Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptors including LPA(1), LPA(2), and LPA(3) mediate lysophosphatidic acid signals. We analyzed the expression of LPA receptors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and interleukin-8 in 97 patients from normal ovary to ovarian cancer, using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. LPA2, LPA3, and VEGF expression ratios significantly increased in cancer, compared to those in non-cancerous state (P < 0.05). A significant correlation in the kxpression ratios between LPA(2) or LPA(3) and VEGF was found (gamma = 0.617, P < 0.0001; gamma = 0.431, P < 0.001) in patients with cancer. These results suggested that LPA2 and LPA3 may be involved in VEGF expression mediated by LPA signals in human ovarian oncogenesis. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
