title: Interleukin-1 beta stimulates phospholipase A2 mRNA synthesis in rabbit articular chondrocytes.
abstract: A cDNA that codes for human rheumatoid synovial fluid phospholipase A2 (PLA2) hybridized with a RNA of the same size (900 base pairs) isolated from rabbit articular chondrocytes (RAC). Treatment of RAC with 100 ng/ml recombinant human interleukin-1 beta (IL-1) for 24 hours caused a 13-fold increase in mRNA for this PLA2. Timecourse studies demonstrated that maximal induction of PLA2 mRNA occurred by 16 hours post addition of IL-1 (100 ng/ml). Augmentation of RAC PLA2 mRNA levels was dose-dependent; half-maximal induction was estimated to require 0.15 ng/ml IL-1. Actinomycin D inhibited IL-1 effects on PLA2 mRNA levels. Coordinate effects of IL-1 on RAC PLA2 activity were observed with respect to time and dose dependence as well as actinomycin D sensitivity.
