Functional coupling between various phospholipase A2s and cyclooxygenases in immediate and delayed prostanoid biosynthetic pathways

M Murakami, T Kambe, S Shimbara, I Kudo - Journal of Biological …, 1999 - ASBMB
Several distinct phospholipase A 2 s (PLA 2 s) 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 PLA 2 s, ie cytosolic PLA 2 (cPLA 2)(type IV) and
two secretory PLA 2 s (sPLA 2), types IIA (sPLA 2-IIA) and V (sPLA 2-V), promoted
arachidonic acid (AA) release from their respective transfectants after stimulation with …
