Torres* Lysophospholipids have emerged as biologically important chemoattractants capable of directing lymphocyte development, traf- ficking, and localization. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a major lysophospholipid found systemically, and its levels are elevated in certain pathological settings, such as cancer and infections. In this study, we demonstrate that BCR signal transduction by mature murine B cells is inhibited upon LPA engagement of the LPA5 (GPR92) receptor via a Ga12/13-Arhgef1 pathway. The inhibition of BCR signaling by LPA5 manifests by impaired intracellular calcium store release and most likely by interfering with inositol 1,4,5- Downloaded from triphosphate receptor activity. We further show that LPA5 also limits Ag-specific induction of CD69 and CD86 expression and that LPA5-deficient B cells display enhanced Ab responses. Thus, these data show that LPA5 negatively regulates BCR signaling, B cell activation, and immune response. Our findings extend the influence of lysophospholipids on immune function and suggest that alterations in LPA levels likely influence adaptive humoral immunity.

  • The Autotaxin–Lysophosphatidic Acid Axis Modulates Histone Acetylation and Gene Expression During Oligodendrocyte Differentiation
    The Journal of Neuroscience, August 12, 2015 • 35(32):11399–11414 • 11399 Cellular/Molecular The Autotaxin–Lysophosphatidic Acid Axis Modulates Histone Acetylation and Gene Expression during Oligodendrocyte Differentiation Natalie A. Wheeler,1 James A. Lister,2 and Babette Fuss1 Departments of 1Anatomy and Neurobiology and 2Human and Molecular Genetics, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, Richmond, Virginia 23298 During development, oligodendrocytes (OLGs), the myelinating cells of the CNS, undergo a stepwise progression during which OLG progenitors, specified from neural stem/progenitor cells, differentiate into fully mature myelinating OLGs. This progression along the OLG lineage is characterized by well synchronized changes in morphology and gene expression patterns. The latter have been found to be particularly critical during the early stages of the lineage, and they have been well described to be regulated by epigenetic mechanisms, especially by the activity of the histone deacetylases HDAC1 and HDAC2. The data presented here identify the extracellular factor autotaxin (ATX) as a novel upstream signal modulating HDAC1/2 activity and gene expression in cells of the OLG lineage. Using the zebrafish as an in vivo model system as well as rodent primary OLG cultures, this functional property of ATX was found to be mediated by its lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD) activity, which has been well characterized to generate the lipid signaling molecule lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). More specifically, the lysoPLD activity of ATX was found to modulate HDAC1/2 regulated gene expression during a time window coinciding with the transition from OLG progenitor to early differentiating OLG. In contrast, HDAC1/2 regulated gene expression during the transition from neural stem/progenitor to OLG progenitor appeared unaffected by ATX and its lysoPLD activity.

Each of these three signals triggers multiple molecular processes impacting key cellular properties. The activation of PLC also triggers a sequence of biochemical reactions, collectively referred to as the PI(4,5)P2 cycle that culminates in the resynthesis of this lipid. The biochemical intermediates of this cycle and the enzymes that mediate these reactions are topologically distributed across two membrane compartments, the PM and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). At the plasma membrane, the DG formed during PLC activation is rapidly converted to phosphatidic acid (PA) that needs to be transported to the ER where the machinery for its conversion into PI is localised. Conversely, PI from the ER needs to be rapidly transferred to the plasma membrane where it can be phosphorylated by lipid kinases to regenerate PI(4,5)P2.

  • Plasma Lipidome Is Dysregulated in Alzheimer's Disease and Is
    Liu et al. Translational Psychiatry (2021) 11:344 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41398-021-01362-2 Translational Psychiatry ARTICLE Open Access Plasma lipidome is dysregulated in Alzheimer’s disease and is associated with disease risk genes Yue Liu1,2, Anbupalam Thalamuthu1, Karen A. Mather1,3, John Crawford1, Marina Ulanova1, Matthew Wai Kin Wong1, Russell Pickford4, Perminder S. Sachdev 1,5 and Nady Braidy 1,6 Abstract Lipidomics research could provide insights of pathobiological mechanisms in Alzheimer’s disease. This study explores a battery of plasma lipids that can differentiate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients from healthy controls and determines whether lipid profiles correlate with genetic risk for AD. AD plasma samples were collected from the Sydney Memory and Ageing Study (MAS) Sydney, Australia (aged range 75–97 years; 51.2% male). Untargeted lipidomics analysis was performed by liquid chromatography coupled–mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). We found that several lipid species from nine lipid classes, particularly sphingomyelins (SMs), cholesterol esters (ChEs), phosphatidylcholines (PCs), phosphatidylethanolamines (PIs), phosphatidylinositols (PIs), and triglycerides (TGs) are dysregulated in AD patients and may help discriminate them from healthy controls. However, when the lipid species were grouped together into lipid subgroups, only the DG group was significantly higher in AD. ChEs, SMs, and TGs resulted in good classification accuracy using the Glmnet algorithm (elastic net penalization for the generalized linear model [glm]) with more than 80% AUC. In general, group lipids and the lipid subclasses LPC and PE had less classification accuracy compared to the other subclasses. We also found significant increases in SMs, PIs, and the LPE/PE ratio in human U251 astroglioma cell lines exposed to pathophysiological concentrations of oligomeric Aβ42.

Received: 17 February 2010; in revised form: 4 March 2010 / Accepted: 5 March 2010 / Published: 8 March 2010 Abstract: New synthetic methods for the preparation of biologically active phospholipids and lysophospholipids (LPLs) are very important in solving problems of membrane–chemistry and biochemistry. Traditionally considered just as second-messenger molecules regulating intracellular signalling pathways, LPLs have recently shown to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes such as inflammation, reproduction, angiogenesis, tumorogenesis, atherosclerosis and nervous system regulation. Elucidation of the mechanistic details involved in the enzymological, cell-biological and membrane-biophysical roles of LPLs relies obviously on the availability of structurally diverse compounds. A variety of chemical and enzymatic routes have been reported in the literature for the synthesis of LPLs: the enzymatic transformation of natural glycerophospholipids (GPLs) using regiospecific enzymes such as phospholipases A1 (PLA1), A2 (PLA2) phospholipase D (PLD) and different lipases, the coupling of enzymatic processes with chemical transformations, the complete chemical synthesis of LPLs starting from glycerol or derivatives. In this review, chemo- enzymatic procedures leading to 1- and 2-LPLs will be described.

Read Full License Page 1/42 Abstract Background Uncontrolled proliferation is the most prominent biological feature of tumors. To rapidly proliferate and maximize the use of available nutrients, tumor cells regulate their metabolic behavior and the expression of metabolism-related genes (MRGs). In this study, we aimed to construct prognosis models for colon and rectal cancers, using MRGs to indicate the prognoses of patients. Methods We rst acquired the gene expression proles of colon and rectal cancers from the TCGA and GEO database, and utilized univariate Cox analysis, lasso regression, and multivariable cox analysis to identify MRGs for risk models. Then GSEA and KEGG functional enrichment analysis were utilized to identify the metabolism pathway of MRGs in the risk models and analyzed these genes comprehensively using GSCALite. Results Eight genes (CPT1C, PLCB2, PLA2G2D, GAMT, ENPP2, PIP4K2B, GPX3, and GSR) in the colon cancer risk model and six genes (TDO2, PKLR, GAMT, EARS2, ACO1, and WAS) in the rectal cancer risk model were identied successfully. Multivariate Cox analysis indicated that the models predicted overall survival accurately and independently for patients with colon or rectal cancer.

A PA-specific PLA2 has been signaling. However, the mechaninsm that regulate cellular reported (16), but detailed information about this enzyme is phosphatidic acid levels remain obscure. Here we describe a lacking. Another possibility is that a PLA1 might metabolize soluble phospholipase Al from bovine testis that preferentially PA to sn-2-LPA. Several PLA1 activities have been identified hydrolyzes phosphatidic acid when assayed in Triton X-100 in mammalian tissues, including one found in rat liver plasma micelles. Moreover, the enzyme hydrolyzes phosphatidic acid membrane (17), another found in rat brain cytosol (18, 19), molecular species containing two unsaturated fatty acids in and others found in lysosomes (20, 21). None of these preference to those containing a combination of saturated and enzymes, however, displays a preference for PA as a sub- unsaturated fatty acyl groups. Under certain conditions, the strate. enzyme also displays lysophospholipase activity toward In the present study, we identify and characterize a cyto- lysophosphatidic acid. The phospholipase Al is not likely to be solic PLA1 with a strong preference for PA.
