Abstract

Phospholipases A and C have been shown to enhance the rate of release of a variety of intracellular enzymes from human leucocytes and rat lymphocytes. This effect was more marked with enzymes of the cell sap than with mitochondrial enzymes. The efflux of lactate dehy drogenase was greatest when the cells were first exposed to phospholipase A and then to phospholipase C. Phospholipase D, a plant enzyme, had no effect on the release of intracellular enzymes from either preparation. It is suggested that the phospholipases A and C of inflammatory fluids may play a part in liberating intracellular enzymes in disease processes.
