BACKGROUND In human acute pancreatitis two different types of secretory phospholipase A2 (PLA2) have been found. AIM To analyse the specific pattern of distribution of these PLA2 activities and their pathophysiological role in experimental acute pancreatitis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Catalytic activities of secretory type I (pancreatic) and type II (non-pancreatic) PLA2 and the protein concentr...
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) levels are associated with the development of atherosclerosis. We aimed to assess the genetic determinants of Lp-PLA2 activity and mass by genotyping multiple polymorphisms in PLA2G7, the gene encoding Lp-PLA2, among 1258 participants from the Chinese Multi-provincial Cohort Study-Beijing Project. The Sequenom MassARRAY system, Taqman assay and ...
OBJECTIVE To examine the association of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) mass and activity with calcified coronary plaque in young adults. METHODS AND RESULTS Nested case-control study among CARDIA participants at the year 15 examination (2000 to 2001, 33 to 45 years old). Cases (n=266) were those with and controls (n=266) those without evidence of calcified coronary plaque b...
Cellular levels of free arachidonic acid (AA) are controlled by a deacylation/reacylation cycle whereby the fatty acid is liberated by phospholipases and reincorporated by acyltransferases. We have found that the esterification of AA into membrane phospholipids is a Ca(2+)-independent process and that it is blocked up to 60-70% by a bromoenollactone (BEL) that is a selective inhibitor of a newl...
Glucocorticoids are used clinically for the treatment of acoustic injury. However, the protective mechanism of glucocorticoid in acoustic injury has not been completely clarified. Also, the effects of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) on acoustic injury have not been examined to the best of our knowledge. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of methylprednisolone, a glucocorticoid ...
Invading bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus induce mobilization of professional phagocytes (e.g., neutrophils) and extracellular antibacterial proteins (e.g., group IIA phospholipase A2 (gIIA PLA2)). Accumulation of gIIA PLA2 in inflammatory fluids confers potent extracellular antistaphylococcal activity and at lower concentrations promotes bacterial phospholipid degradation during phagocyt...
Arachidonic acid (AA) released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is important as a substrate for eicosanoid formation and as a second messenger for superoxide anion (O2-) generation in neutrophils. Different isoforms of PLA2 in neutrophils might mobilize AA for different functions. To test this possibility, we sought to characterize the PLA2s that are activated by the neutr...
Antioxidant and inflammatory aspects of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2 ): a review
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and reactive oxygen species have been implicated both individually and synergistically in various forms of cellular injury. The form(s) of PLA2 important for cell injury and the implications of enhanced activity of the enzyme, however, have not been discerned. Previous studies reveal an increase in PLA2 activity associated with cell injury, but this association does not ...
Previously we reported that uremic plasma contained eight times more phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity than control plasma (Costello et al., Clin Chem 1990;36:198-200). That study, however, did not distinguish between various PLA2s that could contribute to the observed increase. Therefore, we developed a sandwich ELISA to specifically quantify serum type II PLA2. By ELISA, uremic sera contained ...
