Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a low-molecular-weight lysophospholipid (LPL), which regulates endothelial cells participating in inflammation processes via interactions with endothelial differentiation gene (Edg) family G protein-coupled receptors. In this study, we attempted to determine which LPA receptors mediate the inflammatory response in human endothelial cells. Introduction of siRNA against LPA1 significantly suppressed LPA-induced ICAM-1 mRNA, total protein, and cell surface expressions, and subsequent U937 monocyte adhesion to LPA-treated human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs). By knock down of LPA1 and LPA3 in HUVECs, LPA-enhanced IL-1β mRNA expression was significantly attenuated. Moreover, LPA1 and LPA3 siRNA also inhibited LPA-enhanced IL-1-dependent long-term IL-8 and MCP-1 mRNA expression, and subsequent THP-1 cell chemotaxis toward LPA-treated HUVEC-conditioned media. These results suggest that the expression of LPA-induced inflammatory response genes is mediated by LPA1 and LPA3. Our findings suggest the possible utilization of LPA1 or LPA3 as drug targets to treat severe inflammation.Keywords
