Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The 85-kDa cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) mediates arachidonic acid (AA) release in MDCK cells. Although calcium and mitogen-activated protein kinases regulate cPLA2, the correlation of cPLA2 translocation and phosphorylation with MAPK activation and AA release is unclear. RESULTS: MEK1 inhibition by U0126 inhibited AA release in response to ATP and ionomycin. This directly correlated with...
