Abstrakt: Rat uterine stromal cells (UIII) express pancreatic type PLA2 (PLA2-I) receptor and internalize the enzyme bound to receptors. Here, we investigate the proliferating effect and alterations in binding of PLA2-I. There is a dramatic decline in PLA2-I binding in UIII cells as they progress from a nonconfluent proliferating state (40,000 sites/cell) to a confluent state (1300 sites/cell). Intracellular concentration of PLA2-I changed with the alteration in binding, suggesting that regulation in the PLA2 binding capacity may have important implications in growth control mechanisms.
