Abstract

Phospholipase A₂ (PLA₂) activity from adult hamster lung was characterized using L-α-1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl-[arachidonyl-1-¹⁴C]-phosp hatidylcholine as the substrate. The released [¹⁴C]-arachidonic acid was separated by TLC. The enzyme activity increased with increasing incubation time (0-120 minutes), calcium ion concentration (0-25.0 mM) and protein (0-2.0 mg). The optimum pH was 8.0. Deoxycholate had a concentration dependent (0.1 to 0.5 mM) inhibitory effect on the activity. PLA₂ specific activity was the highest in mitochondrial fraction. PLA₂ activity following incubation with bleomycin was increased in a dose related fashion. In vivo study showed that both PLA₂ activity and collagen content in hamster lung were significantly elevated at 14 days followed intratracheal instillation of bleomycin. The activation of PLA₂ may play an important role in bleomycin-induced pulmonary toxicity.
