Lysophophatidic acid (LPA), a low-molecular-weight lysophospholipid enriched in platelets and mildly oxidized low-density lipoproteins, is known to regulate inflammation and atherosclerosis by binding to its cognate receptors. In this study, we reported that LPA upregulated interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) expression in mouse J774A.1 macrophages. By using pharmacological inhibitors, it was suggested that G(i)/Rho activation and subsequent reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were involved in IL-1 beta induction. In addition, IL-1 beta induction by LPA was also observed in human primary macrophages. In summary, LPA is involved in the processes of inflammation by affecting macrophage behavior.
