LPA-Induced Thromboxane A2-Mediated Vasoconstriction Is Limited to Poly-Unsaturated Molecular Species in Mouse Aortas. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:6872. [PMID: 38999980 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25136872] [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: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
We have previously reported that, in aortic rings, 18:1 lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) can induce both vasodilation and vasoconstriction depending on the integrity of the endothelium. The predominant molecular species generated in blood serum are poly-unsaturated LPA species, yet the vascular effects of these species are largely unexplored. We aimed to compare the vasoactive effects of seven naturally occurring LPA species in order to elucidate their potential pathophysiological role in vasculopathies. Vascular tone was measured using myography, and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) release was detected by ELISA in C57Bl/6 mouse aortas. The Ca2+-responses to LPA-stimulated primary isolated endothelial cells were measured by Fluo-4 AM imaging. Our results indicate that saturated molecular species of LPA elicit no significant effect on the vascular tone of the aorta. In contrast, all 18 unsaturated carbon-containing (C18) LPAs (18:1, 18:2, 18:3) were effective, with 18:1 LPA being the most potent. However, following inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX), these LPAs induced similar vasorelaxation, primarily indicating that the vasoconstrictor potency differed among these species. Indeed, C18 LPA evoked a similar Ca2+-signal in endothelial cells, whereas in endothelium-denuded aortas, the constrictor activity increased with the level of unsaturation, correlating with TXA2 release in intact aortas. COX inhibition abolished TXA2 release, and the C18 LPA induced vasoconstriction. In conclusion, polyunsaturated LPA have markedly increased TXA2-releasing and vasoconstrictor capacity, implying potential pathophysiological consequences in vasculopathies.

Abstract
Ischemic events lead to many diseases and deaths worldwide. Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) occurs due to reduced blood circulation in tissues followed by blood reflow. Reoxygenation of ischemic tissues is characterized by oxidative stress, inflammation, energy distress, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. There are still no adequate clinical protocols or pharmacological approaches to address the consequences of I/R damage. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important therapeutic targets. They compose a large family of seven transmembrane-spanning proteins that are involved in many biological functions. Orphan GPCRs are a large subgroup of these receptors expressed in different organs. In the present review, we summarized the literature regarding the role of orphan GPCRs in I/R in different organs. We focused on the effect of these receptors on modulating cellular and molecular processes underlying ischemia including apoptosis, inflammation, and autophagy. The study showed that GPR3, GPR4, GPR17, GPR30, GPR31, GPR35, GPR37, GPR39, GPR55, GPR65, GPR68, GPR75, GPR81, and GPR91 are involved in ischemic events, mainly in the brain and heart. These receptors offer new possibilities for treating I/R injuries in the body.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is a major cause of ischemic stroke, and early detection of advanced atherosclerosis in the carotid artery is important for reducing morbidity and mortality. What is even more important is not only detection of atherosclerosis but early determination whether the patients are at high risk of an event with adverse effects as the size of the plaque does not necessarily reflect its potential to trigger such events. AIM We studied whether plasma lipidomics profile can be used as a diagnostic tool for stratification of stable or unstable plaques without the need of removing the carotid plaque. METHODS This study used liquid chromatography high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry lipidomics to characterize lipid profiles in patients' plasma and found that patients with significant and complicated (vulnerable) atherosclerotic plaque had distinct lipid profiles compared to those with insignificant plaques. RESULTS The lipid classes that were most predictive of vulnerable plaque were lysophosphoethanolamines, fatty acyl esters of hydroxy fatty acids, free fatty acids, plasmalogens, and triacylglycerols. Most of these compounds were found decreased in plasma of patients with unstable plaques which enabled sufficient performance of a statistical model used for patient stratification. CONCLUSIONS Plasma lipidomes measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry show differences in patients with stable and unstable carotid plaques, therefore these compounds could potentially be used as biomarkers for unstable plaque in future clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a pathological condition caused by genetic factors alone or in combination with environmental factors, sometimes leading to acute pancreatitis (AP). In this study, exome sequencing and biochemical analyses were performed in 4 patients with hypertriglyceridemia complicated by obesity or diabetes with a history of AP or decreased post-heparin LPL mass. In a patient with a history of AP, SNP rs199953320 resulting in LMF1 nonsense mutation and APOE rs7412 causing apolipoprotein E2 were both found in heterozygous form. Three patients were homozygous for APOA5 rs2075291, and one was heterozygous. ELISA and Western blot analysis of the serum revealed the existence of apolipoprotein A-V in the lipoprotein-free fraction regardless of the presence or absence of rs2075291; furthermore, the molecular weight of apolipoprotein A-V was different depending on the class of lipoprotein or lipoprotein-free fraction. Lipidomics analysis showed increased serum levels of sphingomyelin and many classes of glycerophospholipid; however, when individual patients were compared, the degree of increase in each class of phospholipid among cases did not coincide with the increases seen in total cholesterol and triglycerides. Moreover, phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylinositol, and sphingomyelin levels tended to be higher in patients who experienced AP than those who did not, suggesting that these phospholipids may contribute to the onset of AP. In summary, this study revealed a new disease-causing gene mutation in LMF1, confirmed an association between overlapping of multiple gene mutations and severe hypertriglyceridemia, and suggested that some classes of phospholipid may be involved in the pathogenesis of AP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The metabolic alterations occurring within the arterial architecture during atherosclerosis development remain poorly understood, let alone those particular to each arterial tunica. We aimed first to identify, in a spatially resolved manner, the specific metabolic changes in plaque, media, adventitia, and cardiac tissue between control and atherosclerotic murine aortas. Second, we assessed their translatability to human tissue and plasma for cardiovascular risk estimation. METHODS In this observational study, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) was applied to identify region-specific metabolic differences between atherosclerotic (n=11) and control (n=11) aortas from low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice, via histology-guided virtual microdissection. Early and advanced plaques were compared within the same atherosclerotic animals. Progression metabolites were further analyzed by MSI in 9 human atherosclerotic carotids and by targeted mass spectrometry in human plasma from subjects with elective coronary artery bypass grafting (cardiovascular risk group, n=27) and a control group (n=27). RESULTS MSI identified 362 local metabolic alterations in atherosclerotic mice (log2 fold-change ≥1.5; P≤0.05). The lipid composition of cardiac tissue is altered during atherosclerosis development and presents a generalized accumulation of glycerophospholipids, except for lysolipids. Lysolipids (among other glycerophospholipids) were found at elevated levels in all 3 arterial layers of atherosclerotic aortas. LPC(18:0) (lysophosphatidylcholine; P=0.024) and LPA(18:1) (lysophosphatidic acid; P=0.025) were found to be significantly elevated in advanced plaques as compared with mouse-matched early plaques. Higher levels of both lipid species were also observed in fibrosis-rich areas of advanced- versus early-stage human samples. They were found to be significantly reduced in human plasma from subjects with elective coronary artery bypass grafting (P<0.001 and P=0.031, respectively), with LPC(18:0) showing significant association with cardiovascular risk (odds ratio, 0.479 [95% CI, 0.225-0.883]; P=0.032) and diagnostic potential (area under the curve, 0.778 [95% CI, 0.638-0.917]). CONCLUSIONS An altered phospholipid metabolism occurs in atherosclerosis, affecting both the aorta and the adjacent heart tissue. Plaque-progression lipids LPC(18:0) and LPA(18:1), as identified by MSI on tissue, reflect cardiovascular risk in human plasma.

Abstract
In this study, we identified new lipid species associated with the loss of pancreatic β-cells triggering diabetes. We performed lipidomics measurements on serum from prediabetic mice lacking β-cell prohibitin-2 (a model of monogenic diabetes) patients without previous history of diabetes but scheduled for pancreaticoduodenectomy resulting in the acute reduction of their β-cell mass (∼50%), and patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We found lysophosphatidylinositols (lysoPIs) were the main circulating lipid species altered in prediabetic mice. The changes were confirmed in the patients with acute reduction of their β-cell mass and in those with T2D. Increased lysoPIs significantly correlated with HbA1c (reflecting glycemic control), fasting glycemia, and disposition index, and did not correlate with insulin resistance or obesity in human patients with T2D. INS-1E β-cells as well as pancreatic islets isolated from nondiabetic mice and human donors exposed to exogenous lysoPIs showed potentiated glucose-stimulated and basal insulin secretion. Finally, addition of exogenous lysoPIs partially rescued impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in islets from mice and humans in the diabetic state. Overall, lysoPIs appear to be lipid species upregulated in the prediabetic stage associated with the loss of β-cells and that support the secretory function of the remaining β-cells. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS Circulating lysophosphatidylinositols (lysoPIs) are increased in situations associated with β-cell loss in mice and humans such as (pre-)diabetes, and hemipancreatectomy. Pancreatic islets isolated from nondiabetic mice and human donors, as well as INS-1E β-cells, exposed to exogenous lysoPIs exhibited potentiated glucose-stimulated and basal insulin secretion. Addition of exogenous lysoPIs partially rescued impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in islets from mice and humans in the diabetic state. LysoPIs appear as lipid species being upregulated already in the prediabetic stage associated with the loss of β-cells and supporting the function of the remaining β-cells.

Abstract
CONTEXT Dietary fatty acids (FAs), primarily n-3 polyunsaturated FAs, have been associated with enrichment of the circulating bioactive lipidome and changes in the enzymatic precursor lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) mass; however, the magnitude of this effect remains unclear. OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of different dietary FAs on the bioactive lipid profile of healthy participants and those with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD risk factors. DATA SOURCES PubMed, SCOPUS and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant articles published between October 2010 and May 2022. DATA EXTRACTION Data were screened for relevance and then retrieved in full and evaluated for eligibility by 2 reviewers independently. DATA ANALYSIS The net difference in the bioactive lipid mean values between the endpoint and the baseline, and the corresponding SDs or SEs, were used for the qualitative synthesis. For the meta-analysis, a fixed-effects model was used. RESULTS Twenty-seven randomized clinical trials (representing >2560 participants) were included. Over 78% of the enrolled participants had ≥1 associated CVD risk factor, whereas <22% were healthy. In the meta-analysis, marine n-3 supplements (dose range, 0.37-1.9 g/d) significantly increased pro-inflammatory lysophosphatidylcholines (lyso-PCs; for lyso-PC(16:0): mean, +0.52 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.02-1.01] µM; for lyso-PC(18:0): mean, +0.58 [95%CI, 0.09-1.08] µM) in obese participants. Additionally, n-3 supplementation (1-5.56 g/d) decreased plasma Lp-PLA2 mass, a well-known inflammation marker, in healthy (-0.35 [95%CI, -0.59 to -0.10] ng/mL), dyslipidemic (-0.36 [95%CI, -0.47 to -0.25] ng/mL), and stable coronary artery disease participants (-0.52 [95%CI, -0.91 to -0.12] ng/mL). CONCLUSIONS Daily n-3 provided as EPA+DHA supplements and consumed from 1 to 6 months reduced plasma Lp-PLA2 mass in healthy participants and those with CVD and CVD risk factors, suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect. However, the saturated lyso-PC response to n-3 was impaired in obese participants. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO registration no. CRD42021218335.

[PMID: 37080433 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2023.108421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023]
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.

Usefulness of lysophosphatidylcholine measurement in the cerebrospinal fluid for differential diagnosis of neuropathic pain: Possible introduction into clinical laboratory testing. Clin Chim Acta 2023; 541:117249. [PMID: 36764506 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2023.117249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The differential diagnosis of neuropathic pain, especially discrimination between neuropathic pain caused by spinal canal stenosis (SCS) and neuropathic pain associated with causes other than SCS, is sometimes difficult; however, it is important for surgical application. METHODS We established a reliable method for measuring lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a precursor of lysophosphatidic acids which are known as being pain initiators, using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method, and measured the LPC concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in patients with SCS (SCS group; n = 76), patients with neuropathic pain caused by non-SCS diseases (Others group; n = 49), and control subjects without pain (control group; n = 92). RESULTS Both within-run and between-run CV(%) were almost < 10 %, suggesting an enough performance for clinical introduction. The CSF concentrations of LPC (16:0) and LPC (18:0) were higher in the SCS group than those in the Control or Others group; the concentrations of LPC (18:1), LPC (18:2), LPC (20:4), LPC (22:6) levels were higher in the SCS group than those in the control or others group, but they were also higher in the Others group than those in the control group. The areas under the curve in the ROC curve analyses of LPC (18:1) for discriminating between the SCS and control groups, others and control groups, and SCS and others groups were 0.994, 0.860, and 0.869, respectively. CONCLUSIONS LPC measurement in the CSF is useful for the differential diagnosis of neuropathic pain, especially for surgical decision-making, which is expected for clinical introduction.

Abstract
Background Analyses of brain samples from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients may be expected to help us improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of AD. Bioactive lipids, including sphingolipids, glycerophospholipids, and eicosanoids/related mediators have been demonstrated to exert potent physiological actions and to be involved in the pathogenesis of various human diseases. In this cross-sectional study, we attempted to elucidate the associations of these bioactive lipids with the pathogenesis/pathology of AD through postmortem studies of human brains. Methods We measured the levels of glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and eicosanoids/related mediators in the brains of patients with AD (AD brains), patients with Cerad score B (Cerad-b brains), and control subjects (control brains), using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method; we also measured the mRNA levels of specific receptors for these bioactive lipids in the same brain specimens. Results The levels of several species of sphingomyelins and ceramides were higher in the Cerad-b and AD brains. Levels of several species of lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs), lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylserine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE), lysophosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylglycerol were especially high in the Cerad-b brains, while those of lysophosphatidylglycerol (LPG) were especially high in the AD brains. Several eicosanoids, including metabolites of prostaglandin E2, oxylipins, metabolites of epoxide, and metabolites of DHA and EPA, such as resolvins, were also modulated in the AD brains. Among the lipid mediators, the levels of S1P2, S1P5, LPA1, LPA2, LPA6, P2Y10, GPR174, EP1, DP1, DP2, IP, FP, and TXA2r were lower in the AD and/or Cerad-b brains. The brain levels of ceramides, LPC, LPI, PE, and PS showed strong positive correlations with the Aβ contents, while those of LPG showed rather strong positive correlations with the presence of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. A discriminant analysis revealed that LPG is especially important for AD and the LPE/PE axis is important for Cerad-b. Conclusions Comprehensive lipidomics, together with the measurement of lipid receptor expression levels provided novel evidence for the associations of bioactive lipids with AD, which is expected to facilitate future translational research and reverse translational research.

Persistent elevation of lysophosphatidylcholine promotes radiation brain necrosis with microglial recruitment by P2RX4 activation. Sci Rep 2022; 12:8718. [PMID: 35610277 PMCID: PMC9130232 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-12293-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Brain radiation necrosis (RN) or neurocognitive disorder is a severe adverse effect that may occur after radiation therapy for malignant brain tumors or head and neck cancers. RN accompanies inflammation which causes edema or micro-bleeding, and no fundamental treatment has been developed. In inflammation, lysophospholipids (LPLs) are produced by phospholipase A2 and function as bioactive lipids involved in sterile inflammation in atherosclerosis or brain disorders. To elucidate its underlying mechanisms, we investigated the possible associations between lysophospholipids (LPLs) and RN development in terms of microglial activation with the purinergic receptor P2X purinoceptor 4 (P2RX4). We previously developed a mouse model of RN and in this study, measured phospholipids and LPLs in the brains of RN model by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) analyses. We immune-stained microglia and the P2RX4 in the brains of RN model with time-course. We treated RN model mice with ivermectin, an allosteric modulator of P2RX4 and investigate the effect on microglial activation with P2RX4 and LPLs’ production, and resulting effects on overall survival and working memory. We revealed that LPLs (lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), lysophosphatidyl acid, lysophosphatidylserine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylinositol, and lysophosphatidylglycerol) remained at high levels during the progression of RN with microglial accumulation, though phospholipids elevations were limited. Both microglial accumulation and activation of the P2RX4 were attenuated by ivermectin. Moreover, the elevation of all LPLs except LPC was also attenuated by ivermectin. However, there was limited prolongation of survival time and improvement of working memory disorders. Our findings suggest that uncontrollable increased LPC, even with ivermectin treatment, promoted the development of RN and working memory disorders. Therefore, LPC suppression will be essential for controlling RN and neurocognitive disorder after radiation therapy.

Abstract
Preclinical evidence suggests a main role of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling in drug addiction. Recently, we reported alterations in the plasma concentrations of LPA species in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). As there are sex differences in drug addiction, the main aim of the present study was to investigate whether relevant LPA species (16:0-LPA, 18:0-LPA, 18:1-LPA, 18:2-LPA and 20:4-LPA) were associated with sex and/or substance use disorder (SUD). This exploratory study was conducted in 214 abstinent patients with lifetime SUD, and 91 healthy control subjects. The SUD group was divided according to the diagnosis of AUD and/or cocaine use disorder (CUD). Participants were clinically assessed, and plasma samples were collected to determine LPA species and total LPA. We found that LPA concentrations were significantly affected by sex, and women showed higher concentrations than men. In addition, there were significantly lower 16:0-LPA, 18:2-LPA and total LPA concentrations in patients with SUD than in controls. Namely, patients with CUD and AUD + CUD showed lower LPA concentrations than controls or patients with AUD. In conclusion, our data suggest that LPA species could be potential biomarkers for SUD in women and men, which could contribute to a better stratification of these patients in treatment programs.

Abstract
Phospholipase A1 (PLA1) is an enzyme that cleaves an ester bond at the sn-1 position of glycerophospholipids, producing a free fatty acid and a lysophospholipid. PLA1 activities have been detected both extracellularly and intracellularly, which are well conserved in higher eukaryotes, including fish and mammals. All extracellular PLA1s belong to the lipase family. In addition to PLA1 activity, most mammalian extracellular PLA1s exhibit lipase activity to hydrolyze triacylglycerol, cleaving the fatty acid and contributing to its absorption into the intestinal tract and tissues. Some extracellular PLA1s exhibit PLA1 activities specific to phosphatidic acid (PA) or phosphatidylserine (PS) and serve to produce lysophospholipid mediators such as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS). A high level of PLA1 activity has been detected in the cytosol fractions, where PA-PLA1/DDHD1/iPLA1 was responsible for the activity. Many homologs of PA-PLA1 and PLA2 have been shown to exhibit PLA1 activity. Although much has been learned about the pathophysiological roles of PLA1 molecules through studies of knockout mice and human genetic diseases, many questions regarding their biochemical properties, including their genuine in vivo substrate, remain elusive.

Abstract
Background Numerous studies have investigated the possible involvement of eicosanoids, lysophospholipids, and sphingolipids in cancer. We considered that comprehensive measurement of these lipid mediators might provide a better understanding of their involvement in the pathogenesis of cancer. In the present study, we attempted to elucidate the modulations of sphingolipids, lysophospholipids, diacyl‐phospholipids, eicosanoids, and related mediators in cancer by measuring their levels simultaneously by a liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry method in a mouse model of carcinomatous peritonitis. Methods We investigated the modulations of these lipids in both ascitic fluid and plasma specimens obtained from Balb/c mice injected intraperitoneally with Colon‐26 cells, as well as the modulations of the lipid contents in the cancer cells obtained from the tumor xenografts. Results The results were as follows: the levels of sphingosine 1‐phosphate were increased, while those of lysophosphatidic acid (LysoPA), especially unsaturated long‐chain LysoPA, tended to be increased, in the ascitic fluid. Our findings suggested that ceramides, sphingomyelin, and phosphatidylcholine, their precursors, were supplied by both de novo synthesis and from elsewhere in the body. The levels of lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS), lysophosphatidylinositol, lysophosphatidylglycerol, and lysophosphatidylethanolamine were also increased in the ascitic fluid, while those of phosphatidylserine (PS), a precursor of LysoPS, were markedly decreased. The levels of arachidonic acid derivatives, especially PGE2‐related metabolites, were increased, while the plasma levels of eicosanoids and related mediators were decreased. Comprehensive statistical analyses mainly identified PS in the ascitic fluid and eicosanoids in the plasma as having highly negative predictive values for cancer. Conclusions The results proposed many unknown associations of lipid mediators with cancer, underscoring the need for further studies. In particular, the PS/LysoPS pathway could be a novel therapeutic target, and plasma eicosanoids could be useful biomarkers for cancer.

Abstract
Lysophospholipids, exemplified by lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), are produced by the metabolism and perturbation of biological membranes. Both molecules are established extracellular lipid mediators that signal via specific G protein-coupled receptors in vertebrates. This widespread signaling axis regulates the development, physiological functions, and pathological processes of all organ systems. Indeed, recent research into LPA and S1P has revealed their important roles in cellular stress signaling, inflammation, resolution, and host defense responses. In this review, we focus on how LPA regulates fibrosis, neuropathic pain, abnormal angiogenesis, endometriosis, and disorders of neuroectodermal development such as hydrocephalus and alopecia. In addition, we discuss how S1P controls collective behavior, apoptotic cell clearance, and immunosurveillance of cancers. Advances in lysophospholipid research have led to new therapeutics in autoimmune diseases, with many more in earlier stages of development for a wide variety of diseases, such as fibrotic disorders, vascular diseases, and cancer.

Abstract
Monocyte recruitment after vascular injury and their migration through the vessel wall represent crucial events in the initiation, progression, and destabilization of atherosclerotic plaque. Circulating monocytes are exposed to stimuli that alter their physiological state, and among them, lipids play a key role. Several studies investigated the mechanisms by which lipids affect monocyte functions promoting coronary atherosclerotic plaque initiation, but information on the relationship between lipid composition and function of monocyte is scant. We aimed at studying the migration of circulating monocytes isolated from patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at hospital presentation and investigating its correlation with cellular lipid profile. The migration of monocytes was tested using both fetal bovine serum (FBS) and autologous serum as chemoattractant stimuli. Monocyte lipid profile was evaluated through an untargeted lipidomics approach, using a liquid chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry platform. We observed that AMI patients' monocytes showed a significant increase in FBS and autologous serum-mediated migration compared to controls. Moreover, a different monocyte lipidomic profile between the two study groups was detected. In particular, AMI patients' monocytes showed an altered composition in ceramides, with an increase in lactosylceramide and in phospholipids (ie, phosphatidylethanolamine and lisophosphatidylethanolamine). Of note, a positive correlation between lactosylceramide levels and monocyte migration was observed. Furthermore, the lactosylceramide synthase inhibition significantly reduced FBS-induced monocyte migration. Our results highlight the influence of lactosylceramide on the monocyte migration capacity, pointing out a new possible mechanism of lipids in the onset of atherothrombosis and, hence, in AMI.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) is a glycero-lysophospholipid and a natural agonist against GPR55. The roles of the LPI/GPR55 axis in the pathogenesis of inflammation have been controversial. In the present study, we attempted to elucidate the roles of the LPI/GPR55 axis in inflammation, especially the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, IL-6 and TNF-α from macrophages. We treated RAW264.7 cells and mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) with LPI and observed that LPI induced the secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α from these cells, as well as the phosphorylation of p38. These responses were inhibited by treatment with CID16020046 (CID), an antagonist against GPR55, or SB202190, an inhibitor of p38 cascade or knockdown of GPR55 with siRNA. Treatment with CID or ML-193, another antagonist against GPR55, attenuated the elevation of inflammatory cytokines in the plasma or tissue of db/db mice and in a septic mouse model induced using lipopolysaccharide, suggesting contributions to the improvement of insulin resistance and protection against organ injuries by treatment with CID or ML-193, respectively. In human subjects, although the serum LPI levels were not different, the levels of LPI in the lipoprotein fractions were lower and the levels in the lipoprotein-depleted fractions were higher in subjects with diabetes. LPI bound to albumin induced the secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α from RAW264.7 cells to a greater degree than LPI bound to LDL or HDL. These results suggest that LPI, especially the albumin-bound form, induced inflammatory cytokines depending on the GPR55/p38 pathway, which might contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity-induced inflammation and acute inflammation.

Role of Lysophospholipid Metabolism in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Stem Cells. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13143434. [PMID: 34298649 PMCID: PMC8305981 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13143434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2021] [Revised: 07/05/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary In this review, I discuss our recent finding that lysophospholipid metabolism is essential for the maintenance of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) stem cells. Lysophospholipids have only one fatty acid chain and so are more hydrophilic than phospholipids, allowing them to act as lipid second messengers. We demonstrated that the stem cell quiescence and TKI resistance displayed by CML stem cells in vivo are sustained by the Gdpd3 enzyme involved in lysophospholipid metabolism. At the mechanistic level, Gdpd3 function allows lysophospholipid metabolism to suppress the AKT/mTORC1-mediated cell growth pathway while activating the stemness factors FOXO and β-catenin. Our results thus link lysophospholipid metabolism to CML stemness, and may thereby open up new therapeutic avenues to overcome CML relapse post-TKI therapy. Abstract It is well known that mature chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells proliferate in response to oncogenic BCR–ABL1-dependent signaling, but how CML stem cells are able to survive in an oncogene-independent manner and cause disease relapse has long been elusive. Here, I put into the context of the broader literature our recent finding that lysophospholipid metabolism is essential for the maintenance of CML stem cells. I describe the fundamentals of lysophospholipid metabolism and discuss how one of its key enzymes, Glycerophosphodiester Phosphodiesterase Domain Containing 3 (Gdpd3), is responsible for maintaining the unique characteristics of CML stem cells. I also explore how this knowledge may be exploited to devise novel therapies for CML patients.

[PMID: 34214158 PMCID: PMC8653873 DOI: 10.1093/ijnp/pyab044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2021] [Revised: 05/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is involved in numerous biological processes, including neurodevelopment, chronic inflammation, and immunologic response in the central nervous system. Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted enzyme that produces LPA from lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). Previous studies have demonstrated decreased protein levels of ATX in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Based on those studies, the current study investigated the levels of lysophospholipids species including LPA and related metabolic enzymes, in CSF of patients with MDD and schizophrenia (SCZ). METHODS The levels of lysophospholipids species and related metabolic enzymes were measured with either liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Japanese patients were diagnosed with DSM-IV-TR. CSF was obtained from age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 27) and patients with MDD (n = 26) and SCZ (n = 27). RESULTS Of all lysophospholipids species, the levels of LPA 22:6 (LPA - docosahexaenoic acid) were significantly lower in patients with MDD and SCZ than in healthy controls. These levels were negatively correlated with several clinical symptomatic scores of MDD, but not those of SCZ. In addition, the levels of LPA 22:6 were significantly correlated with the levels of LPC 22:6 among all 3 groups. On the other hand, the levels of LPA 22:6 were not correlated with ATX activity in patients with MDD and SCZ. CONCLUSION The lower levels of LPA 22:6 in patients with MDD and SCZ suggest an abnormality of LPA 22:6 metabolism. In addition, several depressive symptoms in patients with MDD were significantly associated with the lower levels of LPA 22:6, suggesting an involvement of LPA 22:6 in the pathophysiology of MDD.

Abstract
Evidence is growing for the role of red blood cells (RBCs) in vascular homeostasis, including thrombogenic events and inflammation. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is known to induce phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure and the release of RBC Extracellular Vesicles (REVs). Using high sensitivity flow cytometry, we examined the effects and the mechanisms by which the LPA species commonly found in human plasma could activate RBCs. We report that LPA 16:0, 18:0 and 18:1, but not LPA 20:4, induced PS exposure and the release of small PS- and large PS+ REVs through LPA3 receptor signalling in RBCs. The release of large PS+ REVs required higher concentrations of LPA. RBCs were not activated by LPA 20:4. Interestingly, blockade of LPA2 enhanced LPA-mediated PS- REV release in RBCs. Furthermore, LPA receptor agonists and antagonists highlighted that LPA 20:4 inhibited LPA3-dependent PS exposure and, through the LPA2 receptor, inhibited PS- REV production. Activation of RBCs with LPA 18:1 in normal plasma stimulated the release of PS- and PS+ REVs. REVs released in response to LPA were similar to those found in the plasma of systemic lupus erythematosus patients. Our results suggest that LPA species exhibit different biological activities in RBCs through targeting LPA2 and/or LPA3 receptors.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS) is an emerging lysophospholipid (LPL) mediator, which acts through G protein-coupled receptors, like lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). LysoPS is detected in various tissues and cells and thought to be produced mainly by the deacylation of phosphatidylserine. LysoPS has been known to stimulate degranulation of mast cells. Recently, four LysoPS-specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) were identified. These GPCRs belong to the P2Y family which covers receptors for nucleotides and LPLs and are predominantly expressed in immune cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages. Studies on knockout mice of these GPCRs have revealed that LysoPS has immune-modulatory functions. Up-regulation of a LysoPS-producing enzyme, PS-specific phospholipase A1, was frequently observed in situations where the immune system is activated including autoimmune diseases and organ transplantations. Therefore, modulation of LysoPS signaling appears to be a promising method for providing therapies for the treatment of immune diseases. In this review, we summarize the biology of LysoPS-producing enzymes and receptors, recent developments in LysoPS signal modulators, and prospects for future therapeutic applications.

Abstract
2-Arachidonyl-lysophosphatidylethanolamine, shortly 2-ARA-LPE, is a polyunsaturated lysophosphatidylethanolamine. 2-ARA-LPE has a very long chain arachidonic acid, formed by an ester bond at the sn-2 position. It has been reported that 2-ARA-LPE has anti-inflammatory effects in a zymosan-induced peritonitis model. However, it’s action mechanisms are poorly investigated. Recently, resolution of inflammation is considered to be an active process driven by M2 polarized macrophages. Therefore, we have investigated whether 2-ARA-LPE acts on macrophages for anti-inflammation, whether 2-ARA-LPE modulates macrophage phenotypes to reduce inflammation, and whether 2-ARA-LPE is anti-inflammatory in a carrageenan-induced paw edema model. In mouse peritoneal macrophages, 2-ARA-LPE was found to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced M1 macrophage polarization, but not induce M2 polarization. 2-ARA-LPE inhibited the inductions of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 in mouse peritoneal macrophages at the mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, products of the two genes, nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2, were also inhibited by 2-ARA-LPE. However, 1-oleoyl-LPE did not show any activity on the macrophage polarization and inflammatory responses. The anti-inflammatory activity of 2-ARA-LPE was also verified in vivo in a carrageenan-induced paw edema model. 2-ARA-LPE inhibits LPS-induced M1 polarization, which contributes to anti-inflammation and suppresses the carrageenan-induced paw edema in vivo.

Abstract
Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSS) or mechanical compression of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is one of the causes of low back pain and neuropathic pain (NP). Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a potent bioactive lipid mediator that is produced mainly from lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) via autotaxin (ATX) and is known to induce NP via LPA1 receptor signaling in mice. Recently, we demonstrated that LPC and LPA were higher in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with LSS. Based on the possible potential efficacy of the ATX inhibitor for NP treatment, we used an NP model with compression of DRG (CD model) and investigated LPA dynamics and whether ATX inhibition could ameliorate NP symptoms, using an orally available ATX inhibitor (ONO-8430506) at a dose of 30 mg/kg. In CD model, we observed increased LPC and LPA levels in CSF, and decreased threshold of the pain which were ameliorated by oral administration of the ATX inhibitor with decreased microglia and astrocyte populations at the site of the spinal dorsal horn projecting from injured DRG. These results suggested possible efficacy of ATX inhibitor for the treatment of NP caused by spinal nerve root compression and involvement of the ATX-LPA axis in the mechanism of NP induction.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a potent signaling lipid, and state-dependent alterations in plasma LPA make it a promising diagnostic marker for various diseases. However, plasma LPA concentrations vary widely among reports, even under normal conditions. These variations can be attributed, at least in part, to the artificial metabolism of LPA after blood collection. Here, we aimed to develop an optimized plasma preparation method that reflects the concentration of LPA in the circulating blood. The main features of the devised method were suppression of both LPA production and degradation after blood collection by keeping whole blood samples at low temperature followed by the addition of an autotaxin inhibitor to plasma samples. Using this devised method, the LPA level did not change for 30 min after blood collection. Also, human and mouse LPA levels were found to be much lower than those previously reported, ranging from 40 to 50 nM with minimal variation across the individual. Finally, the increased accuracy made it possible to detect circadian rhythms in the levels of certain LPA species in mouse plasma. These results demonstrate the usefulness of the devised plasma preparation method to determine accurate plasma LPA concentrations.

Abstract
KEY POINTS The functional roles of the capsaicin receptor, TRPV1, outside of sensory nerves are unclear. We mapped TRPV1 in the mouse circulation, revealing extensive expression in the smooth muscle of resistance arterioles supplying skeletal muscle, heart and adipose tissue. Activation of TRPV1 in vascular myocytes constricted arteries, reduced coronary flow in isolated hearts and increased systemic blood pressure. These functional effects were retained after sensory nerve ablation, indicating specific signalling by arterial TRPV1. TRPV1 mediated the vasoconstrictive and blood pressure responses to the endogenous inflammatory lipid lysophosphatidic acid. These results show that TRPV1 in arteriolar myocytes modulates regional blood flow and systemic blood pressure, and suggest that TRPV1 may be a target of vasoactive inflammatory mediators. ABSTRACT The capsaicin receptor, TRPV1, is a key ion channel involved in inflammatory pain signalling. Although mainly studied in sensory nerves, there are reports of TRPV1 expression in isolated segments of the vasculature, but whether the channel localizes to vascular endothelium or smooth muscle is controversial and the distribution and functional roles of TRPV1 in arteries remain unknown. We mapped functional TRPV1 expression throughout the mouse arterial circulation. Analysis of reporter mouse lines TRPV1PLAP-nlacZ and TRPV1-Cre:tdTomato combined with Ca2+ imaging revealed specific localization of TRPV1 to smooth muscle of terminal arterioles in the heart, adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. Capsaicin evoked inward currents (current density ∼10% of sensory neurons) and raised intracellular Ca2+ levels in arterial smooth muscle cells, constricted arterioles ex vivo and in vivo and increased systemic blood pressure in mice and rats. Further, capsaicin markedly and dose-dependently reduced coronary flow. Pharmacological and/or genetic disruption of TRPV1 abolished all these effects of capsaicin as well as vasoconstriction triggered by lysophosphatidic acid, a bioactive lipid generated by platelets and atherogenic plaques. Notably, ablation of sensory nerves did not affect the responses to capsaicin revealing a vascular smooth muscle-restricted signalling mechanism. Moreover, unlike in sensory nerves, TRPV1 function in arteries was resistant to activity-induced desensitization. Thus, TRPV1 activation in vascular myocytes enables a persistent depolarizing current, leading to constriction of coronary, skeletal muscle and adipose arterioles and a sustained increase in systemic blood pressure.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the major contributor to cardiovascular diseases. It is a spatially and temporally complex inflammatory disease, in which intravascular accumulation of a plethora of lipids is considered to play a crucial role. To date, both the composition and local distribution of the involved lipids have not been thoroughly mapped yet. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) enables analyzing and visualizing hundreds of lipid molecules within the plaque while preserving each lipid's specific location. In this study, we aim to identify and verify aortic plaque-specific lipids with high-spatial-resolution 2D and 3D MALDI-MSI common to high-fat-diet-fed low-density lipoprotein receptor deficient (ldlr-/-) mice and chow-fed apolipoprotein E deficient (apoe-/-) mice, the two most widely used animal models for atherosclerosis. A total of 11 lipids were found to be significantly and specifically colocalized to the plaques in both mouse models. These were identified and belong to one sphingomyelin (SM), three lysophosphatidic acids (LPA), four lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC), two lysophosphatidylethanolamines (LPE), and one lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI). While these lysolipids and SM 34:0;2 were characteristic of the atherosclerotic aorta plaque itself, LPI 18:0 was mainly localized in the necrotic core of the plaque.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 258:112928. [PMID: 32371144 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.112928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2020] [Revised: 03/18/2020] [Accepted: 04/26/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE BuZangTongLuo Formula (BZTLF) was the decoction of eight traditional Chinese medicines including Astragalus membranaceus, Dioscorea opposita, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Ophiopogon japonicus, Panax ginseng, Fritillariae cirrhosae and Whitmania pigra. This formula has been used as an effective remedy for treatment of diabetic ischemia clinically. AIM OF THE STUDY In previous study, we have reported the therapeutic effect of BZTLF on diabetic vascular dysfunction. However, it remains obscure about the role of metabolic pathways in BZTLF-initiated improvement on hindlimb ischemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diabetic mice with hindlimb ischemia were orally administrated with BZTLF by gavage. The serum samples were prepared for untargeted metabolomic analysis by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer. The metabolic network was built by integrating metabolite data with the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset (GSE3313). Further, quantitative PCR was used to confirm the key target genes. RESULTS BZTLF treatment remarkably led to the reversal of changed metabolite levels in serum of diabetic mice with hindlimb ischemia, which mainly derived from bacteria, plant and signaling molecules. Also, BZTLF reshaped the metabolic pathways, especially those responsible for metabolism of lipid, gluthanine and tryptophan. In addition, BZTLF led to the reduction of lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs) and increment of triglycerides (TGs) conjugation with non-saturated fatty acids in serum. BZTLF significantly restored the down-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) or the up-regulation of interleukin 4-induced 1 (IL4I1) and cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily B member 1 (CYP1B1) at mRNA level, which were key regulatory genes located in metabolic pathways of glutamate and tryptophan. CONCLUSIONS BZTLF improved hindlimb ischemia in diabetic mice by the positive regulation of metabolome changes in serum.

Lysophosphatidic acid promotes thrombus stability by inducing rapid formation of neutrophil extracellular traps: A new mechanism of thrombosis. J Thromb Haemost 2020; 18:1952-1964. [PMID: 32291893 DOI: 10.1111/jth.14839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2020] [Revised: 03/29/2020] [Accepted: 04/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive phospholipid released by activated platelets, can induce platelet shape changes and aggregation, which may play an important role in thrombosis. In contrast, the interaction of LPA with neutrophils in thrombosis has not been studied. Recently, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been shown to bind plasma proteins and activate platelets, which promotes thrombosis. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether LPA could activate neutrophils to release NETs, predisposing to thrombosis and promoting thrombus stability. METHODS Levels of neutrophils, NETs, and LPA were detected in 56 participants. Immunofluorescence of NETs and autotaxin, the LPA-producing ectoenzyme, were performed. Induction of NETs and signaling pathways were explored in vitro. RESULTS Patients with acute pulmonary embolism showed elevated levels of neutrophils, NETs (dsDNA, MPO-DNA, citrullinated histone H3, and nucleosomes), LPA18:1, and LPA20:4. NETs were present in human intrapulmonary thrombi and were surrounded by autotaxin. LPA18:1 induced rapid release of NETs from human neutrophils via a peptidylarginine deiminase 4-dependent pathway. LPA-induced NETs provided a scaffolding for plasma protein binding and generated a tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)-resistant blood clot. Addition of deoxyribonuclease I to tPA significantly accelerated the lysis of clots and human intrapulmonary thrombi. Furthermore, LPA-induced NETs could activate platelets to release LPA. CONCLUSION This is the first study to implicate LPA in regulating the stability of thrombi by inducing rapid release of NETs in vitro and ex vivo, which could be a new mechanism of thrombosis. These findings provide new insight into the prevention and therapy of venous thromboembolic disease by targeting the LPA-NET signaling pathway.

Regulation of plasma glycero-lysophospholipid levels by lipoprotein metabolism. Biochem J 2020; 476:3565-3581. [PMID: 31746967 DOI: 10.1042/bcj20190498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2019] [Revised: 11/19/2019] [Accepted: 11/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Glycero-lysophospholipids, such as lysophosphatidic acids and lysophosphatidylserine, are gathering attention, since specific receptors have been identified. Most of these compounds have been proposed to be bound to albumin, while their associations with lipoproteins have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the contents of glycero-lysophospholipids (lysophosphatidic acids, lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylglycerol, lysophosphatidylinositol, and lysophosphatidylserine) on lipoproteins and the modulation of their metabolism by lipoprotein metabolism. We observed that moderate amounts of glycero-lysophospholipids, with the exception of lysophosphatidylserine, were distributed on the LDL and HDL fractions, and glycero-lysophospholipids that had bound to albumin were observed in lipoprotein fractions when they were co-incubated. The overexpression of cholesteryl ester transfer protein decreased the plasma levels of lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylglycerol, and lysophosphatidylinositol and it increased their contents in apoB-containing lipoproteins, while it decreased their contents in HDL and lipoprotein-depleted fractions in mice. The overexpression of the LDL receptor (LDLr) decreased the plasma levels of lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylglycerol, and lysophosphatidylinositol and decreased the contents of these compounds in the LDL, HDL, and lipoprotein-depleted fractions, while the knockdown of the LDLr increased them. These results suggest the potential importance of glycero-lysophospholipids in the pleiotropic effects of lipoproteins as well as the importance of lipoprotein metabolism in the regulation of glycero-lysophospholipids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While basic researches have shown the involvement of the autotaxin-lysophosphatidic acid (ATX-LPA) axis in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases, no clinical studies have revealed the association between urinary ATX concentrations and kidney disease yet. We investigate the clinical characteristics in relation to the urinary ATX concentrations and the potential association between urinary ATX concentrations and various kidney diseases. METHODS We measured the urinary ATX concentrations in residual urine samples after routine clinical testing from a total of 326 subjects with various kidney diseases and healthy subjects. We compared the urinary ATX concentrations in relation to clinical parameters and urinary biomarkers, and investigated their association with various kidney diseases. RESULTS The urinary ATX concentrations were associated with the gender, eGFR, presence/absence of hematuria, serum ATX, urinary concentrations of total protein (TP), microalbumin, N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), α1-microglobulin (α1-MG), and transforming growth factor-β. Multiple regression analyses identified urinary α1-MG, age, urinary TP, NAG, and hematuria as being significantly associated with the urinary ATX concentrations. Urinary ATX concentrations were higher in subjects with membranous nephropathy and systemic lupus erythematosus than in the control subjects. CONCLUSIONS Urinary ATX might be associated with pathological conditions of the kidney associated with kidney injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Common chromosome 9p21 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) increase coronary heart disease risk, independent of traditional lipid risk factors. However, lipids comprise large numbers of structurally related molecules not measured in traditional risk measurements, and many have inflammatory bioactivities. Here, we applied lipidomic and genomic approaches to 3 model systems to characterize lipid metabolic changes in common Chr9p21 SNPs, which confer ≈30% elevated coronary heart disease risk associated with altered expression of ANRIL, a long ncRNA. METHODS Untargeted and targeted lipidomics was applied to plasma from NPHSII (Northwick Park Heart Study II) homozygotes for AA or GG in rs10757274, followed by correlation and network analysis. To identify candidate genes, transcriptomic data from shRNA downregulation of ANRIL in HEK-293 cells was mined. Transcriptional data from vascular smooth muscle cells differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells of individuals with/without Chr9p21 risk, nonrisk alleles, and corresponding knockout isogenic lines were next examined. Last, an in-silico analysis of miRNAs was conducted to identify how ANRIL might control lysoPL (lysophosphospholipid)/lysoPA (lysophosphatidic acid) genes. RESULTS Elevated risk GG correlated with reduced lysoPLs, lysoPA, and ATX (autotaxin). Five other risk SNPs did not show this phenotype. LysoPL-lysoPA interconversion was uncoupled from ATX in GG plasma, suggesting metabolic dysregulation. Significantly altered expression of several lysoPL/lysoPA metabolizing enzymes was found in HEK cells lacking ANRIL. In the vascular smooth muscle cells data set, the presence of risk alleles associated with altered expression of several lysoPL/lysoPA enzymes. Deletion of the risk locus reversed the expression of several lysoPL/lysoPA genes to nonrisk haplotype levels. Genes that were altered across both cell data sets were DGKA, MBOAT2, PLPP1, and LPL. The in-silico analysis identified 4 ANRIL-regulated miRNAs that control lysoPL genes as miR-186-3p, miR-34a-3p, miR-122-5p, and miR-34a-5p. CONCLUSIONS A Chr9p21 risk SNP associates with complex alterations in immune-bioactive phospholipids and their metabolism. Lipid metabolites and genomic pathways associated with coronary heart disease pathogenesis in Chr9p21 and ANRIL-associated disease are demonstrated.

Abstract
Cauda equina compression (CEC) is a major cause of neurogenic claudication and progresses to neuropathic pain (NP). A lipid mediator, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), is known to induce NP via the LPA1 receptor. To know a possible mechanism of LPA production in neurogenic claudication, we determined the levels of LPA, lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and LPA-producing enzyme autotaxin (ATX), in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and spinal cord (SC) using a CEC as a possible model of neurogenic claudication. Using silicon blocks within the lumbar epidural space, we developed a CEC model in rats with motor dysfunction. LPC and LPA levels in the CSF were significantly increased from day 1. Importantly, specific LPA species (16:0, 18:2, 20:4) were upregulated, which have been shown to produce by ATX detected in the CSF, without changes on its level. In SC, the LPC and LPA levels did not change, but mass spectrometry imaging analysis revealed that LPC was present in a region where the silicon blocks were inserted. These results propose a model for LPA production in SC and CSF upon neurogenic claudication that LPC produced locally by tissue damages is converted to LPA by ATX, which then leak out into the CSF.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs) are bioactive radyl hydrocarbon-substituted derivatives of glycerol 3-phosphate. LPA metabolism and signaling are implicated in heritable risk of coronary artery disease. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of these processes attenuate experimental atherosclerosis. LPA accumulates in atheromas, which may be a consequence of association with LDLs. The source, regulation, and biological activity of LDL-associated LPA are unknown. We examined the effects of experimental hyperlipidemia on the levels and distribution of circulating LPA in mice. The majority of plasma LPA was associated with albumin in plasma from wild-type mice fed normal chow. LDL-associated LPA was increased in plasma from high-fat Western diet-fed mice that are genetically prone to hyperlipidemia (LDL receptor knockout or activated proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9-overexpressing C57Bl6). Adipose-specific deficiency of the ENPP2 gene encoding the LPA-generating secreted lysophospholipase D, autotaxin (ATX), attenuated these Western diet-dependent increases in LPA. ATX-dependent increases in LDL-associated LPA were observed in isolated incubated plasma. ATX acted directly on LDL-associated lysophospholipid substrates in vitro. LDL from all human subjects examined contained LPA and was decreased by lipid-lowering drug therapies. Human and mouse plasma therefore contains a diet-sensitive LDL-associated LPA pool that might contribute to the cardiovascular disease-promoting effects of LPA.

Abstract
Lysophospholipids (LPLs) are known to have potentially important roles in the initiation and maintenance of neuropathic pain in animal models. This study investigated the association between the clinical severity of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of LPLs, using human samples. We prospectively identified twenty-eight patients with LSS and fifteen controls with idiopathic scoliosis or bladder cancer without neurological symptoms. We quantified LPLs from CSF using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. We assessed clinical outcome measures of LSS (Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) and Zurich Claudication Questionnaire (ZCQ)) and categorized patients into two groups according to their severity. Five species of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), nine species of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), and one species of lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) were detected. The CSF levels of all species of LPLs were significantly higher in LSS patients than controls. Patients in the severe NPSI group had significantly higher LPL levels (three species of LPA and nine species of LPC) than the mild group. Patients in the severe ZCQ group also had significantly higher LPL levels (four species of LPA and nine species of LPC). This investigation demonstrates a positive correlation between the CSF levels of LPLs and the clinical severity of LSS. LPLs are potential biomarkers for evaluating the severity of LSS.

Abstract
The phospholipid l-α-lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI), an endogenous ligand for GPR55, is elevated in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and a GPR55 antagonist cannabidiol (CBD) reduces experimental ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. While LPI activates multiple signaling pathways, little is known about which ones are important in cardiomyocytes. In this study we explored whether activation of the Rho kinase/ROCK/p38 MAPK pathway is responsible for LPI-induced extension of I/R injury. Using a high-throughput screening method (dynamic mass redistribution; DMR), mouse- and human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) cardiomyocytes exposed to LPI were shown to exhibit a rapid, sustained, and concentration-dependent (1 nmol L-1-30 μmol L-1) cellular response. Y-27632 (ROCK inhibitor; 10 & 50 μmol L-1) and CBD (1 μmol L-1) both abolished the DMR response to LPI (10 μmol L-1). In murine iPSC cardiomyocytes, LPI-induced ROCK and p38 MAPK phosphorylation, both of which were prevented by Y-27632 and CBD, but did not induce JNK activation or cleavage of caspase-3. In hearts isolated from wild type (WT) mice subjected to 30 minutes global I/R, LPI (10 μmol L-1) administered via the coronary circulation increased infarct size when applied prior to ischemia onset, but not when given at the time of reperfusion. The exacerbation of tissue injury by LPI was not seen in hearts from GPR55-/- mice or in the presence of Y-27632, confirming that injury is mediated via the GPR55/ROCK/p38 MAPK pathway. These findings suggest that raised levels of LPI in the vicinity of a developing infarct may worsen the outcome of AMI.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a well-characterized bioactive lipid mediator, which is involved in development, physiology, and pathological processes of the cardiovascular system. LPA can be produced both inside cells and in biological fluids. The majority of extracellularLPAis produced locally by the secreted lysophospholipase D, autotaxin (ATX), through its binding to various β integrins or heparin sulfate on cell surface and hydrolyzing various lysophospholipids. LPA initiates cellular signalling pathways upon binding to and activation of its G protein-coupled receptors (LPA1-6). LPA has potent effects on various blood cells and vascular cells involved in the development of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and aortic valve sclerosis. LPA signalling drives cell migration and proliferation, cytokine production, thrombosis, fibrosis, as well as angiogenesis. For instance, LPA promotes activation and aggregation of platelets through LPA5, increases expression of adhesion molecules in endothelial cells, and enhances expression of tissue factor in vascular smooth muscle cells. Furthermore, LPA induces differentiation of monocytes into macrophages and stimulates oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDLs) uptake by macrophages to form foam cells during formation of atherosclerotic lesions through LPA1-3. This review summarizes recent findings of the roles played by ATX, LPA and LPA receptors (LPARs) in atherosclerosis and calcific aortic valve disease. Targeting the ATX-LPAR axis may have potential applications for treatment of patients suffering from various cardiovascular diseases.

Molecular mechanism of lysophosphatidic acid-induced hypertensive response. Sci Rep 2019; 9:2662.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a blood-derived bioactive lipid with numerous biological activities exerted mainly through six defined G protein-coupled receptors (LPA1-LPA6). LPA was first identified as a vasoactive compound because it induced transient hypertension when injected intravenously in rodents. Here, we examined the molecular mechanism underlying the LPA-induced hypertensive response. The LPA-induced hypertensive response was significantly attenuated by pretreatment with a Rho kinase inhibitor, which blocks Gα12/13 signaling. Consistent with this, the response was weakened in KO mice of LPA4, a Gα12/13-coupling LPA receptor. KO mice of another Gα12/13-coupling LPA receptor, LPA6, also showed an attenuated LPA-induced hypertensive response. However, LPA6 KO mice also displayed attenuated pressor responses to an adrenergic agent and abnormal blood vessel formation. Using several LPA analogs with varied affinity for each LPA receptor, we found a good correlation between the hypertensive and LPA4 agonistic activities. Incubated mouse plasma, which contained abundant LPA, also induced a hypertensive response. Interestingly the response was completely abolished when the plasma was incubated in the presence of an ATX inhibitor. Together, these results indicate that circulating LPA produced by ATX contributes to the elevation of blood pressure through multiple LPA receptors, mainly LPA4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The autotaxin/lysophosphatidic acid axis is involved in diverse biological processes including neurodevelopment, inflammation, and immunological functioning. The lysophosphatidic acid 1 receptor has been implicated in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder and in the mechanism of action of antidepressants. However, it is unclear whether central or peripheral autotaxin levels are altered in patients with major depressive disorder. METHODS Serum autotaxin levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 37 patients with major depressive disorder diagnosed using DSM-IV-TR who underwent electroconvulsive therapy and were compared with those of 47 nondepressed controls matched for age and sex between January 2011 and December 2015. Patient serum levels of autotaxin before and after electroconvulsive therapy were also compared. In a separate sample set, cerebrospinal fluid autotaxin levels were compared between 26 patients with major depressive disorder and 27 nondepressed controls between December 2010 and December 2015. A potential association was examined between autotaxin levels and clinical symptoms assessed with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. RESULTS Before electroconvulsive therapy, both serum and cerebrospinal fluidautotaxin levels were significantly lower in major depressive disorder patients than in controls (serum: P = .001, cerebrospinal fluid: P = .038). A significantly negative correlation between serum, but not cerebrospinal fluid, autotaxin levels and depressive symptoms was observed (P = .032). After electroconvulsive therapy, a parallel increase in serum autotaxin levels and depressive symptoms improvement was observed (P = .005). CONCLUSION The current results suggest that serum autotaxin levels are reduced in a state-dependent manner. The reduction of cerebrospinal fluidautotaxin levels suggests a dysfunction in the autotaxin/lysophosphatidic acid axis in the brains of patients with major depressive disorder.

NEUROBIOLOGY OF PAIN (CAMBRIDGE, MASS.) 2019; 5:100020.

Abstract
We developed a mouse model for central post-stroke pain (CPSP), a centrally-originated neuropathic pain (NeuP). In this mode, mice were first injected with Rose Bengal, followed by photo-irradiation of left middle cerebral artery (MCA) to generate thrombosis. Although the MCA thrombosis was soon dissolved, the reduced blood flow remained for more than 24 h due to subsequent occlusion of microvessels. This photochemically induced thrombosis (PIT) model showed a hypersensitivity to the electrical stimulation of both sides of paw, but did not show any abnormal pain in popular thermal or mechanical nociception tests. When tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) was injected 6 h after the PIT stress, tPA-dependent hypersensitivity to the electrical paw stimulation and stable thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia on both sides for more than 17 or 18 days after the PIT treatment. These hyperalgesic effects were abolished in lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1)- and lysophosphatidic acid receptor 3 (LPA3)-deficient mice. When Ki-16425, an LPA1 and LPA3 antagonist was treated twice daily for 6 days consecutively, the thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia at day 17 and 18 were significantly reversed. The liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis revealed that there is a significant increase in several species of LPA molecules in somatosensory S-I and medial dorsal thalamus (MD), but not in striatum or ventroposterior thalamus. All these results suggest that LPA1 and LPA3 signaling play key roles in the development and maintenance of CPSP.

Abstract
The underlying mechanisms of neuropathic pain remain to be elucidated. Basic animal research has suggested that lysophosphatidic acids, which are bioactive lipids produced by autotaxin from lysophosphatidylcholine, may play key roles in the initiation and maintenance of neuropathic pain. Here, we investigated the clinical relevance of lysophosphatidic acids signaling on neuropathic pain in humans. Eighteen patients who had been diagnosed with neuropathic pain with varied etiologies participated in the study. Cerebrospinal fluid samples were obtained by lumbar puncture and the concentrations of 12 species of lysophosphatidic acids and lysophosphatidylcholine, autotaxin, and the phosphorylated neurofilament heavy subunit were measured. Pain symptoms were assessed using an 11-point numeric rating scale and the Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory regarding intensity and descriptive dimensions of neuropathic pain. The total lysophosphatidic acids were significantly associated with both pain intensity and symptoms. 18:1 and 20:4 lysophosphatidic acids in particular demonstrated the most correlations with dimensions of pain symptoms. Autotaxin and the phosphorylated neurofilament heavy subunit showed no association with pain symptoms. In conclusions, lysophosphatidic acids were significantly associated with pain symptoms in neuropathic pain patients. These results suggest that lysophosphatidic acids signaling might be a potential therapeutic target for neuropathic pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE NO produces arteriolar flow-induced dilation (FID) in healthy subjects but is replaced by mitochondria-derived hydrogen peroxide (mtH2 O2 ) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is elevated in patients with risk factors for CAD, but its functional effect in arterioles is unknown. We tested whether elevated LPA changes the mediator of FID from NO to mtH2 O2 in human visceral and subcutaneous adipose arterioles. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Arterioles were cannulated on glass micropipettes and pressurized to 60 mmHg. We recorded lumen diameter after graded increases in flow in the presence of either NOS inhibition (L-NAME) or H2 O2 scavenging (Peg-Cat) ± LPA (10 μM, 30 min), ±LPA1 /LPA3 receptor antagonist (Ki16425) or LPA2 receptor antagonist (H2L5186303). We analysed LPA receptor RNA and protein levels in human arterioles and human cultured endothelial cells. KEY RESULTS FID was inhibited by L-NAME but not Peg-Cat in untreated vessels. In vessels treated with LPA, FID was of similar magnitude but inhibited by Peg-Cat while L-NAME had no effect. Rotenone attenuated FID in vessels treated with LPA indicating mitochondria as a source of ROS. RNA transcripts from LPA1 and LPA2 but not LPA3 receptors were detected in arterioles. LPA1 but not LPA3 receptor protein was detected by Western blot. Pretreatment of vessels with an LPA1 /LPA3 , but not LPA2 , receptor antagonist prior to LPA preserved NO-mediated dilation. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These findings suggest an LPA1 receptor-dependent pathway by which LPA increases arteriolar release of mtH2 O2 as a mediator of FMD.

Abstract
β2-Glycoprotein I (β2-GPI) is a plasma protein that binds to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and negatively charged substances, and inhibits platelet activation and blood coagulation. In this study, we investigated the interaction of β2-GPI with a negatively charged lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in platelet aggregation and blood clotting. Two negatively charged lysophospholipids, LPA and lysophosphatidylserine, specifically inhibited the binding of β2-GPI to oxidized LDL in a concentration-dependent manner. Intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence studies demonstrated that emission intensity of β2-GPI decreases in an LPA-concentration-dependent manner without a shift in wavelength maxima. LPA specifically induced the aggregation of β2-GPI in phosphate-buffered saline, and in incubated plasma and serum, both of which are known to accumulate LPA by the action of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase and lysophospholipase D/autotaxin. β2-GPI aggregated by LPA did not inhibit activated von Willebrand factor-induced aggregation, and did not prolong the activated partial thromboplastin time in blood plasma, in contrast to non-aggregated β2-GPI. These results suggest that β2-GPI aggregated by the binding to LPA fails to inhibit platelet aggregation and blood clotting in contrast to non-aggregated β2-GPI.

Abstract
Activation of high affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI) by IgE/antigen complexes in mast cells (MCs) leads to the release of preformed pro-inflammatory mediators stored in granules by a Ca2+-dependent process known as anaphylactic degranulation. Degranulation inhibition has been proposed as a strategy to control allergies and chronic inflammation conditions. Cannabinoids are important inhibitors of inflammatory reactions but their effects on IgE/Ag-mediated MCs responses are not well described. In this study, we analyzed the effect of the endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA), the selective CB2 receptor agonist HU308, and the GPR55 receptor agonist lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) on FcεRI-induced activation in murine bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). Our results show that AEA, HU380 and LPI inhibited FcεRI-induced degranulation in a concentration-dependent manner. This effect was mediated by CB2 and GPR55 receptor activation through a mechanism insensitive to pertussis toxin. Degranulation inhibition was prevented by CB2 and GPR55 antagonism, but not by CB1 receptor blockage. AEA also inhibited calcium-dependent cytokine mRNA synthesis induced by FcεRI crosslinking, without affecting early phosphorylation events. In addition, AEA, HU308 and LPI inhibited intracellular Ca2+ rise in response to IgE/Ag. CB2 and GPR55 receptor antagonism could not prevent the inhibition produced by AEA and HU308, but partially blocked the one caused by LPI. These results indicate that AEA inhibits IgE/Ag-induced degranulation through a mechanism that includes the participation of CB2 and GPR55 receptors acting in close crosstalk, and show that CB2-GPR55 heteromers are important negative regulators of FcεRI-induced responses in MCs.

Abstract
Variants in the PLPP3 gene encoding for lipid phosphate phosphohydrolase 3 have been associated with susceptibility to atherosclerosis independently of classical risk factors. PLPP3 inactivates lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a pro-inflammatory, pro-thrombotic product of phospholipase activity. Here we performed the first exploratory analysis of PLPP3, LPA, and LPA receptors (LPARs 1–6) in human atherosclerosis. PLPP3 transcript and protein were repressed when comparing plaques versus normal arteries and plaques from symptomatic versus asymptomatic patients, and they were negatively associated with risk of adverse cardiovascular events. PLPP3 localized to macrophages, smooth muscle, and endothelial cells (ECs) in plaques. LPAR 2, 5, and especially 6 showed increased expression in plaques, with LPAR6 localized in ECs and positively correlated to PLPP3. Utilizing in situ mass spectrometry imaging, LPA and its precursors were found in the plaque fibrous cap, co-localizing with PLPP3 and LPAR6. In vitro, PLPP3 silencing in ECs under LPA stimulation resulted in increased expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines. LPAR6 silencing inhibited LPA-induced cell activation, but not when PLPP3 was silenced simultaneously. Our results show that repression of PLPP3 plays a key role in atherosclerosis by promoting EC activation. Altogether, the PLPP3 pathway represents a suitable target for investigations into novel therapeutic approaches to ameliorate atherosclerosis.
