[Effect of Lysophosphatidic Acid on Cell Migration and Its Relative Molecular Mechanisms]
Abstract:
Lysophosphatidic acid(LPA)is a pluripotent lipid mediator and acts via different G-protein-couple LPA receptors.LPA has significant effects on several cellular biological behaviours,such as cell migration,invasion,proliferation and differentiation,etc.Cell migration is essential for tumor progression,and vital for stem cell to repair injured tissues.Increasing evidences have demonstrated that LPA dramatically affects migration capacity of various cells,particularly cancer cells and stem cells.In this paper,we review the effect of LPA on migration of cancer cells and stem cells,and discuss the underlying mechanisms.A better understanding of this process will shed new light on tissue regeneration and the prevention of tumor progression.

Acid Strength and Molecular Structure
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...

Relative Reactivity of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
A key factor in assessing the reactivity of the acid derivatives is the basicity of the substituent or the leaving group. The lower the basicity of the leaving group, the higher the reactivity of the derivative. The basicity of the leaving group follows this order:
Halide ions < Acyloxy ions < Alkoxy ions < Amine ions
