1 15471944 Islet Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) is postulated to mediate insulin secretion by releasing arachidonic acid in response to insulin secretagogues.
2 15471944 However, the significance of iPLA2 signaling in insulin secretion in vivo remains unexplored.
3 15471944 Bromoenol lactone (BEL), a selective inhibitor of iPLA2, inhibited glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from isolated mouse islets; this inhibition was overcome by exogenous arachidonic acid.
4 15471944 These results unambiguously demonstrate that iPLA2 signaling plays an important role in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion under physiological conditions.
5 16492706 Inactivation of iPLA2 failed to arrest p53-deficient HCT cells in the G1 phase and caused massive apoptosis of p21-deficient HCT cells, suggesting that this G1-phase arrest requires activation of p53 and expression of p21cip1.
6 16492706 Furthermore, downregulation of p53 by siRNA in p21-deficient HCT cells reduced the cell death, indicating that inhibition of iPLA2 induced p53-dependent apoptosis in the absence of p21cip1.
7 16492706 Disrupting the G1-phase phospholipid turnover by inhibition of iPLA2 activates the p53-p21cip1 checkpoint mechanism, thereby blocking the entry of G1-phase cells into S phase.
8 16728389 Expression of iPLA2 in INS-1 cells prevented the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, attenuated the release of cytochrome c, Smac/DIABLO, and apoptosis inducing factor from mitochondria, and reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production.
9 16728389 Finally, we found that STS down-regulated endogenous iPLA2 transcription in both INS-1 and iPLA2-expressing INS-1 cells without affecting the expression of group IV Ca2+-dependent PLA2.
10 21496576 Mutations in pantothenate kinase 2 (PANK2) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2G6) cause recessive, childhood-onset extrapyramidal disorders termed pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) and infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD), respectively.
