title: Pancreatic-type phospholipase A2 induces group II phospholipase A2 expression and prostaglandin biosynthesis in rat mesangial cells.
abstract: The effect of pancreatic group I phospholipase A2 (PLA2-I) on receptor-mediated expression of arthritic group II phospholipase A2 (PLA2-II) and its correlation with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis were examined in cultured rat mesangial cells. Scatchard analysis using 125I-PLA2-I revealed the existence of a single class of specific binding sites for PLA2-I in rat mesangial cells with an equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of 1.6 nM and a maximum binding capacity of 10.1 fmol/10(6) cells. The mammalian mature type of PLA2-I specifically recognized this binding site, whereas its inactive zymogen and mammalian PLA2-II showed much lower affinities. PLA2-I markedly increased PLA2-II mRNA levels as well as PLA2-II secretion from the cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner that was closely correlated with PGE2 production. Both PLA2-II expression and PGE2 synthesis were completely suppressed by pretreatment of the cells with actinomycin D, cycloheximide, or dexamethasone. These results strongly suggest that there may be crosstalk between PLA2-I and PLA2-II via the specific PLA2-I receptor that elicits PGE2 synthesis.
