Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA; 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate), an abundant constituent of serum, mediates multiple biological responses via G protein-coupled serpentine receptors. Schwann cells express the LPA receptors (Edg receptors), which, once activated, have the potential to signal through G(alphai) to activate p21(ras) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, through G(alphaq) to activate phospholipase C, or through G(q12/13) to activate the Rho pathway. We found that the addition of serum or LPA to serum-starved Schwann cells rapidly (10 min) induced the appearance of actin stress fibers via a Rho-mediated pathway. Furthermore, LPA was able to rescue Schwann cells from apoptosis in a G(alphai)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/MEK/MAPK-dependent manner. In addition, LPA increased the expression of myelin protein P-0 in Schwann cells in a G(alphai)-independent manner but dependent on protein kinase C. By means of pharmacological and overexpression approaches, we found that the novel isozyme protein kinase Cdelta was required for myelin P-0 expression. Thus, the multiple effects of LPA in Schwann cells (actin reorganization, survival. and myelin gene expression) appear to be mediated through the different G protein-dependent pathways activated by the LPA receptor.
