title: Enhanced production of platelet-activating factor in stimulated rat leukocytes pretreated with triacsin C, A novel acyl-coA synthetase inhibitor.
abstract: Triacsin C, a product of Streptmyces sp. SK-1894, was previously reported as an inhibitor of long chain acyl-CoA synthetase. Pretreatment with triacsin C (500 nM) for 1h enhanced production of platelet-activating factor in rat neutrophils, followed by stimulation with A23187 or fMLP. Amount of lyso-PAF was also augumented. Triacsin C alone did not increase PAF content and did not modulate enzymatic activities of acytransferase, cholinephosphotransferase, acetylhydrolase, acetyltransferase or phospholipase A2. These results suggest that triacsin C might enhance supply of substrate for PAF synthesis, i.e. accumulation of lyso-PAF by interfering reacylation pathway.
