Effect of copy number variation of PLA2G2A gene to growth traits in Chinese cattle. Gene 2022; 809:146014. [PMID: 34655722 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2021.146014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2021] [Revised: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
SIMPLE SUMMARY As a member of genetic polymorphism, copy number variation has been a commonly used method in the world for investigating effect of genetic polymorphism on gene expression. Effect of genetic polymorphism made on livestock development has been more and more important in beef cattle molecular breeding. The characteristics of Chinese cattle are excellent meat quality, tolerant to rough feeding, good environmental adaptability and so on. But there are some obvious weaknesses still exist in the process of cattle growth and development, such as weak hindquarters and growth slowly. To improve the growth performance and market competitiveness of Chinese cattle, a lot of studies have been made about finding and investigating effective molecular marker. In this study, Q-PCR and data association analysis were used for PLA2G2A gene copy number variation detection and related effect analysis in Chinese cattle. Results showed that PLA2G2A gene has a significant effect on two breeds of Chinese cattle on growth traits, which could be a basic materials and effective information of cattle molecular markers breeding. PLA2G2A, member of secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2) in superfamily of phospholipase A2, could catalyze the process of glycerophospholipids hydrolysis from position of sn-2 acyl with the release of free fatty acids and lysophospholipids. Researches about PLA2G2A gene are mostly focus on disease, including tumors and diabetes, the number of study occurred on animal breeding is weak. In this study, blood samples were collected from five breeds of Chinese cattle (Qingchuan cattle, Xianan cattle, Yunling cattle, Pinan cattle and Guyuan cattle) for PLA2G2A gene CNV type detection. SPSS 20.0 software and method of ANOVA were used to analyzed the association between types of CNV and growth traits. Results reveal that the distribution of different copy number types in different cattle breeds is different. In QC, XN and GY cattle, the frequencies of Deletion and Duplication are about 40%; in YL cattle, the frequency of Deletion type exceeds 60%; in PN cattle, the frequency of Duplication is closed to 80%. Association analysis indicate that CNV of PLA2G2A gene showed a positive effect in cattle growth: in QC cattle, Chest depth with Normal type copy number possess a increased trend (P < 0.05); individuals with Deletion type copy number have better performance on Height at sacrum, Heart girth and Body height in GY cattle (P < 0.05). The functional role and molecular mechanism of PLA2G2A gene in animal growth and development are still unclear, and it is necessary for processing a further research. This research aims to provide basic materials for molecular breeding of Chinese cattle.

Gene 2020; 742:144589. [PMID: 32179174 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2020.144589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2019] [Revised: 02/19/2020] [Accepted: 03/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes are small lipolytic hydrolases that can regulate immune responses through generation of Arachidonic Acid (AA), a precursor molecule of lipid mediators like prostaglandins, leukotrienes and thromboxanes. One of the family members of PLA2, secretory Phospholipase A2 Group IIA (PLA2G2A), was associated with different types of malignancies including prostate cancer. Elevated serum levels of PLA2G2A was found in prostate cancer (PCa) patients and associated with increased tumor grade in literature. 5'UTR regions have regulatory role in protein expression by controlling the accessibility of factors necessary for the translation initiation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms at 5'UTR regions have the potential to affect mRNA translation efficiency resulting in altered protein levels depending on structure and nucleotide content. Given that the 5'UTR polymorphism in PLA2G2A gene (rs11573156) is associated with increased serum levels of PLA2G2A, the association of this 5'UTR polymorphism with PCa susceptibility and metastasis was investigated in this study. Total of 261 PCa patients and 128 control individuals were genotyped with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Individuals with heterozygous CG genotype was found to have significantly reduced risk of PCa metastasis with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 0.405 (p = 0.028, 95%CI = 0.181-0.906), compared to the carriers of homozygous CC genotype (p > 0.05) suggesting an anti-metastatic effect for the G allele. No association was found between PCa susceptibility and Gleason score (p > 0.05) in Turkish population.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 represents a widely distributed group of peroxiredoxins that contain a single conserved cysteine in the protein monomer (1-cys Prdx). The cys when oxidized to the sulfenic form is reduced with glutathione (GSH) catalyzed by the π isoform of GSH-S-transferase. Three enzymatic activities of the protein have been described:1) peroxidase with H2O2, short chain hydroperoxides, and phospholipid hydroperoxides as substrates; 2) phospholipase A2 (PLA2); and 3) lysophosphatidylcholine acyl transferase (LPCAT). These activities have important physiological roles in antioxidant defense, turnover of cellular phospholipids, and the generation of superoxide anion via initiation of the signaling cascade for activation of NADPH oxidase (type 2). The ability of Prdx6 to reduce peroxidized cell membrane phospholipids (peroxidase activity) and also to replace the oxidized sn-2 fatty acyl group through hydrolysis/reacylation (PLA2 and LPCAT activities) provides a complete system for the repair of peroxidized cell membranes.

Abstract
In our ongoing search for bioactive metabolites from marine organisms, novel shellfish poisons have been isolated. Pinnatoxins, which are amphoteric polyether compounds, were purified from the Okinawan bivalve Pinna muricata. Pinnatoxins show acute toxicity against mice and activate Ca2+ channels. Two novel alkaloids, pinnamine and pinnaic acid, were also obtained from P. muricata. Pinnaic acid inhibits cytosolic phospholipase (cPLA2). Pteriatoxins, which are pinnatoxin analogs, were isolated from the Okinawan bivalve Pteria penguin. A nanomole-order structure determination of pteriatoxins was achieved by the detailed analysis of 2D-NMR and ESI-TOF MS/MS. This review covers the isolation, structure determination, bioactivity, synthesis, and biogenesis of these shellfish poisons and related compounds.

Abstract
Carnitine is a physiological cellular constituent that favors intracellular fatty acid transport, whose role on platelet function and O(2) free radicals has not been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to seek whether carnitine interferes with arachidonic acid metabolism and platelet function. Carnitine (10-50 microM) was able to dose dependently inhibit arachidonic acid incorporation into platelet phospholipids and agonist-induced arachidonic acid release. Incubation of platelets with carnitine dose dependently inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation, thromboxane A(2) formation, and Ca(2+) mobilization, without affecting phospholipase A(2) activation. Furthermore, carnitine inhibited platelet superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) formation elicited by arachidonic acid and collagen. To explore the underlying mechanism, arachidonic acid-stimulated platelets were incubated with NADPH. This study showed an enhanced platelet O(2)(-) formation, suggesting a role for NADPH oxidase in arachidonic acid-mediated platelet O(2)(-) production. Incubation of platelets with carnitine significantly reduced arachidonic acid-mediated NADPH oxidase activation. Moreover, the activation of protein kinase C was inhibited by 50 microM carnitine. This study shows that carnitine inhibits arachidonic acid accumulation into platelet phospholipids and in turn platelet function and arachidonic acid release elicited by platelet agonists.

Abstract
Several studies indicate that phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) expression and/or activation account for the high levels of arachidonic acid (AA) detected in cancer and, together with the elevated expression of cyclooxygenase-2, lead to cell proliferation and tumor formation. Using Caco-2 cells, a human colorectal carcinoma cell, we studied the role of high-molecular-weight PLA(2)s, cytosolic PLA(2) (cPLA(2)), and calcium-independent PLA(2) (iPLA(2)) in the AA cascade and in cell growth. Treatment with an antisense oligonucleotide against cPLA(2)alpha decreased [(3)H]AA release induced by ionophore A23187 or by a phorbol ester but did not affect the release of [(3)H]AA, [(3)H]thymidine incorporation, or Caco-2 growth induced by fetal calf serum (FCS). However, these parameters were significantly modified by iPLA(2) inhibitors and by an antisense oligonucleotide against iPLA(2)beta. Our results show that iPLA(2) was involved in AA release and the subsequent prostaglandin production induced by serum. Moreover, these data indicate that iPLA(2) may be involved in the signaling pathways involved in the control of Caco-2 proliferation.

Abstract
Previously, we reported a growth-dependent change in prostaglandin production as a consequence of a marked growth-dependent alteration in arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization from phospholipids. Our present results show that fetal calf serum (FCS) and 4 beta-phorbol-12-myristate acetate (PMA) caused an enhancement of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) activity in the membrane fraction of non-confluent cells allowing PLA(2) access to its substrate and the release of AA. Western blot analysis has shown that FCS and PMA increased secreted PLA(2) (sPLA(2)) expression in non-confluent 3T6 fibroblast cultures. Moreover, FCS and PMA induced dithiothreitol-sensitive and bromoenol lactone-sensitive PLA(2) activities in cytosol and membrane fraction. However, these stimuli did not modify significantly the PLA(2) activity in both fractions when 3T6 fibroblasts reached a high cell density. This could be associated with the impairment of AA mobilization in these cell culture conditions. On the other hand, we observed that FCS and PMA induced the same prostaglandin H synthase-2 induction in non-confluent and confluent culture conditions. Moreover, the prostaglandin E(2) levels reached in cell culture supernatants were independent of the degree of confluence when AA was added exogenously. These results suggest that the changes of intracellular distribution of PLA(2) activity of sPLA(2) and iPLA(2) stimulated by exogenous stimuli may be controlled by cell density conditions which constitute an important mechanism in the regulation of prostaglandin release.

Abstract
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids. This article reviews the source and structure of PLA2, the involvement of the enzyme in various biological and pathological phenomena, and the usefulness of PLA2 assays in laboratory diagnostics. Of particular importance is the role of PLA2 in the cellular production of mediators of inflammatory response to various stimuli. Assays for PLA2 activity and mass concentration are discussed, and the results of enzyme determinations in plasma from patients with different pathological conditions are presented. The determination of activity and mass concentration in plasma is particularly useful in the diagnosis and prognosis of pancreatitis, multiple organ failure, septic shock, and rheumatoid arthritis. A very important result is the demonstration that PLA2 is an acute phase protein, like CRP. Indeed, there is a close correlation between PLA2 mass concentration and CRP levels in several pathological conditions. Although the determination of C-reactive protein is much easier to perform and is routinely carried out in most clinical laboratories, the assessment of PLA2 activity or mass concentration has to be considered as a reliable approach to obtain a deeper understanding of some pathological conditions and may offer additional information concerning the prognosis of several disorders.

Abstract
Attachment of HeLa cells to gelatin induces the release of arachidonic acid (AA), which is essential for cell spreading. HeLa cells spreading in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ released more AA and formed more distinctive lamellipodia and filopodia than cells spreading in the absence of Ca2+. Addition of exogenous AA to cells spreading in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ restored the formation of lamellipodia and filopodia. To investigate the role of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) in regulating the differential release of AA and subsequent formation of lamellipodia and filopodia during HeLa cell adhesion, cPLA2 phosphorylation and translocation from the cytosol to the membrane were evaluated. During HeLa cell attachment and spreading in the presence of Ca2+, all cPLA2 became phosphorylated within 2 min, which is the earliest time cell attachment could be measured. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, the time for complete cPLA2 phosphorylation was lengthened to <4 min. Maximal translocation of cPLA2 from cytosol to membrane during adhesion of cells to gelatin was similar in the presence or absence of extracellular Ca2+ and remained membrane associated throughout the duration of cell spreading. The amount of total cellular cPLA2 translocated to the membrane in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ went from <20% for unspread cells to >95% for spread cells. In the absence of Ca2+ only 55-65% of the total cPLA2 was translocated to the membrane during cell spreading. The decrease in the amount translocated could account for the comparable decrease in the amount of AA released by cells during spreading without extracellular Ca2+. Although translocation of cPLA2 from cytosol to membrane was Ca2+ dependent, phosphorylation of cPLA2 was attachment dependent and could occur both on the membrane and in the cytosol. To elucidate potential activators of cPLA2, the extracellular signal-related protein kinase 2 (ERK2) and protein kinase C (PKC) were investigated. ERK2 underwent a rapid phosphorylation upon early attachment followed by a dephosphorylation. Both rates were enhanced during cell spreading in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Treatment of cells with the ERK kinase inhibitor PD98059 completely inhibited the attachment-dependent ERK2 phosphorylation but did not inhibit cell spreading, cPLA2 phosphorylation, translocation, or AA release. Activation of PKC by phorbol ester (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate) induced and attachment-dependent phosphorylation of both cPLA2 and ERK2 in suspension cells. However, in cells treated with the PKC inhibitor Calphostin C before attachment, ERK2 phosphorylation was inhibited, whereas cPLA2 translocation and phosphorylation remained unaffected. In conclusion, although cPLA2-mediated release of AA during HeLa cell attachment to a gelatin substrate was essential for cell spreading, neither ERK2 nor PKC appeared to be responsible for the attachment-induced cPLA2 phosphorylation and the release of AA.

Abstract
The immune system can influence the development and growth of tumors, including those of the colon. Most studies of immune function utilize immune cells from the blood. Colonic mucosa, however, contains independently functioning lymphocytes that may have significant impact on colon tumor formation. Dietary lipids are known to influence the development of colon tumors and the function of peripheral immune cells. This study was designed to determine dietary lipid effect colonic lymphocytes (CL). CL were isolated from rats fed a diet high in corn oil or menhaden oil and cultured for 72 hours in the presence of absence of mitogen stimulation. Fatty acid composition of CL was measured by gas chromatography. Prostaglandin E2 levels were measured in conditioned media by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. CL proliferation rates were determined by colorimetric assay and thymidine incorporation. Results showed that CL from rats fed a diet high in corn oil had greater membrane concentrations of linoleic and arachidonic acids and higher levels of prostaglandin E2 production than those from rats fed a menhaden oil diet. Mitogen stimulation did not increase CL proliferation. Antitumor effects of n-3 fatty acids in the colon may involve anti-inflammatory responses by colonic lymphocytes.

Abstract
A candidate murine tumor-suppressor gene, Mom1, has been identified as the secretory phospholipase A2 (GDB nomenclature: PLA2G2A) gene. Evidence suggests that PLA2G2A functions as a tumor-suppressor because mice lacking PLA2G2A expression demonstrate increased colonic polyposis. The human homologue of PLA2G2A has been mapped to chromosome 1p36, a region frequently implicated in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma, colon cancer and melanoma. We identified 2 alterations in the PLA2G2A gene in a single neuroblastoma cell line out of 20 examined; however, we found no mutations in 24 melanoma cell lines, 12 lymphoblastoid cell lines from patients having chromosome 1-linked familial melanoma and 10 colon cancer cell lines. Secretory phospholipase A2 is unlikely to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of these tumors.

Abstract
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) functions as the rate-limiting step in arachidonic acid metabolism and in the removal of damaged or peroxidized membrane lipids. It is elevated in some human tumors and may be involved with mechanisms of tumor promotion. In vitro systems have shown PLA2 activity to be altered by variations in fatty acid and antioxidant components. This study encompassed two objectives. First, PLA2, activity in colon tumors produced using azoxymethane (AOM) in Fischer-344 rats was examined. Secondly, this study tested the effect of iron supplementation as a potential pro-oxidant in diets of varied fatty acid composition on PLA2 activity. Diets included 35 or 140 mg/kg or iron in AIN-76A based diets high in corn oil, menhaden oil, or beef tallow. Results for the first objective showed PLA2 activity to be significantly higher in colon tumors than in normal mucosa with the increase due primarily to an increase in activity within a particulate subcellular fraction. In the second objective, fatty acid composition of colon mucosa was altered by both dietary fat and iron. Animals fed beef tallow had the highest level of oleic acid and corn oil-fed animals had the highest level of linoleic acid. Animals fed menhaden oil had the lowest level of arachidonic acid and highest level of alpha-linolenic, eicosapentaenoic, docosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids. Iron supplementation in diets high in corn oil resulted in decreased membrane composition of palmitoleic and delta-linolenic acid. In spite of these changes in membrane composition, there were no changes in PLA2 activity. These results show that PLA2 activity is increased in AOM-induced tumors but that diet alone does not influence PLA2 activity in this model.

Abstract
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity was found and measured in the cell-free supernatants of human mononuclear cells (monocytes and lymphocytes) cultured with platelets for 48 h at 37 degrees C. The relative molecular mass of purified, calcium-dependent PLA2 was 14 kD. The amount of PLA2 in the supernatants correlated positively with the number of monocytes and platelets in the cultures. Electron microscopically, direct cell-to-cell interactions of monocytes and platelets were observed. Cultivation of suspensions of human mononuclear cells with platelets in serum-free medium was found to be an efficient way to produce and purify human secretable PLA2. In the release of secretable PLA2 in peripheral blood, the interactions between platelets and monocytes may play a considerable role.

Abstract
The roles and relative contributions of secretory and cytosolic phospholipases A2 in physiology and pathology are not precisely known. In a search for differential inhibitors of these enzymes, which could serve as tools to clarify this issue, we evaluated the potencies of reference compounds and three series of new compounds, viz. substrate analogues, 1,2-amino alcohols and enolized beta-tricarbonyl derivatives, as inhibitors of secretory phospholipase A2 from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (sPLA2) and of cytosolic phospholipase A2 from human U937 cells (cPLA2). With few exceptions, the compounds selected are potent inhibitors of sPLA2 with IC50 values (concentration inhibiting 50%) in the low micromolar range. Inhibition of cPLA2 was only observed with some phosphate-free substrate analogues, with 1,2-amino alcohols and two of seven reference compounds. These results suggest that inhibition of secretory and of cytosolic phospholipases A2 are independent effects. Several inhibitors could be identified with a marked selectivity for sPLA2.

Abstract
Prostaglandins and other eicosanoids have been studied extensively in their physical, biochemical, biophysical and pharmacological aspects. However, studies on their role in tumor progression, especially metastases are relatively recent. Following a brief overview of the history of discovery and metabolism of eicosanoids and other fatty acids, we discuss the functions of these fatty acids (with emphasis on prostacyclin, thromboxane A2, 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid) in cell transformation, tumor promotion and particularly in tumor cell metastasis. The relation between these monohydroxy fatty acids and tumor cell metastasis is discussed from three different perspectives, i.e., their effects on tumor cells, on platelets and on endothelial cells. The mechanism of these effects are then addressed at cell adhesion molecule, motility, protease, cell cytoskeleton, protein kinase and eicosanoid receptor levels. Finally, regulation of three key enzymes which generate eicosanoids (phospholipase, prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase and lipoxygenase) is explored.

Abstract
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) may be grouped into distinct families of proteins that catalyse the hydrolysis of the 2-acyl bond of phospholipids and perform a variety of biological functions. The best characterized are the small (relative molecular mass approximately 14,000) calcium-dependent, secretory enzymes of diverse origin, such as pancreatic and venom PLA2s. The structures and functions of several PLA2s are known. Recently, high-resolution crystal structures of complexes of secretory PLA2s with phosphonate phospholipid analogues have provided information about the detailed stereochemistry of transition-state binding, confirming the proposed catalytic mechanism of esterolysis. By contrast, studies on mammalian nonpancreatic secretory PLA2s (s-PLA2s) have only recently begun; s-PLA2s are scarce in normal cells and tissues but large amounts are found in association with local and systemic inflammatory processes and tissue injury in animals and man. Such s-PLAs have been purified from rabbit and rat inflammatory exudate, from synovial fluid from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and from human platelets. Cloning and sequencing shows that the primary structure of the human s-PLA2 has about 37% homology with that of bovine pancreatic PLA2 and 44% homology with that of Crotalus atrox PLA2. The human s-PLA2 is an unusually basic protein, yet contains most of the highly conserved amino-acid residues and sequences characteristic of the PLA2s sequenced so far. Here we report the refined, three-dimensional crystal structure at 2.2 A resolution of recombinant human rheumatoid arthritic synovial fluid PLA2. This may aid the development of potent and specific inhibitors of this enzyme using structure-based design.
