Group IIa phospholipase
A2 (GIIa PLA2) is released by some cells
in response to interleukin-1 . The purpose of this study was to
determine whether interleukin-1 would stimulate the synthesis and
release of GIIa PLA2 from cardiomyocytes, and to define the role of p38 MAPK and cytosolic PLA2 in the regulation of
this process. Whereas GIIa PLA2 mRNA was not identified
in untreated cells, exposure to interleukin-1 resulted in the
sustained expression of GIIa PLA2 mRNA.
Interleukin-1 also stimulated a progressive increase in cellular and
extracellular GIIa PLA2 protein levels and increased
extracellular PLA2 activity 70-fold. In addition, interleukin-1 stimulated the p38 MAPK-dependent
activation of the downstream MAPK-activated protein kinase, MAPKAP-K2.
Treatment with the p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB202190, decreased
interleukin-1 stimulated MAPKAP-K2 activity, GIIa PLA2
mRNA expression, GIIa PLA2 protein synthesis, and the
release of extracellular PLA2 activity. Infection with an
adenovirus encoding a constitutively active form of MKK6, MKK6(Glu),
which selectively phosphorylates p38 MAPK, induced cellular GIIa
PLA2 protein synthesis and the release of GIIa
PLA2 and increased extracellular PLA2 activity 3-fold. In contrast, infection with an adenovirus encoding a
phosphorylation-resistant MKK6, MKK6(A), did not result in GIIa
PLA2 protein synthesis or release by unstimulated
cardiomyocytes. In addition, infection with an adenovirus encoding
MKK6(A) abrogated GIIa PLA2 protein synthesis and release
by interleukin-1 -stimulated cells. These results provide direct
evidence that p38 MAPK activation was necessary for
interleukin-1 -induced synthesis and release of GIIa PLA2 by cardiomyocytes.
