Exposure of bovine pulmonary-arterial endothelial cells to the oxidant lipid t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-Bu-OOH) increases cell-membrane-associated phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity and stimulates arachidonic acid (AA) release. To test the hypothesis that a membrane-associated serine esterase plays an important role in activating PLA2, the present study was undertaken. In addition to increasing PLA...
The genes encoding group IIE phospholipase A2, abbreviated as IIE PLA2, and its 5' and 3' flanking regions of Crotalinae snakes such as Protobothrops flavoviridis, P. tokarensis, P. elegans, and Ovophis okinavensis, were found and sequenced. The genes consisted of four exons and three introns and coded for 22 or 24 amino acid residues of the signal peptides and 134 amino acid residues of the ma...
We have previously demonstrated that pancreatic PLA2 (PLA2-I) stimulates the proliferation of UIII cells, a stromal cell line derived from normal rat uterus. In order to gain further insight into the mechanism of action of PLA2-I, we have investigated the intracellular processing of PLA2-I. Either highly proliferative or growth arrested UIII cells were analyzed. Growth arrested cells were obtai...
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) constitutes a diverse superfamily of enzymes which catalyze the deacylation of phospholipids. At least four types of PLA2 are potentially involved in arachidonic acid release in cells and tissues. Since all of them catalyze the same enzymatic reaction, it is difficult to distinguish between them in mixtures of enzymes normally present in biological samples. Utilizing spe...
BACKGROUND: The phospholipase A2 (PLA2) family comprises multiple isoenzymes that vary in their physicochemical properties, cellular localizations, calcium sensitivities, and substrate specificities. Despite these differences, PLA2s share the ability to catalyze the synthesis of the precursors of the proinflammatory mediators. To investigate the potential of PLA2 as a biomarker in screening neu...
Previous studies suggested a role for calcium in CYP2E1-dependent toxicity. The possible role of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activation in this toxicity was investigated. HepG2 cells that overexpress CYP2E1 (E47 cells) exposed to arachidonic acid (AA) +Fe-NTA showed higher toxicity than control HepG2 cells not expressing CYP2E1 (C34 cells). This toxicity was inhibited by the PLA2 inhibitors aristol...
Paraquat is a pneumotoxin that causes lung injury by enhancing oxidative stress; however, the cellular responses to these redox events are undefined. We previously showed that paraquat produced selective peroxidation of phosphatidylserine that preceded apoptosis in 32D cells. We now report that the phospholipase A2(PLA2) inhibitor quinacrine can attenuate phosphatidylserine oxidation and also b...
Aims Darapladib, a potent inhibitor of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), has not reduced risk of cardiovascular disease outcomes in recent randomized trials. We aimed to test whether Lp-PLA2 enzyme activity is causally relevant to coronary heart disease. Methods In 72,657 patients with coronary heart disease and 110,218 controls in 23 epidemiological studies, we genotyped five ...
BACKGROUND The phospholipase A(2) (PLA2) family comprises multiple isoenzymes that vary in their physicochemical properties, cellular localizations, calcium sensitivities, and substrate specificities. Despite these differences, PLA2s share the ability to catalyze the synthesis of the precursors of the proinflammatory mediators. To investigate the potential of PLA2 as a biomarker in screening ne...
AIMS To identify factors that influence plasma levels and assess the prognostic value of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity in a prospective, population-based survey of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS The Bruneck study is a prospective, population-based survey initiated in 1990. Lp-PLA2 activity and baseline variables for the c...
