RESUMO
Surfactant has been shown to inhibit the production of reactive oxygen intermediates by various cells including alveolar macrophages and peripheral blood neutrophils. Superoxide O2-. production by the respiratory burst oxidase in isolated plasma membranes prepared from PMA-treated human neutrophils was significantly attenuated by prior treatment with native porcine surfactant. The effect was concentration dependent with half-maximal inhibition seen at approximately 0.050 mg surfactant phospholipid/ml. Kinetic analyses of the membrane-bound enzyme prepared from neutrophils stimulated by PMA in the presence or absence of surfactant demonstrated that surfactant treatment led to a decrease in the maximal velocity of O2-. production when NADPH was used as substrate, but there was no effect on enzyme substrate affinity. Immunoblotting studies demonstrated that surfactant treatment induced a decrease in the association of two oxidase components, p47phox and p67phox, with the isolated plasma membrane. In contrast, surfactant treatment of the cells did not alter the phosphorylation of p47phox. A mixture of phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol in a 7:3 ratio) showed similar inhibition of the PMA-induced O2-. generation. Taken together, these data suggest the mechanism of surfactant-induced inhibition of O2-. production by human neutrophils involves attenuation of translocation of cytosolic components of the respiratory burst oxidase to the plasma membrane. The phospholipid components of surfactant appear to play a significant role in this mechanism.
