title: Cycloheximide-induced cPLA(2) activation is via the MKP-1 down-regulation and ERK activation.
abstract: Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-dependent phosphorylation is an important regulator for cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)). In this study, we found that the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide can potentiate thapsigargin-induced arachidonic acid (AA) release concomitant with ERK phosphorylation from murine RAW 264.7 macrophages. The cycloheximide effect is not due to the activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) nor c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK), because the activator of both MAPKs anisomycin does not elicit AA release. Cycloheximide effect is additive to the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor orthovanadate since these two stimuli induced sustained ERK activation respectively through inhibition of the translation and activity of MAPK phosphatase-1 (MKP-1).
