Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid growth factor that is produced by an extracellular phospholipase, termed autotaxin (ATX), and acts via G protein-coupled receptors. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Liu et al. show that transgenic overexpression of ATX or LPA receptors leads to invasive and metastatic mammary cancer.
溶血磷脂酸(LPA)是一种脂质生长因子,由一种名为自分泌运动因子(ATX)的细胞外磷脂酶产生,并通过G蛋白偶联受体发挥作用。在本期《癌细胞》杂志中,刘等人表明,ATX或LPA受体的转基因过表达会导致侵袭性和转移性乳腺癌。
