The LPP family is comprised of three enzymes that dephosphorylate bioactive lipid phosphates both intracellularly and extracellularly. Pre-clinical breast cancer models have demonstrated that decreased LPP1/3 with increased LPP2 expression correlates to tumorigenesis. This though has not been well verified in human specimens. In this study, we correlate LPP expression data to clinical outcomes in over 5000 breast cancers from three independent cohorts (TCGA, METABRIC, and GSE96058), investigate biological function using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and the xCell cell-type enrichment analysis, and confirm sources of LPP production in the tumor microenvironment (TME) using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) data. Decreased LPP1/3 and increased LPP2 expression correlated to increased tumor grade, proliferation, and tumor mutational burden (all p &lt; 0.001), as well as worse overall survival (hazard ratios 1.3-1.5). Further, cytolytic activity was decreased, consistent with immune system invasion. GSEA data demonstrated multiple increased inflammatory signaling, survival, stemness, and cell signaling pathways with this phenotype across all three cohorts. scRNAseq and the xCell algorithm demonstrated that most tumor LPP1/3 was expressed by endothelial cells and tumor-associated fibroblasts and LPP2 by cancer cells (all p &lt; 0.01). Restoring the balance in LPP expression levels, particularly through LPP2 inhibition, could represent novel adjuvant therapeutic options in breast cancer treatment.
