title: Phospholipase A(2) is involved in thapsigargin-induced sodium influx in human lymphocytes.
abstract: Previously, we reported that emptying of intracellular Ca(2+) pools with endoplasmatic Ca(2+)-ATP-ase inhibitor thapsigargin leads to the Na(+) influx in human lymphocytes (M. Tepel et al., 1994, J. Biol. Chem. 269, 26239-26242). In the present study we examined the mechanism underlying the thapsigargin-induced Na(+) entry. We found that the thapsigargin-induced increase in Na(+) concentration was effectively inhibited by three structurally unrelated phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) inhibitors, p-bromophenacyl bromide, 3-(4-octadecyl)-benzoylacrylic acid (OBAA), and bromoenol lactone (BEL). The thapsigargin-induced Na(+) influx could be mimicked by PLA(2) exogenously added to the lymphocyte suspension. In addition, thapsigargin stimulated formation of arachidonic acid (AA), the physiological PLA(2) product. AA induced Na(+) entry in a time- and concentration-dependent fashion. Both, thapsigargin-induced Na(+) influx and AA liberation were completely inhibited in the presence of tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein but not in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+). Collectively, these data show that thapsigargin-induced Na(+) entry is associated with tyrosine kinase-dependent stimulation of PLA(2).
