Effect of glycyrrhizin on lysosomes labilization by phospholipase A2. 1986

Y Shiki, and Y Ishikawa, and K Shirai, and Y Saito, and S Yoshida

The influence of glycyrrhizin on the effect of phospholipase A2 on lysosomes was studied. Treatment of rat liver lysosomes with venom phospholipase A2 caused release of acid phosphatase. This release of acid phosphatase was inhibited by 0.1 mM glycyrrhizin. Glycyrrhizin also inhibited acid phospholipase A2 with pH optimum of 4.5, which is thought to be present in the lysosomal membrane. These results suggest that glycyrrhizin stabilizes lysosomes by inhibiting phospholipase A2 activity in the lysosomal membrane.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION. (From Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed). Autolysosome,Autolysosomes,Lysosome
D008297 Male Males
D010740 Phospholipases A class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphoglycerides or glycerophosphatidates. EC 3.1.-. Lecithinases,Lecithinase,Phospholipase
