Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) directs migration of blood monocytes to inflamed tissues. Despite the central role of chemotaxis in immune responses, the regulation of chemotaxis by signal transduction pathways and their in vivo significance remain to be thoroughly deciphered. In this study, we examined the intracellular location and functions of two recently identified regulators of chemotaxis, Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase (iPLA(2)beta) and cytosolic phospholipase (cPLA(2)alpha), and substantiate their in vivo importance. These enzymes are cytoplasmic in unstimulated monocytes. Upon MCP-1 stimulation, iPLA(2)beta is recruited to the membrane-enriched pseudopod. In contrast, cPLA(2)alpha is recruited to the endoplasmic reticulum. Although iPLA(2)beta or cPLA(2)alpha antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN)-treated monocytes display reduced speed, iPLA(2)beta also regulates directionality and actin polymerization. iPLA(2)beta or cPLA(2)alpha antisense ODN-treated adoptively transferred mouse monocytes display a profound defect in migration to the peritoneum in vivo. These converging observations reveal that iPLA(2)beta and cPLA(2)alpha regulate monocyte migration from different intracellular locations, with iPLA(2)beta acting as a critical regulator of the cellular compass, and identify them as potential targets for antiinflammatory strategies.

Activation of the cytosolic calcium-independent phospholipase A β isoform contributes to TRPC6 externalization via release of arachidonic acid.

During vascular interventions, oxidized low-density lipoprotein and lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) accumulate at the site of arterial injury, inhibiting endothelial cell (EC) migration and arterial healing. LysoPC activates canonical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6) channels, leading to a prolonged increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration that inhibits EC migration. However, an initial increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration is required to activate TRPC6, and this mechanism remains elusive.

Phospholipase A2 enzymes (PLAs) comprise a superfamily that is generally divided into six subfamilies known as cytosolic PLAs (cPLAs), calcium-independent PLAs (iPLAs), secreted PLAs (sPLAs), lysosomal PLAs, platelet-activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolases, and adipose specific PLAs. Each subfamily consists of several isozymes that possess PLA activity. The first three PLA subfamilies play important roles in inflammation-related diseases and cancer.

Increased activity of secretory phospholipases A (sPLA) type-II was previously observed in ileum of Crohn's disease (CD). Our aims were to explore the involvement of calcium-independent (i)PLAβ in the release of sPLAs from the human mast cell (MC) line (HMC-1) and investigate expressions of cytosolic (c)PLAα, iPLAβ, sPLA-IIA and sPLA-V in MCs of CD ileum. The release of sPLA was investigated in HMC-1 by immunocytochemistry and ELISA.

Background: Oxidative stress and inflammation are important factors contributing to the pathophysiology of numerous neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, acute stroke, and infections of the brain. There is well-established evidence that proinflammatory cytokines and glutamate, as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO), are produced upon microglia activation, and these are important factors contributing to inflammatory responses and cytotoxic damage to surrounding neurons and neighboring cells. Microglial cells express relatively high levels of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), an enzyme known to regulate membrane phospholipid homeostasis and release of arachidonic acid (AA) for synthesis of eicosanoids.

Deregulation of the oxidative cascade of poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has been associated with several cancers, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a metabolite of arachidonic acid (AA), is produced by B-CLL and contributes to their survival. The aim of the present study was to analyze the activity of the oxidative cascade of PUFAs in B-CLL.
