Assaying phospholipase A2 activity.
Mammalian cells contain many structurally and functionally diverse phospholipases A2 (PLA2) that catalyze the hydrolysis of sn-2 fatty acid from membrane phospholipid. Assays are described for measuring the activity of Group IVA cytosolic PLA2alpha(cPLAalpha) and for secreted PLA2s (sPLA2) that are suitable for purified enzymes and for measuring activity in crude cell lysates and culture medium...
متن کاملRANTES and Chemotactic Activity in Synovial Fluids From Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
A massive accumulation of inflammatory cells in synovial tissues is a major pathological feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Neutrophiles dominate synovial fluid while rheumatoid synovium is infiltrated with mononuclear cells. Mechanisms regulating influx of particular subpopulations of leukocytes into articular cavity and synovium compartment are not completely defined. An increasing amount ...
متن کاملBone resorbing activity in synovial fluids in destructive osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The synovial fluids of patients with a destructive form of osteoarthritis (DOA) were shown to contain high levels of bone resorbing activity as judged by the ability of the fluid to stimulate the release of 45Ca from labelled cultured mouse calvariae. The activity was lost on extended storage of the synovial fluids and was dependent for its effect on cellular activity in bone. Bone resorbing ac...
متن کاملImproved method for the determination of phospholipase A2 catalytic activity concentration in human serum and ascites.
An improved radiochemical method is presented for the selective determination of phospholipase A2 activity in human serum and ascites, using only commercially available reagents. The method can be applied to large quantities of samples. As substrate we used 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero(3)phosphorylcholine and phosphatidylcholine containing tritiated palmitic acid in position 2 (1-palmitoyl,2-[9,1...
متن کاملPlasma phospholipase A2 activity in patients with asthma: association with body mass index and cholesterol concentration.
BACKGROUND Secretory phospholipases A2 (sPLA2) have functions relevant to asthmatic inflammation, including eicosanoid synthesis and effects on dendritic cells and T cells. The aim of this study was to measure sPLA2 activity in patients with stable and acute asthma and to assess potential associations with body mass index (BMI), and plasma cholesterol and vitamin C concentrations. METHODS Pla...
