Abstract:
PURPOSE:Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), which activates the small guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding protein Rho, was previously shown to promote migration of the rabbit corneal epithelium in culture. The signaling pathway responsible for this effect of LPA was examined in this study with a human corneal epithelial (HCE) cell line. METHODS:The activation of Rho was detected with a pull-down assay. Tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin and of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) were examined both by immunofluorescence staining and by immunoprecipitation and immunoblot analyses. Expression of integrins alpha5 and beta1 was evaluated by immunoblot analysis. RESULTS:Incubation of cells with LPA (10 micro M) for 2 min resulted in marked activation of Rho, and this effect was blocked by pretreatment with the Rho inhibitor exoenzyme C3 (2 micro g/ml) for 24 h. Tyrosine phosphorylation of both paxillin and FAK was detected in HCE cells under basal conditions by immunofluorescence staining, immunoprecipitation, and immunoblot analyses. LPA induced a concentration- and time-dependent increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin, which was maximal at a concentration of 10 micro M and a time of 2 min. Exoenzyme C3 inhibited LPA-induced paxillin phosphorylation. Neither LPA nor exoenzyme C3 affected tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK or expression of integrins alpha5 and beta1. CONCLUSIONS:LPA induces Rho activation and the consequent tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin in HCE cells, and these effects likely contribute to the promotion of corneal epithelial migration by this agent.
