Popis: The bioactive phospholipid, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), acting through at least five distinct receptors LPA1-LPAS, plays important roles in numerous biological processes. Here we report that LPA induces osteoblastic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells hMSC-TERT. We find that hMSC-TERT mostly express two LPA receptors, LPA1 and LPA4, and undergo osteoblastic differentiation in serum-containing medium. Inhibition of LPA1 with Ki16425 completely abrogates osteogenesis, indicating that this process is mediated by LPA in the serum through activation of LPA1. In contrast to LPA1, down-regulation of LPA4 expression with shRNA significantly increases osteogenesis, suggesting that this receptor normally exerts negative effects on differentiation. Mechanistically, we find that in hMSC-TERT, LPA induces a rise in both cAMP and Ca 2+ . The rise in Ca 2+ is completely abolished by Ki16425, whereas LPA-mediated cAMP increase is not sensitive to Ki 16425. To test if LPA signaling pathways controlling osteogenesis in vitro translate into animal physiology, we evaluated the bones of LPA4-deficient mice. Consistent with the ability of LPA4 to inhibit osteoblastic differentiation of stem cells, LPA4-deficient mice have increased trabecular bone volume, number, and thickness.
