摘要：

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) can induce apoptosis in a number of different cell types. This response often depends on the activity of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), which catalyzes the release of arachidonic acid from the sn-2 position of membrane phospholipids. In this study, we investigate the ability of arachidonic acid itself to cause cell death. We show that in assays with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) arachidonic acid will not kill, nor does act synergistically with TNF. In contrast, by lowering the concentration of FBS to 2%, it is possible to use arachidonic acid to induce cell death. Arachidonic acid-induced cell death was judged to be apoptotic based on morphology and the cleavage of poly(ADP)ribose polymerase. Arachidonic acid was able to kill all cell lines tested including two human melanoma-derived cell lines, and susceptibility to arachidonic acid was not influenced by adenovirus gene products that control susceptibility to TNF. Finally, we show that arachidonic acid is unique among 20 carbon fatty acids for its ability to induce apoptosis and that several other unsaturated, but not saturated fatty acids can also induce apoptosis.
