In this study, we observed that lysophosphatidylserine (LPS) stimulated intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) increase in leukemic cells but not in normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. LPS also stimulated [Ca(2+)](i) increase in human leukemic THP-1 cells. LPS-stimulated [Ca(2+)](i) increase was inhibited by U-73122 but not by U-73343. LPS also stimulated inositol phosphates formation in THP-1 cells, suggesting that LPS stimulates calcium signaling via phospholipase C activation. Moreover, pertussis toxin (PTX) completely inhibited [Ca(2+)](i) increase by LPS, indicating the activation of PTX-sensitive G-proteins. We also found that LPS-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase was completely inhibited by suramin, suggesting G-protein coupled receptor activation. Since LPS specifically stimulates PTX-sensitive G-proteins, phospholipase C-dependent [Ca(2+)](i) increase in leukemic cells but not normal peripheral blood leukocytes, LPS receptor may be associated with leukemia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
