Selective roles for alpha-PKC in positive signaling for O-(2) generation and calcium mobilization but not elastase release in differentiated HL60 cells.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) isotypes and Ca2+ mobilization have been implicated in phagocytic cell functions such as O(-)(2) generation. Ca/DG-dependent alpha-PKC and beta-PKC have similar substrate specificities and cofactor requirements in vitro. However it is not known if these isotypes play redundant or unique roles in the intact cell. In the present study, a role for alpha-PKC in positive signaling for fMet-Leu-Phe- and PMA-activated O(-)(2) generation was probed using an siRNA strategy in HL60 cells differentiated to a neutrophilic phenotype (dHL60 cells). A selective decrease in alpha-PKC in dHL60 cells attenuated O(-)(2) generation but not degranulation, and reduced ligand-induced phosphorylation of p47phox as previously shown for beta-PKC. However alpha-PKC, unlike beta-PKC, was a positive regulator of fMet-Leu-Phe-triggered Ca2+ uptake via SOCC (Store Operated Calcium Channels). The ability of a selective SOCC inhibitor, MRS1845, to decrease fMet-Leu-Phe induced Ca2+ uptake and O(-)(2) generation confirmed that Ca2+ uptake via SOCC was required for O(-)(2) generation. These results indicate that alpha-PKC and beta-PKC are required for optimal O(-)(2) generation, but play different roles in Ca2+ signaling for phagocytic responses such as O(-)(2) generation.

Abstract
In phagocytic cells, fMet-Leu-Phe triggers phosphoinositide remodeling, activation of protein kinase C (PKC), release of intracellular Ca(2+) and uptake of extracellular Ca(2+). Uptake of extracellular Ca(2+) can be triggered by store-operated Ca(2+) channels (SOCC) and via a receptor-operated nonselective cation channel(s). In neutrophilic HL60 cells, the PKC activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) activates multiple PKC isotypes, PKC-alpha, PKC-beta, and PKC-delta, and inhibits ligand-initiated mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+) and uptake of extracellular Ca(2+). Therefore PKC is a negative regulator at several points in Ca(2+) mobilization. In contrast, selective depletion of PKC-beta in HL60 cells by an antisense strategy enhanced fMet-Leu-Phe-initiated Ca(2+) uptake but not mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+). Thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) uptake through SOCC was not affected by PKC-beta II depletion. Thus PKC-beta II is a selective negative regulator of Ca(2+) uptake but not release of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. PKC-beta II inhibits a receptor-operated cation or Ca(2+) channel, thus inhibiting ligand-initiated Ca(2+) uptake.

Abstract
Selective protein kinase C (PKC) activators and inhibitors and a physiological agonist, fMLP, were used to study superoxide production and PKC isoenzyme activation in human neutrophils. The data show that the classical PKC isoenzymes, alpha and beta, were activated by TPA and at a time prior to NADPH oxidase complex assembly. fMLP induced activation of PKC-beta over a similar time course. Inhibition of c-PKCs reduced, but did not block, TPA-induced superoxide production completely, suggesting additional PKC isoenzymes were involved beyond NADPH oxidase assembly. PKC inhibitors were unable to inhibit fMLP-induced superoxide generation, indicative of signal redundancy in the induction of superoxide generation in human neutrophils.

Abstract
Agonist-sensitive phosphoinositide pools are maintained by recently-identified wortmannin (WT)-sensitive phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase(s) (Nakanishi, S., Catt, K. J., and Balla, T. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 92, 5317-5321). Two loosely membrane-associated WT-sensitive type III PI 4-kinases were isolated from bovine adrenal cortex as [3H]WT-labeled 110- and 210-kDa proteins. Based on peptide sequences from the smaller enzyme, a 3. 9-kilobase pair (kb) cDNA with an open reading frame encoding a 90-kDa protein was isolated from a bovine brain cDNA library. Expression of this cDNA in COS-7 cells yielded a 110-kDa protein with WT-sensitive PI 4-kinase activity. Northern blot analysis of a human mRNA panel showed a single approximately 3.8-kb transcript. Peptide sequences obtained from the 210-kDa enzyme corresponded to those of a recently described rat 230-kDa PI 4-kinase. A 6.5-kb cDNA containing an open reading frame of 6129 nucleotides that encoded a 230-kDa protein, was isolated from brain cDNA. Northern blot analysis of human mRNA revealed a major 7.5-kb transcript. The molecular cloning of these novel WT-sensitive type III PI 4-kinases will allow detailed analysis of their signaling and other regulatory functions in mammalian cells.

Abstract
When activated, inflammatory cells such as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) can damage isolated hepatocytes in vitro. These studies were performed to determine if flutamide activates PMNs. Flutamide (Eulexin) is an orally active, nonsteroidal antiandrogen that can cause liver injury associated with inflammation. Activation of PMNs was assessed from the production of superoxide anion and the release of myeloperoxidase in the presence or absence of flutamide and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or f-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fmlp). In addition, hepatocytes were cocultured with PMNs stimulated with PMA or fmlp in the presence or absence of flutamide, and cytotoxicity to hepatocytes was evaluated from the release of alanine aminotransferase into the medium. Flutamide alone did not stimulate the generation of superoxide anion by PMNs but potentiated its production in response to PMA. At lower concentrations of flutamide (i.e. 25 microM), there was a tendency toward increased release of myeloperoxidase, whereas at higher concentrations (i.e. 75-100 microM) flutamide inhibited degranulation in response to fmlp. In coculture with hepatocytes, PMNs exposed to either flutamide, fmlp, or PMA alone caused a significant increase in release of alanine aminotransferase. Hepatocellular toxicity caused by PMNs incubated with flutamide and PMA was additive and was not affected by the addition of superoxide dismutase and catalase. Flutamide had no significant effect on fmlp-induced injury in cocultures. These data indicate that flutamide alters the activation of PMNs by subsequent stimuli in vitro. In addition, in the presence of flutamide, minor PMN-mediated injury to isolated hepatocytes was observed.

Abstract
Previous studies implicating a role for protein kinase C (PKC) in mediating stimulation of cellular responses by physiological agonists have relied on use of non-specific inhibitors or direct stimulation of PKC by phorbol esters. However, much of this evidence is questionable. Here, we have investigated the effects of a potent and selective PKC inhibitor, Ro 31-8425, on three different responses of human neutrophils stimulated by either a physiological agonist, C5a, or a phorbol ester, PMA. The responses studied were superoxide generation, collagenase secretion and adhesion to endothelial cells. In each case, the PMA-stimulated response was more sensitive to inhibition than the C5a-stimulated response. Even the PMA-stimulated responses differed in their sensitivity to inhibition, with superoxide production being the most sensitive and adhesion at least sensitive. The different sensitivities of the PMA stimulated responses suggest that, although activation of PKC stimulates the responses, either different degrees of activation or different isozymes are required for the different responses. The lower sensitivity of the C5a-stimulated responses in each case suggests that PKC activation, if needed at all, is not rate limiting in these signal transduction pathways. These results emphasize the redundancy in intracellular signal transduction.

Abstract
In human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), changes in the actin architecture are critical for the shape changes required for chemotaxis and phagocytosis. Barbed-end capping proteins are likely to regulate actin assembly in PMN. The previously identified barbed-end blocking proteins in PMN, gelsolin and CapG, require Ca(2+) to initiate capping of actin filaments. Because chemoattractants can stimulate PMN actin assembly by a calcium-independent signal transduction pathway, we sought to purify a calcium-independent barbed-end capping activity from PMN cytoplasmic extracts. A Ca(2+) -insensitive actin polymerization inhibitory activity was partially purified from human PMN [Southwick & Stossel (1981) J. Biol. Chem 256, 3030]. Using five column chromatography steps, we purified the protein to homogeneity as assessed by silver staining. Purification was associated with an increase in specific activity of greater than 40 X. Western blot analysis identified the protein as the nonmuscle isoform of the heterodimeric capping protein capZ. Human PMN capZ has an apparent disassociation constant of 3 nM for capping in the presence or absence of micromolar Ca(2+), as assessed by both pyrenylactin elongation and depolymerization assays. Similar to the activity reported for the actin polymerization inhibitor, activity of PMN capZ was inhibited by increasing the KC1 concentration from 0.1 M to 0.6 M. The capping function was also inhibited by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) micelles, with half-maximal inhibition occurring at 5.5 micrograms mL(-1). PMN capZ did not nucleate actin assembly, sequester actin monomers, or sever actin filaments. Quantitative Western blot analysis revealed that capZ levels corresponded to 0.7-1.0% of the total human PMN cytoplasmic protein. Given its abundance and high affinity for barbed filament ends, capZ is likely to play an important role in the calcium-independent regulation of actin filament assembly associated with PMN chemotaxis.

Abstract
Because a general study of activated neutrophils may have relevance to periodontal diseases and accompanying inflammation, we studied a function of mouse polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) that exude into the peritoneal cavity in response to inflammation caused by i.p. injection of 2% casein. The effects of E. coli-lipopolysaccharide (E-LPS) and a chemotactic factor, N-formyl-N-methionyl-N-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (FMLP), on the level of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) in these PMNs were examined. From analysis made with a laser cytometer (ACAS 570), the PMNs in exudates harvested 3-9 h after the onset of inflammation were shown to undergo [Ca2+]i elevation in response to 10(-6) M FMLP. The peak concentration of [Ca2+]i elicited by FMLP was highest in exudate cells 6 h after casein injection. In addition, about 65% of the PMNs in the 3-h exudate were FMLP sensitive displaying an elevated [Ca2+]i, whereas more than 85% of them in 6- and 9-h exudates became FMLP sensitive. Also, the maximum level of [Ca2+]i after FMLP stimulation was potentiated by pretreatment of the cells with E-LPS (0.2 microgram/ml). The present study suggests that PMNs induced by casein injection and appearing in mouse peritoneal exudate at different times possess significantly different ability to undergo [Ca2+]i elevation, and different susceptibility toward a chemotactic factor, FMLP.

Abstract
The macrolide FK506 inhibited, by up to 50%, neutrophil migration and the production of the superoxide radical in response to the formyl peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). The production of the superoxide radical in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) was unaffected by FK506. The inhibition of neutrophil functions was accompanied by a partial reversal of FMLP-induced synthesis of cellular proteins, despite a rise in intracellular Ca2+. Neutrophils treated with FK506 demonstrated a small (average 23%) though significant decrease in formyl-peptide receptor numbers but receptor binding affinity was unaffected. The effects of FK506 on neutrophil activation appear to be analogous to those in T-lymphocytes. The incomplete inhibition, by FK506, of neutrophil responses suggests further that activation by FMLP is mediated via distinct multiple signalling pathways, including protein kinase activation and protein synthesis. The inability of FK506 to reduce FMLP-induced rises in cellular Ca2+ or PMA-induced activation of neutrophils suggests that its action is distal to Ca2+ mobilization and distinct from pathways relying on PKC activation. Thus the immunosuppressive effects of FK506 in vivo might be mediated through the inhibition of inflammatory cells other than lymphocytes and the drug therefore has therapeutic potential in a variety of inflammatory conditions. The drug also has potential in vitro for the characterization of signalling pathways from the plasma membrane to the nucleus.

Abstract
The role of protein kinase C (PKC) in mediating up-regulation of macrophage 1 adhesion protein (Mac-1) and adhesion of neutrophils in response to physiological agonists is not clear. Previous studies have relied on use of phorbol esters to activate PKC directly or on results obtained with non-selective inhibitors of protein kinases. 3-[8-(Aminomethyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyridol[1,2-a]-indol-10-yl]-4 -(1- methyl-3-indolyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione hydrochloride (Ro 31-8425) is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of PKC (Bit et al. J. Med. Chem. 1993. 36: 21). In these studies Ro 31-8425 has been used to define, more definitively, the role of PKC in mediating complement fragment C5a (C5a)-stimulated up-regulation of Mac-1 and adhesion of neutrophils to endothelial cells and to bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated plastic. Phorbol 12, 13 dibutyrate (PBu2) increased surface expression of Mac-1 and stimulated adhesion of neutrophils to endothelial cells and to BSA-coated plastic. This confirms previous reports that activation of PKC can stimulate these responses. The PKC inhibitor, Ro 31-8425, inhibited the PBu2-stimulated responses, which confirms that Ro 31-8425 was effective in inhibiting PKC in these neutrophils. A more physiological agonist, C5a, also increased surface expression of Mac-1 and adhesion of neutrophils to endothelial cells and BSA-coated plastic. However, the responses to C5a were unaffected by Ro 31-8425. These results suggest that, although activation of PKC can promote up-regulation of Mac-1 and adhesion of neutrophils, this does not appear to be the physiological pathway. A non-selective protein kinase inhibitor, staurosporine, inhibited both PBu2 and C5a-stimulated adhesion. This suggests that a protein kinase other than PKC, possibly a tyrosine protein kinase, is likely to be involved in mediating C5a-stimulated Mac-1 up-regulation and adhesion. These results emphasise the need for caution in interpreting experiments and assuming a role for PKC. Use of a potent and selective inhibitor of PKC, Ro 31-8425, provides more definitive information.

Abstract
The diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor R59022 induced chemotaxis in neutrophils. The response to R59022 was primarily chemotactic and only very little chemokinetic. Pretreatment with the protein kinase C inhibitors staurosporine and AMG-C16 inhibited chemotaxis induced by R59022 indicating the involvement of protein kinase C. In contrast, chemotaxis induced by fMet-Leu-Phe was only slightly inhibited by staurosporine and AMG16. The effects of R59022 were comparable to the effects of the protein kinase C activators DiC8 and PMA and suggest an involvement of protein kinase C. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin inhibited R59022-induced migration, fMet-Leu-Phe-induced migration, and random migration. GTP gamma S, which stimulates migration of electropermeabilized neutrophils by itself, causes an additive increase of migration in electropermeabilized neutrophils stimulated with a suboptimal concentration R59022, but causes a synergistic increase of migration in cells stimulated with a suboptimal concentration fMet-Leu-Phe. The effects of GTP gamma S on migration are completely inhibited by AMG-C16. This suggests that the GTP-binding protein involved in R59022-activated migration is the G protein that is associated with random migration.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of a series of phorbol esters with different spectra of biological activities and different patterns of activation of the isoenzymes of protein kinase C (PKC) have been studied in human neutrophils. The aim was to gain more information on which isoenzymes of PKC are involved in neutrophil activation, specifically inhibition of fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-stimulated bivalent cation influx and stimulation of O2-. release (either alone or potentiation of the response to fMLP). Prior addition of both phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and sapintoxin A (SAPA) inhibited fMLP-stimulated Mn2+ influx. Higher concentrations of resiniferatoxin (RX) were also inhibitory, inhibition being more apparent at longer preincubation times. However, 12-deoxyphorbol 13-O-phenylacetate (DOPPA) showed only a slight inhibitory effect and required a prolonged preincubation. PMA, SAPA and RX, but not DOPPA, stimulated O2-. release by themselves. Lower concentrations of PMA, SAPA and RX, which were ineffective alone, considerably potentiated O2-. release stimulated by fMLP, whereas DOPPA had little or no effect. These results rule out a major role for PKC-delta (not activated by SAPA) and PKC-beta 1 (activated by DOPPA), but suggest the involvement of RX kinase in addition to PKC in the inhibition of fMLP-stimulated Mn2+ influx and potentiation of fMLP-stimulated O2-. release. However, when the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was elevated with the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin, DOPPA was able to stimulate O2-. release, which probably reflects the known Ca2+ requirement for activation of PKC-beta 1 by DOPPA in vitro. The effects of the other phorbols were also enhanced when [Ca2+]i was elevated; all of the phorbols synergize, to variable extents, with Ca2+ to activate PKC in vitro. Enhancement of RX-stimulated O2- release by elevation of [Ca2+]i was unexpected, since RX kinase has been reported to be inhibited by high concentrations of Ca2+ in vitro. Finally, use of fura-2 and SK&F 96365 to manipulate the fMLP-stimulated rise in [Ca2+]i showed that when fMLP was able to evoke its normal rise in [Ca2+]i (to a peak of 700-900 nM), O2-. release was potentiated by PMA, SAPA and RX. However, when fMLP was only able to evoke a small increase in [Ca2+]i (to a peak of 400 nM), potentiation by PMA was unaffected but potentiation by SAPA and RX was considerably reduced. This observation agrees with published data demonstrating that activation of PKC in vitro by SAPA is more Ca(2+)-dependent than activation by PMA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Cloricromene, an antithrombotic agent known to inhibit the release of arachidonic acid (AA) in stimulated human platelets, was tested for its effects on arachidonate release and metabolism in human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs). Cloricromene dose-dependently suppressed the release of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), as assessed by radioimmunoassay, from both isolated PMNs and human whole blood stimulated with the calcium ionophore A23187 or with serum-treated zymosan (STZ). The inhibitory effect was higher when the concentration of the stimulating agent was weaker. Cloricromene also inhibited dose-dependently the liberation of LTB4, LTC4, LTD4 and 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatraenoic acid as assessed by HPLC in the supernantant of A23187-stimulated PMNs. Finally, the drug was able to suppress the release of [3H]AA from purified human PMNs prelabeled with the radioactive fatty acid and stimulated with either A23187 or with STZ. The A23187-induced decrease in the radioactivity of phosphatidylinositol, the phospholipid class mainly involved in AA release in stimulated PMNs, was also inhibited by cloricromene. Cloricromene suppresses leukotriene formation in human PMNs by reducing AA release from membrane phospholipids, possibly through interference with phospholipase A2 activation; this activity may contribute to the leucocyte-inhibitory effects reported previously for cloricromene.

Abstract
We detail the purification and characterization of three distinct isoforms of PtdIns4P 5-kinase present in bovine brain. One of these, PtdIns4P 5-kinase C, was purified to apparent homogeneity, and SDS/PAGE analysis demonstrated a single polypeptide and molecular mass 53 KDa. These three isoforms were shown to differ in their kinetic properties, and immunological characterization with an antibody raised to PtdIns4P 5-kinase C demonstrated that this isoform was unrelated to the other two. Furthermore, PtdIns4P 5-kinase C was shown to be the bovine brain homologue of the Type II PtdIns4P 5-kinase previously purified from human erythrocytes [Bazenet, Ruano, Brockman & Anderson (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 18012-18022].

Abstract
In vitro Ca++ activates gelsolin to sever F-actin and form a gelsolin-actin (GA) complex at the+end of F-actin that is not dissociated by ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) but is separated by EGTA+PIP/PIP2. The gelsolin blocks the+end on the actin filament, but the-end of the filament can still initiate actin polymerization. In thrombin activated platelets, evidence suggests that severing of F-actin by gelsolin increases GA complex, creates one-end actin nucleus and one cryptic+end actin nucleus per cut, and then dissociates to yield free+ends to nucleate rapid actin assembly. We examined the role of F-actin severing in creation and regulation of nuclei and polymerization in polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). At 2-s intervals after formyl peptide (FMLP) activation of endotoxin free (ETF) PMNs, change in GA complex was correlated with change in+end actin nuclei,-end actin nuclei, and F-actin content. GA complex was quantitated by electrophoretograms of proteins absorbed by antigelsolin from cells lysed in 10 mM EGTA,+end actin nuclei as cytochalasin (CD) sensitive and-end actin nuclei as CD insensitive increases in G-pyrenyl actin polymerization rates induced by the same PMNs, and F-actin content by NBDphallacidin binding to fixed cells. Thirty three percent of gelsolin was in GA complex in basal ETF PMNs; from 2-6 s, GA complexes dissociate (low = 15% at 10 s) and sequentially+end nuclei and F-actin content and then-end nuclei increase to a maximum at 10 s. At > s GA complex increase toward basal and + end nuclei and F-actin content returned toward basal. These kinetic data show gelsolin regulates availability of + end nuclei and actin polymerization in FMLP. However, absence of an initial increase in GA complex or - end nucleating activity shows FMLP activation does not cause gelsolin to sever F- or to bind G-actin to create cryptic + end nuclei in PMNs; the results suggest the + nucleus formation is gelsolin independent.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) appears to have a central role in the O2- response of neutrophils following stimulation of membrane receptors. The second messenger, diacylglycerol (DG), that activates PKC is derived from membrane phospholipids via activation of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-phospholipase C (PLC) and phospholipase D (PLD), with the latter pathway being more prominent in primed cells. In resting cells receptor coupling to PLD is through a G-protein. Priming brings a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase into the transducer sequence which, through protein phosphorylation, increases the efficiency of coupling between membrane receptors and PLD. Phosphatidic acid (PA), the initial product of the PLD pathway, also appears to act as a second messenger by directly activating the NADPH oxidase responsible for generating O2-. Interconversion of PA and DG by phosphatidate phosphohydrolase and DG kinase determines which of these second messengers has the dominant role.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids by phospholipase C is initiated by either receptor stimulation or opening of Ca2+ channels. This was once thought to be the sole mechanism to produce the diacylglycerol that links extracellular signals to intracellular events through activation of protein kinase C. It is becoming clear that agonist-induced hydrolysis of other membrane phospholipids, particularly choline phospholipids, by phospholipase D and phospholipase A2 may also take part in cell signaling. The products of hydrolysis of these phospholipids may enhance and prolong the activation of protein kinase C. Such prolonged activation of protein kinase C is essential for long-term cellular responses such as cell proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
It has been established that phagocytic cells are integral components of advanced arteriosclerotic plaques but their role in plaque formation remains unclear. Therefore, toxic agents, such as superoxide anion produced by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) were studied in a clinically defined group of arteriosclerotic patients suffering from obliterative arteriosclerosis of the lower legs. Owing to a close correlation between O2- generation and calcium, the intracellular free calcium concentrations of PMNLs were measured in a resting state and after stimulation with various agents, for example, opsonized zymosan (OZ), the chemotactic peptide f-met-leu-phe (FMLP), and the calcium ionophore A23187. Healthy aged-matched controls were employed. The patients were divided into two age groups: 30-59 years and 60-80 years. We found that in the younger group of arteriosclerotic patients, superoxide anion production and intracellular free calcium concentrations were increased even in the resting state, and only a slight increase was observed after stimulation compared with healthy controls. Granulocyte responses seemed to be similar, independent of the patient's age, to those found in healthy elderly subjects. Arteriosclerosis appears to be associated with an early aging process expressing marked alterations that are greater than those associated with normal aging.

Abstract
Propionic acid induces a calcium mobilization in human neutrophils which is prevented by pretreatment with phorbol ester or pertussis toxin. The effect is reminiscent of that of chemotactic factors and leukotriene B4 and was attributed to cytoplasmic acidification (Naccache, P.H. et al. (1988) J. Cell. Physiol. 136, 118-124). We show there that other weak acids also induced cytoplasmic alkalinization and calcium mobilization. However, addition of trimethylamine together with propionic acid prevented the cytoplasmic acidification without modifying the calcium mobilization. Propionic acid increased the production of inositol phosphates but this effect was largely prevented by the joint addition of trimethylamine. The ionophores nigericin and monensin can both be forced to produce either cytoplasmic acidification or alkalinization by manipulating the extracellular concentrations of Na+, K+ or H+. Both ionophores produced calcium mobilization in all the cases, irrespective of the direction of the cytoplasmic pH shift. The ionophores were documented to collapse existing pH gradients among the cytoplasm and intracellular compartments. We conclude that the calcium-mobilizing effect of propionic acid and other weak acids is not due to the acidification of the cytoplasm. Our results are consistent, however, with calcium mobilization induced by weak acids and ionophores arising from acidification of an alkaline intracellular compartment.

Abstract
Menadione is a synthetic derivative of the natural vitamins K with antiinflammatory activity among its potentially significant clinical properties. We have found this agent to stimulate the production of superoxide anion (O2-) in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and dimethylsulfoxide-differentiated HL-60 cells in a time-, cell number-, and drug concentration-dependent manner. Conversely, menadione attenuates both O2- production and lysozyme release in cells stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), fMet-Leu-Phe, or Ca2+ ionophore. 4-Acetamido-4'-isothiocyano-2-2'-disulfonic acid stilbene and 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2-2'disulfonic acid stilbene, agents which inhibit transmembrane O2-) flux, do not alter menadione's effects on superoxide dismutase (SOD) inhibitable cytochrome c reduction in resting or PMA-stimulated PMN. Likewise, quinone reductase inhibitors, warfarin and dicumarol, known to attenuate vitamin K-dependent responses and enhance quinone-mediated oxidative stress, have no effect upon menadione-stimulated O2- production. Furthermore, menadione-induced suppression of stimulus-mediated lysozyme release is not reversed by cotreatment with oxygen metabolite scavenging enzymes SOD and catalase. Nevertheless, under conditions of restricted oxygen supply, the suppressive effect of menadione on stimulant-induced lysozyme release is greatly diminished. Thus, although pharmacological manipulation suggests otherwise, there appears to exist at least a component of the inhibitory activity of menadione that is oxygen dependent, and may be oxidative stress-related.

Abstract
The fraction of polymerized actin in human blood neutrophils increases after exposure to formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fmlp), is maximal 10 s after peptide addition, and decreases after 300 s. Most of the gelsolin (85 +/- 11%) in resting ficoll-hypaque (FH)-purified neutrophils is in an EGTA resistant, 1:1 gelsolin-actin complex, and, within 5 s after 10(-7) M fmlp activation, the amount of gelsolin complexed with actin decreases to 42 +/- 12%. Reversal of gelsolin binding to actin occurs concurrently with an increase in F-actin content, and the appearance of barbed-end nucleating activity. The rate of dissociation of EGTA resistant, 1:1 gelsolin-actin complexes is more rapid in cells exposed to 10(-7) M fmlp than in cells exposed to 10(-9) M fmlp, and the extent of dissociation 10 s after activation depends upon the fmlp concentration. Furthermore, 300 s after fmlp activation when F-actin content is decreasing, gelsolin reassociates with actin as evidenced by an increase in the amount of EGTA resistant, 1:1 gelsolin-actin complex. Since fmlp induces barbed end actin polymerization in neutrophils and since in vitro the gelsolin-actin complex caps the barbed ends of actin filaments and blocks their growth, the data suggests that in FH neutrophils fmlp-induced actin polymerization could be initiated by the reversal of gelsolin binding to actin and the uncapping of actin filaments or nuclei. The data shows that formation and dissociation of gelsolin-actin complexes, together with the effects of other actin regulatory proteins, are important steps in the regulation of actin polymerization in neutrophils. Finally, finding increased amounts of gelsolin-actin complex in basal FH cells and dissociation of the complex in fmlp-activated cells suggests a mechanism by which fmlp can cause actin polymerization without an acute increase in cytosolic Ca++.

Abstract
Isolated human hepatocytes and separated neutrophils of 11 patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) were used to study some aspects of cellular calcium-related processes compared to nonalcoholic controls. 45Ca2+ efflux from the cells decreased in ALD and the calmodulin-inhibitor trifluoperazine did not influence it further. The intracellular free calcium concentration [( Ca2+]i) of nonstimulated hepatocytes and neutrophils proved to be higher in ALD with the Quin2/AM loading technique. However, the [Ca2+]i rise in hepatocytes and neutrophils, with stimulation by low density lipoprotein (LDL) and N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl phenylalanine (FMLP), respectively, was diminished in ALD compared to appropriate controls. The slower 45Ca2+ extrusion rate, higher basal [Ca2+]i levels, and the diminished [Ca2+]i elevation of activated hepatocytes and neutrophils, suggest disturbed calcium-related intracellular processes in ALD, in particular, impaired regulation of the plasma membrane Ca2(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
The mechanism of eosinophil secretion was studied in guinea pig eosinophils by measuring release of hexosaminidase from cell suspensions (greater than 98% pure) permeabilized with streptolysin-O and by whole-cell patch-clamp capacitance measurements. It is shown that release of eosinophil granule components occurs by an exocytotic mechanism in which individual granules fuse with the plasma membrane. Exocytosis can be induced by intracellular application of the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP-gamma-S), suggesting the involvement of a GTP-binding protein. The activation is modulated by the intracellular calcium concentration, with activation by GTP-gamma-S inducing transient elevations in the concentration of Ca2+. Thus, the nature and regulation of the release mechanism appear to be very similar to that of the mast cell and neutrophil.

Abstract
A phospholipase D activity able to hydrolyze phosphatidylinositol has previously been described in the cytosol of human neutrophils. The experiments reported here demonstrate that this phosphatidylinositol-hydrolyzing phospholipase D activity is also present in human plasma. This activity was assessed by free inositol release from phosphatidylinositol substrate, by phosphatidate formation and by phosphatidylethanol formation through its capacity of catalyzing a transphosphatidylation reaction. This plasma enzyme activity shows an optimum pH of 8.0 and is inhibited by EGTA.

Abstract
We have found a phospholipase D activity in the postnuclear fraction of human neutrophils, employing phosphatidylinositol as exogenous substrate. This phospholipase D activity was assessed by both phosphatidate formation and by free inositol release in the presence of 15 mM LiCl in the reaction mixture and in the absence of Mg2+ ions to prevent inositol-1-phosphate phosphatase activity. To assess further the phospholipase D activity, we studied its capacity to catalyze a transphosphatidylation reaction, as a unique feature of the enzyme. It was detected as [14C]phosphatidylethanol formation when the postnuclear fraction was incubated with [14C]phosphatidylinositol in the presence of ethanol. The phospholipase D showed a major optimum pH at 7.5 and a minor one at pH 5.0. Neutral and acid phospholipase D activities were differentially located in subcellular fractionation studies of resting neutrophils, namely in the cytosol and in the azurophilic granules, respectively. Neutral phospholipase D required Ca2+ ions to the active, whereas the acid enzyme activity was Ca2(+)-independent. The neutral phospholipase D activity showed a certain specificity for phosphatidylinositol, as it was able to hydrolyze phosphatidylinositol at a much higher rate than phosphatidylcholine, in the absence and in the presence of different detergents. This neutral phospholipase D activity behaved as a protein of high molecular mass (350-400 kDa) by gel filtration chromatography. Moreover, neutral phospholipase D activity was detected in the postnuclear fraction of human monocytes, by measuring free inositol release from phosphatidylinositol as exogenous substrate, under the same experimental conditions as those used with neutrophils. The enzyme displayed similar specific activities in both cell types as well as the same degree of activation after cell stimulation with the calcium ionophore A23187. These results demonstrate the existence of two phospholipase D activities with different pH optima and intracellular location in human neutrophils. Furthermore, these results suggest that this phospholipase D can play a role in signal-transducing processes during cell stimulation in human phagocytes.

Abstract
Stimulation of fura-2-loaded human neutrophils with formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) or ionomycin elevated the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+], to a maintained elevated level. Activation of protein kinase C (C-kinase) with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate or dioctanoylglycerol caused decreases in [Ca2+]i from this level. 4 alpha-Phorbol didecanoate, which does not activate C-kinase, had no effect. These results confirm previous reports that C-kinase activation decreases neutrophil [Ca2+]i by stimulating removal of Ca2+ from the cytosol. Further experiments showed that activation of C-kinase attenuated the component of the FMLP-stimulated [Ca2+]i rise that was dependent on external Ca2+. C-kinase activation also inhibited FMLP-stimulated entry of the quenching cation, Mn2+, used as an indicator of bivalent-cation entry. In contrast, C-kinase activation caused only a partial inhibition of FMLP-stimulated release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. 4 alpha-Phorbol didecanoate was ineffective in inhibiting Ca2+ entry, Mn2+ entry and intracellular Ca2+ release. Addition of FMLP also stimulated a decrease in the ionomycin-elevated [Ca2+]i, and this effect was blocked by staurosporine, a protein kinase inhibitor. These results show that, in addition to stimulating Ca2+ efflux, C-kinase activation in neutrophils inhibits FMLP-stimulated entry of bivalent cations, and partially inhibits intracellular release of Ca2+. Further, FMLP itself can modulate [Ca2+]i by activation of C-kinase.

Abstract
Neomycin, an inositol-phospholipid-binding aminoglycoside antibiotic, is known to interfere with signal transduction mechanisms involving phospholipase C as effector enzyme. In this study, we report that neomycin can also markedly influence agonist binding of G-protein-coupled receptors. In membranes of differentiated human leukemia cells (HL 60 cells), neomycin (0.1-10 mM) was found to induce high-affinity binding of the chemotactic tripeptide, N-formyl-methionylleucylphenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe), to its receptor sites in a manner similar to magnesium. Gentamycin and streptomycin, two other aminoglycoside antibiotics, were as potent and as effective as neomycin or magnesium in inducing high-affinity agonist receptor binding. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin reduced the effects of magnesium and neomycin on agonist receptor binding likewise. In contrast, magnesium but not neomycin largely enhanced the potency of guanine nucleotides, particularly of GTP and its analog, guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), to reduce fMet-Leu-Phe receptor binding, while maximal inhibition of agonist receptor binding by guanine nucleotides was identical with magnesium and neomycin. Furthermore, neomycin could not replace magnesium in providing stimulation of HL 60 membrane high-affinity GTPase by fMet-Leu-Phe. In close agreement to these findings on the pertussis-toxin-sensitive Gi-protein-coupled formyl peptide receptors, neomycin in a manner similar to magnesium induced high-affinity agonist binding of Gs-protein-coupled beta-adrenoceptors. Similar to formyl peptide receptor binding, high-affinity binding of isoproterenol to beta-adrenoceptors in guinea pig lung membranes induced by magnesium and neomycin was inhibited by the GTP analog, guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), to a similar maximal extent but with an about 100-fold higher potency in the presence of magnesium than in the presence of neomycin. The data presented thus indicate that neomycin and other aminoglycoside antibiotics can mimic the action of magnesium (or other divalent cations) in inducing high-affinity agonist binding of Gi- and Gs-protein-coupled receptors, but not in inducing subsequent G-protein activation by guanosine triphosphates. The data, furthermore, suggest that neomycin by this selective action will be a powerful tool to dissect the multiple sites of magnesium's action in the agonist receptor-G-protein interaction.

Abstract
In chemotactic factor-stimulated neutrophils, rapid increases of intracellular levels of cyclic AMP, calcium, and diacylglycerol have been observed and may be linked to protein kinase activation. The study of the physiological role and regulation of protein kinases in the neutrophil and the identification of their substrates has provided valuable information on the molecular mechanism of neutrophil activation. The focus of this review is on those aspects of protein kinases that are relevant to neutrophil activation and on the substrate proteins for these protein kinases. The possible role of protein phosphorylation in neutrophil function is also discussed.

Abstract
A major bactericidal mechanism of neutrophils involves activation of the respiratory burst oxidase to generate superoxide (O2-). The oxidase is activated rapidly, often within a minute, in response to extracellular signals such as chemoattractants, inflammatory mediators, and invading microorganisms. Increasing evidence indicates that lipases also respond rapidly, releasing potent regulatory molecules from progenitor lipids. Released molecules include potential regulators of protein kinase C--diacylglycerol (DAG), arachidonate, and sphingosine--and levels of one of these, DAG, frequently correlate with O2- production. In this author's view, the available data implicate DAG and protein kinase C as key factors in the regulation of the respiratory burst. Herein, the array of activating agonists, the generation and function of some lipid-derived mediators, and evidence pertaining to the participation of protein kinase C are reviewed.

Abstract
When human neutrophilic granulocytes are stimulated with chemoattractants or phorbol esters, these cells respond with a so-called respiratory burst: such stimuli induce the activation of a NADPH:O2 oxidoreductase, which converts oxygen into superoxide. This activation coincides with the phosphorylation of a number of proteins, amongst which a 47-kDa phosphoprotein. Neutrophils from patients with the autosomal form of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) fail to mount a respiratory burst and concomitantly lack phosphorylation of the 47-kDa protein. We have shown this protein to be a substrate for protein kinase C. In the present paper we describe the phosphorylation of the 47-kDa phosphoprotein by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. For these studies, we used neutrophil cytoplasts, i.e., neutrophils devoid of nucleus and granules, but with an intact NADPH:O2 oxidoreductase. Addition of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt2cAMP) to intact human neutrophil cytoplasts resulted in an increase in protein phosphorylation. Among the phosphorylated proteins is a 47-kDa phosphoprotein. Increased protein phosphorylation was also observed upon addition of Bt2cAMP to neutrophil cytoplast lysates. In lysates of neutrophil cytoplasts from patients with the autosomal form of CGD, phosphorylation of the 47-kDa protein was absent. This finding (confirmed by analysis on two-dimensional gels) indicates that the 47-kDa phosphoprotein, relevant for the NADPH:O2 oxidoreductase, is a substrate for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Unlike phorbol ester-induced phosphorylation, Bt2cAMP-induced phosphorylation is not accompanied by initiation of a respiratory burst. This observation demonstrates that 47-kDa phosphoprotein phosphorylation can be uncoupled from respiratory burst activity and indicates that other modifications of the NADPH:O2 oxidoreductase are required for induction of activity.

Abstract
We have found a phospholipase D activity in the postnuclear fraction of human neutrophils which is stimulated by incubation of cells with the calcium ionophore A23187. The phospholipase D activity was assessed by both phosphatidate formation and free inositol release from phosphatidylinositol substrate. The phospholipase D activity shows an optimum pH of 7.5 and hydrolyzes specifically phosphatidylinositol. These results suggest that this phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D can play a role in cell activating process.

Abstract
Activation of protein kinase C in erythrocytes by 4-beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) resulted in a parallel stimulation (time course and dose response) of the phosphorylation of both membrane proteins (heterodimers of 107 kDa and 97 kDa, protein 4.1 and 4.9, respectively) and of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) and, to a lesser extent, of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Evidence that the effect on lipid was mediated by protein kinase C activation and not by a direct action of PMA was provided by (1) the lack of effect of a phorbol ester that did not activate protein kinase C or of PMA addition on isolated membranes from control erythrocytes, (2) the reversal of the effect in the presence of protein kinase C inhibitors (alpha-cobrotoxin, H-7 (1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine) or trifluoperazine). PMA treatment did not change the specific activity of ATP or the content of PIP2, but increased the content of PIP and decreased that of PI, indicating that the phosphorylation or dephosphorylation reactions linking PI and PIP were the target for the action of PMA. PMA treatment had no effect on the Ca2+-dependent PIP/PIP2 phospholipase C activity measured in isolated membranes. Mezerein, another protein kinase activator, had similar effects on both protein and lipid phosphorylation, when added with alpha-cobrotoxin. Activation of protein kinase A by cAMP also produced increases in phosphorylation, although quantitatively different from those induced by protein kinase C, in proteins and PIP. Simultaneous addition of PMA and cAMP at maximal doses resulted in only a partially additive effect on PIP labelling. These results show that inositol lipid turnover can be modulated by a protein kinase C and protein kinase A-dependent process involving the phosphorylation of a common protein. This could be PI kinase or PIP phosphatase or another protein regulating the activity of these enzymes.

Abstract
1. Propranolol has been reported to be beneficial in treating patients suffering from a variety of diseases including migraine, psychosis and schizophrenia. The mode of action of propranolol in the treatment of the above diseases is not clear. 2. An investigation into the possible effect of propranolol on receptor activated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis was carried out using human neutrophils. Receptor activated inositol phosphate production by formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine has also been studied. 3. DL-propranolol caused a time and concentration dependent increase in inositol phosphate generation which was similar to that obtained for chemotactic peptide in neutrophils. The EC50 for propranolol was 2 microM compared to 0.5 microM for chemotactic peptide. 4. These results indicate the possibility that propranolol has a direct action on inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in addition to its beta-blocking effect.

Abstract
Binding of chemoattractants to specific cell surface receptors on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) initiates a series of biochemical responses leading to cellular activation. A critical early biochemical event in chemoattractant (CTX) receptor-mediated signal transduction is the phosphodiesteric cleavage of plasma membrane phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), with concomitant production of the calcium mobilizing inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) isomer, and the protein kinase C activator, 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG). The following lines of experimental evidence collectively suggest that CTX receptors are coupled to phospholipase C via a guanine nucleotide binding (G) protein. Receptor-mediated hydrolysis of PIP2 in PMN plasma membrane preparations requires both fMet-Leu-Phe and GTP, and incubation of intact PMNs with pertussis toxin (which ADP ribosylates and inactivates some G proteins) eliminates the ability of fMet-Leu-Phe plus GTP to promote PIP2 breakdown in isolated plasma membranes. Studies with both PMN particulate fractions and with partially purified fMet-Leu-Phe receptor preparations indicate that guanine nucleotides regulate CTX receptor affinity. Finally, fMet-Leu-Phe stimulates high-affinity binding of GTP gamma S to PMN membranes as well as GTPase activity. A G alpha subunit has been identified in phagocyte membranes which is different from other G alpha subunits on the basis of molecular weight and differential sensitivity to ribosylation by bacterial toxins. Thus, a novel G protein may be involved in coupling CTX receptors to phospholipase C. Studies in intact and sonicated PMNs demonstrate that metabolism of 1,4,5-IP3 proceeds via two distinct pathways: 1) sequential dephosphorylation to 1,4-IP2, 4-IP1 and inositol, or 2) ATP-dependent conversion to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP4) followed by sequential dephosphorylation to 1,3,4-IP3, 3,4-IP2, 3-IP1 and inositol. Receptor-mediated hydrolysis of PIP2 occurs at ambient intracellular Ca2+ levels; but metabolism of 1,4,5-IP3 via the IP4 pathway requires elevated cytosolic Ca2+ levels associated with cellular activation. Thus, the two pathways for 1,4,5-IP3 metabolism may serve different metabolic functions. Additionally, inositol phosphate production appears to be controlled by protein kinase C, as phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) abrogates PIP2 hydrolysis by interfering with the ability of the activated G protein to stimulate phospholipase C. This implies a physiologic mechanism for terminating biologic responses via protein kinase C mediated feedback inhibition of PIP2 hydrolysis.

Abstract
Human neutrophils stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate were able to damage human erythroleukemic K562 cells, in the absence of specific antibody, as assessed by a two hour 51Cr release assay. Neutrophils treated with formyl-peptide fMet-Leu-Phe did not display tumoricidal response, but the addition of diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor R59022 together with formyl-peptide induced the cytotoxic capacity against tumor target cells. Phorbol ester is a potent activator of certain functions of neutrophils because of its ability to directly and irreversibly stimulate protein kinase C; formyl-peptide, on the contrary, activates protein kinase C by inducing a rapid and transient production of diacylglycerol, that is quickly metabolized. The addition of an inhibitor of diacylglycerol kinase, R59022, however potentiated the action of formyl-peptide. These results indicate that protein kinase C is involved in the tumoricidal activity of neutrophils against K562 cells, and that maximal activation of the enzyme is required to achieve the cytotoxic response.

Abstract
The addition of low concentrations of the chemotactic factor fMet-Leu-Phe to rabbit neutrophils in the absence of cytochalasin B produces very little superoxide. This level of superoxide can be greatly increased in neutrophils pretreated for 30 min with 10 microM of the diacyl-glycerol kinase inhibitor R59022. This potentiation occurs also in the presence of cytochalasin B. In addition, while the small level of superoxide generated by fMet-Leu-Phe is not inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl)-2-methyl piperazine (H-7), the increase by R59022 is completely abolished by this compound. In addition, this increase can be potentiated further by leupeptin. Unlike superoxide generation, the release of lysozyme or N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase produced by fMet-Leu-Phe is not stimulated by R59022. The results presented here suggest that stimulation of the oxidative burst requires the generation and the maintenance of a sufficient amount of diacylglycerol and/or the rearrangement of the cytoskeleton such as the inhibition of actin polymerization. Furthermore, the membrane-associated form of protein kinase C is the one responsible for the activation of the oxidative burst. The relationship between protein kinase C activation and the stimulated oxidative burst and the physiological role of chemotactic factors in the functions of the neutrophils are discussed.

Abstract
The effect of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine on neutrophil superoxide release stimulated by the chemotactic tripeptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) was examined. Both drugs caused time and dose dependent inhibition of superoxide release but had no effect on equilibrium binding of [3H]FMLP to its receptor. Preliminary experiments suggest that these drugs may exert their inhibitory effect on superoxide release by inhibiting the FMLP stimulated hydrolysis of phosphoinositides.
