Involvement of cytosolic phospholipase A2 and secretory phospholipase A2 in arachidonic acid release from human neutrophils.
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 DT...
متن کاملEffect of bacterial endotoxin on the in vitro release of Type II phospholipase-A2 and prostaglandin E2 from human placenta.
The aim of this study was to establish the effect of bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the release of Type II phospholipase-A2 (PLA2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) from late-pregnant human placental tissue incubated in vitro. Under basal conditions, immunoreactive Type II PLA2 and PGE2 were released from tissue explants in a time-dependent manner (up to 24 h, ANOVA, P<0. 0001, n=6)....
متن کاملCloning, chromosomal mapping, and expression of a novel human secretory phospholipase A2.
Secretory phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) represent a rapidly expanding family of structurally related enzymes found in mammals as well as in insect and snake venoms. In this report, a cDNA coding for a novel sPLA2 has been isolated from human fetal lung, and its gene has been mapped to chromosome 16p13.1-p12. The mature sPLA2 protein has a molecular mass of 13.6 kDa, is acidic (pI 5.3), and made up...
متن کاملCloning and recombinant expression of a structurally novel human secreted phospholipase A2.
Mammals contain a diverse set of secreted phospholipases A(2) (sPLA(2)s) that liberate arachidonic acid from phospholipids for the production of eicosanoids and exert a variety of physiological and pathological effects. We report the cloning, recombinant expression, and kinetic properties of a novel human sPLA(2) that defines a new structural class of sPLA(2)s called group XII. The human group ...
متن کاملStructure and properties of a human non-pancreatic phospholipase A2.
We have purified a human non-pancreatic phospholipase A2 that is present in platelets and is enriched in rheumatoid synovial fluid. The enzyme is calcium-dependent, has a pH optimum of 8-10, and shows a striking preference for substrate presented in the form of Escherichia coli membranes. In the E. coli phospholipase A2 assay the phospholipase exhibits an apparent specific activity of 300 mumol...
