Apical endocytosis of ricin in MDCK cells is regulated by the cyclooxygenase pathway

Addition of arachidonic acid or stimulation of arachidonic acid production by secretory phospholipase A2 selectively upregulated apical endocytosis of ricin in MDCK cells without affecting basolateral endocytosis. Electron microscopic studies revealed that MDCK cells treated with secretory phospholipase A2 and incubated with horseradish peroxidase had an increased number of normal appearing peroxidase-labeled endosomes and no sign of membrane ruffling. Moreover, inhibition of basal arachidonic acid release, either by decreasing the cytosolic phospholipase A(2) activity or the diacylglycerol lipase activity, reduced the rate of apical endocytosis. Furthermore, indomethacin, an inhibitor of the cyclooxygenase pathway, counteracted the stimulation of endocytosis seen with both secretory phospholipase A2 and arachidonic acid, suggesting that formation of eicosanoids such as prostaglandins could be essential for the regulation. This idea was supported by the finding that prostaglandin E2, the predominant prostaglandin formed in kidney, also upregulated ricin uptake. The regulatory effect of the cyclooxygenase pathway on apical endocytosis of ricin was found to be independent of protein kinases A and C, which are known to selectively control apical clathrin-independent endocytosis in polarized cells.
