    The effects of ionophore A23187 on the incorporation of 32Pi into phospholipids and on 45Ca2+ uptake and release by polymorphonuclear leukocytes were examined. A23187 increased 32Pi incorporation into phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, and the phosphoinositides. It also promoted a rapid burst uptake and release of 45Ca2+ by leukocytes. External Ca2+, but not Mg2+, was required for full stimulation of 32Pi incorporation into phosphatidic acid and the phosphoinositides. In the absence of external Ca2+, the increased radiophosphorus activity of phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine and the phosphoinositides was grossly reduced but not eliminated, and the decreased radiophosphorus activity of phosphatidylcholine became pronounced. In addition, the ionophore effect on 32Pi incorporation into leukocyte phospholipids was not abolished by ethyleneglycol bis(beta-amino-ethylether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid. ATP radiophosphorus activity was also enhanced by the presence of A23187, but the enhancement was much less than that of the acidic phospholipids. Based on these findings, it is suggested that the increased 32Pi incorporation into the acidic phospholipids of leukocytes induced by A23187 was not solely derived from the higher radioactivity of ATP, increased Ca2+ fluxes and perturbation of cellular Ca2+ distribution of leukocytes exposed to A 23187 may trigger part of the altered 32Pi incorporation into phospholipids.
