PG - 489-96 LID - 10.1097/FJC.0000000000000147 [doi] AB - Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) changes the phosphatidylcholine contained in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), which has various proatherogenic properties. We reported that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) enhanced the expression of group V PLA2 (sPLA2-V) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and the LPC content in LDL and the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression were augmented when TNFalpha-stimulated HUVECs were incubated with LDL. Here, we observed that an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, pitavastatin, at the concentration of >1 muM administered 12 hours before TNFalpha stimulation suppressed the enhancement of sPLA2-V mRNA and protein. Pitavastatin also prevented the enhancement of the LPC content in LDL and the expression of MCP-1 mRNA when TNFalpha-stimulated HUVECs were incubated with LDL. The administration of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate restored the expression of sPLA2-V mRNA and protein. The administration of the Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632 and the transfection of small interfering RNA (siRNA) against sPLA2-V before TNFalpha stimulation both diminished the TNFalpha-induced sPLA2-V mRNA expression. Therefore, Y-27632 and siRNA against sPLA2-V also prevented the enhancement of MCP-1 mRNA expression when TNFalpha-stimulated HUVECs were incubated with LDL. Pitavastatin's inhibitory effect on the expression of sPLA2-V induced by TNFalpha may be useful to prevent the proatherogenic modification of LDL.
