title: Inhibition of phospholipase A2 activity of guinea-pig alveolar macrophages by lipocortin-like proteins purified from mice lung.
abstract: Guinea-pig alveolar macrophages were harvested by bronchoalveolar lavage and purified by differential adhesion. They were labeled with 14C-Arachidonic acid and then exposed to platelet-activating factor or to the calcium ionophore A23187. The activity of cellular phospholipase A2 was considered as the release of free 14C-Arachidonic acid in the cell supernatant. The pretreatment of guinea-pig alveolar macrophages with two lipocortin-like proteins (36 kDa and 40 kDa) purified from mice lung induced a significant inhibition of their phospholipase A2 activity upon platelet-activating factor and calcium ionophore stimulation. These results indicate that lipocortin-like proteins can modulate the phospholipase A2 activity of isolated cells in vitro.
