We tested the hypothesis that lysophosphatidylcholine (lyse-PC) could activate protein kinase C in intact vascular segments and sought to examine some of the physiological consequences of this activation. In segments of rabbit aorta, the patterns of protein phosphorylation determined by two-dimensional electrophoresis stimulated by lyse-PC and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) were similar. Activation of protein kinase C can stimulate superoxide anion (O-2(-)) production in other tissues, and we found that lyse-PC-treated rabbit aortas produced twofold more O-2(-) than control vessels. Calphostin C, a potent and specific inhibitor of protein kinase C, attenuated O-2(-) production in lyse-PC-treated vessels but had no effect in control vessels. The effect of lyse-PC on O-2(-) production was mimicked by TPA. In separate bioassay studies, release of the endothelium-derived vascular relaxing factor (EDRF) quantified by the response of detector vessels was markedly impaired after exposure of donor rabbit aortic segments to lyse-PC. After incubation with calphostin C, EDRF release in response to acetylcholine from lyse-PC-treated donor vessels was restored significantly. Thus, lyse-PC can activate protein kinase C in intact vessels, leading to an increase in O-2(-) production. Activation of protein kinase C by lyse-PC may also play a role in altering the release of EDRF in response to acetylcholine. Increased O-2(-) production in response to lyso-PC may have important consequences in the atherogenic process.
