Enzymatic activity and distribution of phospholipase A2 in human cartilage.

Abstract:

:Extracellular phospholipase A2 (PLA2) with proinflammatory activity has recently been discovered in synovial fluids in inflammatory arthritides. In the search for the sources of synovial fluid PLA2, human synovium and articular cartilage were found to contain large quantities of the enzyme. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), PLA2 activity in synovium, superficial and deep layers of articular cartilage was 20 +/- 14 (SEM), 168 +/- 62 and 533 +/- 176 nmol/min/mg protein respectively. Corresponding values in osteoarthritis (OA) were 49 +/- 11, 569 +/- 109 and 1709 +/- 243 nmol/min/mg protein, all significantly higher (p less than .01) than in RA. Nasal septal cartilage contained much less PLA2, 19 +/- 5.6. PLA2 in human articular and nasal cartilage has sn-2 specificity, a neutral pH optimum and absolute calcium dependence. High PLA2 concentration in articular cartilage may imply that, at least in part, cartilage is the source of PLA2 in the joint space. Since RA cartilage and synovium have less PLA2 activity than the corresponding OA tissues, additional sources of PLA2 in RA synovial fluids are implicated.
