We analyzed the role of a lysophospholipase D, autotaxin(ATX), which produces a bioactive lipid mediator, lysophospholipid(LPA). ATX is highly expressed in the high endothelial venules(HEVs) that mediate lymphocyte trafficking into lymph nodes. We found that ATX expression is highly correlated with lymphocyte extravasation at HEVs and that inhibition of ATX and LPA receptors resulted in strong impairment of lymphocyte trafficking into lymph nodes. LPA abrogated this suppression. These data strongly suggest that the ATX/ LPA axis is a positive regulator of lymphocyte extravasation at HEVs.
