We have previously described that treatment of rat glomerular mesangial cells with interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor or forskolin stimulates the synthesis and secretion of prostaglandin E2 and group II phospholipase A2. We now report that pretreatment of the mesangial cells with dexamethasone dose-dependently suppresses the cytokines- and forskolin-induced synthesis of prostaglandin E2 as well as the induced synthesis and secretion of group II phospholipase A2. These observations implicate that the inhibition of the cellular or secreted phospholipase A2 activity by dexamethasone in rat mesangial cells is not due to induced synthesis of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins but caused by direct inhibition of phospholipase A2 protein expression.

D010741 Phospholipases A Phospholipases that hydrolyze one of the acyl groups of phosphoglycerides or glycerophosphatidates.
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
