Cytosols (105,000 X g supernatant) from seven rat tissues were assayed for Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 activity with either 1-acyl-2-[1-14C]linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, 1-acyl-2-[1-14C]linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine or 1-O-hexadecyl-2-[9,10-3H2]oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine as substrate. Low but consistent activities ranging from 10-120 pmol/min per mg protein were found in all tissues. The highest activities were present in liver, lung and brain. Total activities in mU/g wet weight were rather constant, ranging from 0.43 (heart) to 1.36 (liver). The soluble enzyme from rat lung cytosol was further investigated and was found to be capable of hydrolyzing microsomal membrane-associated substrates without exhibiting much selectivity for phosphatidylcholine species. Comparative gel filtration experiments of cytosol prepared from non-perfused and perfused lungs indicated that part of the Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 originated from blood cells, but most of it was derived from lung cells. Lung cytosol also contained Ca2+-dependent phospholipase A2 activity, a small part of which originated from blood cells, presumably platelets. The major amount of Ca2+-dependent phospholipase A2 activity, however, came from lung cells. Neither this enzyme nor the Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 from lung tissue showed immunological cross-reactivity with monoclonal antibodies against Ca2+-dependent phospholipase A2 isolated from rat liver mitochondria.
