Abstract

We report that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) stimulates dynamic calcium (Ca2+) fluctuations and morphological rearrangements in astrocytes derived from neonatal rat spinal cord. Addition of 10 microM LPA elicited single Ca2+ transients, or biphasic oscillations and sustained increases in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i). The biphasic Ca2+ response consisted of an initial release from intracellular stores, often followed by a sustained elevation or continued oscillations that required Ca2+ flux across the cell membrane. The type of Ca2+ response, but not the overall magnitude, was dependent on LPA concentration. Higher concentrations (> 10 microM) often elicited sustained increases in [Ca2+]i, while lower concentrations stimulated oscillations or single Ca2+ transients. It has previously been established that agents that elevate cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) induce flat astrocytes to adopt a more stellate morphology. LPA can completely reverse this morphological change at a half-maximal concentration of 215 nM. Inhibiting LPA-induced [Ca2+]i fluctuations using BAPTA-AM to buffer [Ca2+]i and EGTA in the bath to prevent transmembrane flux had little effect on the ability of LPA to reverse stellation. LPA is found bound to serum ...Continue Reading
