Synovial fluid phospholipase A2s and inflammation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The activation of phospholipase A2 is believed to have an important role in the inflammatory process owing to its induction of eicosanoids, platelet activating factor, and other mediators. Soluble phospholipase A2 has been associated with exudates in different inflammatory conditions. In this review the general physiology and control of this enzyme and, in particular, the most recent findings on human synovial fluid phospholipase A2s are discussed.

Structure 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...

Human secreted phospholipase A2s have been shown to promote inflammation in mammals by catalyzing the first step of the arachidonic acid pathway by breaking down phospholipids, producing fatty acids, including arachidonic acid. They bind to the membrane water interface to access their phospholipid substrates from the membrane. Their binding modes on membrane surfaces are regulated by diverse fa...

Reactive oxygen species are known to contribute to tissue damage during injury and inflammation. However, these species can also be sensed by the cells and trigger intracellular signaling cascades. This review examines recent evidence on the involvement of reactive oxygen species in lipid signaling. Attention is focused on activation of phospholipase A2s, enzymes whose action on membrane phosph...
متن کاملCharacterisation of soluble and cell associated phospholipase A2 from rheumatoid synovial fluid.
The hydrolysis of radiolabelled Escherichia coli phospholipids, and micellar dispersions of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine, were used to characterise the phospholipase A2 activity in synovial fluid from patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Cell free fractions of synovial fluid contain a phospholipase A2 enzyme that preferentially releases [14C]oleic acid from E coli biomembrane...
متن کاملA novel anti-inflammatory role for secretory phospholipase A2 in immune complex-mediated arthritis
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) catalyses the release of arachidonic acid for generation of lipid mediators of inflammation and is crucial in diverse inflammatory processes. The functions of the secretory PLA2 enzymes (sPLA2), numbering nine members in humans, are poorly understood, though they have been shown to participate in lipid mediator generation and the associated inflammation. To further under...
