title: Nuclear translocation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 is induced by ATP depletion.
abstract: Phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) enzymes may play a role in cellular injury due to ATP depletion. Renal Madin-Darby canine kidney cells were subjected to ATP depletion to assess the effects of cellular energy metabolism on cytosolic PLA(2) (cPLA(2)) regulation. ATP depletion results in a decrease in soluble cPLA(2) activity and an increase in membrane-associated activity, which is reversed upon restoration of ATP levels by addition of dextrose. In ATP-depleted cells cPLA(2) mass shifts from cytosol to nuclear fractions. GFP-cPLA(2) is localized at the nuclear membrane of stably transfected ATP-depleted LLC-PK(1) cells under conditions where [Ca(2+)](i) is known to increase. cPLA(2) translocation does not occur if the increase in [Ca(2+)](i) increase is inhibited. If [Ca(2+)](i) is allowed to increase when ATP is depleted and the cells are then lysed, cPLA(2) remains associated with nuclear fractions even if the homogenate [Ca(2+)] is markedly reduced. In contrast, cPLA(2), which becomes associated with the nucleus when [Ca(2+)](i) is increased using ionophore, readily dissociates from the nuclear fractions of ATP-replete cells upon reduction of homogenate [Ca(2+)]. Okadaic acid inhibits the ATP depletion-induced association of cPLA(2) with nuclear fractions. Thus energy deprivation results in [Ca(2+)]-induced nuclear translocation, which is partially prevented by a phosphatase inhibitor.
