We tested the hypothesis that protein kinase C might play a role in the biosynthesis of platelet-activating factor (paf-acether) in human neutrophils. PMA but not its inactive analog 4-alpha-phorbol-12,13- didecanoate induced lyso paf-acether production, followed by acetyltransferase activation, leading to paf-acether synthesis and release. Moreover, PMA was twice as powerful compared to opsonized zymosan (OPZ). 1-Oleoyl-2-acetyl-glycerol also induced acetyltransferase activation and paf and lyso paf production. The paf- acether formed by PMA or OPZ stimulation was composed of alkyl chains C16:0 (84.3 +/- 5% and 80.7 +/- 3.5%, respectively, and C18:0 (15.7 +/- 5% and 19.3 +/- 3.5%, respectively, means +/- SEM) as assessed by gas chromatography-electron capture detection. The inhibitor of protein kinase C, D-sphingosine, markedly decreased paf and lyso paf production and acetyltransferase activation in PMA- as well as OPZ-stimulated neutrophils. These results strongly suggest the involvement of protein kinase C in signal transduction during cell stimulation, leading to the paf biosynthesis.
