Cells obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage, or neutrophils of peripheral blood of dog, were incubated with the canine surfactant-associated protein A (SP-A). A significant decrease of the production of Superoxide anion was observed after subsequent stimulation with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) as measured by the lucigenin-dependent chemiluminesence (CL). Several other proteins used for control experiments did not decrease lucigenin-dependent CL, indicating a specific effect of SP-A on phagocytes. Treatment of SP-A with collagenase prior to incubation with neutrophils destroyed the depleting effect on oxygen radical production of PMA-stimulated cells. We propose that SP-A acts as a regulatory factor of the respitatory burst of alveolar macrophages and neutrophils in the lungs. The inhibitory effect of SP-A is down-regulated by collagenase released from stimulated alveolar macrophages.
