Exposure of rabbit pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells to 10 microM of the calcium ionophore A23187 dramatically stimulates cell membrane-associated phospholipase A2 activity and arachidonic acid release. In addition, A23187 also enhances cell membrane-associated serine esterase activity. Serine esterase inhibitors phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride and diisopropyl fluorophosphate prevent the increase in serine esterase and phospholipase A2 activities and arachidonic acid release caused by A23187. A23187 still stimulated serine esterase and phospholipase A2 activities and arachidonic acid release in cells pretreated with nominal Ca2+ free buffer. Treatment of the cell membrane with A23187 does not cause any appreciable change in serine esterase and phospholipase A2 activities. Pretreatment of the cells with actinomycin D or cycloheximide did not prevent the increase in the cell membrane associated serine esterase and phospholipase A2 activities, and arachidonic acid release caused by A23187. These results suggest that (i) a membrane-associated A2 activity (ii) in addition to the presence of extracellular Ca2+, release of Ca2+ from intracellular storage site(s) by A23187 also appears to play a role in stimulating the cell membrane-associated serine esterase and phospholipase A2 activities does not appear to require new RNA or protein synthesis.
