Intrapulmonary surfactant catabolism was investigated by use of a phospholipase A1- and A2-resistant analogue of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPC), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPC ether). [14C]DPC ether, made into liposomes with [3H]DPC and associated with 32P-labeled rabbit surfactant, was given intratracheally to 1-kg rabbits, which were killed at preset times to 48 h. Recoveries of radiolabel as saturated phosphatidylcholine (Sat PC) isolated from alveolar wash (AW), postlavage lung homogenate (LH), and alveolar macrophages were measured. All groups had similar AW and LH Sat PC pool sizes, indicating no perturbation of endogenous Sat PC pools. Despite a nearly fivefold accumulation of [14C]DPC ether in the lung by 48 h (P less than 0.01), the three probes had similar alveolar clearance curves. Furthermore, the Sat PC reutilization efficiency (41.6%) and turnover time (5.9 h) calculated for DPC ether were not different from values for the DPC and rabbit surfactant. Of the DPC ether (0.7%) and DPC (9%) labels recovered as PC in organs outside the lung, greater than 85% was unsaturated, indicating de novo synthesis using precursors from degraded PC. DPC ether was a useful probe of intrapulmonary DPC catabolism, and after alveolar uptake there was no direct reentry of intact DPC from the catabolic compartment(s) into the secretory pathway.
