摘要
Neutrophils and differentiated PLB-985 cells contain various types of PLAb>2b>s including the 85 kDa cytosolic PLAb>2b> (cPLAb>2b>), Ca2+-independent PLAb>2b> (iPLAb>2b>) and secreted PLAb>2b>s (sPLAb>2b>s). The present study focuses on the behavior of sPLAb>2b>s in neutrophils and PLB cells and their relationship to cPLAb>2b>b1;. The results of the present research show that the two types of sPLAb>2b> present in neutrophils, sPLAb>2b>-V and sPLAb>2b>-X, which are located in the azurophil granules, are differentially affected by physiological stimuli. While sPLAb>2b>-V is secreted to the extacellular milieu, sPLAb>2b>-X is detected on the plasma membranes after stimulation. Stimulation of neutrophils with formyl-Met–Leu–Phe (fMLP), opsonized zymosan (OZ) or A23187 resulted in a different kinetics of sPLAb>2b> secretion as detected by its activity in the neutrophil supernatants. Neutrophil priming by inflammatory cytokines or LPS enhanced sPLAb>2b> activity detected in the supernatant after stimulation by fMLP. This increased activity was due to increased secretion of sPLAb>2b>-V to the supernatant and not to release of sPLAb>2b>-X. sPLAb>2b> in granulocyte-like PLB cells exhibit identical characteristics to neutrophil sPLAb>2b>, with similar activity and optimal pH of 7.5. Granulocyte-like cPLAb>2b>b1;-deficient PLB cells serve as a good model to study whether sPLAb>2b> activity is regulated by cPLAb>2b>b1;. Secretion and activity of sPLAb>2b> were found to be similar in granulocyte-like PLB cells expressing or lacking cPLAb>2b>b1;, indicating that they are not under cPLAb>2b>b1; regulation.
