title: 1,2-Diacylglycerol hydroperoxides induce the generation and release of superoxide anion from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
abstract: We examined the effect of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoylglycerol (PLG), PLG hydroxide (PLG-OH), and PLG hydroperoxide (PLG-OOH) on the release of superoxide anion from human PMNs monitored by the chemiluminescence generated by the superoxide anion-sensitive reagent, 2-methyl-6-(p-methoxyphenyl)-3,7-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin++ +-3-one (MCLA). PLG-OOH at low micromolar concentrations stimulated human PMNs whereas PLG and PLG-OH did not. 1,3-Dilinoleoylglycerol hydroperoxide, 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoylphosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide, and linoleic acid hydroperoxide were much less efficient in stimulating human PMNs than PLG-OOH. The PKC inhibitors, chelerythrine chloride and staurosporine, inhibited the stimulation of PMNs. Possible pathophysiological role of 1,2-diacylglycerol hydroperoxides is discussed.
