Endotoxic shock is a systemic inflammatory process, involving a variety of proinflammatory mediators. Two types of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) have been implicated in this process. Group IB sPLA2 (PLA2-IB) binds to the PLA2 receptor (PLA2R), and PLA2R-deficient mice exhibit resistance to endotoxin-induced lethality with reduced plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-alpha. Group IIA sPLA2 (PLA2-IIA) is found in many tissues and cell types, and local and systemic levels are elevated under numerous inflammatory conditions including sepsis. In this study, we investigated the effect of a specific sPLA2 inhibitor, indoxam, on murine endotoxic shock. Indoxam suppressed the elevation of plasma TNF-alpha with a similar potency in PLA2-IIA-expressing and PLA2-IIA-deficient mice after LPS challenge. In PLA2-IIA-deficient mice, indoxam also suppressed the elevation of plasma IL-1beta, IL-6 and NO, and prolonged survival after LPS challenge. Indoxam was found to block the PLA2-IB binding to murine PLA2R with a high potency (Ki=30 nM). The inhibitory effects of indoxam on the LPS-induced elevation of plasma TNF-alpha levels could not be observed in mice deficient in PLA2R. These findings suggest that indoxam blocks the production of proinflammatory cytokines during endotoxemia through PLA2-IIA-independent mechanisms, possibly via blockade of the PLA2R function. 相似文献

Phospholipase A(2) receptor (PLA(2)R) mediates various biological responses elicited by group IB secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-IB). The recently cloned group X sPLA(2) (sPLA(2)-X) possesses several structural features characteristic of sPLA(2)-IB. Here, we detected a specific binding site of sPLA(2)-X in mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E(1) cells. Cross-linking experiments demonstrated its molecular weight (180 kDa) to be similar to that of PLA(2)R. In fact, sPLA(2)-X was found to bind the recombinant PLA(2)R expressed in COS-7 cells, and its specific binding detected in mouse lung membranes was abolished by the deficiency of PLA(2)R. These findings demonstrate sPLA(2)-X to be one of the high-affinity ligands for mouse PLA(2)R. 相似文献

Venomous snakes have various types of phospholipase A(2) inhibitory proteins (PLIs) in their circulatory system to protect them from attack by their own phospholipase A(2)s (PLA(2)s). Here we show the first evidence for the existence of circulating PLI against secretory PLA(2)s (sPLA(2)s) in mammals. In mouse serum, we detected specific binding activities of group IB and X sPLA(2)s, which was in contrast with the absence of binding activities in serum prepared from mice deficient in PLA(2) receptor (PLA(2)R), a type I transmembrane glycoprotein related to the C-type animal lectin family. Western blot analysis after partial purification with group IB sPLA(2) affinity column confirmed the identity of serum sPLA(2)-binding protein as a soluble form of PLA(2)R (sPLA(2)R) that retained all of the extracellular domains of the membrane-bound receptor. Both purified sPLA(2)R and the recombinant soluble receptor having all of the extracellular portions blocked the biological functions of group X sPLA(2), including its potent enzymatic activity and its binding to the membrane-bound receptor. Protease inhibitor tests with PLA(2)R-overexpressing Chinese hamster ovary cells suggested that sPLA(2)R is produced by cleavage of the membrane-bound receptor by metalloproteinases. Thus, sPLA(2)R is the first example of circulating PLI that acts as an endogenous inhibitor for enzymatic activities and receptor-mediated functions of sPLA(2)s in mice. 相似文献

Secretory phospholipase A2 receptor-mediated activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 in murine bone marrow-derived mast cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The current study examined the signal transduction steps involved in the selective release of arachidonic acid (AA) induced by the addition of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) isotypes to bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC). Overexpression of sPLA2 receptors caused a marked increase in AA and PGD2 release after stimulation of BMMC, implicating sPLA2 receptors in this process. The hypothesis that the release of AA by sPLA2 involved activation of cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) was next tested. Addition of group IB PLA2 to BMMC caused a transient increase in cPLA2 activity and translocation of this activity to membrane fractions. Western analyses revealed that these changes in cPLA2 were accompanied by a time-dependent gel shift of cPLA2 induced by phosphorylation of cPLA2 at various sites. A noncatalytic ligand of the sPLA2 receptor, p-amino-phenyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside BSA, also induced an increase in cPLA2 activity in BMMC. sPLA2 receptor ligands induced the phosphorylation of p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase. Additionally, an inhibitor of p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (PD98059) significantly inhibited sPLA2-induced cPLA2 activation and AA release. sPLA2 receptor ligands also increased Ras activation while an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphorylation (herbimycin) inhibited the increase in cPLA2 activation and AA release. Addition of partially purified sPLA2 from BMMC enhanced cPLA2 activity and AA release. Similarly, overexpression of mouse groups IIA or V PLA2 in BMMC induced an increase in AA release. These data suggest that sPLA2 mediate the selective release of AA by binding to cell surface receptors and then inducing signal transduction events that lead to cPLA2 activation. 相似文献

By analyzing human embryonic kidney 293 cell transfectants stably overexpressing various types of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), we have shown that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) preferentially activate type IIA secretory PLA2 (sPLA2-IIA)-mediated arachidonic acid (AA) release from interleukin-1 (IL-1)-stimulated cells. When 293 cells prelabeled with 13H]AA were incubated with exogenous PUFAs in the presence of IL-1 and serum, there was a significant increase in [3H]AA release (in the order AA > linoleic acid > oleic acid), which was augmented markedly by sPLA2-IIA and modestly by type IV cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2), but only minimally by type VI Ca2(+)-independent PLA2, overexpression. Transfection of cPLA2 into sPLA2-IIA-expressing cells produced a synergistic increase in IL-1-dependent [3H]AA release and subsequent prostaglandin production. Our results support the proposal that prior production of AA by cPLA2 in cytokine-stimulated cells destabilizes the cellular membranes, thereby rendering them more susceptible to subsequent hydrolysis by sPLA2-IIA. 相似文献

We previously described that recombinant interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) induced the significant release of substance P (SP) via a cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway in primary cultured rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells. In the present study, we examined the involvement of two types of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes, which lie upstream of COX in the prostanoid-generating pathway, in the IL-1beta-induced release of SP from DRG cells. The expression of type IIA secretory PLA2 (sPLA2 -IIA) mRNA was undetectable by ribonuclease protection assay in non-treated DRG cells, while in DRG cells incubated with 1 ng/mL of IL-1beta, the expression was induced in a time-dependent manner. On the other hand, type IV cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2 ) mRNA was constitutively expressed in the non-treated DRG cells, and treatment with 1 ng/mL of IL-1beta for 3 h significantly increased the levels of cPLA2 mRNA. The IL-1beta-induced SP release was significantly inhibited by the sPLA2 inhibitor, thioetheramide phosphorylcholine (TEA-PC), and the cPLA2 inhibitor, arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF3 ). Furthermore AACOCF3 suppressed the induction of sPLA2 -IIA mRNA expression induced by IL-1beta. These observations suggested that two types of PLA2, sPLA2 -IIA and cPLA2, were involved in the IL-1beta-induced release of SP from DRG cells, and that the functional cross-talk between the two enzymes might help to control their activity in the prostanoid-generating system in DRG cells. These events might be key steps in the inflammation-induced hyperactivity in primary afferent neurons of spinal cord. 相似文献

Secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)), abundantly expressed in various cells including fibroblasts, is able to promote proliferation and migration. Degradation of collagenous extracellular matrix by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) plays a role in the pathogenesis of various destructive disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, tumor invasion, and metastasis. Here we show that group IB PLA(2) increased pro-MMP-2 activation in NIH3T3 fibroblasts. MMP-2 activity was stimulated by group IB PLA(2) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Consistent with MMP-2 activation, sPLA(2) decreased expression of type IV collagen. These effects are due to the reduction of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and the activation of the membrane type1-MMP (MT1-MMP). The decrease of TIMP-2 levels in conditioned media and the increase of MT1-MMP levels in plasma membrane were observed. In addition, treatment of cells with decanoyl Arg-Val-Lys-Arg-chloromethyl ketone, an inhibitor of pro-MT1-MMP, suppressed sPLA(2)-mediated MMP-2 activation, whereas treatment with bafilomycin A1, an inhibitor of H(+)-ATPase, sustained MMP-2 activation by sPLA(2). The involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and Akt in the regulation of MMP-2 activity was further suggested by the findings that PI3K and Akt were phosphorylated by sPLA(2). Expression of p85alpha and Akt mutants, or pretreatment of cells with LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor, attenuated sPLA(2)-induced MMP-2 activation and migration. Taken together, these results suggest that sPLA(2) increases the pro-MMP-2 activation and migration of fibroblasts via the PI3K and Akt-dependent pathway. Because MMP-2 is an important factor directly involved in the control of cell migration and the turnover of extracellular matrix, our study may provide a mechanism for sPLA(2)-promoted fibroblasts migration. 相似文献

Phospholipase A(2) receptor (PLA(2)R) mediates a variety of biological responses elicited by mammalian secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)). In mice, group IB sPLA(2) (sPLA(2)-IB) acts as an endogenous ligand of PLA(2)R, and analysis of PLA(2)R-deficient mice has demonstrated a critical role of the sPLA(2)-IB/PLA(2)R system in the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in the development of endotoxic shock. Here, we generated specific antibodies against a recombinant soluble form of PLA(2)R and examined its expression in the lung and spleen where a remarkable elevation of TNF-alpha expression has been observed during endotoxemia. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the expression of PLA(2)R in type II alveolar epithelial cells and a subset of splenic lymphocytes, and its expression levels were markedly enhanced at 1 h after endotoxin challenge. Analysis with a newly developed sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system revealed the presence of a soluble form of PLA(2)R in plasma of wild-type mice compared with its absence in plasma of PLA(2)R-deficient mice. After exposure to endotoxin, its circulating level was significantly elevated to the maximum level at 2-3 h after the treatment. These results suggest that tissue expression and the circulating level of PLA(2)R are elevated during murine endotoxemia, which might be relevant to its potential roles in the production of proinflammatory mediators during the development of inflammatory conditions. 相似文献

Group X secretory PLA(2) (sPLA(2)-X) is expressed in neutrophils and plays a role in the pathogenesis of neutrophil-mediated tissue inflammation and injury. This study tested the hypothesis that sPLA(2)-X in neutrophils may contribute to the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) using sPLA(2)-X(-/-) mice. AAA was created by application of CaCl(2) to external surface of aorta. As a result, the aortas of sPLA(2)-X(-/-) mice had smaller diameters (percent increase from baseline; 24.8 ± 3.5% vs. 49.9 ± 9.1%, respectively; P < 0.01), a reduced grade of elastin degradation, and lower activities of elastase and gelatinase (26% and 19% lower, respectively) after CaCl(2) treatment compared with sPLA(2)-X(+/+) mice. In sPLA(2)-X(+/+) mice, immunofluorescence microscopic images showed that the immunoreactivity of sPLA(2)-X was detected only in neutrophils within aortic walls 3 days, 1, 2, and 6 wk after CaCl(2) treatment, whereas the immunoreactivity was not detected in macrophages or mast cells in aortic walls. sPLA(2)-X immunoreactivity also was colocalized in cells expressing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9. Neutrophils isolated from sPLA(2)-X(-/-) mice had lower activities of elastase, gelatinase, and MMP-9 in response to stimuli compared with sPLA(2)-X(+/+) mice. The attenuated release of elastase and gelatinase from sPLA(2)-X(-/-) neutrophils was reversed by exogenous addition of mouse sPLA(2)-X protein. The adoptive transfer of sPLA(2)-X(+/+) neutrophils days 0 and 3 after CaCl(2) treatment reversed aortic diameters and elastin degradation grades in the lethally irradiated sPLA(2)-X(+/+) mice reconstituted with sPLA(2)-X(-/-) bone marrow to an extent similar to that seen in sPLA(2)-X(+/+) mice. In conclusion, sPLA(2)-X in neutrophils plays a pathogenic role in AAA in a mice model. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to define the role of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2), calcium-independent PLA2, and cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) in arachidonic acid (AA) release from fMLP-stimulated human neutrophils. While fMLP induced the release of extracellular sPLA2 activity and AA, 70% of sPLA2 activity remained associated with the cell. Treatment with the cell-impermeable sPLA2 inhibitors DTT or LY311-727, or the anti-sPLA2 Ab 3F10 all inactivated extracellular sPLA2 activity, but had minimal effect on neutrophil AA mass release. In contrast, coincubation of streptolysin-O toxin-permeabilized neutrophils with DTT, LY311-727, or 3F10 all decreased [3H8]AA release from [3H8]AA-labeled, fMLP-stimulated cells. Exposure to fMLP resulted in a decrease in the electrophoretic mobility of cPLA2, a finding consistent with cPLA2 phosphorylation, and stimulated the translocation of cPLA2 from cytosolic to microsomal and nuclear compartments. The role of cPLA2 was further evaluated with the cPLA2 inhibitor methyl arachidonyl fluorophosphonate, which attenuated cPLA2 activity in vitro and decreased fMLP-stimulated AA mass release by intact neutrophils, but had no effect on neutrophil sPLA2 activity. Inhibition of calcium-independent PLA2 with haloenol lactone suicide substrate had no effect on neutrophil cPLA2 activity or AA mass release. These results indicate a role for cPLA2 and an intracellular or cell-associated sPLA2 in the release of AA from fMLP-stimulated human neutrophils. 相似文献

We have recently reported that members of the heparin-binding group II subfamily of secretory PLA(2)s (sPLA(2)s) (types IIA and V), when transfected into 293 cells, released [(3)H]arachidonic acid (AA) preferentially in response to interleukin-1 (IL-1) and acted as "signaling" PLA(2)s that were functionally coupled with prostaglandin biosynthesis. Here we show that these group II subfamily sPLA(2)s and the type X sPLA(2) behave in a different manner, the former being more efficiently coupled with the prostaglandin-biosynthetic pathway than the latter, in 293 transfectants. Type X sPLA(2), which bound only minimally to cell surface proteoglycans, augmented the release of both [(3)H]AA and [(3)H]oleic acid in the presence of serum but not IL-1. Both types IIA and V sPLA(2), the AA released by which was efficiently converted to prostaglandin E(2), markedly augmented IL-1-induced expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in a heparin-sensitive fashion, whereas type X sPLA(2) lacked the ability to augment COX-2 expression, thereby exhibiting the poor prostaglandin E(2)-biosynthetic response unless either of the COX isozymes was forcibly introduced into type X sPLA(2)-expressing cells. Implication of phospholipid scramblase, an enzyme responsible for the perturbation of plasma membrane asymmetry, revealed that the scramblase-transfected cells became more sensitive to types IIA and V, but not X, sPLA(2), releasing both [(3)H]AA and [(3)H]oleic acid in an IL-1-independent manner. Thus, although phospholipid scramblase-mediated alteration in plasma membrane asymmetry actually led to the increased cellular susceptibility to the group II subfamily of sPLA(2)s, several lines of evidence suggest that it does not entirely mimic their actions on cells after IL-1 signaling. Interestingly, coexpression of type IIA or V, but not X, sPLA(2) and phospholipid scramblase resulted in a marked reduction in cell growth, revealing an unexplored antiproliferative aspect of particular classes of sPLA(2). 相似文献

Potential role of group X secretory phospholipase A(2) in cyclooxygenase-2-dependent PGE(2) formation during colon tumorigenesis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Although the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pathway of the arachidonic acid cascade has been suggested to play an important role in colon carcinogenesis, there is little information concerning the identity of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) involved in the arachidonic acid release in colon tumors. Here, we compared the potencies of three types of secretory PLA(2)s (group IB, IIA and X sPLA(2)s) for the arachidonic acid release from cultured human colon adenocarcinoma cells, and found that group X sPLA(2) has the most powerful potency in the release of arachidonic acid leading to COX-2-dependent prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) formation. Furthermore, immunohistological analysis revealed the elevated expression of group X sPLA(2) in human colon adenocarcinoma neoplastic cells in concert with augmented expression of COX-2. These findings suggest a critical role of group X sPLA(2) in the PGE(2) biosynthesis during colon tumorigenesis. 相似文献

IL-10 inhibits apoptosis of promyeloid cells by activating insulin receptor substrate-2 and phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

IL-10 is well known to be a potent inhibitor of the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines, but noninflammatory hemopoietic cells also express IL-10Rs. Here we show that IL-10 directly affects progenitor myeloid cells by protecting them from death following the removal of growth factors. Murine factor-dependent cell progenitors cultured in the absence of growth factors were 43 +/- 1% apoptotic after 12 h. Addition of IL-10 at a concentration as low as 100 pg/ml significantly reduced the apoptotic population to 32 +/- 3%. At 10 ng/ml, IL-10 caused a 4-fold reduction in the apoptotic population (11 +/- 1%). The anti-apoptotic activity of IL-10 was significantly inhibited with a neutralizing IL-10R Ab. Factor-dependent cell progenitor promyeloid cells expressed functional IL-10Rs, as assessed by precipitation of a 110-kDa protein with an Ab to the IL-10R and by the ability of IL-10 to activate Jak1 and Tyk2 and to phosphorylate tyrosine 705 on Stat-3. IL-10 increased tyrosyl phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-2 and stimulated the enzymatic activity of both phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase and Akt. The anti-apoptotic activity of IL-10 was blocked by inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase. Wortmannin and LY294002 also totally inhibited activation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK)1/2 by IL-10. Direct inhibition of ERK1/2 with the mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase inhibitor PD98059 partially, but significantly, impaired the anti-apoptotic activity of IL-10. These data establish that activation of the IL-10R promotes survival of progenitor myeloid cells. This survival-promoting activity is totally due to IL-10 stimulating the insulin receptor substrate-2/PI 3-kinase/Akt pathway, which increases the anti-apoptotic activity of ERK1/2. 相似文献

Secreted phospholipases A(2) (sPLA(2)s) form a large family of structurally related enzymes which are widespread in nature. Snake venoms are known for decades to contain a tremendous molecular diversity of sPLA(2)s which can exert a myriad of toxic and pharmacological effects. Recent studies indicate that mammalian cells also express a variety of sPLA(2)s with ten distinct members identified so far, in addition to the various other intracellular PLA(2)s. Furthermore, scanning of nucleic acid databases fueled by the different genome projects indicates that several sPLA(2)s are also present in invertebrate animals like Drosophila melanogaster as well as in plants. All of these sPLA(2)s catalyze the hydrolysis of glycerophospholipids at the sn-2 position to release free fatty acids and lysophospholipids, and thus could be important for the biosynthesis of biologically active lipid mediators. However, the recent identification of a variety of membrane and soluble proteins that bind to sPLA(2)s suggests that the sPLA(2) enzymes could also function as high affinity ligands. So far, most of the binding data have been accumulated with venom sPLA(2)s and group IB and IIA mammalian sPLA(2)s. Collectively, venom sPLA(2)s have been shown to bind to membrane and soluble mammalian proteins of the C-type lectin superfamily (M-type sPLA(2) receptor and lung surfactant proteins), to pentraxin and reticulocalbin proteins, to factor Xa and to N-type receptors. Venom sPLA(2)s also associate with three distinct types of sPLA(2) inhibitors purified from snake serum that belong to the C-type lectin superfamily, to the three-finger protein superfamily and to proteins containing leucine-rich repeats. On the other hand, mammalian group IB and IIA sPLA(2)s can bind to the M-type receptor, and group IIA sPLA(2)s can associate with lung surfactant proteins, factor Xa and proteoglycans including glypican and decorin, a mammalian protein containing a leucine-rich repeat. 相似文献

Given the potent hydrolyzing activity toward phosphatidylcholine, group X secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-X) elicits a marked release of arachidonic acid linked to the potent production of lipid mediators in various cell types. We have recently shown that sPLA(2)-X can also act as a ligand for mouse phospholipase A(2) receptor (PLA(2)R). Here, we found that sPLA(2)-X was internalized and degraded via binding to PLA(2)R associated with the diminished prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) formation in PLA(2)R-expressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells compared to CHO cells. Indirect immunocytochemical analysis revealed that internalized sPLA(2)-X was co-localized with PLA(2)R in the punctate structures in PLA(2)R-expressing CHO cells. Moreover, in mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E(1) cells that endogenously express the PLA(2)R, the internalized sPLA(2)-X was localized in lysosomes. These findings demonstrate that PLA(2)R acts as a clearance receptor for sPLA(2)-X to suppress its strong enzymatic activity. 相似文献

Inhibition of Kit expression by IL-4 and IL-10 in murine mast cells: role of STAT6 and phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The c-kit protooncogene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that is known to play a critical role in hemopoiesis and is essential for mast cell growth, differentiation, and cytokine production. Studies have shown that the Th2 cytokine IL-4 can down-regulate Kit expression on human and murine mast cells, but the mechanism of this down-regulation has remained unresolved. Using mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells, we demonstrate that IL-4-mediated Kit down-regulation requires STAT6 expression and phosphotidylinositide-3'-kinase activation. We also find that the Th2 cytokine IL-10 potently down-regulates Kit expression. IL-4 enhances IL-10-mediated inhibition in a manner that is STAT6 independent and phosphotidylinositide-3'-kinase dependent. Both IL-4- and IL-10-mediated Kit down-regulation were coupled with little or no change in c-kit mRNA levels, no significant change in Kit protein stability, but decreased total Kit protein expression. Inhibition of Kit expression by IL-4 and IL-10 resulted in a loss of Kit-mediated signaling, as evidenced by reduced IL-13 and TNF-alpha mRNA induction after stem cell factor stimulation. These data offer a role for STAT6 and phosphotidylinositide-3'-kinase in IL-4-mediated Kit down-regulation, coupled with the novel observation that IL-10 is a potent inhibitor of Kit expression and function. Regulating Kit expression and signaling may be essential to controlling mast cell-mediated inflammatory responses. 相似文献

Whereas exogenous types IB and X secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) elicited prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2)) production in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC), sPLA(2)-IIA was unable to do so. In search of a mechanism underlying this cellular refractoriness to exogenous sPLA(2)-IIA, we now report that this isozyme is promptly associated with cell surfaces, internalized, and then degraded in BMMC. Adsorption of sPLA(2)-IIA to BMMC was prevented by addition of heparin to the medium. Moreover, a heparin-nonbinding sPLA(2)-IIA mutant did not bind to BMMC. These results indicate that this sPLA(2)-IIA inactivation process depends on its rapid binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) on BMMC surfaces. Thus, the present observations represent a particular situation in which cell surface HSPG exhibit a negative regulatory effect on cellular function of sPLA(2)-IIA, and argue that HSPG does not always act as a functional adapter for heparin-binding sPLA(2)s in mammalian cells as has been demonstrated before. 相似文献

Both cytosolic PLA(2) (cPLA(2)) and secretory PLA(2) (sPLA(2)) have been implicated in pathology of cerebral ischemia. However, which of PLA(2) isoforms in astrocytes is responsible for arachidonic acid (AA) release contributing to their ischemic injury remains to be determined. The aim of the present study was to investigate the time-dependent activation of cPLA(2) and sPLA(2) in astrocytes exposed to combined oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of their pharmacological blockage as a method of preventing ischemic damage of the glial cells. It was shown that exposure of cultured astrocytes to OGD (0.5-24h) causes an increase in cPLA(2) and sPLA(2) expression and activity. The role of AA liberated mainly by cPLA(2) in the process of apoptosis was also demonstrated. To confirm the specific role of cPLA(2) and sPLA(2) in the mechanism of cells injury by OGD exposure, the effect of AACOCF(3) as cPLA(2) inhibitor and 12-epi-scalaradial as sPLA(2) inhibitor on AA release was examined. It was proved that simultaneous pharmacological blockade of enzymatic activity of cPLA(2) and sPLA(2) during OGD by AACOCF(3) and 12-epi-scalaradial substantially improves survival of ischemic injured glial cells. 相似文献

We studied the long-terms effects of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta; 3 to 6 h) on alpha-(methylamino) isobutyric acid (MeAIB), a nonmetabolizable amino acid transported by system A. We found that IL-1beta induced a large decrease in MeAIB uptake by human osteoarthritic synovial cells and a concomitant increase in prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) synthesis. Therefore, we investigated whether PGE(2) acts as a mediator for the long-term action of IL-1beta. We found that exogenous PGE(2) inhibited MeAIB uptake, and that AH6809, a PGE(2) receptor antagonist, inhibited IL-1beta-mediated MeAIB uptake. To identify the enzymes involved in the IL-1beta-mediated synthesis of PGE(2) that inhibits MeAIB uptake, we studied the expression of secreted (s) and cytosolic (c) phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)). Because both were expressed, we selected a broad spectrum of inhibitors to determine which of the two PLA(2)s was involved. We used AACOCF3, a cPLA(2) inhibitor, and dithiothreitol (DTT) and bromophenacyl bromide (BPB), which are sPLA(2) inhibitors. Our results suggest that the PLA(2) involved in the IL-1beta-mediated synthesis of PGE(2) was sPLA(2). We also showed the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and its partial involvement using a potent selective COX-2 inhibitor, L-745337. These findings provide insight into the mechanisms underlying the IL-1beta-mediated regulation of transport system A. The Il-1beta-induced inhibition of MeAIB uptake in human osteoarthritic synovial cells thus seems to be essentially mediated by PGE(2) production via the activation of sPLA(2) and the partial activation of COX-2. 相似文献
