 activity and fluid absorption and total NHE3 expression were not changed in Lpar5ΔIEC mice. However, LPA did not activate NHE3 activity or fluid absorption in Lpar5ΔIEC mice, providing direct evidence for the regulatory role of LPA5. NHE3 activation involves trafficking of NHE3 from the terminal web to microvilli, and this mobilization of NHE3 by LPA was abolished in Lpar5ΔIEC mice. Dysregulation of NHE3 was specific to LPA, and insulin and cholera toxin were able to stimulate and inhibit NHE3, respectively, in both wild-type and Lpar5ΔIEC mice. The current study for the first time demonstrates the necessity of LPA5 in LPA-mediated stimulation of NHE3 in vivo. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study is the first to assess the role of LPA5 in NHE3 regulation and fluid absorption in vivo using a mouse that lacks LPA5 in intestinal epithelial cells, Lpar5ΔIEC. Basal rates of NHE3 activity and fluid absorption, and total NHE3 expression were not changed in Lpar5ΔIEC mice. However, LPA did not activate NHE3 activity or fluid absorption in Lpar5ΔIEC mice, providing direct evidence for the regulatory role of LPA5.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive phospholipid that exhibits a wide array of functions that include regulation of protein synthesis and adequate development of organisms. LPA is present in the membranes of cells and in the serum of several mammals and has also been shown to participate importantly in pathophysiological conditions. For several decades it was known that LPA produces some of its effects in cells through its interaction with specific G protein-coupled receptors, which in turn are responsible for signaling pathways that regulate cellular function. Among the target proteins for LPA receptors are ion channels that modulate diverse aspects of the physiology of cells and organs where they are expressed. However, recent studies have begun to unveil direct effects of LPA on ion channels, highlighting this phospholipid as a direct agonist and adding to the knowledge of the field of lipid-protein interactions. Moreover, the roles of LPA in pathophysiological conditions associated with the function of some ion channels have also begun to be clarified, and molecular mechanisms have been identified. This review focuses on the effects of LPA on ion channel function under normal and pathological conditions and highlights our present knowledge of the mechanisms by which it regulates the function and expression of N- and T-type Ca++ channels; M-type K+ channel and inward rectifier K+ channel subunit 2.1; transient receptor potential (TRP) melastatin 2, TRP vanilloid 1, and TRP ankyrin 1 channels; and TWIK-related K+ channel 1 (TREK-1), TREK-2, TWIK-related spinal cord K+ channel (TRESK), and TWIK-related arachidonic acid-stimulated K+ channel (TRAAK).

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a ubiquitous lysophospholipid and one of the main membrane-derived lipid signaling molecules. LPA acts as an autocrine/paracrine messenger through at least six G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), known as LPA1–6, to induce various cellular processes including wound healing, differentiation, proliferation, migration, and survival. LPA receptors and autotaxin (ATX), a secreted phosphodiesterase that produces this phospholipid, are overexpressed in many cancers and impact several features of the disease, including cancer-related inflammation, development, and progression. Many ongoing studies aim to understand ATX-LPA axis signaling in cancer and its potential as a therapeutic target. In this review, we discuss the evidence linking LPA signaling to cancer-related inflammation and its impact on cancer progression.
