  • The development of modulators for lysophosphatidic acid receptors: A comprehensive review

    Lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs) are bioactive phospholipids implicated in a wide range of cellular activities that regulate a diverse array of biological functions. They recognize two types of G protein-coupled receptors (LPARs): LPA1-3 receptors and LPA4-6 receptors that belong to the endothelial gene (EDG) family and non-endothelial gene family, respectively. In recent years, the LPA signaling pathway has captured an increasing amount of attention because of its involvement in various diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cancers, cardiovascular diseases and neuropathic pain, making it a promising target for drug development. While no drugs targeting LPARs have been approved by the FDA thus far, at least three antagonists have entered phase Ⅱ clinical trials for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (BMS-986020 and BMS-986278) and systemic sclerosis (SAR100842), and one radioligand (BMT-136088/18F-BMS-986327) has entered phase Ⅰ clinical trials for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This article provides an extensive review on the current status of ligand development targeting LPA receptors to modulate LPA signaling and their therapeutic potential in various diseases.

  • Characterization of a new WHIM syndrome mutant reveals mechanistic differences in regulation of ...

    Characterization of a new WHIM syndrome mutant reveals mechanistic differences in regulation of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 WHIM syndrome is a rare immunodeficiency disorder that is characterized by warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis. While several gain-of-function mutations that lead to C-terminal truncations, frame shifts and point mutations in the chemokine receptor CXCR4 have been identified in WHIM syndrome patients, the functional effect of these mutations are not fully understood. Here, we report on a new WHIM syndrome mutation that results in a frame shift within the codon for Ser339 (S339fs5) and compare the properties of S339fs5 with wild type CXCR4 and a previously identified WHIM syndrome mutant, R334X. The S339fs5 and R334X mutants exhibited significantly increased signaling compared to wild type CXCR4 including agonist-promoted calcium flux and extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation. This increase is at least partially due to a significant decrease in agonist-promoted phosphorylation, β-arrestin binding, and endocytosis of S339fs5 and R334X compared to wild type CXCR4. Interestingly, there were also significant differences in receptor degradation, with S339fs5 having a very high basal level of degradation compared to that of R334X and wild type CXCR4. In contrast to wild type CXCR4, both R334X and S339fs5 were largely insensitive to CXCL12-promoted degradation. Moreover, while basal and agonist-promoted degradation of wild type CXCR4 was effectively inhibited by the CXCR4 antagonist TE-14016, this had no effect on the degradation of the WHIM mutants. Taken together, these studies identify a new WHIM syndrome mutant, CXCR4-S339fs5, that promotes enhanced signaling, reduced phosphorylation, β-arrestin binding and endocytosis, and a very high basal rate of degradation that is not protected by antagonist treatment.
