The addition of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 to rabbit neutrophils stimulated [14C]arachidonic acid incorporation into phosphatidylinositol and lysosomal enzyme secretion. A significant increase in phosphatidylinositol labelling was observed after a 2 min exposure to 0.1 microM-ionophore A23187. Maximum increases in rate of labelling were obtained with 1 microM-ionophore A23187 within 1 min, declining to basal rates after 15 min. Similarly, maximum rate of enzyme release occurred during the first 2 min of exposure to ionophore and release was essentially complete by 15 min. Threshold and peak ionophore A23187 concentrations for stimulating both processes were identical. In contrast with the specificity of phosphatidylinositol labelling induced by 1 microM-ionophore A23187 in the absence of cytochalasin B, ionophore also significantly stimulated labelling of phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine in the presence of cytochalasin B. With a threshold ionophore concentration (0.1 microM), the enhanced incorporation of arachidonate was relatively specific for phosphatidylinositol in cytochalasin-treated cells. Ionophore A23187 did not accelerate labelling of phosphatidylinositol by [14C]acetate or [14C]glycerol, indicating that ionophore A23187 does not stimulate phosphatidylinositol synthesis de novo, although it did promote [14C]palmitate and [32P]Pi incorporation into neutrophil phosphatidylinositol. However, the increase in phosphatidylinositol labelling with these latter precursors was generally slower in onset and much more modest in magnitude than that observed with arachidonic acid. These results support the hypothesis that a Ca2+-dependent phospholipase, which acts on the arachidonate moiety of phosphatidylinositol, is responsible for initiating at least certain of the membrane events coupled to the release of secretory product from the neutrophil.
