Group X secreted phospholipase A2 induces lipid droplet formation and prolongs breast cancer cell survival

Abstract: Background: Alterations in lipid metabolism are inherent to the metabolic transformations that support tumorigenesis. The relationship between the synthesis, storage and use of lipids and their importance in cancer is poorly understood. The human group X secreted phospholipase A 2 (hGX sPLA 2 ) releases fatty acids (FAs) from cell membranes and lipoproteins, but its involvement in the regulation of cellular FA metabolism and cancer is not known.

“…The presence of lipid-rich serum in the cell culture medium also induces LDs in these cells, but this time in an iPLA 2 β-independent manner because there is an exogenous source free fatty acid [46,52]. This has led to the suggestion that LD formation from endogenous lipid sources upon starvation conditions is a cell mechanism to convert structural components into energy-rich molecules and store them into LD to boost the survival of the cells [21,46,51].…”

“…PLA 2 s may act at several levels, namely (i) as providers of free fatty acids from membrane phospholipids for the synthesis of neutral lipids [46][47][48], (ii) as modifiers of phospholipid-containing particles to facilitate their uptake and internalization by cells [49,50], (iii) as generators of metabolites that may control LD formation [51], and (iv) as direct regulators of the formation of the organelle [52][53][54].…”

“…For measuring the intracellular amount of lipid droplets in A549 cells treated with SiO 2 -SPIONs (20 and 50 lg/mL) for 48 h, we used Nile red staining and flow cytometry as described previously (Pucer et al, 2013). As a positive control for the induction of intracellular lipid droplet formation, we used 100 lM oleic acid (OA).…”

“…A reverse transcription was performed using the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcripton Kits (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA) following the manufacturer's protocol. cDNA samples were stored at À20 C. A qPCR relative gene expression analysis was performed as described previously (Pucer et al, 2013) on a StepOnePlus Real-Time by StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems, Darmstadt, Germany) using the FastStart Universal SYBR Green Master (Rox) from Roche (Mannheim, Germany) and the primers listed in Table S1. DNA topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) and splicing factor 3 A subunit 1 (SF3A1) were used as reference (housekeeping) genes.…”
