We have recently reported that treatment of bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells with the thromboxane A2 mimetic, U46619 stimulated NADPH oxidase derived O2·- level, which subsequently caused marked increase in [Ca2+]i[17]. Herein, we demonstrated that O2·--mediated increase in [Ca2+]i stimulates an aprotinin sensitive proteinase activity, which proteolytically activates PKC-α under U46619 treatment to the cells. The activated PKC-α then phosphorylates p38MAPK and that subsequently caused Giα phosphorylation leading to stimulation of cPLA2 activity in the cell membrane.
► U46619 treatment to pulmonary smooth muscle cells stimulates cPLA2 in the membrane.
► The cPLA2 activation occurs via phosphorylation of Giα by PKCα activated p38MAPK.
► PKCα appears to be proteolytically activated by an aprotinin sensitive protease.
► The protease activation occurs via stimulation of NADPH oxidase derived O2·-.
► U46619 activates cPLA2 upon stimulating PKCα-p38MAPK-Giα axis by an increase in O2·-.
