Abstract

The expression of secretory group IIA phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-IIA) has been shown to be elevated in various inflammatory diseases, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) up-regulates the expression of sPLA2-IIA in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Pelargonidin (PEL) is a well-known red pigment found in plants, and has been reported as having important biological activities that are potentially beneficial for human health. Here, PEL was examined for its effects on the expression and activity of sPLA2-IIA in HUVECs and mouse. Post treatment of cells or mouse with PEL inhibited LPS-induced expression and activity of sPLA2-IIA. Therefore, these results suggest that PEL inhibited LPS mediated expression of sPLA2-IIA.
