Effects of recombinant interleukin-1 beta on phospholipase A2 activity, phospholipase A2 mRNA levels, and eicosanoid formation in rabbit chondrocytes

We have investigated the effects of recombinant interleukin-1 beta (rIL-1 beta) on phospholipase A2 activity (PLA2), PLA2 messenger RNA levels, and eicosanoid production in rabbit chondrocytes. Phospholipase A2 activity increased 5 fold with exposure to 1.6 x 10(-11) M rIL-1 beta for 20 hours. An mR...

Zusammenfassung:We have investigated the effects of recombinant interleukin-1 beta (rIL-1 beta) on phospholipase A2 activity (PLA2), PLA2 messenger RNA levels, and eicosanoid production in rabbit chondrocytes. Phospholipase A2 activity increased 5 fold with exposure to 1.6 x 10(-11) M rIL-1 beta for 20 hours. An mRNA specific for an extracellular PLA2 was detected by RNA blot hybridization after treatment of the cells with rIL-1 beta. Hydroxylated derivatives of arachidonic acid, including prostaglandins, leukotriene B4, 5-hydroxyeicosa 6E, 8Z, 11Z, 14Z-tetraenoic acid, 12-hydroxyeicosa 5Z, 8Z, 10E, 14Z-tetraenoic acid and 15-hydroxyeicosa 5Z, 8Z, 11Z, 13E-tetraenoic acid increased in cells after rIL-1 beta treatment.
