Abstract
Our previous studies have shown that both increase in Ca2+ levels and activation of protein kinase C (PKC) are required for monocyte-mediated O2- production and low density lipoprotein (LDL) peroxidation. Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (phosphoinositidase C or PIC) is believed to mediate release of intracellular Ca2+ through InsP3 formation and activation of PKC through diacylglycerol (DAG). In these studies, we investigated the PIC pathway for its participation in monocytic cell-mediated lipid peroxidation of LDL. We found substantial InsP3 formation in opsonized zymosan (ZOP)-activated U937-b cells, indicating the activation of PIC. Both inhibition of PIC by the PIC inhibitor U-73122 and reduction of the supply of the precursor lipid by lithium chloride suppressed InsP3 formation but did not alter LDL lipid peroxidation nor O2- production by activated cells. Furthermore, we also found that suppression of PIC activity had no substantial inhibitory effect on PKC activity in ZOP-activated human monocytes. Our data suggest that PIC activity is induced upon cell activation resulting in increased levels of InsP3. The activity of this pathway, however, is not required for cell-mediated O2- production, PKC activation or LD...Continue Reading
