Localization and functional interrelationships among cytosolic Group IV, secreted Group V, and Ca2+-independent Group VI phospholipase A2s in P388D1 macrophages using GFP/RFP constructs.
P388D(1) cells exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mobilize arachidonic acid (AA) for prostaglandin synthesis in two temporally distinct pathways. The "immediate pathway" is triggered within minutes by receptor agonists such as platelet-activating factor (PAF) but only if the cells have previously been primed with LPS for 1 h. The "delayed pathway" occurs in response to LPS alone over the course of several hours. We have now investigated the subcellular localization of both the Group IV cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) and the Group V secreted PLA(2) (sPLA(2)) during these two temporally distinct routes of AA release. We have prepared cells overexpressing fusion proteins of sPLA(2)-GFP and cPLA(2)-RFP. In the resting cells, cPLA(2)-RFP was uniformly located throughout the cytoplasm, and short-term treatment with LPS did not induce translocation to perinuclear and/or Golgi membranes. However, such a translocation occurred almost immediately after the addition of PAF to the cells. Long-term exposure of the cells to LPS led to the translocation of cPLA(2)-RFP to intracellular membranes after 3 h, and correlates with a significant release of AA in a cPLA(2)-dependent manner. At the same time period that the delayed association of cPLA(2) with perinuclear membranes is detected, an intense fluorescence arising from the sPLA(2)-GFP was found around the nucleus in the sPLA(2)-GFP stably transfected cells. In parallel with these changes, significant AA release was detected from the sPLA(2)-GFP transfectants in a cPLA(2)-dependent manner, which may reflect cross-talk between sPLA(2) and cPLA(2). The subcellular localization of the Group VIA Ca(2+)-independent PLA(2) (iPLA(2)) was also investigated. Cells overexpressing iPLA(2)-GFP showed no fluorescence changes under any activation condition. However, the iPLA(2)-GFP-expressing cells showed relatively high basal AA release, confirming a role for iPLA(2) in basal deacylation reactions. These new data illustrate the subcellular localization changes that accompany the distinct roles that each of the three kinds of PLA(2) present in P388D(1) macrophages play in AA mobilization.
