In view of understanding the mechanisms of retinal neovascularization, we had reported previously that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced pathological retinal angiogenesis requires the activation of Src-PLD1-PKC gamma signaling. In the present work, we have identified cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) as an effector molecule of Src-PLD1-PKC gamma signaling in the mediation of VEGF-induced pathological retinal angiogenesis based on the following observations. VEGF induced cPLA(2) phosphorylation in a time-dependent manner in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMVECs). VEGF also induced arachidonic acid (AA) release in a dose-, time-, and cPLA(2)-dependent manner. Depletion of cPLA(2) levels inhibited VEGF-induced HRMVEC DNA synthesis, migration, and tube formation. In addition, the exogenous addition of AA rescued VEGF-induced HRMVEC DNA synthesis, migration, and tube formation from inhibition by down-regulation of cPLA(2). Inhibition of Src, PLD1, or PKC gamma attenuated VEGF-induced cPLA(2) phosphorylation and AA release. Consistent with these findings, hypoxia induced cPLA(2) phosphorylation and activity in VEGF-Src-PLD1-PKC gamma-dependent manner in a mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy. In addition, siRNA-mediated down-regulation of cPLA(2) levels in the retina abrogated hypoxia-induced retinal endothelial cell proliferation and neovascularization. These observations suggest that cPLA(2)-dependent AA release is required for VEGF-induced Src-PLD1-PKC gamma-mediated pathological retinal angiogenesis.
