First published September 5, 2001; 10.1152/ajpcell.00077.2001.—Protective mechanisms for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) against cell death caused by Clostridium difficile toxin, or tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plus d-galactosamine, were investigated in a murine hepatocyte cell line AML12 expressing Edg2 LPA receptor. In these models of hepatocellular injury, LPA prevented hepatocyte damage, suppressed apoptosis, and enhanced cell survival in a dose-dependent fashion. The protective effects of LPA were abolished by wortmannin and LY-294002, specific inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate kinase (PI 3-kinase), and by PD-98059 and U-0126, inhibitors of MEK1/MEK2. In nontreated hepatocytes, LPA elicited a gradual and sustained increase in phosphorylation of Erk1/Erk2 over 180 min of stimulation and downstream phosphorylation of p90RSK and transcription factor Elk-1. In C. difficile toxin-treated cells, LPA-induced phosphorylation of Erk1/Erk2 was rapid but transient, while p90RSK and Elk-1 phosphorylation did not change significantly. LPA stimulated phosphorylation of Akt in a time-dependent manner in both intact and toxin-treated AML12 hepatocytes. Wortmannin and LY-294002 abolished phosphorylation of Akt, further supporting activation of PI 3-kinase/Akt as a signaling pathway, which mediates hepatocyte protection by LPA. Taken together, these results demonstrate that LPA prevents cell apoptosis induced by C. difficile toxin and TNF-α/d-galactosamine in the AML12 murine hepatocyte cell line. Cell protection by LPA involves activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase Erk1/Erk2 cascade and PI 3-kinase-dependent phosphorylation of Akt.
