Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) and teriparatide (TPTD) are both effective treatments for osteoporosis, but BP treatment prior to daily TPTD treatment has been shown to impair the effect of TPTD in some clinical studies. In contrast, the loss of bone mineral density (BMD) that occurs after withdrawal of TPTD can be prevented by BP treatment. Although various studies have investigated the combination and/or sequential use of BP and TPTD, there have been no clinical studies investigating sequential treatment with zoledronic acid (ZOL) and TPTD (or vice versa). In this study, we evaluated the effects of sequential treatment with TPTD followed by ZOL, and ZOL followed by TPTD, using ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Two months after OVX, osteopenic rats were treated with ZOL, TPTD, or vehicle for a period of 4 months (first treatment period), and then the treatments were switched and administered for another 4 months (second treatment period). The group treated with ZOL followed by TPTD showed an immediate increase in BMD of the proximal tibia and greater BMD and bone strength of the lumbar vertebral body, femoral diaphysis, and proximal femur than the group treated with ZOL followed by vehicle. Serum osteocalcin, a marker of bone formation, increased rapidly after switching to TPTD from ZOL. The group treated with TPTD followed by ZOL did not lose BMD in the proximal tibia after TPTD was stopped, while the group treated with TPTD followed by vehicle did lose BMD. The BMD and bone strength of the lumbar vertebral body, femoral diaphysis, and proximal femur were greater in the group treated with TPTD followed by ZOL than in the group treated with TPTD followed by vehicle. The increase in serum osteocalcin and urinary CTX after withdrawal of TPTD was prevented by the switch from TPTD to ZOL. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that switching from ZOL to TPTD resulted in a non-attenuated anabolic response in the lumbar spine and femur of OVX rats. In addition, switching from TPTD to ZOL caused BMD to be maintained or further increased. If these results can be reproduced in a clinical setting, the sequential use of ZOL followed by TPTD or vice versa in the treatment of osteoporosis patients would contribute to increases in BMD that, hopefully, would translate into a corresponding decrease in the incidence of vertebral and non-vertebral fractures.

Abstract
AIMS Secretory phospholipase A2 is associated with ischaemic injury in the human heart, but the distribution of type V secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-V) remains unknown. The significance of sPLA2-V in myocardial infarction was investigated histopathologically. METHODS Sequential changes in the localization of sPLA2-V and its mRNA in myocardial tissues obtained from 30 autopsied hearts were examined by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization and compared with those of fibronectin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin (IL)-1beta, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). RESULTS No expression of sPLA2-V was observed in normal heart, but it was promptly expressed in wavy myofibres positive for fibronectin just after the onset of infarction. sPLA2-V was subsequently expressed in ischaemic cardiomyocytes around the lesion. The expression decreased at the granulation tissue and disappeared at the chronic stage with scar formation. The distribution of the signal for sPLA2-V mRNA paralleled that of the protein. Ischaemic myocytes around the lesion expressed VEGF, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and COX-2 at all stages. CONCLUSIONS sPLA2-V production in myocardium is limited to the acute phase of infarction. sPLA2-V may play a dual role, acting both to remove degraded cell-membrane through cooperative activity with COX-2 in necrotic areas and to attack ischaemic myocytes around the lesion via degradation of membrane phospholipids.

Abstract
We have recently shown that two distinct prostaglandin (PG) E(2) synthases show preferential functional coupling with upstream cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 in PGE(2) biosynthesis. To investigate whether other lineage-specific PG synthases also show preferential coupling with either COX isozyme, we introduced these enzymes alone or in combination into 293 cells to reconstitute their functional interrelationship. As did the membrane-bound PGE(2) synthase, the perinuclear enzymes thromboxane synthase and PGI(2) synthase generated their respective products via COX-2 in preference to COX-1 in both the -induced immediate and interleukin-1-induced delayed responses. Hematopoietic PGD(2) synthase preferentially used COX-1 and COX-2 in the -induced immediate and interleukin-1-induced delayed PGD(2)-biosynthetic responses, respectively. This enzyme underwent stimulus-dependent translocation from the cytosol to perinuclear compartments, where COX-1 or COX-2 exists. COX selectivity of these lineage-specific PG synthases was also significantly affected by the concentrations of arachidonate, which was added exogenously to the cells or supplied endogenously by the action of cytosolic or secretory phospholipase A(2). Collectively, the efficiency of coupling between COXs and specific PG synthases may be crucially influenced by their spatial and temporal compartmentalization and by the amount of arachidonate supplied by PLA(2)s at a moment when PG production takes place.

Abstract
Although it is well known that the hippocampal CA1 subfield is highly vulnerable to ischemic injury, cellular mechanisms leading to this neuronal degeneration are not fully understood. Using organotypic cultures of rat hippocampal slices, we determined whether phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is activated in response to ischemic conditions (OGD; oxygen and glucose deprivation). The PLA2 activity in the pyramidal cell layer increased immediately following a 35-min exposure to OGD, which was likely to be mediated by selective activation of cytosolic Ca2+-dependent PLA2 subtype (cPLA2). This enhancement lasted for at least 24 h. Interestingly, no apparent increase was detected in the dentate gyrus. Twenty-four hours after the OGD exposure, neuronal death was detected mainly in the CA1 region of hippocampal slices. To examine whether the PLA2 activation is causally or protectively involved in the ischemic injury, we investigated the effect of pharmacological blockade of PLA2 on the OGD-induced neuronal death. The PLA2 inhibitor bromophenacyl bromide efficiently prevented the cell death in a concentration-dependent manner. Similar results were obtained for the selective cPLA2 inhibitor AACOCF3. However, the Ca2+-independent PLA2 inhibitor bromoenol lactone and the secretory PLA2 inhibitor LY311727 were virtually ineffective. These results suggest that cPLA2 plays a causative role in the neuronal death following OGD exposure. Thus, the present study may provide novel therapeutic targets for the development of neuroprotective agents.

Abstract
We analyzed the ability of a diverse set of mammalian secreted phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) to release arachidonate for lipid mediator generation in two transfected cell lines. In human embryonic kidney 293 cells, the heparin-binding enzymes sPLA(2)-IIA, -IID, and -V promote stimulus-dependent arachidonic acid release and prostaglandin E(2) production in a manner dependent on the heparan sulfate proteoglycan glypican. In contrast, sPLA(2)-IB, -IIC, and -IIE, which bind weakly or not at all to heparanoids, fail to elicit arachidonate release, and addition of a heparin binding site to sPLA(2)-IIC allows it to release arachidonate. Heparin nonbinding sPLA(2)-X liberates arachidonic acid most likely from the phosphatidylcholine-rich outer plasma membrane in a glypican-independent manner. In rat mastocytoma RBL-2H3 cells that lack glypican, sPLA(2)-V and -X, which are unique among sPLA(2)s in being able to hydrolyze phosphatidylcholine-rich membranes, act most likely on the extracellular face of the plasma membrane to markedly augment IgE-dependent immediate production of leukotriene C(4) and platelet-activating factor. sPLA(2)-IB, -IIA, -IIC, -IID, and -IIE exert minimal effects in RBL-2H3 cells. These results are also supported by studies with sPLA(2) mutants and immunocytostaining and reveal that sPLA(2)-dependent lipid mediator generation occur by distinct (heparanoid-dependent and -independent) mechanisms in HEK293 and RBL-2H3 cells.

Abstract
Given the rapid progress of the prescribing/dispensing split, the ability of pharmacies to obtain and stock a small quantity of pharmaceuticals is seen as essential. Toho Yakuhin's experience in "divided package sales" (wholesalers open an original package supplied by the manufacturer and sell only a part of the contents) shows that the number of orders and sales amount, and the number of pharmacies ordering in sales have remarkably increased. One or two kinds of pharmaceuticals were ordered in 73% cases, and one or two units in about 50%. This implies that "divided package sales" are utilized to obtain rarely prescribed drugs. On the other hand, five or more kinds of pharmaceuticals were ordered in 10% of cases, and ten or more units in 17%. "Divided package sales" were more used for low-price drugs. These indicated that "divided package sales" seemed to be looked upon by pharmacies as a means of obtaining a small quantity of pharmaceuticals, and seemed to be used not only in an emergency but also routinely. There are several problems for wholesalers in operating "divided package sales", such as frequent delivery, delivery cost and information supply. Pharmacies should obtain a small quantity of pharmaceuticals by the routine delivery and should share the delivery cost. Pharmaceutical manufacturers' cooperation in printing necessary information on each immediate container will be useful. Though there could be alternative ways of obtaining a small quantity of pharmaceuticals, all of them have the matter of delivery. We believe "divided package sales" will contribute to this situation.

Abstract
Cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) plays a critical role in mast-cell-related allergic responses [Uozumi, Kume, Nagase, Nakatani, Ishii, Tashiro, Komagata, Maki, Ikuta, Ouchi et al. (1997) Nature (London) 390, 618-622]. Bone-marrow-derived mast cells from mice lacking cPLA(2) (cPLA(-/-)(2) mice) were used in order to better define the role of cPLA(2) in the maturation and degranulation of such cells. Cross-linking of high-affinity receptors for IgE (FcepsilonRI) on cells from cPLA(-/-)(2) mice led to the release of negligible amounts of arachidonic acid or its metabolites, the cysteinyl leukotrienes and prostaglandin D(2), indicating an essential role for cPLA(2) in the production of these allergic and pro-inflammatory lipid mediators. In addition, the histamine content of the mast cells and its release from the cells were reduced to 60%. While these results are in agreement with a reduced anaphylactic phenotype of cPLA(-/-)(2) mice, the ratios of release of histamine and beta-hexosaminidase were, paradoxically, significantly higher for cells from cPLA(-/-)(2) mice than for those from wild-type mice. Consistently, IgE-induced calcium influx in mast cells was greater and more prolonged in cells from cPLA(-/-)(2) mice than in those from wild-type mice. Thus the loss of cPLA(2) not only diminishes the release of lipid mediators, but also alters degranulation. While the overall effect is still a decrease in the release of mast cell mediators, explaining the in vivo findings, the present study proposes a novel link between cPLA(2) and the degranulation machinery.

Abstract
We have previously reported that in thrombin-stimulated human platelets, cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA2) is phosphorylated on Ser-505 by p38 protein kinase and on Ser-727 by an unknown kinase. Pharmacological inhibition of p38 leads to inhibition of cPLA2 phosphorylation at both Ser-505 and Ser-727 suggesting that the kinase responsible for phosphorylation on Ser-727 is activated in a p38-dependent pathway. By using Chinese hamster ovary, HeLa, and HEK293 cells stably transfected with wild type and phosphorylation site mutant forms of cPLA2, we show that phosphorylation of cPLA2 at both Ser-505 and Ser-727 and elevation of Ca(2+) leads to its activation in agonist-stimulated cells. The p38-activated protein kinases MNK1, MSK1, and PRAK1 phosphorylate cPLA2 in vitro uniquely on Ser-727 as shown by mass spectrometry. Furthermore, MNK1 and PRAK1, but not MSK1, is present in platelets and undergo modest activation in response to thrombin. Expression of a dominant negative form of MNK1 in HEK293 cells leads to significant inhibition of cPLA2-mediated arachidonate release. The results suggest that MNK1 or a closely related kinase is responsible for in vivo phosphorylation of cPLA2 on Ser-727.

Abstract
A spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of saponin in Yucca extract or its preparation for food additive use. A saponin fraction of Yucca extract was prepared by column chromatography with porous polymer, and hydrolyzed with a 2 mol/L mixture of hydrochloric acid-ethanol (1 + 1) to generate sapogenin. Sapogenin amounts were determined by measuring absorbance at 430 nm, based on the color reactions with anisaldehyde, sulfuric acid, and ethyl acetate. Recoveries from Yucca extracts were 91.5-95.1%, and the detection limit was 10 microg/kg. Commercial Yucca extracts for food additive use were composed of 5.6-6.4% (w/w) saponin, making it a minor component.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has suggested that cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) and several secretory PLA(2) (sPLA(2)) isozymes are signaling PLA(2)s that are functionally coupled with downstream cyclooxygenase (COX) isozymes for prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis. Arachidonic acid (AA) released by cPLA(2) and sPLA(2)s is supplied to both COX-1 and COX-2 in the immediate, and predominantly to COX-2 in the delayed, PG-biosynthetic responses. Vimentin, an intermediate filament component, acts as a functional perinuclear adapter for cPLA(2), in which the C2 domain of cPLA(2) associates with the head domain of vimentin in a Ca(2+)-sensitive manner. The heparin-binding signaling sPLA(2)-IIA, IID and V bind the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored heparan sulfate proteoglycan glypican, which plays a role in sorting of these isozymes into caveolae and perinuclear compartments. Phospholipid scramblase, which facilitates transbilayer movement of anionic phospholipids, renders the cellular membranes more susceptible to signaling sPLA(2)s. There is functional cooperation between cPLA(2) and signaling sPLA(2)s in that prior activation of cPLA(2) is required for the signaling sPLA(2)s to act properly. cPLA(2)-derived AA is oxidized by 12/15-lipoxygenase, the products of which not only augment the induction of sPLA(2) expression, but also cause membrane perturbation, leading to increased cellular susceptibility to the signaling sPLA(2)s. sPLA(2)-X, a heparin-non-binding sPLA(2) isozyme, is capable of releasing AA from intact cells in the absence of cofactors. This property is attributed to its ability to avidly hydrolyze zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine, a major phospholipid in the outer plasma membrane. sPLA(2)-V can also utilize this route in several cell types. Taken together, the AA-releasing function of sPLA(2)s depends on the presence of regulatory cofactors and interfacial binding to membrane phospholipids, which differ according to cell type, stimuli, secretory processes, and subcellular distributions.

Abstract
Here we report the molecular identification of cytosolic glutathione (GSH)-dependent prostaglandin (PG) E(2) synthase (cPGES), a terminal enzyme of the cyclooxygenase (COX)-1-mediated PGE(2) biosynthetic pathway. GSH-dependent PGES activity in the cytosol of rat brains, but not of other tissues, increased 3-fold after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Peptide microsequencing of purified enzyme revealed that it was identical to p23, which is reportedly the weakly bound component of the steroid hormone receptor/hsp90 complex. Recombinant p23 expressed in Escherichia coli and 293 cells exhibited all the features of PGES activity detected in rat brain cytosol. A tyrosine residue near the N terminus (Tyr(9)), which is known to be critical for the activity of cytosolic GSH S-transferases, was essential for PGES activity. The expression of cPGES/p23 was constitutive and was unaltered by proinflammatory stimuli in various cells and tissues, except that it was increased significantly in rat brain after LPS treatment. cPGES/p23 was functionally linked with COX-1 in marked preference to COX-2 to produce PGE(2) from exogenous and endogenous arachidonic acid, the latter being supplied by cytosolic phospholipase A(2) in the immediate response. Thus, functional coupling between COX-1 and cPGES/p23 may contribute to production of the PGE(2) that plays a role in maintenance of tissue homeostasis.

Abstract
Here we report the molecular identification of membrane-bound glutathione (GSH)-dependent prostaglandin (PG) E(2) synthase (mPGES), a terminal enzyme of the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-mediated PGE(2) biosynthetic pathway. The activity of mPGES was increased markedly in macrophages and osteoblasts following proinflammatory stimuli. cDNA for mouse and rat mPGESs encoded functional proteins that showed high homology with the human ortholog (microsomal glutathione S-transferase-like 1). mPGES expression was markedly induced by proinflammatory stimuli in various tissues and cells and was down-regulated by dexamethasone, accompanied by changes in COX-2 expression and delayed PGE(2) generation. Arg(110), a residue well conserved in the microsomal GSH S-transferase family, was essential for catalytic function. mPGES was functionally coupled with COX-2 in marked preference to COX-1, particularly when the supply of arachidonic acid was limited. Increased supply of arachidonic acid by explosive activation of cytosolic phospholipase A(2) allowed mPGES to be coupled with COX-1. mPGES colocalized with both COX isozymes in the perinuclear envelope. Moreover, cells stably cotransfected with COX-2 and mPGES grew faster, were highly aggregated, and exhibited aberrant morphology. Thus, COX-2 and mPGES are essential components for delayed PGE(2) biosynthesis, which may be linked to inflammation, fever, osteogenesis, and even cancer.

Abstract
Although it has been proposed that arachidonate release by several secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) isozymes is modulated by cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2), the cellular component(s) that intermediates between these two signaling PLA2s remains unknown. Here we provide evidence that 12- or 15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX), which lies downstream of cPLA2, plays a pivotal role in cytokine-induced gene expression and function of sPLA2-IIA. The sPLA2-IIA expression and associated PGE2 generation induced by cytokines in rat fibroblastic 3Y1 cells were markedly attenuated by antioxidants that possess 12/15-LOX inhibitory activity. 3Y1 cells expressed 12/15-LOX endogenously, and forcible overexpression of 12/15-LOX in these cells greatly enhanced cytokine-induced expression of sPLA2-IIA, with a concomitant increase in delayed PG generation. Moreover, studies using 293 cells stably transfected with sPLA2-IIA revealed that stimulus-dependent hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids by sPLA2-IIA was enhanced by overexpression of 12/15-LOX. These results indicate that the product(s) generated by the cPLA2-12/15-LOX pathway following cell activation may play two roles: enhancement of sPLA2-IIA gene expression and membrane sensitization that leads to accelerated sPLA2-IIA-mediated hydrolysis.

Abstract
We herein demonstrate that mast cells express all known members of the group II subfamily of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) isozymes, and those having heparin affinity markedly enhance the exocytotic response. Rat mastocytoma RBL-2H3 cells transfected with heparin-binding (sPLA2-IIA, -V, and -IID), but not heparin-nonbinding (sPLA2-IIC), enzymes released more granule-associated markers (beta-hexosaminidase and histamine) than mock- or cytosolic PLA2alpha (cPLA2alpha)-transfected cells after stimulation with IgE and Ag. Site-directed mutagenesis of sPLA2-IIA and -V revealed that both the catalytic and heparin-binding domains are essential for this function. Confocal laser and electron microscopic analyses revealed that sPLA2-IIA, which was stored in secretory granules in unstimulated cells, accumulated on the membranous sites where fusion between the plasma membrane and granule membranes occurred in activated cells. These results suggest that the heparin-binding sPLA2s bind to the perigranular membranes through their heparin-binding domain, and lysophospholipids produced in situ by their enzymatic action may facilitate the ongoing membrane fusion. In contrast to the redundant role of sPLA2-IIA, -IID, and -V in the regulation of degranulation, only sPLA2-V had the ability to markedly augment IgE/Ag-stimulated immediate PGD2 production, which reached a level comparable to that elicited by cPLA2alpha. The latter observation reveals an unexplored functional segregation among the three related isozymes expressed in the same cell population.

Abstract
Whereas exogenous types IB and X secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) elicited prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2)) production in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC), sPLA(2)-IIA was unable to do so. In search of a mechanism underlying this cellular refractoriness to exogenous sPLA(2)-IIA, we now report that this isozyme is promptly associated with cell surfaces, internalized, and then degraded in BMMC. Adsorption of sPLA(2)-IIA to BMMC was prevented by addition of heparin to the medium. Moreover, a heparin-nonbinding sPLA(2)-IIA mutant did not bind to BMMC. These results indicate that this sPLA(2)-IIA inactivation process depends on its rapid binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) on BMMC surfaces. Thus, the present observations represent a particular situation in which cell surface HSPG exhibit a negative regulatory effect on cellular function of sPLA(2)-IIA, and argue that HSPG does not always act as a functional adapter for heparin-binding sPLA(2)s in mammalian cells as has been demonstrated before.

Abstract
We performed reconstitution analyses of functional interaction between phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) and phospholipase D (PLD) enzymes. Cotransfection of HEK293 cells with cytosolic (cPLA(2)) or type IIA secretory (sPLA(2)-IIA) PLA(2) and PLD(2), but not PLD(1), led to marked augmentation of stimulus-induced arachidonate release. Interleukin-1-stimulated arachidonate release was accompanied by prostaglandin E(2) production via cyclooxygenase-2, the expression of which was augmented by PLD(2). Conversely, activation of PLD(2), not PLD(1), was facilitated by cPLA(2) or sPLA(2)-IIA. Thus, our results revealed functional crosstalk between signaling PLA(2)s and PLD(2) in the regulation of various cellular responses in which these enzymes have been implicated.

Abstract
Cytosolic phospholipase A(2)alpha (cPLA(2)alpha; type IVA), an essential initiator of stimulus-dependent arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism, underwent caspase-mediated cleavage at Asp(522) during apoptosis. Although the resultant catalytically inactive N-terminal fragment, cPLA(2)(1-522), was inessential for cell growth and the apoptotic process, it was constitutively associated with cellular membranes and attenuated both the A23187-elicited immediate and the interleukin-1-dependent delayed phases of AA release by several phospholipase A(2)s (PLA(2)s) involved in eicosanoid generation, without affecting spontaneous AA release by PLA(2)s implicated in phospholipid remodeling. Confocal microscopic analysis revealed that cPLA(2)(1-522) was distributed in the nucleus. Pharmacological and transfection studies revealed that Ca(2+)-independent PLA(2) (iPLA(2); type VI), a phospholipid remodeling PLA(2), contributes to the cell death-associated increase in fatty acid release. iPLA(2) was cleaved at Asp(183) by caspase-3 to a truncated enzyme lacking most of the first ankyrin repeat, and this cleavage resulted in increased iPLA(2) functions. iPLA(2) had a significant influence on cell growth or death, according to cell type. Collectively, the caspase-truncated form of cPLA(2)alpha behaves like a naturally occurring dominant-negative molecule for stimulus-induced AA release, rendering apoptotic cells no longer able to produce lipid mediators, whereas the caspase-truncated form of iPLA(2) accelerates phospholipid turnover that may lead to apoptotic membranous changes.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL-)1 stimulates prostaglandin E(2)(PGE(2)) generation in fibroblasts, and preferential couplings between particular phospholipase A(2)(PLA(2)) and cyclooxygenase (COX) isozymes are implicated with IL-1-induced delayed PGE(2)generation. The regulatory effects of interferon (IFN)-gamma and IL-4 on IL-1beta-induced COX, PLA(2)isoforms expression and terminal delayed PGE(2)generation were examined in three types of human fibroblasts. These human fibroblasts constitutively expressed cytosolic PLA(2)(cPLA(2)) and COX-1 enzymes, and exhibited delayed PGE(2)generation in response to IL-1beta. IL-1beta also stimulated expression of cPLA(2)and COX-2 only, while constitutive and IL-1beta-induced type IIA and type V secretory PLA(2)s (sPLA(2)s) expression could not be detected. A COX-2 inhibitor and cPLA(2)inhibitor markedly suppressed the IL-1beta-induced delayed PGE(2)generation, while a type IIA sPLA(2)inhibitor failed to affect it. IFN-gamma and IL-4 dramatically inhibited the IL-1beta-induced delayed PGE(2)generation; these cytokines apparently suppressed IL-1beta-stimulated COX-2 expression and only weakly suppressed cPLA(2)expression in response to IL-1beta. These results indicate that IL-1beta-induced delayed PGE(2)generation in these human fibroblasts mainly depends on de novo induction of COX-2 and cPLA(2), irrespective of the constitutive presence of COX-1, and that IFN-gamma and IL-4 inhibit IL-1beta-induced delayed PGE(2)generation by suppressing, predominantly, COX-2 expression.

Abstract
Recent recognition of the rapidly growing sPLA2 family has led to a suggestion that some of the previously described functions of sPLA2-IIA need to be reevaluated, since studies based upon enzyme activities and using inhibitors or antibodies against sPLA2-IIA may not discriminate these sPLA2s. Our present studies reconfirm the involvement of sPLA2-IIA in biological responses, demonstrated significant crosstalk between the two Ca(2+)-dependent PLA2s (cPLA2 and sPLA2) where one enzyme is required for the induction of the other, and revealed segregated coupling of discrete PLA2 and COX enzymes in the different phases of PG biosynthesis. Based upon the analysis of cells derived from sPLA2-IIA "natural knock-out" mice, it is apparent that sPLA2-IIA is not essential for the initiation of delayed PGE2 biosynthesis. However, it is capable of contributing to the delayed response as an enhancer when appropriately induced by proinflammatory stimuli, leading to optimal COX-2-dependent PGE2 generation. Importantly, in order for sPLA2-IIA (or related sPLA2 isozymes) to attack the biological membranes, so-called "membrane rearrangement" should take place in activated, but not resting, cells. Membrane rearrangement also occurs when cells are undergoing apoptosis, during which acidic phospholipids, the preferred substrates for sPLA2-IIA, are exposed on the outer leaflet of the plasma membranes. Nonetheless, in view of the dramatically elevated levels of sPLA2-IIA in inflamed or ischemic sites, it is likely that this extracellular isozyme participates in the expansion of chronic tissue disorders by augmenting generation of proinflammatory eicosanoids or lysophospholipids, depending upon the states of the inflammatory response.

Abstract
As also detailed in our accompanying papers in this issue, recent studies have revealed functional crosstalk and segregation between PLA2s, COXs, and terminal PG synthases in various cells (Table I). Among the PLA2s, cPLA2 is required for all three responses, and sPLA2-IIA augments the delayed response in preference to the immediate response. sPLA2-IIA associates with proteoglycans on the surface of stimulus-primed cells to exert its functions. COX-1 is utilized only in the immediate response and COX-2 is a prerequisite for the delayed response. The induced immediate response is often mediated by COX-2 rather than by COX-1, especially when the end product is PGE2. In addition to segregated utilization of these enzymes, significant crosstalk and/or synergism between them, which is often cell type specific, is also obvious. For instance, sPLA2 acts as an enhancer of COX-2 expression in rat mast cells, functional cPLA2 is required for sPLA2 induction in rat fibroblasts, and sPLA2 augments cPLA2 and COX-2 expression in mouse osteoblasts via endogenous PGE1. Moreover, differential coupling between COXs and downstream terminal PG synthases is also evident in macrophages, in which COX-1 and COX-2 are preferentially coupled with TXS and PGES, respectively. Thus, different PG-biosynthetic enzymes, acting on different cellular AA pools at different locations and being regulated by separate but interacting mechanisms, confer on the system great versatility in ensuring that both immediate and delayed AA-derived mediators are efficiently generated during cellular responses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN To assess prostaglandin (PG) E2 production by osteoblasts during the mineralizing phase after interleukin (IL)-1beta stimulation, using an in vitro system of rat calvarial cells cultured for 21 days. METHODS The cells, which reached confluence after 3 days, were designated day 0 cells. Culture was continued for a further 21 days after confluence. The cells on the 21st day of the culture were designated day 21 cells. RESULTS The PGE2 concentration in the medium of the day 21 cells was increased 72 h after IL-1beta treatment, and reached a peak level approximately 1,400 times that of the day 0 cells 6 h after IL-1beta treatment. We examined the effects of IL-1beta on PGE2 production and changes in the relevant enzyme activities, and found that the activities of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), type II secretory PLA2 (sPLA2) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in the day 21 cells were increased. Both selective COX-2 inhibitor and cPLA2 inhibitor abolished PGE2 generation, whereas an sPLA2 inhibitor partially inhibited it. Taken together, these results indicate that COX-2 and cPLA2 play pivotal roles and sPLA2 is involved in IL-1beta-stimulated PGE2 production by these cells. Furthermore, we found that IL-Ibeta treatment induced PGE synthase activity and this correlated well with PGE2 production. CONCLUSION Augmented PGE2 production by mineralizing osteoblasts after IL-1beta treatment, and the involvement of IL-1beta-induced cPLA2, sPLA2, COX-2 and PGE synthase activities in this phenomenon were demonstrated.

Abstract
Mammalian secreted phospholipases A(2) (sPLA2s) comprise a group of at least eight enzymes, including the recently identified group X sPLA2. A bacterial expression system was developed to produce human group X sPLA2 (hGX). Inhibition studies show that the sPLA2 inhibitor LY311727 binds modestly more tightly to human group IIA sPLA2 than to hGX and that a pyrazole-based inhibitor of group IIA sPLA2 is much less active against hGX. The phospholipid head group preference of vesicle-bound hGX was determined. hGX binds tightly to phosphatidylcholine vesicles, which is thought to be required to act efficiently on cells. Tryptophan 67 hGX makes a significant contribution to interfacial binding to zwitterionic vesicles. As little as 10 ng/ml hGX releases arachidonic acid for cyclooxygenase-2- dependent prostaglandin E(2) generation when added exogenously to adherent mammalian cells. In contrast, human group IIA, rat group V, and mouse group IB sPLA2s are virtually inactive at releasing arachidonate when added exogenously to adherent cells. Dislodging cells from the growth surface enhances the ability of all the sPLA2s to release fatty acids. Studies with CHO-K1 cell mutants show that binding of sPLA2s to glycosaminoglycans is not the basis for poor plasma membrane hydrolysis by group IB, IIA, and V sPLA2s.

Abstract
Cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) alpha plays critical roles in lipid mediator synthesis. We performed far-Western analysis and identified a 60-kDa protein (P60) that interacted with cPLA(2)alpha in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Peptide microsequencing revealed that purified P60 was identical to vimentin, a major component of the intermediate filament. The interaction occurred between the C2 domain of cPLA(2)alpha and the head domain of vimentin. Immunofluorescence microscopic analysis demonstrated that cPLA(2)alpha and vimentin colocalized around the perinuclear area in cPLA(2)alpha-overexpressing human embryonic kidney 293 cells following A23187 stimulation. Forcible expression of vimentin in vimentin-deficient SW13 cells augmented A23187-induced arachidonate release. Moreover, overexpression of the vimentin head domain in rat fibroblastic 3Y1 cells exerted a dominant inhibitory effect on arachidonate metabolism, significantly reducing A23187-induced arachidonate release and attendant prostanoid generation. These results suggest that vimentin is an adaptor for cPLA(2)alpha to function properly during the eicosanoid-biosynthetic process.

Abstract
A 14-year retrospective study was performed on 47 odontomas from the files of the 1st Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Nihon University School of Dentistry. Fifty-seven percent of the patients were male and 42.6% were female. The age distribution was 8 to 48 years with a mean age of 22 +/- 9.0 years. There were no particular symptoms associated with the odontomas, and 63.8% of our patients had no symptoms. However, 12 patients complained of swelling and 9 of pain. The tumor was found in the maxilla in 42.6% and in the mandible in 57.4%. According to the WHO histological type classification, 53.2% of the tumors were classified as compound odontoma and 46.8% as complex odontoma. The size of the tumor ranged from 5 mm to 42 mm in diameter. The average complex odontoma was much bigger than the average compound odontoma. Ghost cells were found 11 cases in our series. In addition, odontogenic epithelium was found in 16 cases. Twenty seven patients had impacted teeth in association with odontoma and 24 of the 27 teeth were removed at the time of surgical enucleation of the tumor, while 3 cases were treated by orthodontically assisted eruption. There was no recurrence in any of the studied cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN We investigated the effect of a new class of COX-2 inhibitor, rutaecarpine, on the production of PGD2 in bone marrow derived mast cells (BMMC) and PGE2 in COX-2 transfected HEK293 cells. Inflammation was induced by lambda-carrageenan in male Splague-Dawley (SD) rats. MATERIAL Rutaecarpine (8,13-Dihydroindolo[2',3':3,4]pyridol[2,1-b]quinazolin -5(7H)-one) was isolated from the fruits of Evodia rutaecarpa. BMMC were cultured with WEHI-3 conditioned medium. c-Kit ligand and IL-10 were obtained by their expression in baculovirus. METHODS The generation of PGD2 and PGE2 were determined by their assay kit. COX-1 and COX-2 protein and mRNA expression was determined by BMMC in the presence of KL, LPS and IL-10. TREATMENT Rutaecarpine and indomethacin dissolved in 0.1% carboxymethyl cellulose was administered intraperitoneally and, 1 h later, lambda-carrageenan solution was injected to right hind paw of rats. Paw volumes were measured using plethysmometer 5 h after lambda-carrageenan injection. RESULTS Rutaecarpine inhibited COX-2 and COX-1 dependent phases of PGD2 generation in BMMC in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 0.28 microM and 8.7 microM, respectively. It inhibited COX-2-dependent conversion of exogenous arachidonic acid to PGE2 in a dose-dependent manner by the COX-2-transfected HEK293 cells. However, rutaecarpine inhibited neither PLA2 and COX-1 activity nor COX-2 protein and mRNA expression up to the concentration of 30 microM in BMMC, indicating that rutaecarpine directly inhibited COX-2 activity. Furthermore, rutaecarpine showed in vivo anti-inflammatory activity on rat lambda-carrageenan induced paw edema by intraperitoneal administration. CONCLUSION Anti-inflammatory activity of Evodia rutaecarpa could be attributed at least in part by inhibition of COS-2.

Abstract
We have recently reported that members of the heparin-binding group II subfamily of secretory PLA(2)s (sPLA(2)s) (types IIA and V), when transfected into 293 cells, released [(3)H]arachidonic acid (AA) preferentially in response to interleukin-1 (IL-1) and acted as "signaling" PLA(2)s that were functionally coupled with prostaglandin biosynthesis. Here we show that these group II subfamily sPLA(2)s and the type X sPLA(2) behave in a different manner, the former being more efficiently coupled with the prostaglandin-biosynthetic pathway than the latter, in 293 transfectants. Type X sPLA(2), which bound only minimally to cell surface proteoglycans, augmented the release of both [(3)H]AA and [(3)H]oleic acid in the presence of serum but not IL-1. Both types IIA and V sPLA(2), the AA released by which was efficiently converted to prostaglandin E(2), markedly augmented IL-1-induced expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in a heparin-sensitive fashion, whereas type X sPLA(2) lacked the ability to augment COX-2 expression, thereby exhibiting the poor prostaglandin E(2)-biosynthetic response unless either of the COX isozymes was forcibly introduced into type X sPLA(2)-expressing cells. Implication of phospholipid scramblase, an enzyme responsible for the perturbation of plasma membrane asymmetry, revealed that the scramblase-transfected cells became more sensitive to types IIA and V, but not X, sPLA(2), releasing both [(3)H]AA and [(3)H]oleic acid in an IL-1-independent manner. Thus, although phospholipid scramblase-mediated alteration in plasma membrane asymmetry actually led to the increased cellular susceptibility to the group II subfamily of sPLA(2)s, several lines of evidence suggest that it does not entirely mimic their actions on cells after IL-1 signaling. Interestingly, coexpression of type IIA or V, but not X, sPLA(2) and phospholipid scramblase resulted in a marked reduction in cell growth, revealing an unexplored antiproliferative aspect of particular classes of sPLA(2).

Abstract
An emerging body of evidence suggests that type IIA secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-IIA) participates in the amplification of the stimulus-induced cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-dependent delayed prostaglandin (PG)-biosynthetic response in several cell types. However, the biological importance of the ability of sPLA(2)-IIA to bind to heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) on cell surfaces has remained controversial. Here we show that glypican, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored HSPG, acts as a physical and functional adaptor for sPLA(2)-IIA. sPLA(2)-IIA-dependent PGE(2) generation by interleukin-1-stimulated cells was markedly attenuated by treatment of the cells with heparin, heparinase or GPI-specific phospholipase C, which solubilized the cell surface-associated sPLA(2)-IIA. Overexpression of glypican-1 increased the association of sPLA(2)-IIA with the cell membrane, and glypican-1 was coimmunoprecipitated by the antibody against sPLA(2)-IIA. Glypican-1 overexpression led to marked augmentation of sPLA(2)-IIA-mediated arachidonic acid release, PGE(2) generation, and COX-2 induction in interleukin-1-stimulated cells, particularly when the sPLA(2)-IIA expression level was suboptimal. Immunofluorescent microscopic analyses of cytokine-stimulated cells revealed that sPLA(2)-IIA was present in the caveolae, a microdomain in which GPI-anchored proteins reside, and also appeared in the perinuclear area in proximity to COX-2. We therefore propose that a GPI-anchored HSPG glypican facilitates the trafficking of sPLA(2)-IIA into particular subcellular compartments, and arachidonic acid thus released from the compartments may link efficiently to the downstream COX-2-mediated PG biosynthesis.

Abstract
In view of the potential role of prostaglandins (PGs) in development of glomerular hyperfiltration leading to diabetic nephropathy, we studied the temporal relationship of the activity of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), a rate-limiting enzyme for eicosanoid biosynthesis, with hyperfiltration and the histological changes in glomeruli using OLETF rats, a model for non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Diabetes mellitus and associated histopathological changes, which developed spontaneously by 30-46 weeks after birth of OLETF rats, were accompanied by approximately 65% increase in glomerular cPLA2 activity that showed significant correlations with elevated plasma glucose levels and creatinine clearance. Moreover, mesangial cells cultured for 5 days with high glucose exhibited approximately 2-fold higher cPLA2 activity than those cultured with physiologic level of glucose. These data suggest that increased glomerular cPLA2 activity leads to production of PGs, which may promote the progression of early diabetic glomerular hyperfiltration and subsequent diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Types IIA and V secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) are structurally related to each other and their genes are tightly linked to the same chromosome locus. An emerging body of evidence suggests that sPLA2-IIA plays an augmentative role in long-term prostaglandin (PG) generation in cells activated by proinflammatory stimuli; however, the mechanism underlying the functional regulation of sPLA2-V remains largely unknown. Here we show that sPLA2-V is more widely expressed than sPLA2-IIA in the mouse, in which its expression is elevated by proinflammatory stimuli such as lipopolysaccharide. In contrast, proinflammatory stimuli induced sPLA2-IIA in marked preference to sPLA2-V in the rat. Cotransfection of sPLA2-V with cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, but not with COX-1, into human embryonic kidney 293 cells dramatically increased the interleukin-1-dependent PGE2 generation occurring over a 24 h of culture period. Rat mastocytoma RBL-2H3 cells overexpressing sPLA2-V exhibited increased IgE-dependent PGD2 generation and accelerated beta-hexosaminidase exocytosis. These results suggest that sPLA2-V acts as a regulator of inflammation-associated cellular responses. This possible compensation of sPLA2-V for sPLA2-IIA in many, if not all, tissues may also explain why some mouse strains with natural disruption of the sPLA2-IIA gene exhibit few abnormalities during their life-spans.

Abstract
By analyzing human embryonic kidney 293 cell transfectants stably overexpressing various types of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), we have shown that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) preferentially activate type IIA secretory PLA2 (sPLA2-IIA)-mediated arachidonic acid (AA) release from interleukin-1 (IL-1)-stimulated cells. When 293 cells prelabeled with 13H]AA were incubated with exogenous PUFAs in the presence of IL-1 and serum, there was a significant increase in [3H]AA release (in the order AA > linoleic acid > oleic acid), which was augmented markedly by sPLA2-IIA and modestly by type IV cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2), but only minimally by type VI Ca2(+)-independent PLA2, overexpression. Transfection of cPLA2 into sPLA2-IIA-expressing cells produced a synergistic increase in IL-1-dependent [3H]AA release and subsequent prostaglandin production. Our results support the proposal that prior production of AA by cPLA2 in cytokine-stimulated cells destabilizes the cellular membranes, thereby rendering them more susceptible to subsequent hydrolysis by sPLA2-IIA.

Abstract
We identified a unique phospholipase A (PLA) with relatively low heparin affinity, which was distinguishable from the heparin-binding secretory PLA2s, in rat, mouse, and bovine brains and testes. The partially purified enzyme was Ca2+-independent at neutral pH but Ca2+-dependent at alkaline pH. It predominantly hydrolyzed phosphatidic acid (PA) in the presence of Triton X-100 and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in its absence. When rat brain-derived endogenous phospholipids were used as a substrate, the enzyme released saturated fatty acids in marked preference to unsaturated ones. Consistent with this observation, the enzyme hydrolyzed sn-1 ester bonds in the substrates about 2,000 times more efficiently than sn-2 ones, thereby acting like PLA1. The enzyme also exhibited weak but significant sn-1 lysophospholipase activity. On the basis of its limited tissue distribution, substrate head group specificity and immunochemical properties, this enzyme appears to be identical to the recently cloned PA-preferring PLA1.

Abstract
We compared the subtype diagnoses of schizophrenia (ICD-10) of 58 Japanese and 61 European psychiatrists matched for clinical experience using 10 case summaries. As a result, there are marked differences between Japanese and European psychiatrists in the mode of subtype diagnoses of schizophrenia rather than in the clinical pictures of the patients themselves; the hebephrenic type (F20.1) was more likely to be diagnosed by Japanese psychiatrists, while the paranoid type (F20.0) was more frequently diagnosed by European psychiatrists. Japanese psychiatrists take into account the patient's age at onset and the clinical course of the disease in identifying the subtype, while European psychiatrists tend to focus on the presenting symptoms, particularly paranoid symptoms.

Abstract
Several distinct phospholipase A2s (PLA2s) and two cyclooxygenases (COXs) were transfected, alone or in combination, into human embryonic kidney 293 cells, and their functional coupling during immediate and delayed prostaglandin (PG)-biosynthetic responses was reconstituted. Signaling PLA2s, i.e. cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) (type IV) and two secretory PLA2s (sPLA2), types IIA (sPLA2-IIA) and V (sPLA2-V), promoted arachidonic acid (AA) release from their respective transfectants after stimulation with calcium ionophore or, when bradykinin receptor was cotransfected, with bradykinin, which evoked the immediate response, and interleukin-1 plus serum, which induced the delayed response. Experiments on cells transfected with either COX alone revealed subtle differences between the PG-biosynthetic properties of the two isozymes in that COX-1 and COX-2 were favored over the other in the presence of high and low exogenous AA concentrations, respectively. Moreover, COX-2, but not COX-1, could turn on endogenous AA release, which was inhibited by a cPLA2 inhibitor. When PLA2 and COX were coexpressed, AA released by cPLA2, sPLA2-IIA and sPLA2-V was converted to PGE2 by both COX-1 and COX-2 during the immediate response and predominantly by COX-2 during the delayed response. Ca2+-independent PLA2 (iPLA2) (type VI), which plays a crucial role in phospholipid remodeling, failed to couple with COX-2 during the delayed response, whereas it was linked to ionophore-induced immediate PGE2 generation via COX-1 in marked preference to COX-2. Finally, coculture of PLA2 and COX transfectants revealed that extracellular sPLA2s-IIA and -V, but neither intracellular cPLA2 nor iPLA2, augmented PGE2 generation by neighboring COX-expressing cells, implying that the heparin-binding sPLA2s play a particular role as paracrine amplifiers of the PG-biosynthetic response signal from one cell to another.

Abstract
Mast cells exhibit a biphasic (immediate and delayed) eicosanoid-biosynthetic response after stimulation with particular cytokines or Fc epsilonRI (high affinity receptor for IgE) cross-linking. Treatment of rat serosal connective tissue mast cells (CTMC) with nerve growth factor (NGF) induced only the delayed phase of PGD2 generation that depended on inducible cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), but not constitutive COX-1, even though the subcellular distributions of these isoforms were similar. Experiments using several phospholipase A2 (PLA2) isozyme-specific probes and inhibitors suggested that both constitutive cytosolic PLA2 and inducible type IIA secretory PLA2 (sPLA2) are involved in NGF-initiated, COX-2-dependent, delayed PGD2 generation in rat CTMC. A type IIA sPLA2 inhibitor, but neither cytosolic PLA2 nor COX inhibitors, reduced, while adding exogenous type IIA sPLA2 augmented, NGF-induced COX-2 expression and its attendant PGD2 generation, indicating that the sPLA2-mediated increase in delayed PGD2 generation was attributable mainly to enhanced COX-2 expression. Type IIA sPLA2 and its close relative type V sPLA2 associated with fibroblastic cell surfaces increased NGF-induced COX-2 expression more efficiently than the soluble enzymes, revealing a particular juxtacrine sPLA2 presentation route. Surprisingly, catalytically inactive type IIA sPLA2 mutants, which were incapable of promoting arachidonic acid release from cytokine-primed cells, retained the ability to enhance COX-2 expression in CTMC, indicating that the COX-2-inducing activities of sPLA2 are independent of their catalytic functions.

Abstract
In response to bradykinin, phosphorylated MAP kinases (ERK-1 and ERK-2) were abundantly increased in HEK 293 cells, which overexpress the rat B2 kinin receptor. In a similar way des-Arg9-bradykinin stimulation of B1 kinin receptor-overexpressing HEK 293 cells caused activation of the same species of MAP kinase. Furthermore, nuclear translocation of transcription factor AP-1 was also found in the cells after stimulation with either agonist. PD98059, a MAP kinase kinase (MEK-1) inhibitor, blocked the agonist-induced AP-1 translocation as well as the phosphorylation of the MAP kinases. This communication provides the first evidence for both B1 and B2 kinin receptors mediating the MAP kinase signaling pathway to activate AP-1.

Abstract
Pretreatment of mice with lipopolysaccharide for 16 h enhanced the number of acetic acid-induced writhing reactions by 2 to 3-fold. In the peritoneal exudates at 10 min after acetic acid injection, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha was detected as a major prostanoid, and this level increased by several-fold by the pretreatment with lipopolysaccharide. The writhing reaction and the prostaglandin formation were almost completely suppressed by indomethacin. However, the lipopolysaccharide-induced enhancement of writhing reaction and an increment of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha level were diminished by the administration of cyclooxygenase-2-selective inhibitors, such as NS-398, nimesulide, or L-745337, to a level similar to the mice that did not receive lipopolysaccharide. Cyclooxygenase-2 protein in the exudates became detectable at 5-48 h after the lipopolysaccharide-pretreatment. These results suggest that the increased prostaglandin production by cyclooxygenase-2 could be responsible for enhancement of the acetic acid-induced writhing reaction by lipopolysaccharide pretreatment.

Abstract
We examined the relative contributions of five distinct mammalian phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes (cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2; type IV), secretory PLA2s (sPLA2s; types IIA, V, and IIC), and Ca2+-independent PLA2 (iPLA2; type VI)) to arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism by overexpressing them in human embryonic kidney 293 fibroblasts and Chinese hamster ovary cells. Analyses using these transfectants revealed that cPLA2 was a prerequisite for both the calcium ionophore-stimulated immediate and the interleukin (IL)-1- and serum-induced delayed phases of AA release. Type IIA sPLA2 (sPLA2-IIA) mediated delayed AA release and, when expressed in larger amounts, also participated in immediate AA release. sPLA2-V, but not sPLA2-IIC, behaved in a manner similar to sPLA2-IIA. Both sPLA2s-IIA and -V, but not sPLA2-IIC, were heparin-binding PLA2s that exhibited significant affinity for cell-surface proteoglycans, and site-directed mutations in residues responsible for their membrane association or catalytic activity markedly reduced their ability to release AA from activated cells. Pharmacological studies using selective inhibitors as well as co-expression experiments supported the proposal that cPLA2 is crucial for these sPLA2s to act properly. The AA-releasing effects of these sPLA2s were independent of the expression of the M-type sPLA2 receptor. Both cPLA2, sPLA2s-IIA, and -V were able to supply AA to downstream cyclooxygenase-2 for IL-1-induced prostaglandin E2 biosynthesis. iPLA2 increased the spontaneous release of fatty acids, and this was further augmented by serum but not by IL-1. Finally, iPLA2-derived AA was not metabolized to prostaglandin E2. These observations provide evidence for the functional cross-talk or segregation of distinct PLA2s in mammalian cells in regulating AA metabolism and phospholipid turnover.

Abstract
Fas-mediated apoptosis of human leukemic U937 cells was accompanied by increased arachidonic acid (AA) and oleic acid release from membrane glycerophospholipids, indicating phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activation. During apoptosis, type IV cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2), a PLA2 isozyme with an apparent molecular mass of 110 kDa critical for stimulus-coupled AA release, was converted to a 78-kDa fragment with concomitant loss of catalytic activity. Cleavage of cPLA2 correlated with increased caspase-3-like protease activity in apoptotic cells and was abrogated by a caspase-3 inhibitor. A mutant cPLA2 protein in which Asp522 was replaced by Asn, which aligns with the consensus sequence of the caspase-3 cleavage site (DXXD downward arrowX), was resistant to apo-ptosis-associated proteolysis. Moreover, a COOH-terminal deletion mutant of cPLA2 truncated at Asp522 comigrated with the 78-kDa fragment and exhibited no enzymatic activity. Thus, caspase-3-mediated cPLA2 cleavage eventually leads to destruction of a catalytic triad essential for cPLA2 activity, thereby terminating its AA-releasing function. In contrast, the activity of type VI Ca2+-independent PLA2 (iPLA2), a PLA2 isozyme implicated in phospholipid remodeling, remained intact during apoptosis. Inhibitors of iPLA2, but neither cPLA2 nor secretory PLA2 inhibitors, suppressed AA release markedly and, importantly, delayed cell death induced by Fas. Therefore, we conclude that iPLA2-mediated fatty acid release is facilitated in Fas-stimulated cells and plays a modifying although not essential role in the apoptotic cell death process.

Abstract
Emerging evidence has suggested the pivotal role of mast cells in a host defense against bacterial infection. In this paper, we report that bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent enhancer of the cytokine- and IgE-dependent delayed responses of IL-3-dependent mouse bone marrow-derived cultured mast cells (BMMC). LPS, although showing minimal effects, significantly augmented the c-kit ligand (KL)- or IgE-dependent expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and the attendant delayed PGD2 generation, with IL-10 and IL-4 acting as potentiating and inhibitory cytokines, respectively. The COX-2-inducing activity of LPS was mimicked by exogenous IL-1 beta. Assessment of endogenous cytokine induction revealed that IL-1 beta expression was stimulated by either LPS or exogenous IL-1 beta. IL-6 expression occurred in parallel with COX-2 expression. IL-10 expression, which lagged behind COX-2 expression, depended on exogenous IL-10, but not on LPS and IL-1 beta. Thus, LPS and IL-1 beta exhibited similar biological activities in terms of COX-2 and endogenous cytokine expression. However, adding an antibody against the type I IL-1 receptor to BMMC, which abrogated the effects of IL-1 beta, failed to neutralize the effects of LPS. These results suggest that LPS activates BMMC through the signal transduction pathway shared with exogenous IL-1 beta, rather than exerting its action indirectly via the production of endogenous IL-1 beta.

Abstract
We examined herein the functional linkage of enzymes regulating the initial, intermediate, and terminal steps of PG biosynthesis to provide PGs in rat peritoneal macrophages stimulated with LPS and/or A23187. Quiescent cells stimulated with A23187 produced thromboxane B2 (TXB2) in marked preference to PGE2 within 30 to 60 min (constitutive immediate response), which was mediated by preexisting cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), and TX synthase. Cells treated with LPS predominantly produced PGE2 during culture for 3 to 24 h (delayed response), where cPLA2 and secretory PLA2 functioned cooperatively with inducible COX-2, which was, in turn, coupled with inducible PGE2 synthase. Cells primed for 12 h with LPS and stimulated for 30 min with A23187 produced PGE2 in marked preference to TXB2 (induced immediate response), in which three inducible enzymes, cPLA2, COX-2, and PGE2 synthase, were functionally linked. Preferred coupling of the two inducible enzymes, COX-2 and PGE2 synthase, was further confirmed by the ability of LPS-treated cells to convert exogenous arachidonic acid to PGE2 optimally at a time when both enzymes were simultaneously induced. These results suggest that distinct PG biosynthetic enzymes display segregated functional coupling following different transmembrane stimulation events even when enzymes that catalyze similar reactions in vitro coexist in the same cells.

Abstract
Activation of rat fibroblastic 3Y1 cells with interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) induced delayed prostaglandin (PG) E2 generation over 6-48 h, which occurred in parallel with de novo induction of type IIA secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, without accompanied by changes in the constitutive expression of type IV cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) and COX-1. Types V and IIC sPLA2s were barely detectable in these cells. Studies using an anti-type IIA sPLA2 antibody, sPLA2 inhibitors, and a type IIA sPLA2-specific antisense oligonucleotide revealed that IL-1 beta/TNF alpha-induced delayed PGE2 generation by these cells was largely dependent on inducible type IIA sPLA2, which was functionally linked to inducible COX-2. Delayed PGE2 generation was also suppressed markedly by the cPLA2 inhibitor arachidonoyl trifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF3), which attenuated induction of type IIA sPLA2, but not COX-2, expression. AACOCF3 inhibited the initial phase of cytokine-stimulated arachidonic acid release, and supplementing AACOCF3-treated cells with exogenous arachidonic acid partially restored type IIA sPLA2 expression. These results suggest that certain metabolites produced by the cPLA2-dependent pathway are crucial for the subsequent induction of type IIA sPLA2 expression and attendant delayed PGE2 generation. Some lipoxygenase-derived products might be involved in this event, since IL-1 beta/TNF alpha-induced type IIA sPLA2 induction and PGE2 generation were reduced markedly by lipoxygenase, but not COX, inhibitors. In contrast, Ca2+ ionophore-stimulated immediate PGE2 generation was regulated predominantly by the constitutive enzymes cPLA2 and COX-1, even when type IIA sPLA2 and COX-2 were maximally induced after IL-1 beta/TNF alpha treatment, revealing functional segregation of the constitutive and inducible PG biosynthetic enzymes.

Abstract
We studied the influence of cancer cells on the LTB4 production by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). The cancer cells were isolated from malignant pleural effusion specimens taken from two patients or from a peritoneal effusion specimen of one patient. While human PMN produced LTB4 following stimulation with A23187, the addition of cancer cells inhibited LTB4, 5-HETE and 12-HETE production by PMN in a cell number-dependent manner, while the cancer cell lines also showed a similar inhibition. The addition of lysate of the breast cancer cells also inhibited in a dose-dependent manner the production of LTB4 by PMN following stimulation with A23187. The addition of arachidonic acid completely reversed the inhibition of PMN-LTB4 production by the addition of the breast cancer cell lysates, thus suggesting inhibition at the phospholipase A2 level. The addition of this lysate to the partially purified human cytosolic PLA2 also inhibited the PLA2 activity. In contrast, the addition of lymphoma cells isolated from metastatic lymphnodes did not inhibit the LTB4 production from PMN. Since LTB4 is one of the important chemotactic factors for PMN and monocytes, these findings suggest that the inhibition of the PLA2 activity by the cancer cells thus results in a reduced production of LTB4 from PMN and contributes to a predisposition to develop severe infection in patients with advanced cancer.
