Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) stimulates the proliferation, differentiation, and motility of multiple cell types. Signal transduction by FGF is mediated by high affinity FGF receptors that have autophosphorylating tyrosine kinase activity and also elicit the release of low molecular weight signaling molecules, including inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, diacylglycerol, and arachidonate. We have shown previously that basic FGF-stimulated, phospholipase A2 (PLA2)-mediated arachidonate release regulates endothelial cell (EC) motility (Sa, G., and Fox, P.L. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 3219-3225). Here we identify the phospholipase responsible for basic FGF-mediated arachidonate release as cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) by demonstrating in EC lysates a requirement for micromolar Ca2+, dithiothreitol insensitivity, and inactivation by anti-cPLA2 antiserum. The role of cPLA2 is also indicated by the observed mechanisms of activation which show a requirement for p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase activity, cPLA2 phosphorylation, and cPLA2 translocation from cytosol to membranes. Phosphorylation of cPLA2, arachidonate release from prelabeled intact cells, and cell motility all have similar concentration dependencies on basic FGF. Since arachidonate release is required for basic FGF-stimulated motility of EC, our results show that p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation of cPLA2 may be a regulatory event in stimulation of cellular release of this important eicosanoid precursor during cellular responses to basic FGF.
