摘要
PURPOSE. To identify and characterize the role of cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) in retinal angiogenesis using relevant cell-based assays and a rodent model of retinopathy of prematurity. METHODS. The phosphorylation states of cPLA(2) and p38 MAP kinase and the expression of COX-2 were assessed by Western blot analysis in rat Muller cells. The activities of PLA(2) enzymes in rat retinal lysates were assessed using a commercially available assay. Prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)) and VEGF levels in Muller cell-conditioned medium and in retinal tissue samples were measured by ELISA. Rat retinal microvascular endothelial cell proliferation was measured using a BrdU assay. Efficacy of the cPLA(2) inhibitor CAY10502 was tested using the rat model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) in which neovascularization (NV) was assessed by computer-assisted image analysis. RESULTS. In Muller cells, hypoxia increased the phosphorylation of cPLA(2) and p38 MAP kinase by 4-fold and 3-fold respectively. The cPLA(2) inhibitor CAY10502 decreased hypoxia-induced PGE(2) and VEGF levels in Muller cell-conditioned medium by 68.6% (P < 0.001) and 46.6% (P < 0.001), respectively. Retinal cPLA(2) activity peaked 1 day after oxygen exposure in OIR rats. CAY10502 (250 nM) decreased OIR-induced retinal PGE2 and VEGF levels by 69% (P < 0.001) and 40.2% (P < 0.01), respectively. Intravitreal injection of 100 nM CAY10502 decreased retinal NV by 53.1% (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS. cPLA(2) liberates arachidonic acid, the substrate for prostaglandin (PG) production by the cyclooxygenase enzymes. PGs can exert a proangiogenic influence by inducing VEGF production and by stimulating angiogenic behaviors in vascular endothelial cells. Inhibition of cPLA(2) inhibits the production of proangiogenic PGs. Thus, cPLA(2) inhibition has a significant influence on pathologic retinal angiogenesis.
