We examined the dependence of stimulated arachidonic acid release on plasmalogens using the murine, macrophage cell line 264.7 and two plasmalogen-deficient variants, RAW.12 and RAW.108. All three strains responded to unopsinized zymosan to release arachidonic acid from phospholipid stores. Arachidonic acid release appeared to be dependent on calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) activation (iPLA(2)); bromoenol lactone, a specific inhibitor of calcium-independent iPLA2, blocked arachidonic acid release with an IC50 of approximately 2 x 10(-7)M. Propanolol, an inhibitor of phosphatidate phosphatase, and RHC-80267, an inhibitor of diglyceride lipase, had no effect on arachidonic acid release. Arachidonic acid release in the variants displayed similar magnitude, kinetics of response and sensitivity to the inhibitors when compared to the parent strain. Arachidonic acid was released from all major phospholipid head group classes with the exception of sphingomyelin. In wild-type cells, arachidonic acid released from the ethanolamime phospholipids was primarily from the plasmalogen form. However, in the plasmalogen-deficient cells release from the diacyl species, phosphatidylethanolamine, was increased to compensate. Restoration of plasmalogens by supplementation of the growth medium with the bypass compounds sn-1-hexadecylglycerol and sn-1-alkenylglycerol had no effect on arachidonic acid release. In summary, plasmalogen status appears to have no influence on the zymosan A stimulated release of arachidonic acid from the RAW 264.7 cell line. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
