Although group VIA Ca2+-independent phospholipase A(2)beta (iPLA(2)beta) has been implicated in various cellular events, the functions of other iPLA(2) isozymes remain largely elusive. In this study, we examined the cellular functions of group VIB iPLA(2)gamma. Lentiviral transfection of iPLA(2)gamma into HEK293 cells resulted in marked increases in spontaneous, stimulus-coupled, and cell death-associated release of arachidonic acid ( AA), which was converted to prostaglandin E-2 with preferred cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 coupling. Conversely, treatment of HEK293 cells with iPLA(2)gamma small interfering RNA significantly reduced AA release, indicating the participation of endogenous iPLA(2)gamma. iPLA(2)gamma protein appeared in multiple sizes according to cell types, and a 63-kDa form was localized mainly in peroxisomes. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry of cellular phospholipids revealed that iPLA(2)gamma and other intracellular PLA(2) enzymes acted on different phospholipid subclasses. Transfection of iPLA(2)gamma into HCA-7 cells also led to increased AA release and prostaglandin E-2 synthesis via both COX-1 and COX-2, with a concomitant increase in cell growth. Immunohistochemistry of human colorectal cancer tissues showed elevated expression of iPLA(2)gamma in adenocarcinoma cells. These results collectively suggest distinct roles for iPLA(2 beta) and iPLA(2)gamma in cellular homeostasis and signaling, a functional link between peroxisomal AA release and eicosanoid generation, and a potential contribution of iPLA(2)gamma to tumorigenesis.
