Oxidant-induced lipid peroxidation and cell death mediate pathologies associated with ischemia/reperfusion and inflammation. Our previous work in rabbit renal proximal tubular cells (RPTC) demonstrated that inhibition of Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) potentiates oxidant-induced lipid peroxidation and necrosis, implicating iPLA2 in phospholipid repair. This study was conducted to identify a RPTC mitochondrial PLA2 and determine the role of PLA2 in oxidant-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. iPLA2 activity was detected in Percoll-purified rabbit renal cortex mitochondria (RCM) and in isolated mitochondrial inner membrane fractions from rabbit and human RCM. Immunoblot analysis and inhibitor sensitivity profiles revealed that iPLA2{gamma} is the RCM iPLA2 activity. RCM iPLA2 activity was enhanced in the presence of ATP and was blocked by the PKC{epsilon} V1-2 inhibitor. Oxidant-induced mitochondrial lipid peroxidation and swelling were accelerated by pretreatment with R-BEL, but not S-BEL. Further, oxidant treatment of isolated RCM resulted in decreased iPLA2{gamma} activity. These results reveal that RCM iPLA2 is iPLA2{gamma} , RCM iPLA2{gamma} is regulated by phosphorylation by PKC{epsilon}, iPLA2{gamma} protects RCM from oxidant-induced lipid peroxidation and dysfunction, and that a strategy to preserve or enhance iPLA2{gamma} activity may be of therapeutic benefit.
