Measuring cPLA 2 translocation is not a trivial matter when investigating mechanisms of AA release.
Due to the increased molecular weight of the EGFP-tagged cPLA 2 , the two forms of cPLA 2 did not separate as well, making the gel shift more difficult to visualize, but generally mirrored the gel shift characteristics of the endogenous cPLA 2 . These results suggest that, in response to MEK1 inhibition, there is a quantitative, dose-dependent decrease in AA release that correlates well with the loss of ERK activation, but not with the extent of cPLA 2 Ser 505phosphorylation.
Because cPLA 2 is a target of the MEK1/ERK signaling cascade, we assayed the effect of MEK1 inhibition by U0126 on cPLA 2 phosphorylation by analyzing gel shift of cPLA 2 . Phosphorylation of Ser 505results in a retardation of its electrophoretic mobility (gel shift) [ 13 16 ] . In unstimulated cells, EGFP-tagged and endogenous cPLA 2 were nearly completely gel shifted, indicating that most cPLA 2 was phosphorylated on Ser 505(Fig.
The MEK1/ERK pathway regulates cPLA 2 and ERKs phosphorylate cPLA 2 on Ser 505.
However, EGFP-cPLA 2 is functional since it dose-dependently catalyzes release of AA when expressed in cells that lack endogenous cPLA 2 , such as Sf9 cells [ 13 ] and immortalized mouse lung fibroblasts from cPLA 2 α knock-out mice [ 26 ] . In order to enhance AA release in cells containing endogenous cPLA
