Abstract: In recent years,the importance of autotaxin-lysophosphatidic acid(ATX-LPA)signaling pathway in the development of colorectal cancer has gradually been widely recognized by the medical community.LPA signals can induce various cellular processes including wound healing,differentiation,proliferation,migration,and survival through at least 6 G Protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs),that is,LPA1-6.It is very important to maintain the function of intestinal epithelial barrier and promote the survival,proliferation and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells.Therefore,this article reviews the relationship between the ATX-LPA signaling pathway and colorectal cancer-related inflammation discovered in recent years,and the effect of colorectal cancer-related inflammation discovered in recent years,and the effect of this signaling pathway on the development of colorectal cancer.It also reviews LPA and related molecules in colorectal cancer treatment and predicting prospects.
