Cytosolic phospholipase A 2  (cPLA 2 ) is a key enzyme that mediates arachidonic acid metabolism, which causes cerebral ischemia-induced oxidative injury, blood—brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, and edema. Recent reports have shown that p38 mitogen—activated protein kinase (MAPK) is related to phosphorylation and activation of cPLA 2  and release of arachidonic acid. However, involvement of the p38 MAPK pathway in cPLA 2  activation and of reactive oxygen species in expression of p38 MAPK/cPLA 2  after ischemia—reperfusion injury in the brain remains unclear. To address these issues, we used a model of transient focal cerebral ischemia (tFCI) in rats. Western blot analysis showed a significant increase in expression of phospho-p38 MAPK and phospho-cPLA 2  in rat brain cortex after tFCI. Activity assays showed that both p38 MAPK and cPLA 2  activation markedly increased 1 day after reperfusion. Intraventricular administration of SB203580 significantly suppressed activation and phosphorylation of cPLA 2  and attenuated BBB extravasation and subsequent edema. Moreover, overexpression of copper/zinc-superoxide dismutase remarkably diminished activation and phosphorylation of both p38 MAPK and cPLA 2  after reperfusion. These findings suggest that the p38 MAPK/cPLA 2  pathway may promote BBB disruption with secondary vasogenic edema and that superoxide anions can stimulate this pathway after ischemia—reperfusion injury.
