PLA₂ and ATX activity in ascites and tissue homogenates. A) PLA₂ and ATX activities in ascites fractions. Ascites fractions (S1, S3, S4, P2, and P3, n=10/group) were analyzed for PLA₂ and ATX activities as described in Materials and Methods. Data are means ± sd from 2–4 analyses. B) Summary of PLA₂ activity in tissue homogenates (n=10/group). C) Tumor PLA₂ subgroup determination using specific inhibitors. D) Summary of ATX activity in tissue homogenates (n=10/group). *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001 vs. ovarian cancer.
