Activation of cPLA2 is required for leukotriene D4-induced proliferation in colon cancer cells. / Here we demonstrate, for the first time that in both Int 407 (a non-transformed human intestinal epithelial cell line) and Caco-2 cells (a human colorectal carcinoma cell line), cytosolic phospholipase A(2)alpha (cPLA(2)alpha) is activated and translocates to the nucleus upon LTD(4) stimulation via a calcium-dependent mechanism that involves activation of protein kinase C (PKC), and the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1/2 and p38. We also show with a cPLA(2)alpha promoter luciferase assay, that LTD(4) induces an increase in the transcriptional activity of cPLA(2)alpha via activation of cPLA(2)alpha and the transcription factor NFkappaB. / The present data reveal that cPLA(2)alpha, an important intracellular signal activated by inflammatory mediators, is an important regulator of colon tumor growth.
