Neomycin (10 microM - 1 mM) was found to induce considerable release of [3H]arachidonic acid from phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine in saponin-permeabilized human platelets prelabeled with [3H]arachidonic acid. The magnitude of arachidonate liberation was almost equal to that induced by A23187 (400 nM) or even greater than that caused by thrombin (1 U/ml). Moreover, neomycin enhanced arachidonic acid release induced by thrombin. Since no significant formation of diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid via phospholipase C was observed, the arachidonate liberation was considered to be mainly catalyzed by phospholipase A2 action. Addition of neomycin (100 microM) to 45Ca2+-preloaded platelets elicited 45Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores. These results indicate evidence that neomycin evokes Ca2+ mobilization from internal stores, which leads to activation of phospholipase A2 to release arachidonic acid in human platelets.
