  • Title: Inhibition of phorbol ester stimulated superoxide production by 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG); fact or artefact?
    Author: Bonser RW, Dawson J, Thompson NT, Hodson HF, Garland LG.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1986 Dec 01; 209(1):134-8. PubMed ID: 3026836.
    Abstract:
    OAG-stimulated superoxide (O2) production by HL-60 granulocytes showed enantiomeric specificity but reached a maximum of only 5% of that produced by either phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu). At 10-100 microM, OAG displaced specifically-bound [3H]PDBu from intact HL-60 cells by only 25%, suggesting limited cell penetration. OAG (10-100 microM) also inhibited PDBu-stimulated O2 production by 25%; this inhibition was enantiomerically specific. However, at a lower concentration (3 microM), both enantiomers of OAG fully blocked O2 production stimulated by PMA (0.5 microM). This inhibition is probably artefactual, due to the hydrophobic PMA physically associating with OAG in the extracellular fluid.
