1. We have measured the breakdown of [3H]phosphatidylinositol in rabbit neutrophils prelabelled with [3H]glycerol by a pulse-chase procedure. With a view to defining a possible causal relationship between phosphatidylinositol breakdown and enzyme secretion in these cells, we have compared the characteristics of both these processes induced by either the receptor-directed agonist formylmethionyl-leucylphenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) or the Ca2+-ionophore ionomycin. 2. The dependence on fMet-Leu-Phe concentration of phosphatidylinositol breakdown and secretion is identical (half-maximal at 0.3 nM). This is 30-fold less than that required for half-maximal occupation of receptors. 3. Both secretion and breakdown of phosphatidylinositol due to fMet-Leu-Phe are modulated by extracellular Ca2+. The sensitivity to Ca2+ of both processes is enhanced by pretreatment to deplete cell Ca2+. The concentration of Ca2+ required to cause half-maximal effects of both processes in Ca2+-depleted cells on stimulation with 1nM-fMet-Leu-Phe is 100 microM. Ionomycin-stimulated secretion and breakdown of phosphatidylinositol are completely dependent on extracellular Ca2+ over similar concentration ranges. 4. Both secretion and phosphatidylinositol breakdown due to fMet-Leu-Phe approach completion by 10s. With ionomycin these processes are slower, terminating by 2 min. 5. In the presence of [32P]Pi, labelling of [32P]phosphatidic acid reaches a maximum 15 min after stimulation with either fMet-Leu-Phe or ionomycin. This precedes the labelling of [32P]phosphatidylinositol and shows the expected precursor-product relationship. 6. We conclude from these results that in rabbit neutrophils a rise in cytosol [Ca2+] is both sufficient and necessary to cause secretion and phosphatidylinositol breakdown. In cells depleted of Ca2+, the occupation of receptors by fMet-Leu-Phe is without effect on these two processes.
