title: [The cytotoxic mechanism of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in human osteosarcoma cell line TE85--(1). Implication of phospholipase A2 activity in cytotoxicity].
abstract: The cytotoxic mechanism of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in human osteosarcoma cells (TE85) was studied from the point of view of phospholipid metabolism. The TNF-induced cytotoxicity, determined by using the dye uptake method, was dose-dependent in the range of 100-10,000 U/ml. Phospholipid metabolism was analyzed in the cells labelled with [3H] arachidonic acid or [3H] glycerol. TNF stimulated the release of arachidonic acid and its metabolites from the cells in a dose-dependent manner. After TNF stimulation, the level of phosphatidylcholine (PC) decreased. Concomitantly, phospholipase A2 (PLA2) hydrolyzed PC producing a transiently increased level of lysophosphatidylcholine. ONO-RS-082, a potent PLA2 inhibitor, reduced the TNF-induced cytotoxicity and the release of arachidonic acid. These observations suggest that PLA2 may play a role in the cytotoxic effect of TNF on human osteosarcoma cells.
