Abstract
Neutrophils are the first line of defense against pathogens in bovines; however, they are also one of the most aggressive cells during the inflammatory process, causing injury in surrounding tissues. At present, anti-inflammatory drugs are limited in acute diseases, such as pneumonia, mastitis and endometritis, because neutrophils are mostly insensitive. One of the earliest events during neutrophil activation is the increase in intracellular calcium concentration. The calcium movement is attributed to the release from intracellular stores and influx through the calcium channels in the plasma membrane, a process called store operated calcium entry (SOCE). Recently, several calcium influx blockers have been shown to have strong effects on bovine neutrophils, and this suggests that the manipulation of this pathway can be useful in the control of neutrophil functions during acute inflammatory processes. In this paper, we will review the role of calcium influx as a potential anti-inflammatory target and summarize the most recent evidences for this in bovine neutrophils.

Abstract
Neutrophil's responses to G protein-coupled chemoattractants are highly dependent on store-operated calcium (Ca(2+)) entry (SOCE). Platelet-activating factor (PAF), a primary chemoattractant, simultaneously increases cytosolic-free Ca(2+), intracellular pH (pH(i)), ERK1/2, and Akt/protein kinase B (PKB) phosphorylation. In this study, we looked at the efficacy of several putative SOCE inhibitors and whether SOCE mediates intracellular alkalinization, ERK1/2, and Akt/PKB phosphorylation in bovine neutrophils. We demonstrated that the absence of external Ca(2+) and the presence of EGTA reduced the intracellular alkalinization and ERK1/2 phosphorylation induced by PAF, apparently via SOCE influx inhibition. Next, we tested the efficacy of several putative SOCE inhibitors such as 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), capsaicin, flufenamic acid, 1-{beta-[3-(4-methoxy-phenyl)propoxy]-4-methoxyphenethyl}-1H-imidazole hydrochloride (SK&F 96365), and N-(4-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]phenyl)-4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carboxamide (BTP2) on Ca(2+) entry induced by PAF or thapsigargin. 2-APB was the most potent SOCE inhibitor, followed by capsaicin and flufenamic acid. Conversely, SK&F 96365 reduced an intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) peak but SOCE partially. BTP2 did not show an inhibitory effect on [Ca(2+)](i) following PAF stimuli. 2-APB strongly reduced the pH(i) recovery, whereas the effect of flufenamic acid and SK&F 96365 was partial. Capsaicin and BTP2 did not affect the pH(i) changes induced by PAF. Finally, we observed that 2-APB reduced the ERK1/2 and Akt phosphorylation completely, whereas the inhibition with flufenamic acid was partial. The results suggest that 2-APB is the most potent SOCE inhibitor and support a key role of SOCE in pH alkalinization and PI-3K-ERK1/2 pathway control. Finally, 2-APB could be an important tool to characterize Ca(2+) signaling in neutrophils.

Abstract
Leukocytes counteract inflammatory pain by releasing opioid peptides, which bind to opioid receptors on peripheral sensory neurons. In the early phase of inflammation, polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) are the major source of opioids. Their recruitment is governed by ligands at the chemokine receptor CXCR2. Here, we examined whether chemokines can also induce opioid peptide secretion from PMN and thus inhibit inflammatory pain. In rats with hindpaw inflammation, intraplantar injection of CXCL2/3, but not of the CXCR4 ligand CXCL12, elicited naloxone-reversible (i.e., opioid receptor mediated) mechanical and thermal analgesia, which was abolished by systemic PMN depletion. Both CXCR1/2- and CXCR4-ligands induced PMN chemotaxis, but only CXCR1/2 ligands triggered opioid release from human and rat PMN in vitro. This release was unaltered by extracellular Ca2+ chelation, was mimicked by thapsigargin and was blocked by inhibitors of the inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP3) and by intracellular Ca2+ chelation, indicating that it required Ca2+ from intracellular but not extracellular sources. Furthermore, release was partially reduced by phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors. Adoptive transfer of allogenic PMN into PMN-depleted rats reconstituted CXCL2/3-induced analgesia, which was inhibited by prior ex vivo chelation of intracellular Ca2+. These findings demonstrate that, beyond cell recruitment, CXCR2 ligands induce Ca2+-regulated opioid release from PMN and thereby inhibit inflammatory pain in vivo.

Abstract
This study was designed to elucidate the signalling pathways by which secretory phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) induce in vitro neutrophil migration. The cell migration assays were performed with Naja mocambique venom PLA2 (sPLA2 with high catalytic activity), bothropstoxin-I (sPLA2 devoid of catalytic activity) and platelet-activating factor (PAF), using a 48-well microchemotaxis chamber. Both the non-selective protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine (30-300 nM) and the selective protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpyperazine (H7; 50-200 microM) as well as the Gi inactivator pertussis toxin (30-300 nM) caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of the neutrophil migration induced by either N. mocambique venom PLA2 (100 microg/ml) or bothropstoxin-I (100 microg/ml). Pertussis toxin nearly abolished PAF-induced migration, while staurosporine and H7 partly (but significantly) inhibited the chemotactic responses to PAF. The dual inhibitor of cytosolic PLA2 and Ca2+ -independent PLA2 (iPLA2), arachidonil-trifluoromethyl-ketone (ATK; 0.2-20 microM), or the specific iPLA2 inhibitor bromoenol lactone (1-30 microM) caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of the migration induced by either sPLA2s. At the maximal concentration used for each compound, the migration was almost suppressed. In contrast, both of these compounds caused only slight inhibitions of PAF-induced migration. No rise in intracellular Ca2+ was observed in neutrophil-stimulated sPLA2, as determined in cells preloaded with fura 2-AM. In the experimental condition used, pertussis toxin, staurosporine, H7, ATK or bromoenol lactone did not induce cytotoxic effects, according to MTT assay. Our results suggest that activation of an endogenous PLA2 through activation of GTP-binding protein and PKC is the main mechanism by which exogenous sPLA2s cause neutrophil migration.

Abstract
Human pooled albumin has traditionally been used both to pacify the artificial surfaces in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit and also for volume repletion following surgery. In evaluating the routine use of albumin in multiple phases of cardiac surgery, conscientious surgical teams must assess both the physiological and financial price of albumin. Albumin indiscriminately binds many plasma proteins and lipids. In this series of experiments, we explored the influence of highly purified albumin devoid of bound lipids and globulins on both receptor-dependent (FMLP) and receptor-independent (PMA) priming/activation of human neutrophils. We believe that it is important to distinguish the direct influence of albumin from the albumin-bound proteins and lipids. We, therefore, also examined the effect of clinically accessible human pooled albumin on human neutrophils. We observed a dose-dependent priming/activation (elastase release) of human neutrophils by both pooled and purified albumin. We conclude that it is increasingly difficult to justify the routine use of albumin in cardiac surgical patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The fenamates, a family of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that are derivatives of N-phenylanthranilic acid, are the inhibitors of cyclo-oxygenase. The ionic mechanism of actions of these compounds in osteoblasts is not well understood. METHODS The effects of the fenamates on ionic currents were investigated in a human osteoblast-like cell line (MG-63) with the aid of the whole-cell and inside-out configurations of the patch-clamp technique. RESULTS In MG-63 cells, niflumic acid and meclofenamic acid increased K+ outward currents (IK). The niflumic acid-stimulated IK was reversed by subsequent application of iberiotoxin or paxilline, yet not by that of glibenclamide or apamin. In the inside-out configuration, niflumic acid (30 micromol/L) added to the bath did not modify single-channel conductance but increased the activity of large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels. The EC50 values for niflumic acid- and meclofenamic acid-induced channel activity were 22 and 24 micromol/L, respectively. Niflumic acid (30 micromol/L) and meclofenamic acid (30 micromol/L) shifted the activation curve of BKCa channels to less positive membrane potentials. Membrane stretch potentiated niflumic acid-stimulated channel activity. The rank order of potency for the activation of BKCa channels in these cells was niflumic acid = meclofenamic acid > tolfenamic acid > flufenamic acid > nimesulide. Evans blue and nordihydroguaiaretic acid increased channel activity; however, indomethacin, piroxicam, and NS-398 had no effect on it. CONCLUSIONS The fenamates can stimulate BKCa channel activity in a manner that seems to be independent of the action of these drugs on the prostaglandin pathway. The activation of the BKCa channel may hyperpolarize the osteoblast, thereby modulating osteoblastic function.

Abstract
Human neutrophils by a chemiluminescence assay exhibit diminished phagocytic activity in the presence of abnormally high levels of the serum metabolite acetoacetate. These findings, along with our previous evidence demonstrating myeloperoxidase inhibition by acetoacetate, implicate metabolic ketosis in the inhibition of neutrophil microbicidal activity and thus in increased susceptibility to infections.

Abstract
Activation of neutrophil oxidases, including NADPH oxidase, is Ca2+ dependent. The aim of this study was to determine the roles of intra- and extracellular Ca2+, leading to generation of the respiratory burst, as monitored by luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (CL). All results were recorded as integrals (millivolt.min) and compared by a two-tail Student's t test. Preincubation of cells with chelators of intra- or extracellular Ca2+ inhibited N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP)-stimulated burst activity (p < 0.01). In contrast, stimulation by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), while inhibited by extracellular Ca2+ chelation with EGTA (p < 0.001), was potentiated by intracellular Ca2+ chelation with BAPTA (p < 0.01). This suggests that the protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated burst may be diminished by intracellular Ca(2+)-dependent phosphatase. A selective inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatase, sodium vanadate, potentiated CL generation by both FMLP and PMA, indicating a dominant phosphatase activation with transiently increased Ca2+, masking the kinase-mediated respiratory burst. The selective inhibitors of PKC or tyrosine kinase prevented PMA and vanadate/PMA stimulation (p < 0.005). Furthermore, the putative Ca2+ channel agonists glutamate (10(-5)M) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) (10(-5)M) alone failed to influence CL output, but produced marked potentiation following pre-treatment with vanadate. Again this indicates a dominant activation of phosphatase triggered by the glutamate-mediated Ca2+ influx, so masking the kinase-dependent NADPH oxidase activity. A competitive antagonist of NMDA, AP7, significantly decreased vanadate-mediated CL in an EGTA-sensitive manner (p < 0.001). The data confirm a requirement for intra- and extracellular Ca2+ in neutrophil respiratory burst activation via the kinase/phosphatase cycle, and an agonist effect by NMDA within the Ca2+ cascade mechanism.

Abstract
This study was designed to clarify the mechanism of the inhibitory action of a nitric oxide (NO) donor 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1) on human neutrophil degranulation. SIN-1 (100-1000 microM) inhibited degranulation (beta-glucuronidase release) in a concentration-dependent manner and concomitantly increased the levels of cGMP in human neutrophils in suspension. However, further studies suggested that neither NO nor increase in cGMP levels were mediating the inhibitory effect of SIN-1 on human neutrophil degranulation because 1) red blood cells or 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl added as NO scavengers did not inhibit the effect; 2) inhibitors of cGMP synthesis (methylene blue) or phosphodiesterases (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) did not produce changes in cell function correlating with the changes in cGMP. SIN-1 releases both nitric oxide and superoxide, which together form peroxynitrite. Chemically synthesized peroxynitrite (1-100 microM) did not inhibit, but at high concentrations (1000-2350 microM), it potentiated FMLP-induced beta-glucuronidase release from neutrophils. Thus formation of peroxynitrite from SIN-1 does not explain its inhibitory effects on neutrophil degranulation. The NO-deficient metabolite of SIN-1, SIN-1C (330-1000 microM) inhibited human neutrophil degranulation in a concentration-dependent manner similar to that of SIN-1 and reduced the increase in intracellular free calcium induced by N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine. C88-3934 (330-1000 microM), another NO-deficient sydnonimine metabolite, also inhibited human neutrophil degranulation. In conclusion, the data shows that the NO-donor SIN-1 inhibits human neutrophil degranulation in a cGMP-, NO-, and peroxynitrite-independent manner, probably because of the formation of more stable active metabolites such as SIN-1C. The results demonstrate that studies on the role of NO and/or peroxynitrite carried out with SIN-1 and other NO-donors should be carefully re-evaluated as to whether the effects found are really attributable to NO or peroxynitrite and that in future studies, it will be crucial to carry out control experiments with the NO-deficient metabolites in any studies with sydnonimine NO-donors.

Abstract
The present work was designed to study the pharmacological control of the receptor-mediated activation of human neutrophils by tolfenamic acid (2(-)[(3-chloro-2-methylphenyl)-amino]benzoic acid). Tolfenamic acid inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner the degranulation response and Ca2+ influx in neutrophils activated either by the chemotactic peptide fMLP (N-formyl-methionyl-leucylphenylalanine) or Ca2+ ionophore A23187 (calcimycin). When fMLP was used to activate neutrophils, tolfenamic acid (30 microM) reduced Ca2+ influx by 50% and degranulation by 20%. A23187-triggered Ca2+ influx and degranulation were inhibited by 60% and 40%, respectively, by 30 microM tolfenamic acid. Tolfenamic acid did not inhibit the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores induced either by fMLP or A23187. To confirm the inhibition of receptor-mediated cation influx by tolfenamic acid, the agonist induced Mn2+ influx was studied in Ca2+ free medium. Tolfenamic acid (10-30 microM) reduced fMLP-stimulated Mn2+ influx in neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner. The simultaneous Ca2+ release from intracellular stores was not affected. Protein kinase C activity in sonicated human neutrophils and the purified enzyme from rat brain were inhibited by the protein kinase inhibitor H-7 (1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine) but not by tolfenamic acid. Both failed to inhibit neutrophil degranulation induced by phorbol myristate acetate, a protein kinase C activator. Tolfenamic acid (100 microM) increased the cellular cAMP levels up to 1.3-fold in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine. No effects on cellular cGMP levels were found.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
