Arachidonic acid release in rabbit neutrophils.


ABSTRACT: [3H]Arachidonic acid is released after stimulation of rabbit neutrophils with fMet-Leu-Phe or platelet-activating factor (PAF). The release is rapid and dose-dependent, and is inhibited in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-treated rabbit neutrophils. The protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) prevents this inhibition. In addition, PMA increases arachidonic acid release in H-7-treated cells stimulated with fMet-Leu-Phe. [3H]Arachidonic acid release, but not the rise in the concentration of intracellular Ca2+, is inhibited in pertussis-toxin-treated neutrophils stimulated with PAF. The diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor R59022 increases the concentration of diacylglycerol and potentiates [3H]arachidonic acid release in neutrophils stimulated with fMet-Leu-Phe. This potentiation is not inhibited by H-7. These results suggest several points. (1) A rise in the intracellular concentration of free Ca2+ is not sufficient for arachidonic acid release in rabbit neutrophils stimulated by physiological stimuli. (2) A functional pertussis-toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide regulatory protein and/or one or more of the changes produced by phospholipase C activation are necessary for arachidonic acid release produced by physiological stimuli. (3) Agents that stimulate PKC potentiate arachidonic acid release, and this potentiation is not inhibited by H-7. These agents produce their actions in part by direct membrane perturbation.
