Acyl-chain selectivity of the 85 kDa phospholipase A2 and of the release process in intact macrophages

Abstract: The selectivity of the intracellular 85 kDa phospholipase A2 (PLA2-85) towards fatty acids closely related to arachidonic acid has been investigated, using purified PLA2-85 from J774 cells and mixed phospholipids, dually acyl-chain-labelled in the sn-2 position. In parallel experiments, we assessed the acyl-chain selectivity of the release process in intact, dually labelled, peritoneal mouse macrophages responding to either calcium ionophore or zymosan beads in the presence of indomethacin and BSA. The results… Show more

“…A careful comparison revealed that the area showing decrease of individual PCs and that showing increase of individual LPCs only roughly overlapped with each other. Difference in substrate affinity of ischemiaupregulated brain PLA 2 [44][45][46] was likely a contributing factor to such disparity. Conversely, the distribution of LPCs represented the cumulative effects of upregulated PLA 2 toward the parenchymal PCs that was not likely represented by the change of individual PCs.…”

“…The 14-kDa PLA 2 s (type I and II) are secretory enzymes, and although they show no apparent preference for hydrolysis of AA-containing phospholipids (4,5), they have been suggested to participate in the generation of eicosanoids after first being secreted by mobilizing AA from phospholipids on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane (6 -12). The 85-kDa PLA 2 (13,14) is an intracellular enzyme with clear preference for AA-containing phospholipids (5,15,16). Furthermore, the 85-kDa PLA 2 translocates to membranes in response to submicromolar concentrations of Ca 2ϩ (13,17,18) and is also regulated by phosphorylation, which results in an increase in its catalytic activity (19 -21).…”

“…n-3 FA are only a minor fraction of total PUFA and therefore less liable to be replaced. But in contrast to n-6 FA they, especially DHA that is normally the most abundant of the n-3 FA in plasma, do not appear to be effectively released from glycerolipids by phospholipases [29] (Fig. 3).…”
