title: Implication of three isoforms of PLA(2) in human T-cell proliferation.
abstract: We observed that human (Jurkat) T-cells constitutively expressed the mRNA, encoding for the four isoforms of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), i.e. two secretory (type IB and type V), and two cytosolic (type IV, Ca(2+)-dependent and type VI, Ca(2+)-independent). In order to assess whether these PLA(2) isoforms are active, we labeled Jurkat T-cells with [(3)H]arachidonic acid ([(3)H]AA) and determined its release into the extracellular medium in the presence of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin. The three PLA(2) isoforms seem functional as aristolochic acid and bromoenol lactone (BEL), the respective inhibitors of type IB/type V and type VI PLA(2)s, significantly inhibited the release of free [(3)H]AA. On the other hand, arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF(3)), an inhibitor of type IV PLA(2), failed to curtail significantly the release of free [(3)H]AA into the extracellular medium. We assessed the implication of these PLA(2) isoforms in transcription of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene, involved in T-cell proliferation. Hence, aristolochic acid and BEL, but not AACOCF(3), significantly inhibited the PMA and ionomycin-induced induction of mRNA of IL-2. Similarly, aristolochic acid and BEL, but not AACOCF(3), significantly inhibited the PMA and ionomycin-induced secretion of IL-2 in the culture supernatants. Together these results suggest that human Jurkat T-cells possess two secretory and two cytosolic PLA(2) isoforms and only three of them (type IB, type V and type VI) are implicated in T-cell proliferation.
