Arachidonic acid acts as an intracellular activator of NADPH-oxidase in Fc gamma receptor-mediated superoxide generation in macrophages
Abstract
A protein kinase C inhibitor, 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride (H-7), inhibited phorbol ester (12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate)-induced and Fc gamma receptor-mediated superoxide anion (O2-) generations in guinea pig macrophages, but the inhibitory effect on Fc gamma receptor-mediated O2- generation was only partial. Both O2- generations were inhibited extensively by a phospholipase A2 inhibitor, 4-p-bromophenacyl bromide (4-pBPB). It was confirmed in control experiments that H-7 and 4-pBPB had no direct inhibitory effect on NADPH-oxidase activity. Dose-dependent stimulation of O2- generation was induced by arachidonate in macrophages, and the arachidonate-induced O2- generation was not inhibited by H-7. Arachidonate could also induce NADPH-oxidase activation in a post-nuclear fraction obtained from unstimulated macrophages and this activation was not inhibited by H-7, indicating that protein kinase C activation was not involved in this cellfree system. These results support the hypothesis that the O2- generation induced by Fc gamma receptor stimulation is mainly mediated by arachidonic acid which is released by the action of phospholipase A2 activated by receptor stimulation. Arachidonic acid seems to be acting rather directly in activating the NADPH-oxidase system of macrophage membrane. Protein kinase C may have a significant role in Fc gamma receptor-mediated O2- generation but it is not obligatory, and protein kinase C seems to activate NADPH-oxidase rather indirectly, probably by inducing the arachidonic acid release.
