Evaluating the mitochondrial activity and inflammatory state of dimethyl sulfoxide differentiated PLB-985 cells. Mol Immunol 2021; 135:1-11. [PMID: 33838400 DOI: 10.1016/j.molimm.2021.03.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Revised: 03/14/2021] [Accepted: 03/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Neutrophils play a key role in the innate immunity with their ability to generate and release inflammatory mediators that promote the inflammatory response and consequently restore the hemostasis. As active participants in several steps of the normal inflammatory response, neutrophils are also involved in chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma, atherosclerosis, and arthritis. Given their dual role in the modulation of inflammation, regulating the inflammatory response of neutrophils has been suggested as an important therapeutic approach by numerous researchers. The neutrophils have a relatively short lifespan, which can be problematic for some in vitro experiments. To address this issue, researchers have used the human monomyelocyte cell line PLB-985 as an in vitro model for exploratory experiments addressing neutrophil-related physiological functions. PLB-985 cells can be differentiated into a neutrophil-like phenotype upon exposure to several agonists, including dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Whether this differentiation of PLB-985 affects important features related to the neutrophil's normal functions (i.e., mitochondrial activity, eicosanoid production) remains elusive, and characterizing these changes will be the focal point of this study. Our results indicate that the differentiation affected the proliferation of PLB-985 cells, without inducing apoptosis. A significant decrease in mitochondrial respiration was observed in differentiated PLB-985 cells. However, the overall mitochondria content was not affected. Immunoblotting with mitochondrial antibodies revealed a strong modulation of the succinate dehydrogenase A, superoxide dismutase 2, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein 2 and ATP synthase subunit α in differentiated PLB-985 cells. Finally, eicosanoids (leukotriene B4, 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic and 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids) production was significantly increased in differentiated cells. In summary, our data demonstrate that the differentiation process of PLB-985 cells does not impact their viability despite a reduced respiratory state of the cells. This process is also accompanied by modulation of the inflammatory state of the cell. Of importance, our data suggest that PLB-985 cells could be suitable in vitro candidates to study mitochondrial-related dysfunctions in inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Colitis, an inflammation of the colon, is a well-characterized massive tissue injury. Cytosolic phospholipase A2 α (cPLA2 α) upregulation plays an important role in the development of several inflammatory diseases. The aim of the present study was to define the role of cPLA2 α upregulation in the development of colitis. We used a mouse model of dextran sulfate sodium induced colitis. Immunoblotting analysis showed that cPLA2 α and NF-κB were upregulated and activated in the colon from day 2 of colitis induction. This molecular event preceded the development of the disease, as determined by Disease Activity Index score, body weight, colon length, and the expression of colonic inflammatory markers, including neutrophil infiltration detected by myeloperoxidase and by NIMP-R14, ICAM-1, COX-2, iNOS upregulation and LTB4 and TNF-α secretion. Prevention of cPLA2 α upregulation and activity in the colon by i.v. administration of specific antisense oligonucleotides against cPLA2 α 1 day prior and every day of exposure to dextran sulfate sodium significantly impeded the development of the disease and prevented NF-κB activation, neutrophils infiltration into the colonic mucosa, and expression of proinflammatory proteins in the colon. Our results demonstrate a critical role of cPLA2 α upregulation in inflammation and development of murine colitis.

Abstract
Amyloid-β peptides generated by proteolysis of the β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The present study aimed to determine whether cytosolic phospholipase A2 α (cPLA2 α) plays a role in elevated APP protein expression induced by aggregated amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ) in cortical neurons and to elucidate its specific role in signal events leading to APP induction. Elevated cPLA2 α and its activity determined by phosphorylation on serine 505 as well as elevated APP protein expression, were detected in primary rat cortical neuronal cultures exposed to Aβ for 24 h and in cortical neuron of human amyloid-β1-42 brain infused mice. Prevention of cPLA2 α up-regulation and its activity by oligonucleotide antisense against cPLA2 α (AS) prevented the elevation of APP protein in cortical neuronal cultures and in mouse neuronal cortex. To determine the role of cPLA2 α in the signals leading to APP induction, increased cPLA2 α expression and activity induced by Aβ was prevented by means of AS in neuronal cortical cultures. Under these conditions, the elevated cyclooxygenase-2 and the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ) were prevented. Addition of PGE2 or cyclic AMP analogue (dbcAMP) to neuronal cultures significantly increased the expression of APP protein, while the presence protein kinase A inhibitor (H-89) attenuated the elevation of APP induced by Aβ. Inhibition of elevated cPLA2 α by AS prevented the activation of cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) as detected by its phosphorylated form, its translocation to the nucleus and its DNA binding induced by Aβ which coincided with cPLA2 α dependent activation of CREB in the cortex of Aβ brain infused mice. Our results show that accumulation of Aβ induced elevation of APP protein expression mediated by cPLA2 α, PGE2 release, and CREB activation via protein kinase A pathway.

Abstract
Increased cytosolic phospholipase A2α (cPLA2α) immunoreactivity and transcript were observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain associated with amyloid deposits. Thus, the present study examined whether cPLA2α upregulation participate in cortical neuron damage induced by aggregated Aβ1-42 and determined its role in the signaling events leading to damage, using an antisense technology. Exposure of primary cortical neurons to 1μM aggregated Aβ1-42 for 24h induced up-regulation and activation of cPLA2α and apoptotic cell death of about 30% as detected by: cell count, MTT reduction, caspases-3 and -8 activation, DAPI and TUNEL staining, that were prevented by inhibition of cPLA2α up-regulation and activity in the presence of antisense against cPLA2α (AS). cPLA2α was rapidly activated upon addition of aggregated Aβ1-42, as determined by its phosphorylated form on serine 505, and this activity was dependent on NADPH oxidase activity. NOX2- and NOX4-NADPH oxidase upregulation at 24h of aggregated Aβ1-42 exposure was not affected by the presence of AS, but superoxide production was reduced, probably due to NOX2 inhibition. cPLA2α upregulation led to activation of neutral sphingomyelinase (N-SMase) as its activity was inhibited in the presence of AS, and could be restored by addition of arachidonic acid. Addition of ceramide analog induced caspase-8 activation leading to caspase-3 activation and apoptotic neuronal death. In conclusion, our results suggest that cPLA2α activity plays a crucial role in the signaling cascade leading to apoptotic neuronal death by aggregated Aβ1-42 probably via activation of N-SMase, ceramide production and caspases-3 and -8.

Abstract
In established obesity, inflammation and macrophage recruitment likely contribute to the development of insulin resistance. In the current study, we set out to explore whether adipose tissue infiltration by neutrophils that occurs early (3 days) after initiating a high-fat diet (HFD) could contribute to the early occurrence of hepatic insulin resistance and to determine the role of cytosolic phospholipase A2α (cPLA2α) in this process. The 3-day HFD caused a significant upregulation of cPLA2α in periepididymal fat and in the liver. A specific antisense oligonucleotide (AS) effectively prevented cPLA2α induction, neutrophil infiltration into adipose tissue (likely involving MIP-2), and protected against 3-day HFD-induced impairment in hepatic insulin signaling and glucose over-production from pyruvate. To sort out the role of adipose neutrophil infiltration independent of cPLA2α induction in the liver, mice were injected intraperitoneally with anti-intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) antibodies. This effectively prevented neutrophil infiltration without affecting cPLA2α or MIP-2, but like AS, prevented impairment in hepatic insulin signaling, the enhanced pyruvate-to-glucose flux, and the impaired insulin-mediated suppression of hepatic glucose production (assessed by clamp), which were induced by the 3-day HFD. Adipose tissue secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was increased by the 3-day HFD, but not if mice were treated with AS or ICAM-1 antibodies. Moreover, systemic TNF-α neutralization prevented 3-day HFD-induced hepatic insulin resistance, suggesting its mediatory role. We propose that an acute, cPLA2α-dependent, neutrophil-dominated inflammatory response of adipose tissue contributes to hepatic insulin resistance and glucose overproduction in the early adaptation to high-fat feeding.

Abstract
Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid, is an organic compound that has several cardio-beneficial effects. However, its use is limited due to the induction of a variable flushing response in most individuals. Flushing occurs from a niacin receptor mediated generation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid metabolism. This study examined the ability of docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), to attenuate niacin-induced prostaglandins in THP-1 macrophages. Niacin induced both PGD2 and PGE2 generation in a dose-dependent manner. Niacin also caused an increase in cytosolic calcium and activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2. The increase in PGD2 and PGE2 was reduced by both docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, but not by oleic acid. Omega-3 PUFAs efficiently incorporated into cellular phospholipids at the expense of arachidonic acid, whereas oleic acid incorporated to a higher extent but had no effect on arachidonic acid levels. Omega-3 PUFAs also reduced surface expression of GPR109A, a human niacin receptor. Furthermore, omega-3 PUFAs also inhibited the niacin-induced increase in cytosolic calcium. Niacin and/or omega-3 PUFAs minimally affected cyclooxygenase-1 activity and had no effect on cyclooxygenase -2 activity. The effects of niacin on PGD2 generation were further confirmed using Langerhans dendritic cells. Results of the present study indicate that omega-3 PUFAs reduced niacin-induced prostaglandins formation by diminishing the availability of their substrate, as well as reducing the surface expression of niacin receptors. In conclusion, this study suggests that the regular use of omega-3 PUFAs along with niacin can potentially reduce the niacin-induced flushing response in sensitive patients.

Abstract
In Alzheimer's disease, extracellular deposits of amyloid beta(1-42) (Abeta(1-42)) may induce activation of microglial cells by releasing proinflammatory factors that contribute to the neurodegeneration process. Since the activation of cytosolic phospholipase A(2)alpha (cPLA(2)alpha) has been reported in inflammatory conditions, its role in primary rat microglial cell activated by aggregated Abeta(1-42) was elucidated. The results of the present study show that activation of microglia by 5 microM aggregated Abeta(1-42) (as evident by the amoeboid morphology and increased CD68 immunofluorescence reactivity) caused an immediate activation of cPLA(2)alpha, measured by its phosphorylated form and its specific activity, followed by a gradual elevation of its expression and activity during 24 h. Inhibition of cPLA(2)alpha expression and activity by the presence of 1 microM specific antisense resulted in a significant decrease in NADPH oxidase activity that releases superoxides, PGE(2) formation, iNOS expression, and NO production, indicating a major role for cPLA(2)alpha in the regulation of these inflammatory processes. NADPH oxidase activity, which is under cPLA(2)alpha regulation, was found to upregulate cPLA(2)alpha and COX-2 protein expression through the redox-sensitive NFkappaB activation as evident by its phosphorylation on Ser-536, resulting in increased PGE(2) formation. The secreted PGE(2) induced the synthesis of iNOS and the production of NO through the PKA-CREB pathway. Taken together, our results suggest that the response of cPLA(2)alpha to aggregated Abeta(1-42) is probably a key player in the oxidative stress present in AD, regulating potent oxidative agents: the production of superoxides by NADPH oxidase and NO formation by iNOS.

Abstract
Cytosolic phospholipase A2alpha (cPLA2) plays an important role in the development of several inflammatory diseases. The aim of the present study is to determine whether inhibition of cPLA2 expression, using specific antisense oligonucleotides against cPLA2 (antisense), is efficient in reducing inflammation after its development. Two mouse models of inflammation were included in the study: thioglicolate peritonitis and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). The antisense was found to be specific and efficient in inhibiting cPLA2 expression and NADPH oxidase activity ex vivo in peritoneal phagocytes. Immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry analysis showed a significant elevation in cPLA2 expression in the inflamed joints of collagen-induced arthritis mice localized in cell infiltrate, chondrocytes and the surrounding skin and skeletal muscle. Similarly, the cPLA2 metabolite, leukotriene B4, accumulated in the peritoneal cavity of mice with peritonitis. Inhibition of elevated cPLA2 expression after development of inflammation by intravenous administration of antisense resulted in a dramatic reduction in inflammation and a significant reduction in neutrophils recruitment to the site of inflammation in both mouse models of inflammation. Our results demonstrate the critical role of cPLA2 for the duration of inflammation and suggest that inhibition of cPLA2 expression by antisense oligonucleotides may serve as an efficient treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prostaglandins (PGs) are found in high levels in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and nonsteroidal blockade of these bioactive lipids plays a role in patient care. The aim of this study was to explore the relative contribution of cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms and PG species in the autoantibody-driven K/BxN serum-transfer arthritis. METHODS The prostanoid content of arthritic ankles was assessed in ankle homogenates, and the importance of this pathway was confirmed with pharmacologic blockade. The presence of COX isoforms was assessed by Western blotting and their functional contribution was compared using COX-1-/- and COX-2-/- mice as well as isoform-specific inhibitors. The relative importance of PGE2 and PGI2 (prostacyclin) was determined using mice deficient in microsomal PGE synthase 1 (mPGES-1) and in the receptors for PGI2. RESULTS High levels of PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF1alpha (a stable metabolite of PGI2) were detected in arthritic joint tissues, correlating strongly with the intensity of synovitis. Pharmacologic inhibition of PG synthesis prevented arthritis and ameliorated active disease. While both COX isoforms were found in inflamed joint tissues, only COX-1 contributed substantially to clinical disease; COX-1-/- mice were fully resistant to disease, whereas COX-2-/- mice remained susceptible. These findings were confirmed by isoform-specific pharmacologic inhibition. Mice lacking mPGES-1 (and therefore PGE2) developed arthritis normally, whereas mice incapable of responding to PGI2 exhibited a significantly attenuated arthritis course, confirming a role of PGI2 in this arthritis model. CONCLUSION These findings challenge previous paradigms of distinct "housekeeping" versus inflammatory functions of the COX isoforms and highlight the potential pathogenic contribution of prostanoids synthesized via COX-1, in particular PGI2, to inflammatory arthritis.

Abstract
Background Human neutrophils are key players of innate immunity, and influence inflammatory and immune reactions through the production of numerous cytokines and chemokines. Despite major advances in our understanding of this important functional response of neutrophils, the short lifespan of these cells and their resistance to transfection have always been an obstacle to the detailed dissection of signaling pathways and effector responses that is often possible in other cell types. Results Here, we report that granulocytic differentiation of human PLB-985 cells with DMSO yields cells that are neutrophil-like with respect to surface markers, acquisition of responsiveness to physiological neutrophil stimuli (fMLP, LPS), cytokine expression and production profile, and transcription factor activation profile (NF-κB, C/EBP, AP-1, STAT). We also show that granulocytic PLB-985 cells can be reliably tranfected by nucleofection in a rapid and efficient manner. Indeed, we overexpressed several proteins and luciferase constructs into these cells. In particular, overexpression of a dominant negative IκB-α confirmed the central role of NF-κB in the production of cytokines by granulocytes. Moreover, the use of PLB-985 granulocytes in which the NADPH oxidase is inactive due to the targeted disruption of a key component (gp91phox) revealed that NF-κB activation and κB-dependent responses are independent of endogenous reactive oxygen intermediates in these cells. Antioxidant studies performed in primary human neutrophils support this conclusion. Conclusion Our results unveil a new facet of the NF-κB system of human granulocytes, and pave the way for deciphering signal transduction pathways and promoter activation in these cells.

Abstract
We investigated the role of group V phospholipase A2 (gVPLA2) in OVA-induced inflammatory cell migration and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in C57BL/6 mice. Repeated allergen challenge induced biosynthesis of gVPLA2 in airways. By aerosol, gVPLA2 caused dose-related increase in airway resistance in saline-treated mice; in allergic mice, gVPLA2 caused persistent airway narrowing. Neither group IIa phospholipase A2, a close homolog of gVPLA2, nor W31A, an inactive gVPLA2 mutant with reduced activity, caused airway narrowing in immune-sensitized mice. Pretreatment with MCL-3G1, a blocking Ab against gVPLA2, before OVA challenge blocked fully gVPLA2-induced cell migration and airway narrowing as marked by reduction of migrating leukocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and decreased airway resistance. We also assessed whether nonspecific AHR caused by methacholine challenge was elicited by gVPLA2 secreted from resident airway cells of immune-sensitized mice. MCL-3G1 also blocked methacholine-induced airway bronchoconstriction in allergic mice. Blockade of bronchoconstriction by MCL-3G1 was replicated in allergic pla2g5-/- mice, which lack the gene encoding gVPLA2. Bronchoconstriction caused by gVPLA2 in pla2g4-/- mice was comparable to that in pla2g4+/+ mice. Our data demonstrate that gVPLA2 is a critical messenger enzyme in the development of AHR and regulation of cell migration during immunosensitization by a pathway that is independent of group IVa phospholipase A2.

Abstract
Neutrophils and differentiated PLB-985 cells contain various types of PLA(2)s including the 85 kDa cytosolic PLA(2) (cPLA(2)), Ca(2+)-independent PLA(2) (iPLA(2)) and secreted PLA(2)s (sPLA(2)s). The present study focuses on the behavior of sPLA(2)s in neutrophils and PLB cells and their relationship to cPLA(2)alpha. The results of the present research show that the two types of sPLA(2) present in neutrophils, sPLA(2)-V and sPLA(2)-X, which are located in the azurophil granules, are differentially affected by physiological stimuli. While sPLA(2)-V is secreted to the extacellular milieu, sPLA(2)-X is detected on the plasma membranes after stimulation. Stimulation of neutrophils with formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP), opsonized zymosan (OZ) or A23187 resulted in a different kinetics of sPLA(2) secretion as detected by its activity in the neutrophil supernatants. Neutrophil priming by inflammatory cytokines or LPS enhanced sPLA(2) activity detected in the supernatant after stimulation by fMLP. This increased activity was due to increased secretion of sPLA(2)-V to the supernatant and not to release of sPLA(2)-X. sPLA(2) in granulocyte-like PLB cells exhibit identical characteristics to neutrophil sPLA(2), with similar activity and optimal pH of 7.5. Granulocyte-like cPLA(2)alpha-deficient PLB cells serve as a good model to study whether sPLA(2) activity is regulated by cPLA(2)alpha. Secretion and activity of sPLA(2) were found to be similar in granulocyte-like PLB cells expressing or lacking cPLA(2)alpha, indicating that they are not under cPLA(2)alpha regulation.

Abstract
Phospholipase A2(s) (PLA2(s)) are a family of enzymes that is present in a variety of mammalian and nonmammalian sources. Phagocytic cells contain cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) as well as several types of secreted PLA2, all of which have the potential to produce proinflammatory lipid mediators. The role of the predominant form of cPLA2 present in neutrophils is cPLA2alpha was studied by many groups. By modulating its expression in a variety of phagocytes it was found that it plays a major role in formation of eicosanoids. In addition, it was reported that cPLA2alpha also regulates the NADPH oxidase activation. The specificity of its effect on the NADPH oxidase is evident by results demonstrating that the differentiation process as well as other phagocytic functions are normal in cPLA2alpha-deficient PLB cell model. The novel dual subcellular localization of cPLA2alpha in different compartments, in the plasma membranes and in the nucleus, provides a molecular mechanism for the participation of cPLA2alpha in different processes (stimulation of NADPH oxidase and formation of eicosanoids) in the same cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the expression of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) isoforms and its relationship with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression and clinical parameters in advanced-stage (FIGO III-IV) ovarian carcinoma. METHODS Seventy-seven fresh frozen effusions from ovarian carcinoma patients were studied for messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of 10 secretory PLA2 (sPLA2) isoforms (IB, IIA/D/E/F, III, V, X, XII and XIII), the PLA2 receptor (sPLA2R), cytoplasmic PLA2 (cPLA2), PLA2-activating protein (PLAP) and MMP-2 using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Phosphorylated cPLA2 (p-cPLA2) protein expression was studied in 52 effusions using immunohistochemistry. MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity was evaluated in 22 and 20 effusions, respectively, using zymography. Expression was analyzed for correlation with clinicopathologic parameters, chemotherapy status and survival. RESULTS PLA2 isoforms, sPLA2R, PLAP and MMP-2 mRNA was expressed in >95% of specimens. p-cPLA2 protein was expressed in 46/52 (88%) effusions. MMP-2 activity was found in all specimens, while that of MMP-9 was detected in 19/20 effusions. MMP-2 was found to be co-expressed with p-cPLA2 (p=0.003) and sPLA2-IIA (p=0.021). Lower expression of sPLA2-IIA (p<0.001) and higher expression of sPLA2-V (p=0.038) and sPLA2-XIII (p=0.001) was found in post-chemotherapy effusions. In univariate survival analysis, higher levels of sPLA2-V correlated with better overall (OS, p=0.021) and progression-free (PFS, p=0.025) survival. For patients with post-chemotherapy effusions, FIGO stage IV and higher PLAP mRNA expression correlated with worse OS (p=0.005 for both PLAP and stage), while higher PLAP (p=0.025) and sPLA2-XII (p=0.027) levels and FIGO stage IV (p<0.001) correlated with shorter PFS. In Cox multivariate analysis, PLAP expression (p=0.022) and FIGO stage (p=0.036) independently predicted poor OS, while higher sPLA2-XII levels (p=0.04) and FIGO stage (p=0.003) were independent predictors of shorter PFS. CONCLUSIONS The present study documents for the first time expression of PLA2 isoforms, sPLA2R and PLAP in ovarian carcinoma. PLA2 isoenzyme expression differs in pre- and post-chemotherapy specimens. PLAP and sPLA2-XII may be independent predictors of poor outcome for patients with post-chemotherapy effusions.

Abstract
Fc gammaRIIA expressed on neutrophils and monocytes has a fundamental role in combating bacterial infections. In the present study, the requirement of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) for induction of Fc gammaRIIA expression was studied in a model of cPLA2-deficient PLB-985 cells (PLB-D cells). Fc gammaRIIA was acquired only during differentiation of PLB but not of PLB-D cells induced by either 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, retinoic acid, or interferon gamma. Addition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) to PLB-D cells undergoing differentiation restored the expression of Fc gammaRIIA protein, whereas addition of indomethacin to PLB cells during differentiation inhibited both the production of PGE2 and the expression of Fc gammaRIIA. Inhibition of PKA during PLB differentiation prevented Fc gammaRIIA expression, whereas dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) induced its expression in both PLB and PLB-D cells. CREB phosphorylation and CREB-CRE interaction were detected only in differentiated PLB cells and not PLB-D cells and were inhibited by indomethacin. A reporter gene containing a Fc gammaRIIA gene promoter fragment with the CRE element was sufficient for CREB activation. Our results are the first to show that CREB activation is involved in up-regulation of Fc gammaRIIA expression in myeloid lineages. PGE2 formed via cPLA2 activates CREB through PKA and this process is dependent on development of PGE2 receptor 4.

Abstract
Previous reports have shown that ortho-substituted polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are uterotonic and activate phospholipase A2 to release arachidonic acid (AA) from membrane phospholipids. AA serves as the precursor to various eicosanoids, which, in addition to AA itself, are capable of modulating uterine function. To examine whether PCBs stimulate phospholipase A2 (PLA2) to mobilize arachidonic acid from late-gestation rat uterus, primary cultures of gestation day 20 (gd20) rat myometrial cells (RMC) were labeled with 0.5 microCi 3H-AA prior to a 10-, 20-, or 30-min exposure to 2,2',4,6-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 50) (1-50 microM) or 0.1% DMSO (solvent control). PCB 50 stimulated the release of 3H-AA from gd20 RMC in concentration- and time-dependent manners (p < 0.05). PCB 50 stimulation of RMC was attenuated with ethylene glycol bis(2-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N'N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and nifedipine, suggesting that AA release was dependent on the influx of extracellular calcium through L-type voltage-operated calcium channels. PCB 50-induced release of AA from RMC was also attenuated with the PLA2-specific inhibitors methyl arachidonyl fluorophosphonate (MAFP), bromoenol lactone (BEL), and manoalide (p < 0.05). Stimulation of PLA2 enzymes in response to PCB exposure occurred via p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation as indicated by the significant attenuation of PCB 50-induced AA release from RMC in the presence of SB 202190. In addition to stimulating AA release, PCB 50 induced a significant production of prostaglandins from gd20 RMC compared with controls (p < 0.05). These results suggest that myometrial cells express multiple PLA2 isoforms that may serve as a target and effector for ortho-substituted PCB-mediated stimulation of uterine function through arachidonic acid and prostaglandin release.
