Secretory phospholipase A2(sPLA2) plays important roles in cellular signaling and various biological events. In this study, we examined the biological effects and the potential signaling mechanism of purified sPLA2in MV1Lu cells. Three types of snake venom sPLA2were purified and their enzymatic activities were characterized by using various lipid substrates prepared from [3H]-myristate-labeled cells and by determining their effects on the induction of arachidonic acid (AA) release. The purified sPLA2induced apoptosis in Mv1Lu cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and was associated with a rapid increase in the intracellular ceramide level. Similar apoptotic effects were observed in Mv1Lu cells treated with exogenous ceramide analog, C2- and C8-ceramide. Moreover, treatment of cells with sphingomyelinase (SMase), which reduced the intracellular SM level, enhanced the apoptotic response to sPLA2s. sPLA2s also displayed an inhibitory effect on bradykinin-induced phospholipase D (PLD) activity, which can be imitated by exogenous ceramide. Our data indicate that sPLA2induces cell apoptosis via a mechanism involving increased ceramide generation.
