Abstract

Secreted phospholipase A2 type IIA (sPLA2-IIA) is a well-established pro-inflammatory protein and has been a major target for drug discovery. However, the mechanism of its signaling action has not been fully understood. We previously found that sPLA2-IIA binds to integrins αvβ3 and α4β1 in human and that this interaction plays a role in sPLA2-IIA’s signaling action. Our recent studies found that sPLA2-IIA activates integrins in an allosteric manner through direct binding to a newly identified binding site of integrins (site 2), which is distinct from the classical RGD-binding site (site 1). The sPLA2-IIA-induced integrin activation may be related to the signaling action of sPLA2-IIA. Since sPLA2-IIA is present in normal human tears in addition to rheumatoid synovial fluid at high concentrations the sPLA2-IIA-mediated integrin activation on leukocytes may be involved in immune responses in normal and pathological conditions.
