title: Uptake of the phospholipase A2 inhibitor 1-dodecyl 2-[1-14C] octanamido-sn-2-deoxy glycero-3-phosphocholine by peritoneal macrophages.
abstract: The [14C] phospholipid analogue 1-dodecyl-2-[1-14C] octanamido-sn-2-deoxy glycero-3-phosphocholine was synthetized. With 2 short fatty chains linked by alkyl and amido bonds to positions 1 and 2 of the glycerophosphate backbone, it was an inhibitor of phospholipase A2 in ionophore A23187-stimulated macrophages. Its uptake by rat peritoneal macrophages and its resistance towards phospholipases A2 were determined at nanomolar or micromolar concentrations in the culture medium. A control substrate for phospholipases A2 activity was established with the lecithin 1-octadecanoyl 2-[3H] eicosatetraenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine ([3H] 20:4-GPC), a source of [3H] arachidonic acid after cleavage at position 2. Non-stimulated- or ionophore A23187-stimulated macrophages incorporated extensively the [14C] phospholipid analogue added at 30-4000 nM. At 4000 nM which induced 50% inhibition of the phospholipase, 40% of the dose was found associated with the [14C] phospholipids of 2 x 10(6) stimulated macrophages after 120 min incubation, while only low amounts of [14C] non-phosphorous lipids were detected. It is concluded that the [14C] phospholipid analogue was readily taken up by the macrophages with limited hydrolysis.
