Isolation of human eosinophil phospholipase D.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phospholipase D preferentially contained in human eosinophil polymorphonuclear leukocytes as compared to other leukocytes was isolated by sequential asion and cation exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The purified eosinophil enzyme specifically liberated choline from I-alpha-phosphatidyl choline with a pH optimum of 4.5-6.0 and exhibited a pI of 5.8-6.2 on polyacrylamide-gel isoelectric focusing, which are properties shared by phospholipase D from plant sources; however, its apparent mol wt of 60,000 is approximately one-half that of the plant enzymes. Eosinophil and cabbage phospholipase D inactivated a partially purified rat platelet-activating factor (PAF) in a time- and dose-dependent reaction. The cleavage of this PAF activity was attributed to the inherent phospholipase D activity of the eosinophil enzyme since the two activities chromatographed together at each purification step, and there was apparent reciprocal inhibition of choline-generating activity by PAF and of PAF-inactivating activity by phosphatidyl choline. Thus, possible regulatory functions of the eosinophil in immediate hypersensitivity reactions include inactivation of a PAF by phospholipase D as well as degradation of slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis by arylsulfatase B.

Additive blockade of beta 2-integrin adhesion of eosinophils by salmeterol and fluticasone propionate.
Migration of human eosinophils is regulated by integrin expression, conformational change, and activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). Corticosteroids have been shown to inhibit cPLA2 hydrolysis in human eosinophils. The objective of this study was to determine the mechanisms of fluticasone propionate (FP) alone or in combination with salmeterol (SM) in blocking adhesion mediated by b...

We examined the role of p38, p42, and p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) isoforms and cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) activation in human eosinophil adhesion to plate-coated fibronectin (FN). In the control state, eosinophil adhesion was maximal, with 10 microg/ml FN at 30 min, and decreased after 60-90 min. Western blot analysis demonstrated that p44/42 MAPK (extracellular sign...
متن کاملHuman eosinophils express, relative to other circulating leukocytes, large amounts of secretory 14-kD phospholipase A2.
Human eosinophils perform several functions dependent on phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity, most notably the synthesis of platelet-activating factor (PAF) and leukotriene C4 (LTC4). Several forms of PLA2 have been identified in mammalian cells. In the present study, the 14-kD, secretory form of PLA2 was detected in human eosinophils by immunocytochemical staining with the specific monoclonal ant...
متن کاملRegulation of eosinophil function by phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC and cytosolic PLA(2).
We examined the regulatory role of cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) and phosphatidylinositol (PI)-specific phospholipase C (PLC) in the degranulation of human eosinophils and leukotriene (LT) C(4) synthesis. Activation with formyl-Met-Leu-Phe + cytochalasin B (fMLP/B) caused a time-dependent release of eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) and LTC(4), which was inhibited by pertussis toxin. By immu...
