title: Human type II phospholipase A2-induced Mac-1 expression on human neutrophils.
abstract: To investigate the effect of type II phospholipase A2 (PLA2-II) on neutrophil function, we assessed the Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) expression on human neutrophils by flow cytometry after incubation of the cells with human PLA2-II. PLA2-II at a concentration of 10 microg/mL increased the Mac-1 expression by 150% compared with unstimulated cells at 30 min and after. Under these conditions PLA2-II increased the exocytosis from secretory vesicles but not from azurophilic, specific, or gelatinase granules. The results suggest that PLA2-II induces translocation of Mac-1 from the secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane. The Mac-1 induction mediated by PLA2-II was inhibited by an anti-PLA2-II antibody, which was able to inhibit the catalytic activity. However, the Mac-1 induction by PLA2-II was not inhibited by a 5-lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase inhibitor, or a platelet-activating factor antagonist. Thus, we examined the effects of fatty acids and lysophospholipids on Mac-1 expression. Only arachidonic acid induced Mac-1 expression. These results imply that PLA2-II induces Mac-1 expression on neutrophils via production of arachidonic acid.
