Popis: | Bovine alveolar macrophage metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) via cyclooxygenase (CO) and lipoxygenase (LO) pathways is stimulus specific. Under standard conditions with RPMI-1640 media containing 0.4 mM Ca2+, the calcium ionophore A23187 stimulates the release of both CO and LO products, whereas opsonized zymosan and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) selectively stimulate the CO pathway in these cells. We have examined the effect of varying the extracellular concentration of calcium (0–2.4 mM) on the profiles of AA metabolites secreted with differing stimuli. All stimuli caused the release of CO products, even in the absence of calcium in the media. The magnitude of release was correlated with increasing extracellular calcium concentrations, indicating some dependence of phospholipase activation on extracellular calcium. However, there were notable differences between stimuli regarding the magnitude of CO product formation and dependence on extracellular Ca2+. No 5-LO products were demonstrable with either zymosan or PMA at any concentration of extracellular calcium tested, and inhibition of CO by indomethacin did not result in 5-LO product formation for these stimuli. The production of 5-LO products in bovine alveolar macrophages by A23187 required extracellular calcium, demonstrating an absolute dependence for activation of the 5-LO pathway on an influx of extracellular calcium. Our results indicate that intracellular and extracellular Ca2+ have differing roles in the metabolism of AA down CO and LO pathways in bovine alveolar macrophages depending on the stimulus used. This regulation suggests that the pools of calcium required for activation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) are not necessarily available for the 5-LO enzyme. |
