Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a simple physiological lipid and exhibits a variety of cellular responses via the activation of G protein-coupled transmembrane LPA receptors (LPA receptor-1 (LPA(1)) to LPA(6)). The aim of our study was to investigate effects of LPA receptors on soft agar colony formation in colon cancer cells treated with anticancer drugs. DLD1 cells were treated with fluorouracil (5-FU) or cisplatin (CDDP) for at least six months (DLD-5FU and DLD-CDDP cells, respectively). LPAR1 gene expression was markedly elevated in DLD-5FU cells. In contrast, DLD-CDDP cells showed the high expression of LPAR6 gene. In colony formation assay, DLD-5FU cells formed markedly large-sized colonies, while no colony formation was observed in DLD1 and DLD-CDDP cells. The large-sized colonies formed in DLD-5FU cells were suppressed by LPA(1) knockdown. In contrast, LPA(6) knockdown increased the size of colonies. In addition, DLD-5FU cells were further treated with CDDP for three months (DLD-C-F cells). DLD-CDDP cells were also treated with 5-FU (DLD-F-C cells). DLD-C-F cells formed large-sized colonies, but not DLD-F-C cells, correlating with LPAR1 and LPAR6 gene expression levels. These results suggest that LPA(1) and LPA(6) may regulate the colony formation activity in DLD1 cells treated with anticancer drugs.
