Involvement of cPLA2, iPLA2, and sPLA2 in inflammatory responses in the CNS

cPLA2
1 Involved in long term memory retrieval (Schaeffer and Gattaz 2007)
2 AA as a retrograde signal in growth and dynamics of retinotectal arbors (Leu and Schmidt 2008)
3 AA as an important cofactor for synovial NADPH oxidase (Chenevier-Gobeaux et al. 2007)
4 As anti-inflammatory therapy for collagen-induced arthritis (Raichel et al. 2008)
5 Involvement in spinal nociceptive processes (Kim et al. 2008)
6 Involve in cognitive function—implication for Alzheimer’s disease (Schaeffer and Gattaz 2008; Sanchez-Mejia et al. 2008)
7 Involved in Abeta-mediated increase in AA release (Chalimoniuk et al. 2007; Shelat et al. 2008)
8 Mediates NMDA-stimulated electrophysiological responses of hippocampal neurons (Shen et al. 2007)
9 Contributes to Abeta-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal apoptosis (Kriem et al. 2005; Zhu et al. 2006)
10 Regulates Abeta-induced activation of neutral and acidic sphingomyelinase (Malaplate-Armand et al. 2006)
11 Involved in muscarinic receptor-mediated sAPPalpha release (Cho et al. 2006)
iPLA2
1 Release of DHA (Lukiw et al. 2005; Schwab et al. 2007; Green et al. 2008)
2 Neuroprotection against toxicity due to oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) (Strokin et al. 2006)
3 Regulates store-operated calcium entry in cerebellar astrocytes (Singaravelu et al. 2006)
4 Regulates hippocampal AMPA receptor and learning and memory (Menard et al. 2005)
5 Acquisition of short- and long-term memory in hippocampus (Schaeffer and Gattaz 2005)
6 Involved in oxidant-induced cell death (Xu et al. 2003b; Song et al. 2006; Peterson et al. 2007)
7 Induces expression of sPLA2-IIA in fibroblasts (Kuwata et al. 2007)
8 Involved in LPS-induced NF-κB activation and iNOS gene expression (Won et al. 2005)
9 Mouse model of iPLA2β deficiency—severe motor dysfunction and axon degeneration (Shinzawa et al. 2008; Malik et al. 2008)
10 Genetic defect of iPLA2β—childhood neurologic disorders: infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy
 (INAD) and idiopathic neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA)
(Morgan et al. 2006; Gregory et al. 2008; Kurian et al. 2008)
11 Wallerian degeneration and axon regeneration (Lopez-Vales et al. 2008)
12 Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of multiple sclerosis (Kalyvas et al. 2009)
sPLA2
1 Role in innate immunity, cross-talk with cPLA2 or iPLA2 (Kuwata et al. 2007)
2 sPLA2-1B, induced in brain by kainic acid (Kolko et al. 2005)
3 sPLA2-IIA and ROS generation in mitochondria mediates glutamate-induced neuronal death (Mathisen et al. 2007)
4 sPLA2-IIA in inflammation—transcriptional regulation by pro-inflammatory cytokines (Andreani et al. 2000; Touqui and Alaoui-El-Azher 2001;
Adibhatla and Hatcher 2007, 2008; Jensen et al. 2009)
5 Increased sPLA2-IIA mRNA and immunoreactivity in AD brain (Moses et al. 2006)
6 Increase in sPLA2-IIA mRNA and protein in cerebral ischemia models (Lin et al. 2004; Adibhatla and Hatcher 2007)
7 Involved in spinal cord injury (Liu et al. 2007; Titsworth et al. 2008)
9 sPLA2-III—promotes neuronal outgrowth and survival (Masuda et al. 2008)
10 sPLA2-III—induces axonopathy (Titsworth et al. 2007)
