TNF-alpha-induced cPLA2 expression via NADPH oxidase/reactive oxygen species-dependent NF-kappaB cascade on human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) triggers activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) and then enhancing the synthesis of prostaglandin (PG) in inflammatory diseases. However, the detailed mechanisms of TNF-alpha induced cPLA2 expression were not fully defined in human pulmonary alveolar...
