Abstract
Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and β-cell dysfunction in insulin resistance associated with obesity lead to type 2 diabetes (T2D). Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from β-cells occurs via a canonical pathway that involves glucose metabolism, ATP generation, inactivation of K ATP channels, plasma membrane depolarization, and increases in cytosolic concentrations of [Ca 2+ ] c . However, optimal insulin secretion requires amplification of GSIS by increases in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling. The cAMP effectors protein kinase A (PKA) and exchange factor activated by cyclic-AMP (Epac) regulate membrane depolarization, gene expression, and trafficking and fusion of insulin granules to the plasma membrane for amplifying GSIS. The widely recognized lipid signaling generated within β-cells by the β-isoform of Ca 2+ -independent phospholipase A 2 enzyme (iPLA 2 β) participates in cAMP-stimulated insulin secretion (cSIS). Recent work has identified the role of a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activated signaling by the complement 1q like-3 (C1ql3) secreted protein in inhibiting cSIS. In the IGT state, cSIS is attenuated, and the β-cell function is reduced. Interestingly, while β-cell-specific deletion of iPLA 2 β reduces cAMP-mediated amplification of GSIS, the loss of iPLA 2 β in macrophages (MØ) confers protection against the development of glucose intolerance associated with diet-induced obesity (DIO). In this article, we discuss canonical (glucose and cAMP) and novel noncanonical (iPLA 2 β and C1ql3) pathways and how they may affect β-cell (dys)function in the context of impaired glucose intolerance associated with obesity and T2D. In conclusion, we provide a perspective that in IGT states, targeting noncanonical pathways along with canonical pathways could be a more comprehensive approach for restoring β-cell function in T2D. © 2023 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
One of the most critical steps in cereal threshing is the ease with which seeds are detached from sticky glumes. Naked grains with low glume coverage have dramatically increased threshing efficiency and seed quality. Here, we demonstrate that GC1 (Glume Coverage 1), encoding an atypical G protein γ subunit, negatively regulates sorghum glume coverage. Naturally truncated variations of GC1 C-terminus accumulate at higher protein levels and affect the stability of a patatin-related phospholipase SbpPLAII-1. A strong positive selection signature around the GC1 genic region is found in the naked sorghum cultivars. Our findings reveal a crucial event during sorghum domestication through a subtle regulation of glume development by GC1 C-terminus variation, and establish a strategy for future breeding of naked grains. Low glume coverage is the preferred for easy threshing in grain production, but the genetic basis remains unclear. Here, the authors report the gene GC1, which encodes an atypical G protein γ subunit, negatively regulates sorghum glume coverage and the naturally truncated alleles can be useful in the naked grain breeding.

Abstract
The Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2β (iPLA2β) is a member of the PLA2 family that has been proposed to have roles in multiple biological processes including membrane remodeling, cell proliferation, bone formation, male fertility, cell death, and signaling. Such involvement has led to the identification of iPLA2β activation in several diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular abnormalities, glaucoma, periodontitis, neurological disorders, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. More recently, there has been heightened interest in the role that iPLA2β plays in promoting inflammation. Recognizing the potential contribution of iPLA2β in the development of autoimmune diseases, we review this issue in the context of an iPLA2β link with macrophages and T-cells.

Abstract
Among the family of phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) are the Ca(2+)-independent PLA2s (iPLA2s) and they are designated group VI iPLA2s. In relation to secretory and cytosolic PLA2s, the iPLA2s are more recently described and details of their expression and roles in biological functions are rapidly emerging. The iPLA2s or patatin-like phospholipases (PNPLAs) are intracellular enzymes that do not require Ca(2+) for activity, and contain lipase (GXSXG) and nucleotide-binding (GXGXXG) consensus sequences. Though nine PNPLAs have been recognized, PNPLA8 (membrane-associated iPLA2γ) and PNPLA9 (cytosol-associated iPLA2β) are the most widely studied and understood. The iPLA2s manifest a variety of activities in addition to phospholipase, are ubiquitously expressed, and participate in a multitude of biological processes, including fat catabolism, cell differentiation, maintenance of mitochondrial integrity, phospholipid remodeling, cell proliferation, signal transduction, and cell death. As might be expected, increased or decreased expression of iPLA2s can have profound effects on the metabolic state, CNS function, cardiovascular performance, and cell survival; therefore, dysregulation of iPLA2s can be a critical factor in the development of many diseases. This review is aimed at providing a general framework of the current understanding of the iPLA2s and discussion of the potential mechanisms of action of the iPLA2s and related involved lipid mediators.

Abstract
Palmitate (C16:0) induces apoptosis of insulin-secreting β-cells by processes that involve generation of reactive oxygen species, and chronically elevated blood long chain free fatty acid levels are thought to contribute to β-cell lipotoxicity and the development of diabetes mellitus. Group VIA phospholipase A2 (iPLA2β) affects β-cell sensitivity to apoptosis, and here we examined iPLA2β effects on events that occur in β-cells incubated with C16:0. Such events in INS-1 insulinoma cells were found to include activation of caspase-3, expression of stress response genes (C/EBP homologous protein and activating transcription factor 4), accumulation of ceramide, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and apoptosis. All of these responses were blunted in INS-1 cells that overexpress iPLA2β, which has been proposed to facilitate repair of oxidized mitochondrial phospholipids, e.g. cardiolipin (CL), by excising oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acid residues, e.g. linoleate (C18:2), to yield lysophospholipids, e.g. monolysocardiolipin (MLCL), that can be reacylated to regenerate the native phospholipid structures. Here the MLCL content of mouse pancreatic islets was found to rise with increasing iPLA2β expression, and recombinant iPLA2β hydrolyzed CL to MLCL and released oxygenated C18:2 residues from oxidized CL in preference to native C18:2. C16:0 induced accumulation of oxidized CL species and of the oxidized phospholipid (C18:0/hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid)-glycerophosphoethanolamine, and these effects were blunted in INS-1 cells that overexpress iPLA2β, consistent with iPLA2β-mediated removal of oxidized phospholipids. C16:0 also induced iPLA2β association with INS-1 cell mitochondria, consistent with a role in mitochondrial repair. These findings indicate that iPLA2β confers significant protection of β-cells against C16:0-induced injury.

Abstract
Group VIA calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (GVIA iPLA2) has recently emerged as an important pharmaceutical target. Selective and potent GVIA iPLA2 inhibitors can be used to study its role in various neurological disorders. In the current work, we explore the significance of the introduction of a substituent in previously reported potent GVIA iPLA2 inhibitors. 1,1,1,2,2-Pentafluoro-7-(4-methoxyphenyl)heptan-3-one (GK187) is the most potent and selective GVIA iPLA2 inhibitor ever reported with a XI(50) value of 0.0001, and with no significant inhibition against GIVA cPLA2 or GV sPLA2. We also compare the inhibition of two difluoromethyl ketones on GVIA iPLA2, GIVA cPLA2, and GV sPLA2.

Abstract
Group VIB Phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)γ) is distributed in membranous organelles in which β-oxidation occurs, that is, mitochondria and peroxisomes, and is expressed by insulin-secreting pancreatic islet β-cells and INS-1 insulinoma cells, which can be injured by inflammatory cytokines, for example, IL-1β and IFN-γ, and by oxidants, for example, streptozotocin (STZ) or t-butyl-hydroperoxide (TBHP), via processes pertinent to mechanisms of β-cell loss in types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus. We find that incubating INS-1 cells with IL-1β and IFN-γ, with STZ, or with TBHP causes increased expression of iPLA(2)γ mRNA and protein. We prepared INS-1 knockdown (KD) cell lines with reduced iPLA(2)γ expression, and they proliferate more slowly than control INS-1 cells and undergo increased membrane peroxidation in response to cytokines or oxidants. Accumulation of oxidized phospholipid molecular species in STZ-treated INS-1 cells was demonstrated by LC/MS/MS scanning, and the levels in iPLA(2)γ-KD cells exceeded those in control cells. iPLA(2)γ-KD INS-1 cells also exhibited higher levels of apoptosis than control cells when incubated with STZ or with IL-1β and IFN-γ. These findings suggest that iPLA(2)γ promotes β-cell proliferation and that its expression is increased during inflammation or oxidative stress as a mechanism to mitigate membrane injury that may enhance β-cell survival.

Abstract
Pancreatic phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) plays an important role in cellular homeostasis as well as in the process of carcinogenesis. Effects of metallo-drugs used as chemotherapeutics on the activity of this enzyme are unknown. In this work, the interaction between porcine pancreatic PLA(2) and two selected transition metal complexes--tetrachloro(bipyridine) platinum(IV) ([PtCl(4)(bipy)]) and dichloro (bipyridine) ruthenium(III)chloride ([RuCl(2)(bipy)(2)]Cl)--was studied. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and fluorescence spectroscopy have been used to analyse the enzyme activity in the absence and presence of metal complexes and to verify potential binding of these drugs to the enzyme. The tested metal complexes decreased the activity of phospholipase A(2) in an uncompetitive inhibition mode. A binding of the ruthenium complex near the active site of the enzyme could be evidenced and possible modes of interaction are discussed.

Abstract
Mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species and oxidation of cardiolipin are key events in initiating apoptosis. We reported that group VIA Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)beta) localizes in and protects beta-cell mitochondria from oxidative damage during staurosporine-induced apoptosis. Here, we used iPLA(2)beta-null (iPLA(2)beta(-/-)) mice to investigate the role of iPLA(2)beta in the repair of mitochondrial membranes. We show that islets isolated from iPLA(2)beta(-/-) mice are more sensitive to staurosporine-induced apoptosis than those from wild-type littermates and that 2 wk of daily ip administration of staurosporine to iPLA(2)beta(-/-) mice impairs both the animals' glucose tolerance and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by their pancreatic islets. Moreover, the iPLA(2)beta inhibitor bromoenol lactone caused mitochondrial membrane peroxidation and cytochrome c release, and these effects were reversed by N-acetyl cysteine. The mitochondrial antioxidant N-t-butyl hydroxylamine blocked staurosporine-induced cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation in iPLA(2)beta(-/-) islets. Furthermore, the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential in INS-1 insulinoma cells caused by high glucose and fatty acid levels was attenuated by overexpressing iPLA(2)beta. Interestingly, iPLA(2)beta was expressed only at low levels in islet beta-cells from obesity- and diabetes-prone db/db mice. These findings support the hypothesis that iPLA(2)beta is important in repairing oxidized mitochondrial membrane components (e.g. cardiolipin) and that this prevents cytochrome c release in response to stimuli that otherwise induce apoptosis. The low iPLA(2)beta expression level in db/db mouse beta-cells may render them vulnerable to injury by reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Group VIA calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) (GVIA iPLA(2)) has recently emerged as a novel pharmaceutical target. We have now explored the structure-activity relationship between fluoroketones and GVIA iPLA(2) inhibition. The presence of a naphthyl group proved to be of paramount importance. 1,1,1-Trifluoro-6-(naphthalen-2-yl)hexan-2-one (FKGK18) is the most potent inhibitor of GVIA iPLA(2) (X(I)(50) = 0.0002) ever reported. Being 195 and >455 times more potent for GVIA iPLA(2) than for GIVA cPLA(2) and GV sPLA(2), respectively, makes it a valuable tool to explore the role of GVIA iPLA(2) in cells and in vivo models. 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-Heptafluoro-8-(naphthalene-2-yl)octan-4-one inhibited GVIA iPLA(2) with a X(I)(50) value of 0.001 while inhibiting the other intracellular GIVA cPLA(2) and GV sPLA(2) at least 90 times less potently. Hexa- and octafluoro ketones were also found to be potent inhibitors of GVIA iPLA(2); however, they are not selective.

Abstract
Over the past decade, important roles for the 84-88kDa Group VIA Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)beta) in various organs have been described. We demonstrated that iPLA(2)beta participates in insulin secretion, insulinoma cells and native pancreatic islets express full-length and truncated isoforms of iPLA(2)beta, and certain stimuli promote perinuclear localization of iPLA(2)beta. To gain a better understanding of its mobilization, iPLA(2)beta was expressed in INS-1 cells as a fusion protein with EGFP, enabling detection of subcellular localization of iPLA(2)beta by monitoring EGFP fluorescence. Cells stably-transfected with fusion protein expressed nearly 5-fold higher catalytic iPLA(2)beta activity than control cells transfected with EGFP cDNA alone, indicating that co-expression of EGFP does not interfere with manifestation of iPLA(2)beta activity. Dual fluorescence monitoring of EGFP and organelle Trackers combined with immunoblotting analyses revealed expression of truncated iPLA(2)beta isoforms in separate subcellular organelles. Exposure to secretagogues and induction of ER stress are known to activate iPLA(2)beta in beta-cells and we find here that these stimuli promote differential localization of iPLA(2)beta in subcellular organelles. Further, mass spectrometric analyses identified iPLA(2)beta variants from which N-terminal residues were removed. Collectively, these findings provide evidence for endogenous proteolytic processing of iPLA(2)beta and redistribution of iPLA(2)beta variants in subcellular compartments. It might be proposed that in vivo processing of iPLA(2)beta facilitates its participation in multiple biological processes.

Abstract
Activation of phospholipases A(2) (PLA(2)s) leads to the generation of biologically active lipid mediators that can affect numerous cellular events. The Group VIA Ca(2+)-independent PLA(2), designated iPLA(2)beta, is active in the absence of Ca(2+), activated by ATP, and inhibited by the bromoenol lactone suicide inhibitor (BEL). Over the past 10-15 years, studies using BEL have demonstrated that iPLA(2)beta participates in various biological processes and the recent availability of mice in which iPLA(2)beta expression levels have been genetically-modified are extending these findings. Work in our laboratory suggests that iPLA(2)beta activates a unique signaling cascade that promotes beta-cell apoptosis. This pathway involves iPLA(2)beta dependent induction of neutral sphingomyelinase, production of ceramide, and activation of the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. There is a growing body of literature supporting beta-cell apoptosis as a major contributor to the loss of beta-cell mass associated with the onset and progression of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. This underscores a need to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying beta-cell apoptosis so that improved treatments can be developed to prevent or delay the onset and progression of diabetes mellitus. Herein, we offer a general review of Group VIA Ca(2+)-independent PLA(2) (iPLA(2)beta) followed by a more focused discussion of its participation in beta-cell apoptosis. We suggest that iPLA(2)beta-derived products trigger pathways which can lead to beta-cell apoptosis during the development of diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels in prostate cancer patients serve as a useful biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring prostate cancer. Recently, secreted PSA has been characterized as an autocrine survival factor through activation of Akt and induction of AR. In the normal prostate, PSA is secreted in the lumen of prostatic ducts to lyse proteins in the seminal coagulum. METHODS However, the mechanism for constitutive PSA secretion from benign prostate and its transport across the prostate-blood barrier into serum are unknown. Regulation of peptide secretion by iPLA(2)-beta has been reported in non-prostatic tissue and in prostate tissue iPLA(2)-beta is reported to be under androgen regulation. We investigated whether iPLA(2) plays a role for in PSA secretion by comparing iPLA(2) activity and expression in normal prostate epithelial RWPE-1 cells and in LNCaP prostate cancer cells. Expression of the two active iPLA(2)-beta mRNA splice variants, LH-iPLA(2) and SH-iPLA(2), were increased and the inhibitory ankyrin-iPLA(2) isoform was markedly reduced in LNCaP cells as compared to normal prostate epithelial RWPE-1 cells. RESULTS These changes are consistent with a higher enzymatic activity in LNCaP cells. The iPLA(2)-beta-specific inhibitor BEL inhibited PSA secretion and induced apoptosis in LNCaP cells. iPLA(2) knockdown using SiRNA inhibited PSA secretion, downregulated AR and induced apoptosis. Exogenous PSA suppressed BEL-induced apoptosis and neutralizing anti-PSA antibody blocked the survival effect of PSA. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that iPLA(2)-beta participates in regulating PSA secretion and supports the concept that secreted PSA provides an autocrine survival function in LNCaP cells.

Abstract
Phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) are esterases that cleave glycerophospholipids to release fatty acids and lysophospholipids. Several studies demonstrate that PLA(2) regulate growth and signaling in several cell types. However, few of these studies have focused on Ca2+-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2) or Group VI PLA(2)). This class of PLA(2) was originally suggested to mediate phospholipid remodeling in several cell types including macrophages. As such, it was labeled as a housekeeping protein and thought not to play as significant of roles in cell growth as its older counterparts cytosolic PLA(2) (cPLA(2) or Group IV PLA(2)) and secretory PLA(2) (sPLA(2) or Groups I-III, V and IX-XIV PLA(2)). However, several recent studies demonstrate that iPLA(2) mediate cell growth, and do so by participating in signal transduction pathways that include epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR), mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK), mdm2, and even the tumor suppressor protein p53 and the cell cycle regulator p21. The exact mechanism by which iPLA(2) mediates these pathways are not known, but likely involve the generation of lipid signals such as arachidonic acid, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and lysophosphocholines (LPC). This review discusses the role of iPLA(2) in cell growth with special emphasis placed on their role in cell signaling. The putative lipid signals involved are also discussed.

Abstract
Glucose stimulates both insulin secretion and hydrolysis of arachidonic acid (AA) esterified in membrane phospholipids of pancreatic islet beta-cells, and these processes are amplified by muscarinic agonists. Here we demonstrate that nonesterified AA regulates the biophysical activity of the pancreatic islet beta-cell-delayed rectifier channel, Kv2.1. Recordings of Kv2.1 currents from INS-1 insulinoma cells incubated with AA (5 mum) and subjected to graded degrees of depolarization exhibit a significantly shorter time-to-peak current interval than do control cells. AA causes a rapid decay and reduced peak conductance of delayed rectifier currents from INS-1 cells and from primary beta-cells isolated from mouse, rat, and human pancreatic islets. Stimulating mouse islets with AA results in a significant increase in the frequency of glucose-induced [Ca(2+)] oscillations, which is an expected effect of Kv2.1 channel blockade. Stimulation with concentrations of glucose and carbachol that accelerate hydrolysis of endogenous AA from islet phosphoplipids also results in accelerated Kv2.1 inactivation and a shorter time-to-peak current interval. Group VIA phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)beta) hydrolyzes beta-cell membrane phospholipids to release nonesterified fatty acids, including AA, and inhibiting iPLA(2)beta prevents the muscarinic agonist-induced accelerated Kv2.1 inactivation. Furthermore, glucose and carbachol do not significantly affect Kv2.1 inactivation in beta-cells from iPLA(2)beta(-/-) mice. Stably transfected INS-1 cells that overexpress iPLA(2)beta hydrolyze phospholipids more rapidly than control INS-1 cells and also exhibit an increase in the inactivation rate of the delayed rectifier currents. These results suggest that Kv2.1 currents could be dynamically modulated in the pancreatic islet beta-cell by phospholipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids to yield non-esterified fatty acids, such as AA, that facilitate Ca(2+) entry and insulin secretion.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid and its metabolites have been previously implicated in the regulation of endothelial cell proliferation. Arachidonic acid may be liberated from cellular phospholipids by the action of group VIA calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2-VIA). Consequently, we tested the hypothesis that iPLA2-VIA activity is linked to the regulation of endothelial cell proliferation. Inhibition of iPLA2 activity by bromoenol lactone (BEL) was sufficient to entirely block endothelial cell growth. BEL dose-dependently inhibited endothelial cell DNA synthesis in a manner that was reversed upon the exogenous addition of arachidonic acid. DNA synthesis was inhibited by the S-isomer and not by the R-isomer of BEL, demonstrating that endothelial cell proliferation is mediated specifically by iPLA2-VIA. iPLA2-VIA activity was critical to the progression of endothelial cells through S phase and is required for the expression of the cyclin A/cdk2 complex. Thus, inhibition of iPLA2-VIA blocks S phase progression and results in exit from the cell cycle. Inhibition of iPLA2-VIA-mediated endothelial cell proliferation is sufficient to block angiogenic tubule formation in co-culture assays. Consequently, iPLA2-VIA is a novel regulator of endothelial cell S phase progression, cell cycle residence, and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Group VIA phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)beta) is expressed in phagocytes, vascular cells, pancreatic islet beta-cells, neurons, and other cells and plays roles in transcriptional regulation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, secretion, and other events. A bromoenol lactone (BEL) suicide substrate used to study iPLA(2)beta functions inactivates iPLA(2)beta by alkylating Cys thiols. Because thiol redox reactions are important in signaling and some cells that express iPLA(2)beta produce biological oxidants, iPLA(2)beta might be subject to redox regulation. We report that biological concentrations of H(2)O(2), NO, and HOCl inactivate iPLA(2)beta, and this can be partially reversed by dithiothreitol (DTT). Oxidant-treated iPLA(2)beta modifications were studied by LC-MS/MS analyses of tryptic digests and included DTT-reversible events, e.g., formation of disulfide bonds and sulfenic acids, and others not so reversed, e.g., formation of sulfonic acids, Trp oxides, and Met sulfoxides. W(460) oxidation could cause irreversible inactivation because it is near the lipase consensus sequence ((463)GTSTG(467)), and site-directed mutagenesis of W(460) yields active mutant enzymes that exhibit no DTT-irreversible oxidative inactivation. Cys651-sulfenic acid formation could be one DTT-reversible inactivation event because Cys651 modification correlates closely with activity loss and its mutagenesis reduces sensitivity to inhibition. Intermolecular disulfide bond formation might also cause reversible inactivation because oxidant-treated iPLA(2)beta contains DTT-reducible oligomers, and oligomerization occurs with time- and temperature-dependent iPLA(2)beta inactivation that is attenuated by DTT or ATP. Subjecting insulinoma cells to oxidative stress induces iPLA(2)beta oligomerization, loss of activity, and subcellular redistribution and reduces the rate of release of arachidonate from phospholipids. These findings raise the possibility that redox reactions affect iPLA(2)beta functions.

Abstract
Inhibitors of the Group IVA phospholipase A(2) (GIVA cPLA(2)) and GVIA iPLA(2) are useful tools for defining the roles of these enzymes in cellular signaling and inflammation. We have developed inhibitors of GVIA iPLA(2) building upon the 2-oxoamide backbone that are uncharged, containing ester groups. Although the most potent inhibitors of GVIA iPLA(2) also inhibited GIVA cPLA(2), there were three 2-oxoamide compounds that selectively and weakly inhibited GVIA iPLA(2). We further show that several potent 2-oxoamide inhibitors of GIVA cPLA(2) containing free carboxylic groups (Kokotos et al. J. Med. Chem. 2002, 45, 2891-2893) do not inhibit GVIA iPLA(2) and are, therefore, selective GIVA cPLA(2) inhibitors.

Abstract
Mitochondria-mediated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a key role in apoptosis. Mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin molecules are likely the main target of ROS because they are particularly rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are also located in the inner mitochondrial membrane near the ROS-producing sites. Under physiological conditions mitochondria can repair peroxidative damage in part through a remodeling mechanism via the deacylation-reacylation cycle mediated by phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and acyl-coenzyme A-dependent monolysocardiolipin acyltransferase. Here we investigate whether group VIA Ca2+-independent PLA2 (iPLA2) plays a role in the protection of mitochondrial function from damage caused by mitochondrially generated ROS during apoptotic induction by staurosporine (STS). We show that iPLA2-expressing cells were relatively resistant to STS-induced apoptosis. iPLA2 localized to mitochondria even before apoptotic induction, and most iPLA2-associated mitochondria were intact in apoptotic resistant cells. Expression of iPLA2 in INS-1 cells prevented the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, attenuated the release of cytochrome c, Smac/DIABLO, and apoptosis inducing factor from mitochondria, and reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production. Inhibition of caspase 8 has little effect on STS-induced apoptosis in INS-1 cells. Finally, we found that STS down-regulated endogenous iPLA2 transcription in both INS-1 and iPLA2-expressing INS-1 cells without affecting the expression of group IV Ca2+-dependent PLA2. Together, our data indicate that iPLA2 is important for the protection of mitochondrial function from oxidative damage during apoptotic induction. Down-regulation of endogenous iPLA2 by STS may result in the loss of mitochondrial membrane repair functions and lead to mitochondrial failure and apoptosis.

Abstract
The G1 phase of the cell cycle is characterized by a high rate of membrane phospholipid turnover. Cells regulate this turnover by coordinating the opposing actions of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase and the group VI Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2). However, little is known about how such turnover affects cell-cycle progression. Here, we show that G1-phase phospholipid turnover is essential for cell proliferation. Specific inhibition of iPLA2 arrested cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This G1-phase arrest was associated with marked upregulation of the tumour suppressor p53 and the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21cip1. Inactivation of iPLA2 failed to arrest p53-deficient HCT cells in the G1 phase and caused massive apoptosis of p21-deficient HCT cells, suggesting that this G1-phase arrest requires activation of p53 and expression of p21cip1. Furthermore, downregulation of p53 by siRNA in p21-deficient HCT cells reduced the cell death, indicating that inhibition of iPLA2 induced p53-dependent apoptosis in the absence of p21cip1. Thus, our study reveals hitherto unrecognized cooperation between p53 and iPLA2 to monitor membrane-phospholipid turnover in G1 phase. Disrupting the G1-phase phospholipid turnover by inhibition of iPLA2 activates the p53-p21cip1 checkpoint mechanism, thereby blocking the entry of G1-phase cells into S phase.

Abstract
Studies involving pharmacologic inhibition or transient reduction of Group VIA phospholipase A2 (iPLA2beta) expression have suggested that it is a housekeeping enzyme that regulates cell 2-lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) levels, rates of arachidonate incorporation into phospholipids, and degradation of excess phosphatidylcholine (PC). In insulin-secreting islet beta-cells and some other cells, in contrast, iPLA2beta signaling functions have been proposed. Using retroviral vectors, we prepared clonal INS-1 beta-cell lines in which iPLA2beta expression is stably suppressed by small interfering RNA. Two such iPLA2beta knockdown (iPLA2beta-KD) cell lines express less than 20% of the iPLA2beta of control INS-1 cell lines. The iPLA2beta-KD INS-1 cells exhibit impaired insulin secretory responses and reduced proliferation rates. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analyses of PC and LPC species that accumulate in INS-1 cells cultured with arachidonic acid suggest that 18:0/20:4-glycerophosphocholine (GPC) synthesis involves sn-2 remodeling to yield 16:0/20:4-GPC and then sn-1 remodeling via a 1-lyso/20:4-GPC intermediate. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analyses also indicate that the PC and LPC content and composition of iPLA2beta-KD and control INS-1 cells are nearly identical, as are the rates of arachidonate incorporation into PC and the composition and remodeling of other phospholipid classes. These findings indicate that iPLA2beta plays signaling or effector roles in beta-cell secretion and proliferation but that stable suppression of its expression does not affect beta-cell GPC lipid content or composition even under conditions in which LPC is being actively consumed by conversion to PC. This calls into question the generality of proposed housekeeping functions for iPLA2beta in PC homeostasis and remodeling.

Abstract
Many cells express a Group VIA phospholipase A2, designated iPLA2beta, that does not require calcium for activation, is stimulated by ATP, and is sensitive to inhibition by a bromoenol lactone suicide substrate (BEL). Studies in various cell systems have led to the suggestion that iPLA2beta has a role in phospholipid remodeling, signal transduction, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. We have found that pancreatic islets, beta-cells, and glucose-responsive insulinoma cells express an iPLA2beta that participates in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion but is not involved in membrane phospholipid remodeling. Additionally, recent studies reveal that iPLA2beta is involved in pathways that contribute to beta-cell proliferation and apoptosis, and that various phospholipid-derived mediators are involved in these processes. Detailed characterization of the enzyme suggests that the beta-cells express multiple isoforms of iPLA2beta, and we hypothesize that these participate in different cellular functions.

Abstract
Dysregulation of proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) contributes to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease, and the Group VIA phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)beta) is the dominant PLA(2) enzyme in the central nervous system and is subject to regulatory proteolytic processing. We have identified novel N-terminal variants of iPLA(2)beta and previously unrecognized proteolysis sites in APP constructs with a C-terminal 6-myc tag by automated identification of signature peptides in LC/MS/MS analyses of proteolytic digests. We have developed a Signature-Discovery (SD) program to characterize protein isoforms by identifying signature peptides that arise from proteolytic processing in vivo. This program analyzes MS/MS data from LC analyses of proteolytic digests of protein mixtures that can include incompletely resolved components in biological samples. This reduces requirements for purification and thereby minimizes artifactual modifications during sample processing. A new algorithm to generate the theoretical signature peptide set and to calculate similarity scores between predicted and observed mass spectra has been tested and optimized with model proteins. The program has been applied to the identification of variants of proteins of biological interest, including APP cleavage products and iPLA(2)beta, and such applications demonstrate the utility of this approach.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2004; 1686:85-99.

Abstract
During entry into the cell cycle a phosphatidylcholine (PC) metabolic cycle is activated. We have examined the hypothesis that PC synthesis during the G(0) to G(1) transition is controlled by one or more lipid products of PC turnover acting directly on the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis pathway, CTP: phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT). The acceleration of PC synthesis was two- to threefold during the first hour after addition of serum to quiescent IIC9 fibroblasts. The rate increased to approximately 15-fold above the basal rate during the second hour. The production of arachidonic acid, diacylglycerol (DAG), and phosphatidic acid (PA) preceded the second, rapid phase of PC synthesis. However, an increase in the cellular content of these lipid mediators was detected only for DAG. CCT activation and translocation to membranes accompanied the second phase of the PC synthesis acceleration. Bromoenol lactone (BEL), an inhibitor of calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) and PA phosphatase, blocked production of fatty acids and DAG, inhibited both phases of the PC synthesis response to serum, and reduced CCT activity and membrane affinity. The effect of BEL on PC synthesis was partially reversed by in situ generation of DAG via exogenous PC-specific phospholipase C to generate approximately 2-fold elevation in PC-derived DAG. Exogenous arachidonic acid also partially reversed the inhibition by BEL, but only at a concentration that generated a supra-physiological cellular content of free fatty acid. 1-Butanol, which blocks PA production, had no effect on DAG generation, or on PC synthesis. We conclude that fatty acids and DAG could contribute to the initial slow phase of the PC synthesis response. DAG is the most likely lipid regulator of CCT activity and the rapid phase of PC synthesis. However, processes other than direct activation of CCT by lipid mediators likely contribute to the highly accelerated phase during entry into the cell cycle.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence suggest that glycerophospholipid mass is maintained through the coordinate regulation of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase-alpha (CTalpha) and the group VIA calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2). CTalpha expression is modulated by sterol and this is mediated in part through sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBP). In this report, we investigate the possibility that iPLA2 expression is controlled in a similar manner. When Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were cultured under sterol-depleted conditions, iPLA2 catalytic activity, mRNA, and protein were induced by between two- and threefold. These inductions were suppressed when the cells were supplemented with exogenous sterols. Luciferase reporter assays indicated that sterol depletion induced transcription of iPLA2, an analysis of the 5' flanking region suggested that the iPLA2 gene contained a putative sterol regulatory element (SRE), and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) analysis indicated that this element can bind SREBP-2. Notably, a mutant CHO cell line (SRD4) that constitutively generates mature SREBP proteins exhibited increased iPLA2 activity and expression compared to wild-type cells. These data suggest that iPLA2 expression is regulated in a manner consistent with other important genes in sterol and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Such coordinate regulation may be essential for maintaining the lipid composition of cell membranes.

Abstract
Islet Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) is postulated to mediate insulin secretion by releasing arachidonic acid in response to insulin secretagogues. However, the significance of iPLA2 signaling in insulin secretion in vivo remains unexplored. Here we investigated the physiological role of iPLA2 in beta-cell lines, isolated islets, and mice. We showed that small interfering RNA-specific silencing of iPLA2 expression in INS-1 cells significantly reduced insulin-secretory responses of INS-1 cells to glucose. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that mouse islet cells expressed significantly higher levels of iPLA2 than pancreatic exocrine acinar cells. Bromoenol lactone (BEL), a selective inhibitor of iPLA2, inhibited glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from isolated mouse islets; this inhibition was overcome by exogenous arachidonic acid. We also showed that iv BEL administration to mice resulted in sustained hyperglycemia and reduced insulin levels during glucose tolerance tests. Clamp experiments demonstrated that the impaired glucose tolerance was due to insufficient insulin secretion rather than decreased insulin sensitivity. Short-term administration of BEL to mice had no effect on fasting glucose levels and caused no apparent pathological changes of islets in pancreas sections. These results unambiguously demonstrate that iPLA2 signaling plays an important role in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion under physiological conditions.

Abstract
The Group VIA Phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)beta) is the first recognized cytosolic Ca(2+)-independent PLA(2) and has been proposed to participate in arachidonic acid (20:4) incorporation into glycerophosphocholine lipids, cell proliferation, exocytosis, apoptosis, and other processes. To study iPLA(2)beta functions, we disrupted its gene by homologous recombination to generate mice that do not express iPLA(2)beta. Heterozygous iPLA(2)beta(+/-) breeding pairs yield a Mendelian 1:2:1 ratio of iPLA(2)beta(+/+), iPLA(2)beta(+/-), and iPLA(2)beta(-/-) pups and a 1:1 male:female gender distribution of iPLA(2)beta(-/-) pups. Several tissues of wild-type mice express iPLA(2)beta mRNA, immunoreactive protein, and activity, and testes express the highest levels. Testes or other tissues of iPLA(2)beta(-/-) mice express no iPLA(2)beta mRNA or protein, but iPLA(2)beta(-/-) testes are not deficient in 20:4-containing glycerophosphocholine lipids, indicating that iPLA(2)beta does not play an obligatory role in formation of such lipids in that tissue. Spermatozoa from iPLA(2)beta(-/-) mice have reduced motility and impaired ability to fertilize mouse oocytes in vitro and in vivo, and inhibiting iPLA(2)beta with a bromoenol lactone suicide substrate reduces motility of wild-type spermatozoa in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Mating iPLA(2)beta(-/-) male mice with iPLA(2)beta(+/+), iPLA(2)beta(+/-), or iPLA(2)beta(-/-) female mice yields only about 7% of the number of pups produced by mating pairs with an iPLA(2)beta(+/+) or iPLA(2)beta(+/-) male, but iPLA(2)beta(-/-) female mice have nearly normal fertility. These findings indicate that iPLA(2)beta plays an important functional role in spermatozoa, suggest a target for developing male contraceptive drugs, and complement reports that disruption of the Group IVA PLA(2) (cPLA(2)alpha) gene impairs female reproductive ability.

Abstract
The death of insulin-secreting beta-cells that causes type I diabetes mellitus (DM) occurs in part by apoptosis, and apoptosis also contributes to progressive beta-cell dysfunction in type II DM. Recent reports indicate that ER stress-induced apoptosis contributes to beta-cell loss in diabetes. Agents that deplete ER calcium levels induce beta-cell apoptosis by a process that is independent of increases in [Ca(2+)](i). Here we report that the SERCA inhibitor thapsigargin induces apoptosis in INS-1 insulinoma cells and that this is inhibited by a bromoenol lactone (BEL) inhibitor of group VIA calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)beta). Overexpression of iPLA(2)beta amplifies thapsigargin-induced apoptosis of INS-1 cells, and this is also suppressed by BEL. The magnitude of thapsigargin-induced INS-1 cell apoptosis correlates with the level of iPLA(2)beta expression in various cell lines, and apoptosis is associated with stimulation of iPLA(2)beta activity, perinuclear accumulation of iPLA(2)beta protein and activity, and caspase-3-catalyzed cleavage of full-length 84 kDa iPLA(2)beta to a 62 kDa product that associates with nuclei. Thapsigargin also induces ceramide accumulation in INS-1 cells, and this response is amplified in cells that overexpress iPLA(2)beta. These findings indicate that iPLA(2)beta participates in ER stress-induced apoptosis, a pathway that promotes beta-cell death in diabetes.

Abstract
Many cells express a group VIA 84 kDa phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)beta) that is sensitive to inhibition by a bromoenol lactone (BEL) suicide substrate. Inhibition of iPLA(2)beta in pancreatic islets and insulinoma cells suppresses, and overexpression of iPLA(2)beta in INS-1 insulinoma cells amplifies, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, suggesting that iPLA(2)beta participates in secretion. Western blotting analyses reveal that glucose-responsive 832/13 INS-1 cells express essentially no 84 kDa iPLA(2)beta-immunoreactive protein but predominantly express a previously unrecognized immunoreactive iPLA(2)beta protein in the 70 kDa region that is not generated by a mechanism of alternate splicing of the iPLA(2)beta transcript. To determine if the 70 kDa-immunoreactive protein is a short isoform of iPLA(2)beta, protein from the 70 kDa region was digested with trypsin and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Such analyses reveal several peptides with masses and amino acid sequences that exactly match iPLA(2)beta tryptic peptides. Peptide sequences identified in the 70 kDa tryptic digest include iPLA(2)beta residues 7-53, suggesting that the N-terminus is preserved. We also report here that the 832/13 INS-1 cells express iPLA(2)beta catalytic activity and that BEL inhibits secretagogue-stimulated insulin secretion from these cells but not the incorporation of arachidonic acid into membrane PC pools of these cells. These observations suggest that the catalytic iPLA(2)beta activity expressed in 832/13 INS-1 cells is attributable to a short isoform of iPLA(2)beta and that this isoform participates in insulin secretory but not in membrane phospholipid remodeling pathways. Further, the finding that pancreatic islets also express predominantly a 70 kDa iPLA(2)beta-immunoreactive protein suggests that a signal transduction role of iPLA(2)beta in the native beta-cell might be attributable to a 70 kDa isoform of iPLA(2)beta.

Abstract
Evidence that group VIA cytosolic calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)beta) participates in beta-cell signal transduction includes the observations that inhibition of iPLA(2)beta with the bromoenol lactone suicide substrate suppresses glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and that overexpression of iPLA(2)beta amplifies insulin secretory responses in INS-1 insulinoma cells. Immunofluorescence analyses also reveal that iPLA(2)beta accumulates in the perinuclear region of INS-1 cells stimulated with glucose and forskolin. To characterize this phenomenon further, iPLA(2)beta was expressed as a fusion protein with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in INS-1 cells so that movements of iPLA(2)beta are reflected by changes in the subcellular distribution of green fluorescence. Stimulation of INS-1 cells overexpressing iPLA(2)beta-EGFP induced greater insulin secretion and punctate accumulation of iPLA(2)beta-EGFP fluorescence in the perinuclear region. To determine the identity of organelles with which iPLA(2)beta might associate, colocalization of green fluorescence with fluorophores associated with specific trackers targeted to different subcellular organelles was examined. Such analyses reveal association of iPLA(2)beta-EGFP fluorescence with the ER and Golgi compartments. Arachidonate-containing plasmenylethanolamine phospholipid species are abundant in beta-cell endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are excellent substrates for iPLA(2)beta. Arachidonic acid produced by iPLA(2)beta-catalyzed hydrolysis of their substrates induces release of Ca(2+) from ER stores-an event thought to participate in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

Abstract
The beta-isoform of group VIA calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)beta) does not require calcium for activation, is stimulated by ATP, and is sensitive to inhibition by a bromoenol lactone suicide substrate. Several potential functions have been proposed for iPLA(2)beta. Our studies indicate that iPLA(2)beta is expressed in beta-cells and participates in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion but is not involved in membrane phospholipid remodeling. If iPLA(2)beta plays a signaling role in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, then conditions that impair iPLA(2)beta functions might contribute to the diminished capacity of beta-cells to secrete insulin in response to glucose, which is a prominent characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Our recent studies suggest that iPLA(2)beta might also participate in beta-cell proliferation and apoptosis and that various phospholipid-derived mediators are involved in these processes. Detailed characterization of the iPLA(2)beta protein level reveals that beta-cells express multiple isoforms of the enzyme, and our studies involve the hypothesis that different isoforms have different functions.

Abstract
Cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) comprises a widely expressed family of enzymes, some members of which have the properties required of signal transduction elements in electrically excitable cells. Thus, alpha- and beta-isoforms of cPLA(2) are activated by the increases in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) achieved in depolarized cells. Activation is associated with a redistribution of the enzyme within the cell; activation of cPLA(2) generates arachidonic acid (AA), a biologically active unsaturated fatty acid that can be further metabolized to generate a plethora of biologically active molecules. Studies using relatively nonselective pharmacological inhibitors have implicated cPLA(2) in insulin secretory responses to stimuli that elevate beta-cell [Ca(2+)](i); therefore, we have investigated the role of cPLA(2) in beta-cell function by generating beta-cell lines that under- or overexpress the alpha-isoform of cPLA(2). The functional phenotype of the modified cells was assessed by observation of cellular ultrastructure, by measuring insulin gene expression and insulin protein content, and by measuring the effects of insulin secretagogues on cPLA(2) distribution, on changes in [Ca(2+)](i), and on the rate and pattern of insulin secretion. Our results suggest that cPLA(2) is not required for the initiation of insulin secretion from beta-cells, but that it plays an important role in the maintenance of beta-cell insulin stores. Our data also demonstrate that excessive production of, or exposure to, AA is deleterious to normal beta-cell secretory function through metabolic dysfunction.

Abstract
The catalytic activity of calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2), which is classified as a group VI PLA2, is regulated by protein kinase C, calmodulin, and others such as reactive oxygen species. Numerous findings have shown that iPLA2 is involved in stimulus-induced arachidonic acid release and lysophospholipid generation, although the participation is dependent upon the cell type and stimulus. The catalytic action of iPLA2 is known to be responsible for phospholipid remodeling as a housekeeping function. However, it has been widely accepted that arachidonic acid and lysophospholipid generated by iPLA2 act as a signaling molecule in cellular functions. Those include eicosanoid production, glucose-induced insulin secretion, Fas-induced apoptosis, cellular proliferation, membrane traffic in fusion, contribution to myocardial ischemia, and others. In this review, the functional role of iPLA2 in cellular responses upon stimulation is the focus.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated recently that rabbit renal proximal tubule cells (RPTC) express a novel Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)) whose activity localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER-iPLA(2)) and is similar to group VIB PLA(2). In this study, the expression of group VIB PLA(2) was examined and the role of ER-iPLA(2) in cisplatin-induced apoptosis was determined. Cisplatin induced both time- and concentration-dependent RPTC apoptosis as determined by p53 nuclear localization, annexin V staining, caspase 3 activity, and chromatin condensation. Inhibition of ER-iPLA(2) with bromoenol lactone (5 microM) reduced cisplatin-induced annexin V binding 40%, chromatin condensation 55%, and caspase 3 activity 42%, but had no effect on p53 nuclear localization. Treatment of RPTC with the protein kinase C stimulator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate increased the activity of ER-iPLA(2) 2-fold and increased cisplatin-induced RPTC apoptosis. These studies demonstrate that group VIB PLA(2) is expressed in RPTC and suggest that RPTC ER-iPLA(2) is the rabbit homolog of group VIB PLA(2). These data also demonstrate that ER-iPLA(2) acts downstream of p53 and upstream of caspase 3 to mediate cisplatin-induced RPTC apoptosis. Finally, ER-iPLA(2) seems to be regulated by protein kinase C.

Abstract
Phospholipids play a central role in the biochemistry of all living cells. These molecules constitute the lipid bilayer defining the outer confines of a cell, but also serve as the structural entities which confine subcellular components. Mass spectrometry has emerged as a powerful tool useful for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of complex phospholipids, including glycerophospholipids and the sphingolipid, sphingomyelin. Collision induced decomposition of both positive and negative molecular ion species yield rich information as to the polar head group of the phospholipid and the fatty-acyl substituents esterified to the glycerophospholipid backbone. This review presents the current level of understanding of the mechanisms involved in the formation of various product ions following collisional activation of molecular ion species generated by electrospray ionization of the common glycerophospholipids, including phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, cardiolipin, and sphingomyelin. Recent advances in the application of matrix assisted laser desorption ionization is also considered. Several applications of mass spectrometry applied to phospholipid analysis are presented as they apply to physiology as well as pathophysiology.

Abstract
Excitatory agonists can induce significant smooth muscle contraction under constant free Ca(2+) through a mechanism called Ca(2+) sensitization. Considerable evidence suggests that free arachidonic acid plays an important role in mediating agonist-induced Ca(2+)-sensitization; however, the molecular mechanisms responsible for maintaining and regulating free arachidonic acid level are not completely understood. In the current study, we demonstrated that Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)) is expressed in vascular smooth muscle tissues. Inhibition of the endogenous iPLA(2) activity by bromoenol lactone (BEL) decreases basal free arachidonic acid levels and reduces the final free arachidonic acid level after phenylephrine stimulation, without significant effect on the net increase in free arachidonic acid stimulated by phenylephrine. Importantly, BEL treatment diminishes agonist-induced Ca(2+) sensitization of contraction from 49 +/- 3.6 to 12 +/- 1.0% (p < 0.01). In contrast, BEL does not affect agonist-induced diacylglycerol production or contraction induced by Ca(2+), phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (a protein kinase C activator), or exogenous arachidonic acid. Further, we demonstrate that adenovirus-mediated overexpression of exogenous iPLA(2) in mouse portal vein tissue significantly potentiates serotonin-induced contraction. Our data provide the first evidence that iPLA(2) is required for maintaining basal free arachidonic acid levels and thus is essential for agonist-induced Ca(2+)-sensitization of contraction in vascular smooth muscle.

Abstract
Different methods were established for monitoring the phospholipase A(2)(PLA(2)) activity but all of them are rather cumbersome and time consuming. In this paper we have investigated the suitability of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for the determination of the PLA(2) activity. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) was digested with pancreatic PLA(2) under different conditions, i.e., various Ca(2+), PC, and PLA(2) concentrations. The digestion products were analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS and the concentration of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)-generated upon PLA(2) digestion-was determined by the application of an internal standard (known concentration) and by a comparison of their signal-to-noise ratios. The results clearly demonstrate that the LPC concentration determined from the MALDI-TOF mass spectra correlates directly with the activity of the applied enzyme. Additionally, LPC concentration increased with an increase in Ca(2+), as well as in the PC concentration. A single MALDI-TOF mass spectrum provides immediate information on the digestion products as well as on the residual substrate without requirements for any previous derivatization. MALDI-TOF MS can be easily and simply applied for monitoring the PLA(2) activity and we assume that this method might also be useful for other types of phospholipases.
