Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a small bioactive glycerophospholipid, has been reported to play an indispensable role in the regulation of a wide range of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, morphology, differentiation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis. Besides, it has a diverse role in the development, differentiation, migration, and trafficking of immune cells. The role of LPA in the functioning of immune cells, such as macrophages, natural killer cells, T cells, and B cells has been poorly understood and is still a major thrust area for immunological research. Further, accumulating experimental evidence indicates the pro-tumoral action of LPA in various cancers, including hematological malignancies. Hematological malignancies or blood cancers are a group of neoplastic conditions derived from the cells of hematopoietic tissues. LPA is reported to promote the development and progression of cancers of hematological origin through altering apoptosis, invasion and migration, metabolism, and anti-tumor immune response. But still, the mechanistic pathways by which LPA supports the development and progression of hematological malignancies are not well explored. The present review aims to provide an elaborate survey on the role of LPA in the functioning of immune cells and its implication in hematological malignancies.
