title: Phosphatidic acid induces the release of beta-glucuronidase but not lactoferrin from electropermeabilized human neutrophils.
abstract: We studied the degranulation reaction of electropermeabilized human neutrophils induced by 1,2-didecanoyl-3-sn-phosphatidic acid (PA10). PA10 dose-dependently induced the release of beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme of azurophil granules, but did not induce the release of lactoferrin, a protein of specific granules. The enzyme release by PA10 absolutely required Ca2+, ATP, and Mg2+ and the concentrations for the half-maximal response were 2.5 microM, 60 microM, and 0.25 mM, respectively. Although Ca2+ alone at concentrations higher than 10 microM induced the release of both beta-glucuronidase and lactoferrin, the extents of the release were far less than that of the beta-glucuronidase release by PA10. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol induced the release of lactoferrin alone at concentrations of Ca2+ below 0.5 microM while they induced the release of both beta-glucuronidase and lactoferrin at higher Ca2+ concentrations, indicating that the degranulation induced by PA10 is not mediated by diacylglycerol which might be formed from PA. The degranulation reactions induced by PA10 and PMA were dose-dependently inhibited by staurosporine and calphostin C, protein kinase C inhibitors, although no direct activation of protein kinase C by PA10 was observed. The extent of the beta-glucuronidase release by PA10 was not enhanced by the addition of PMA. Propranolol, which inhibits protein kinase C as well as phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase, strongly inhibited the degranulation reactions induced by PA10 and PMA. Ethanol, a metabolic modulator of phospholipase D, and cyclic AMP did not affect the degranulation reactions by PMA and PA10.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
