Acute inflammation can be considered in terms of a series of checkpoints where each phase of cellular influx, persistence, and clearance is controlled by endogenous stop and go signals. It is becoming increasingly apparent that in addition to initiating the inflammatory response, eicosanoids may also mediate resolution. This suggests there are two phases of arachidonic acid release: one at onset for the generation of proinflammatory eicosanoids and one at resolution for the synthesis of proresolving eicosanoids. What is unclear is the identity of the phospholipase (PLA2) isoforms involved in this biphasic release of arachidonic acid. We show here that type VI iPLA2 drives the onset of acute pleurisy through the synthesis of PGE2, LTB4, PAF, and IL-1ß. However, during resolution there is a switch to a sequential induction of first sPLA2 (types IIa and V) that mediates the release of PAF and lipoxin A4, which, in turn, are responsible for the subsequent induction of type IV cPLA2 that mediates the release of arachidonic acid for the synthesis of proresolving prostaglandins. This study is the first of its kind to address the respective roles of PLA2 isoforms in acute resolving inflammation and to identify type VI iPLA2 as a potentially selective target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.—Gilroy, D.
