Reduction of human recombinant type II phospholipase A2 and prostaglandin F2 alpha release by microtubule depolymerizing agents.
    Clinical and experimental pharmacology & physiology, 1999, Volume: 26, Issue:3

    1. The present study examines the effects of the microtubule depolarizing agent colchicine on secretory type II phospholipase A2 (PLA2) function in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells that specifically overexpress human type II PLA2 and the effect of both colchicine and tubulazole on the release of type II PLA2 and prostaglandin (PG) F2 alpha from human placental explants. 2. Significant suppression by colchicine (0.01-10 mumol/L) of PLA2 activity (P < 0.00001), immunoreactive type II PLA2 (irPLA2; P < 0.00001) and PGF 2 alpha release (P < 0.01) was observed in medium from overexpressing CHO cells. These effects were significantly reduced (P < 0.0001) in the presence of 10 mumol/L taxol, an agent that prevents depolymerization of microtubules. The addition of 30 mumol/L arachidonic acid significantly reduced (P < 0.0001) the inhibition of PGF2 alpha production in CHO cell lines. 3. The addition of 1 mumol/L colchicine to human placental explants for 24 h significantly reduced irPLA2 (P < 0.00001) and PGF2 alpha production (P < 0.00001). Similarly, 1 mumol/L tubulazole significantly blocked irPLA2 (P < 0.001) and PGF2 alpha (P < 0.0001). 4. At 10 mumol/L, taxol significantly reduced irPLA2 inhibition by colchicine (n = 8; P < 0.05) and tubulazole (n = 8; P < 0.05). Similarly, taxol significantly reduced the reduction in PGF2 alpha production caused by colchicine (P < 0.001) and by tubulazole (P < 0.001). 5. These results suggest that integrity of the microtubule system is required for PLA2 function and the subsequent production of pro-inflammatory mediators.
