Background  Cytosolic phospholipase A 2  (cPLA 2 ) plays a pivotal role in mediating agonist-induced arachidonic acid (AA) release for prostaglandin (PG) synthesis during inflammation triggered by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). However, the mechanisms underlying TNF-α-induced cPLA 2  expression in human lung epithelial cells (HPAEpiCs) were not completely understood.    Principal Findings  We demonstrated that TNF-α induced cPLA 2  mRNA and protein expression, promoter activity, and PGE 2  secretion in HPAEpiCs. These responses induced by TNF-α were inhibited by pretreatment with the inhibitor of MEK1/2 (PD98059), p38 MAPK (SB202190), JNK1/2 (SP600125), or AP-1 (Tanshinone IIA) and transfection with siRNA of TNFR1, p42, p38, JNK2, c-Jun, c-Fos, or ATF2. We showed that TNF-α markedly stimulated p42/p44 MAPK, p38 MAPK, and JNK1/2 phosphorylation which were attenuated by their respective inhibitors. In addition, TNF-α also stimulated c-Jun and ATF2 phosphorylation which were inhibited by pretreatment with SP600125 and SB202190, respectively, but not PD98059. Furthermore, TNF-α-induced cPLA 2  promoter activity was abrogated by transfection with the point-mutated AP-1 cPLA 2  construct. Finally, we showed that TNF-α time-dependently induced p300/c-Fos/c-Jun/ATF2 complex formation in HPAEpiCs. On the other hand, TNF-α induced  in vivo  binding of c-Jun, c-Fos, ATF2, and p300 to the cPLA 2  promoter in these cells. In an  in vivo  study, we found that TNF-α induced leukocyte count in BAL fluid of mice and cPLA 2  mRNA levels in lung tissues via MAPKs and AP-1.    Significance  Taken together, these results demonstrated that TNF-α-induced cPLA 2  expression was mediated through p38 MAPK- and JNK1/2-dependent p300/c-Fos/c-Jun/ATF2 complex formation in HPAEpiCs.
