title: Cross-talk between group IIA-phospholipase A2 and inducible NO-synthase in rat renal mesangial cells.
abstract: Features of glomerulonephritis are expression of the inducible form of NO synthase (iNOS) as well as expression of the secretory group IIA-phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) in mesangial cells. Interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) induces both enzymes with a similar time course resulting in an increase in nitrite production and sPLA2-IIA activity. In this study we investigated the relationship between the formation of NO and sPLA2-IIA induction in rat renal mesangial cells. Incubation of mesangial cells with the NO-donor, spermine-NONOate, for 24 h induced sPLA2-IIA mRNA expression and activity, whereas S-nitroso glutathione alone had only a small stimulatory effect. Stimulation of cells with IL-1beta caused a marked increase in sPLA2-IIA mRNA and activity that were potentiated 3 fold by both NO donors. Coincubation of cells with IL-1beta and the NOS inhibitor, L-N(G) monomethylarginine (L-NMMA), caused a dose-dependent inhibition of cytokine-induced sPLA2-IIA mRNA expression and activity. sPLA2-IIA activity was not stimulated by 8-bromo-cyclic GMP indicating that NO-induced sPLA2-IIA induction is independent of cyclic GMP-mediated signal transduction. These data show that NO contributes to the expression by cytokines of sPLA2-IIA and establishes a novel type of interaction between iNOS and sPLA2-IIA in mesangial cells. This cross-talk between inflammatory mediators may help to promote and sustain an inflammatory state in the kidney.
