Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a simple lipid which is endogenously synthesized from lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) by autotaxin (ATX). LPA mediates a variety of cellular responses through the binding of G protein-coupled LPA receptors (LPA1 to LPA6). It is considered that LPA receptor-mediated signaling plays an important role in the pathogenesis of human malignancy. Genetic alterations and epigenetic changes of LPA receptors have been detected in some cancer cells as well as LPA per se. Moreover, LPA receptors contribute to the promotion of tumor progression, including cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, tumorigenicity, and angiogenesis. In recent studies, the activation of LPA receptor-mediated signaling regulates chemoresistance and radiosensitivity in cancer cells. This review provides an updated overview on the roles of LPA receptor-mediated signaling in the regulation of cancer cell functions and its potential utility as a molecular target for novel therapies in clinical cancer approaches.
