Lysophosphatidic Acid Signaling in the Gastrointestinal SystemSummary

The intestinal epithelium undergoes continuous homeostatic renewal to conduct the digestion and absorption of nutrients. At the same time, the intestinal epithelial barrier separates the host from the intestinal lumen, preventing systemic infection from enteric pathogens. To maintain homeostasis and...

description The intestinal epithelium undergoes continuous homeostatic renewal to conduct the digestion and absorption of nutrients. At the same time, the intestinal epithelial barrier separates the host from the intestinal lumen, preventing systemic infection from enteric pathogens. To maintain homeostasis and epithelial functionality, stem cells, which reside in the base of intestinal crypts, generate progenitor cells that ultimately differentiate to produce an array of secretory and absorptive cells. Intestinal regeneration is regulated by niche signaling pathways, specifically, Wnt, bone morphogenetic protein, Notch, and epidermal growth factor. In addition, growth factors and other peptides have emerged as potential modulators of intestinal repair and inflammation through their roles in cellular proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is such a factor that modulates the proliferation, survival, and migration of epithelial cells while also regulating trafficking of immune cells, both of which are important for tissue homeostasis. Perturbation of LPA signaling, however, has been shown to promote cancer and inflammation. This review focuses on the recent advances in LPA-mediated signaling that contribute to physiological and pathophysiological regulation of the gastrointestinal system.
