Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of ovarian cancers. Previous studies have shown that LPA stimulates the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells via G alpha(12). The present study utilizing Protein/DNA array analyses of LPA-stimulated HeyA8 cells in which the expression of G alpha(12) was silenced, demonstrates for the first time that G alpha(12)-dependent mitogenic signaling by LPA involves the atypical activation cAMPresponse element binding protein (CREB). Results indicate that the robust activation of CREB by LPA is an early event that can be monitored by the phosphorylation of SER133 of CREB as early as 3 min. The findings that the expression of the constitutively activated mutant of G alpha(12) stimulates CREB even in the absence of LPA in multiple ovarian cancer cell lines confirm the direct role of G alpha(12) in the activation of CREB. This is further substantiated by the observation that the silencing of Gan drastically attenuates LPA-stimulated phosphowlation of CREB. Our results also establish that LPA-Gceu-dependent activation of CREB is through a cAMP-independent but Ras-ERKdependent mechanism. More significantly, our findings indicate that the expression of the dominant negative S133A mutant of CREB leads to a reduction in LPA-stimulated proliferation of HeyA8 ovarian cancer cells. Thus, results presented here,demonstrate for the first time that CREB is a critical signaling node in LPA-LPAR and G alpha(12)/gep proto-oncogene stimulated oncogenic signaling in ovarian cancer cells.
