title: Exogenous phosphatidic acid with saturated short-chain fatty acyl groups induces superoxide anion release from guinea pig peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes by three different mechanisms.
abstract: Treatment of suspensions of guinea pig peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) with four species of phosphatidate (PA) containing short-chain fatty acids induced sustained superoxide anion (O2-) production after a lag time. The rank order of efficiency of these PAs in triggering O2- production was PA8:0 [1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (GP)] > PA10:0 (1,2-didecanoyl-GP) > PA6:0 (1,2-dicaproyl-GP) > > PA12:0 (1,2-dilauroyl-GP). The O2- release from PMN stimulated with PA10:0 or PA12:0, but not with PA6:0 or PA8:0, was lowered by the addition of 1 mM extracellular Ca2+. Studies with various inhibitors showed that the mechanism of multiphasic O2- production induced by PA8:0 depended on its concentration: 1 and 3 microM PA8:0 induced O2- production constantly after a lag time through a protein kinase-dependent mechanism that was inhibited by 100 nM staurosporine. With concentrations of PA of 10 microM or more, an additional mechanism that was independent of protein kinase became operative and predominant over the protein kinase-dependent one. This protein kinase-independent mechanism was inhibited selectively by 80 microM TMB-8. Concentrations of 30, 60 and 100 microM PA first elicited transient O2- production via another protein kinase-dependent mechanism that was more sensitive to H-7 than to staurosporine, and then sustained O2- production, mainly driven by the protein kinase-independent mechanism. Metabolism of exogenously added [14C]PA8:0 in intact PMN was examined in the presence and absence of propranolol. Results suggest that PA itself is more important rather than its degradation products such as diacylglycerol, in inducing O2- production via three different mechanisms described above.
