Differential Expression of Secretory Phospholipases A2 in Normal and Malignant Prostate Cell Lines: Regulation by Cytokines, Cell Signaling Pathways, and Epigenetic Mechanisms

Abstract excerpt

Upregulation of group IIA phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-IIA) correlates with prostate tumor progression suggesting prooncogenic properties of this protein. Here, we report data on expression of three different sPLA(2) isozymes (groups IIA, V, and X) in normal (PrEC) and malignant (DU-145, PC-3, and LNCaP) human prostate cell lines. All studied cell lines constitutively expressed sPLA(2)-X, whereas sPLA(2)-V...
