We hypothesized that gIVaPLA2 activation also is an essential downstream step for post adhesive migration of PMN in vitro. Methods Migration of PMNs caused by IL-8 CXCL8 was assessed using a transwell migration chamber. PMNs were pretreated with two structurally unrelated inhibitors of gIVaPLA2 arachidonyl trifluoromethylketone TFMK or pyrrophenone prior to IL-8 CXCL8 exposure. The fraction of migrated PMNs present in the lower chamber was measured as total myeloperoxidase content. GIVaPLA2 enzyme activity was analyzed using 14C-PAPC as specific substrate F-actin polymerization and cell structure were examined after rhodamine-phalloidin staining. Results IL-8 CXCL8-induced migration of PMNs was elicited in concentration- and time-dependent manner. Time-related phosphorylation and translocation of cytosolic gIVaPLA2 to the nucleus was observed for PMNs stimulated with IL-8 CXCL8 in concentration sufficient to cause upstream phosphorylation of MAPKs ERK-1 2 and p38 and Akt PKB. Inhibition of gIVaPLA2 corresponded to the magnitude of blockade of PMN migration. Neither AA nor LTB4 secretion was elicited following IL-8 CXCL8 activation. In unstimulated PMNs F-actin was located diffusely in the cytosol however a clear polarized morphology with F-actin-rich ruffles around the edges of the cell was observed after activation with IL-8 CXCL8. Inhibition of gIVaPLA2 blocked change in cell shape and migration .
