title: A novel role of group VIB calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2gamma) in the inducible expression of group IIA secretory PLA2 in rat fibroblastic cells.
abstract: Group IIA secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-IIA) is a prototypic sPLA(2) enzyme that may play roles in modification of eicosanoid biosynthesis as well as antibacterial defense. In several cell types, inducible expression of sPLA(2) by pro-inflammatory stimuli is attenuated by group IVA cytosolic PLA(2) (cPLA(2)alpha) inhibitors such as arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone, leading to the proposal that prior activation of cPLA(2)alpha is required for de novo induction of sPLA(2). However, because of the broad specificity of several cPLA(2)alpha inhibitors used so far, a more comprehensive approach is needed to evaluate the relevance of this ambiguous pathway. Here, we provide evidence that the induction of sPLA(2)-IIA by pro-inflammatory stimuli requires group VIB calcium-independent PLA(2) (iPLA(2)gamma), rather than cPLA(2)alpha, in rat fibroblastic 3Y1 cells. Results with small interfering RNA unexpectedly showed that the cytokine induction of sPLA(2)-IIA in cPLA(2)alpha knockdown cells, in which cPLA(2)alpha protein was undetectable, was similar to that in replicate control cells. By contrast, knockdown of iPLA(2)gamma, another arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone-sensitive intracellular PLA(2), markedly reduced the cytokine-induced expression of sPLA(2)-IIA. Supporting this finding, the R-enantiomer of bromoenol lactone, an iPLA(2)gamma inhibitor, suppressed the cytokine-induced sPLA(2)-IIA expression, whereas (S)-bromoenol lactone, an iPLA(2)beta inhibitor, failed to do so. Moreover, lipopolysaccharide-stimulated sPLA(2)-IIA expression was also abolished by knockdown of iPLA(2)gamma. These findings open new insight into a novel regulatory role of iPLA(2)gamma in stimulus-coupled sPLA(2)-IIA expression.
