We have found that the growth of human pancreatic cancer cells MIAPaCa-2, induced by human pancreatic phospholipase A(2) group I (hPLA(2)-I), is mediated via its specific receptor but not via its catalytic property. The present study showed that the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade in MIAPaCa-2 cells is induced by hPLA(2)-I: this digestive enzyme induced phosphorylation of MEK1/2, p44/42 MAPK and ATF-2, and the phosphorylation in the MAPK cascade was inhibited after the cells were pre-incubated with a selective inhibitor of MEK, PD98059. In addition, this inhibitor dose-dependently blocked the hPLA(2)-I-induced MIAPaCa-2 proliferation, suggesting that activation of the MAPK cascade is essential for the hPLA(2)-I-induced MIAPaCa-2 proliferation.
