  • Snakebite is a severe medical, economic, and social problem across the world, mostly in the tropical and subtropical area. These regions of the globe have typical of the world's venomous snakes present where access to prompt treatment is limited or not available. Snake venom is a complex mixture of toxin proteins like neurotoxin and cardiotoxin, and other enzymes like phospholipase A2 (PLA2), haemorrhaging, transaminase, hyaluronidase, phosphodiesterase, acetylcholinesterase, cytolytic and necrotic toxins. Snake venom shows a wide range of biological effects like anticoagulation or platelet aggregation, hemolysis, hypotension and edema. Phospholipase A2 is the principal constituent of snake venom; it catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 position of membrane glycerophospholipids to liberate arachidonic acid, which is the precursor of eicosanoids including prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The information regarding the structure and function of the phospholipase A2 enzyme may help in treating the snakebite victims. This review article constitutes a brief description of the structure, types, mechanism occurrence, and tests of phospholipase A2 and role of components of medicinal plants used to inhibit phospholipase A2.

  • Background: Secretory phospholipase $A_2$ ($sPLA_2$) are a group of extracellular enzymes that release fatty acids at the sn-2 position of phospholipids. Group IIA $sPLA_2$ ($sPLA_2$-IIA) has been detected in the inflammatory fluids, and its plasma level increases in the inflammatory disease. This study examined the effect of $sPLA_2$-IIA on mouse macropahges in order to investigate the potential mechanism of $sPLA_2$-induced inflammation. Materials and Methods: Wild type $PLA_2$ and mutant H48Q $PLA_2$ were purified from HEK293 cells transfected with the corresponding plasmids, and the $PLA_2$ activities were measured using 1-palmitoyl-2-[1-$^{14}C$]linoleoyl-3-phosphatidylethanolamine as substrates. The TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6 released in the supernatants were determined by ELISA. In addition, the TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6 mRNA were analyzed by RT-PCR. Results: $sPLA_2$-IIA stimulated the production of TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In addition, the effect of $sPLA_2$-IIA on cytokine production from the macrophage was found to be associated with the accumulation of their specific mRNA. The mRNA levels of TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6 peaked at 2 and 6 hours in a time-dependent manner, respectively. Conclusion: In conclusion, the production of proinflammatory cytokine might be mediated by the binding of $sPLA_2$-IIA to the receptors.

  • Background: According to the notion of the immunoregulatory functions of moxifloxacin (MFX), the effect of MFX on the neutrophilic respiratory burst in conjunction with the expression of cytosolic phospholipase $A_2$ ($cPLA_2$) was investigated. Methods: The effects and possible mechanisms of MFX on neutrophilic respiratory burst in oleic acid (OA)-induced acutely injured rats lung and OA-stimulated, isolated murine neutrophils were probed, associated with the expression of cytosolic phospholipase $A_2$ in vivo and in vitro. Results: In the OA-induced acutely-injured lungs, neutrophils were accumulated, which was attenuated by MFX. The parameters denoting a neutrophilic respiratory burst, such as nitro blue tetrazolium reaction, cytochrome-c reduction, neutrophil aggregation, $H_2O_2$ production in neutrophils revealed increased neutrophilic respiratory burst by OA, and MFX decreased all of these parameters. In addition, the enhanced expression of $cPLA_2$ in the lung and isolated murine neutrophils by OA were decreased by MFX. Conclusion: MFX suppresses the OA-induced neutrophilic respiratory burst by the suppression of $cPLA_2$ in neutrophils.

  • Tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ (TNF-$\alpha$) mediates proinflammatory responses in primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and it upregulates the expression of secretory group IIA phospholipase $A_2$ ($sPLA_2$-IIA). $sPLA_2$-IIA plays a pivotal role in inflammation, and antithrombin (AT) possesses properties that are beneficial to endothelial cells. Therefore, we investigated the effects of AT on the expression of $sPLA_2$-IIA in TNF-$\alpha$-stimulated HUVECs. TNF-$\alpha$ potently upregulated the expression of $sPLA_2$-IIA, and prior treatment of cells with AT inhibited the expression of $sPLA_2$-IIA in HUVECs. Also, antibodies or siRNA for syndecan-4 blocked the protective effect of AT. Furthermore, PI3-kinase and the AKT pathway are significantly involved in the AT-mediated inhibition of the expression of $sPLA_2$-IIA. These results show that AT effectively suppresses the upregulated $sPLA_2$-IIA expression, which might contribute to the cytoprotective effects of AT in the treatment of severe inflammatory diseases.

  • To examine whether DGRF inhibits $cPLA_2$ activity in vitro, we purified a 100 kDa $cPLA_2$enzyme from porcine spleen and performed an inhibition study at two concentrations of 5.0 and 50.0 $\mu$M 1-stearoyl-2-[1-$^{l4C}$ ]arachidonoyl-sn -glycero-3-phosphocholine as a substrate to rule out an apparent inhibition due to "substrate depletion". Here we reported that DGRF inhibited $cPLA_2$activity with $ID_{50}$ of 3.2 $\mu$M and virtually complete inactivation of the enzyme occurred at 60 $\mu$M. Interaction experiment between enzyme protein and inhibitor by ultrafiltration method indicated that 1-desgalloylrugosin-F inactivates $cPLA_2$enzyme by an irreversible mechanism.

  • The natural product, spirostanol glycoside dioscin, was shown to directly inactivate human pleural fluid phospholipase $A_2{\;}(PLA_2)$ Inactivation was dose, and time dependent. The $IC_{50}$ was estimated at 18 .mu.M and virtually complete inactivation of the enzyme occurred at 50 .mu.M. Using Michaelis-Menten kinetics, dioscin inactivated the enzyme by a competitive inhibitory manner, the apparent Ki value was $6.9{\times}10_{-4}$. Reversibility was studied directly by dialysis method, the inhibition was reversible. Additioin of excess $Ca^{2+}$ concentration up to 8 mM did not antagonize the inhibitory activity of dioscin. Inactivation of several kinds of $PLA_2$ by dioscin is due to interaction with the active site of $PLA_2$ and may be a useful adjunt in the theraphy of inflammatory diseases.

  • 한외여과법을 이용하여 봉독의 알러지 원인성분인 $PLA_2$를 제거하기 위하여 압력, 농도, 분자크기의 영향을 조사하였다. 봉독의 주요성분 분자량을 바탕으로 한외여과막의 투과크기를 선정하고 농도와 압력을 달리하였다. 그 결과, melittin과 apamin 함량은 유지되면서 $PLA_2$를 제거하는 최적조건(1 mg/mL, 20 psi, 10,000 dalton)을 찾았으며, 이를 HPLC와 SDS-PAGE로 확인하였다.

  • Phospholipase A$_2$(PLA$_2$) comprise a family of enzymes that hydrolyze the acyl bond at the sn-2 position of phospholipids to generate free fatty acids including arachidonic acid and lysophospholipids. Distinct forms of PLA$_2$are involved in digestion, inflammation, and intercelluar-and intracellular signaling pathways. The released arachidonic acid, which is enriched at the sn-2 position, serves as the precursor for eicosanoids such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. During oxygenation of arachidonic acid to hydroxy endoperoxide, reactive oxygen radicals are generated. On the other hand, lysophospholipids increase membrane fluidity and can be cytotoxic with its detergent-like action. Thus, the biochemical features of the products of PLA$_2$activity suggest that PLA$_2$may be implicated in many destructive cellular processes.

  • Phospholipase $A_2(PLA_2)$는 생체막의 주요 구성성분인 인지질의 sn-2위치에서 지방산 ester 결합을 가수분해하는 효소로 염증과 관련된 질병에 있어서 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려졌다. 본 연구에서는 항염증 치료제의 개발을 목표로 $PLA_2$의 특이적 저해물질을 탐색하던 중 Umbilicaria esculenta석이(石耳)의 메탄올 추출물로부터 $PLA_2$ 저해활성을 갖는 두 화합물 G2, G3를 분리하였다. 활성물질의 분리는 U. esculenta의 메탄올 추출물을 에틸아세테이트로 추출하고 실리카 젤 컬럼, 크로로포름 추출, preparative TLC 등에 의하여 정제하였다. 각종 스펙트럼 분석 및 $^1H,\;^{13}C$, DEPT 등의 NMR 실험에 의하여 G2 화합물은 분자량 124, 분자식 $C_7H_8O_2$ 5-methyl-1,3-benzendiol(orcinol), G3 화합물은 분자량 182, 분자식 $C_9H_{10}O_4$의 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester(methyl orsellinic acid) 페놀성 화합물로 동정하였다. 본 화합물의 $PLA_2$ 저해활성은 $IC_{50}$값이 G2의 경우 0.22 mM, G3의 경우 0.26 mM이었다. 그 후 이 두 화합물의 in vivo 염증모델에서 그 효능을 검토할 예정이다.

  • 곤충병원성세균 Xenorhabdus nematophila (Xn)의 일부 대사물질은 대상 곤충의 phospholipase $A_2$ ($PLA_2$)를 억제하여 아이코사노이드 생합성 활성을 저해시킨다. 그러나 이들 세균 대사물질이 억제하는 곤충의 $PLA_2$에 대해서는 알려져 있지 않다. Xn의 배양액에서 화학구조가 동정된 8 가지 대사물질들은 두 종의 나비목 배추좀나방(Plutella xylostella)과 파밤나방(Spodoptera exigua)의 유충에 대하여 살충 활성을 보유했다. 특별히 이들 물질은 모두 Bacillus thuringiensis (비티)의 살충력을 크게 향상시켰다. 파밤나방의 세포성 인지질 분해효소($SecPLA_2$)를 클로닝하고 대장균에서 과발현시켰다. 분리된 $SecPLA_2$를 지방체에서 얻은 인지질과 반응시켰을 때 여러 다가불포화지방산을 해리시켰다. 이 효소활성이 Xn 유래 대사물질들에 의해 뚜렷이 억제되었다. 또한 $SecPLA_2$에 대한 억제효과와 비티 살충력 상승효과 사이에 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 본 연구는 $SecPLA_2$가 Xn 대사물질의 억제 대상 분자 종말점 가운데 하나라고 제시하고 있다.
