Previously the authors have shown that uptake and stimulated release of /sup 3/H-arachidonate (AA) in human platelets involves mainly 1-acyl-2-arachidonoyl phospholipids. To determine deacylation of molecular species of 1-acyl-2-arachidonoyl phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phospholipid was extracted by the method of Bligh and Dyer from cells (10/sup 9//ml) stimulated or not by thrombin (THR, 5 U/ml .37/sup 0/C, 5 min). Total PC and PE were isolated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and converted to 1-radyl-2-acyl glycerobenzoates. The 1,2 diacyl glycerobenzoates were separated from other subclasses by TLC. Individual molecular species of 1,2 diacyl glycerobenzoates were resolved by reverse phase HPLC. Mass (O.D./sub 230/) and /sup 3/H-AA radioactivity (i.e. specific activity) were determined on-line, and changes in individual molecular species could be deduced. Significant deacylation of all 1-acyl-2-arachidonoyl PC and PE molecular species occurred with no apparent deacylation in any non-AA-containing molecular species of 1,2 diacyl PC/PE. At 5 minutes the net deacylation of 1-acyl-2-arachidonoyl PC and PE was approximately 15 and 5 nanomoles, respectively/10/sup 9/ cells. These results indicate that selective deacylation of arachidonoyl-containing molecular species compared to non-arachidonoyl-containing molecular species of PC/PE occurs in THR-stimulated cells. This suggests certain AA-containing phospholipids are compartmentalized with and susceptible to, the action of phospholipase A/sub 2/.
