Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5 inhibits B cell antigen receptor signaling and antibody response.

ABSTRACT: Lysophospholipids have emerged as biologically important chemoattractants capable of directing lymphocyte development, trafficking, and localization. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a major lysophospholipid found systemically, and its levels are elevated in certain pathological settings, such as cancer and infections. In this study, we demonstrate that BCR signal transduction by mature murine B cells is inhibited upon LPA engagement of the LPA5 (GPR92) receptor via a Gα12/13-Arhgef1 pathway. The inhibition of BCR signaling by LPA5 manifests by impaired intracellular calcium store release and most likely by interfering with inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor activity. We further show that LPA5 also limits Ag-specific induction of CD69 and CD86 expression and that LPA5-deficient B cells dis
