Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) has been recognized to activate NADPH oxidase (PHOX). However, the interaction between PKC and PHOX in vivo remains elusive. Treatment with methamphetamine (MA) resulted in a selective increase in PKCδ expression out of PKC isoforms. PKCδ co-immunoprecipitated with p47phox, and facilitated phosphorylation and membrane translocation of p47phox. MA-induced increases in PHOX activity and reactive oxygen species were attenuated by knockout of p47phox or PKCδ. In addition, MA-induced impairments in the Nrf-2-related glutathione synthetic system were also mitigated by knockout of p47phox or PKCδ. Glutathione-immunoreactivity was co-localized in Iba-1-labeled microglial cells and in NeuN-labeled neurons, but not in GFAP-labeled astrocytes, reflecting the necessity for self-protection against oxidative stress by mainly microglia. Buthionine-sulfoximine, an inhibitor of glutathione biosynthesis, potentiated microglial activation and pro-apoptotic changes, leading to dopaminergic losses. These neurotoxic processes were attenuated by rottlerin, a pharmacological inhibitor of PKCδ, genetic inhibitions of PKCδ [i.e., PKCδ knockout mice (KO) and PKCδ antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)], or genetic inhibition of p47phox (i.e., p47phox KO or p47phox ASO). Rottlerin did not exhibit any additive effects against the protective activity offered by genetic inhibition of p47phox. Therefore, we suggest that PKCδ is a critical regulator for p47phox activation induced by MA, and that Nrf-2-dependent GSH induction via inhibition of PKCδ or p47phox, is important for dopaminergic protection against MA insult.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia associated with diabetes mellitus results in the priming of neutrophils leading to oxidative stress that is, in part, responsible for diabetic complications. p47phox, a NADPH oxidase cytosolic subunit, is a key protein in the assembly of the NADPH oxidase leading to superoxide generation. Little is known about the priming mechanism of oxidative pathways in neutrophils of people with diabetes. In this study, the kinetics of p47phox activation was investigated by comparing neutrophils from diabetic and healthy subjects, and the mechanism of hyperglycemia-induced changes was studied by using neutrophil-like HL-60 cells as a model. In resting neutrophils from diabetic subjects, p47phox prematurely translocates to the cell membrane and preassembles with p22phox, a NADPH oxidase membrane subunit. This premature p47phox translocation and preassembly with p22phox were also observed in HL-60 cells cultured with high glucose (HG; 25 mM) and with the specific ligand for the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), S100B. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2, but not p38 MAPK, was the primary signaling pathway, as evidenced by PD98059 suppressing the translocation of p47phox in HL-60 cells incubated with HG and S100B. HL-60 cells cultured in HG and S100B exhibited a 1.8-fold increase in fMLP-induced superoxide generation compared with those cultured in normal glucose (5.5 mM). These data suggest that HG and increased AGE prime neutrophils and increase oxidative stress inducing the translocation of p47phox to the cell membrane and preassembly with p22phox by stimulating a RAGE-ERK1/2 pathway.

Abstract
Generation of superoxide by professional phagocytes is an important mechanism of host defense against bacterial infection. Several protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms have been found to phosphorylate p47(phox), resulting in its membrane translocation and activation of the NADPH oxidase. However, the mechanism by which specific PKC isoforms regulate NADPH oxidase activation remains to be elucidated. In this study, we report that PKCdelta phosphorylation in its activation loop is rapidly induced by fMLF and is essential for its ability to catalyze p47(phox) phosphorylation. Using transfected COS-7 cells expressing gp91(phox), p22(phox), p67(phox), and p47(phox) (COS-phox cells), we found that a functionally active PKCdelta is required for p47(phox) phosphorylation and reconstitution of NADPH oxidase. PKCbetaII cannot replace PKCdelta for this function. Characterization of PKCdelta/PKCbetaII chimeras has led to the identification of the catalytic domain of PKCdelta as a target of regulation by fMLF, which induces a biphasic (30 and 180 s) phosphorylation of Thr(505) in the activation loop of mouse PKCdelta. Mutation of Thr(505) to alanine abolishes the ability of PKCdelta to catalyze p47(phox) phosphorylation in vitro and to reconstitute NADPH oxidase in the transfected COS-phox cells. A correlation between fMLF-induced activation loop phosphorylation and superoxide production is also established in the differentiated PLB-985 human myelomonoblastic cells. We conclude that agonist-induced PKCdelta phosphorylation is a novel mechanism for NADPH oxidase activation. The ability to induce PKCdelta phosphorylation may distinguish a full agonist from a partial agonist for superoxide production.

Abstract
Our laboratory is interested in understanding the regulation of NADPH oxidase activity in human monocyte/macrophages. Protein kinase C (PKC) is reported to be involved in regulating the phosphorylation of NADPH oxidase components in human neutrophils; however, the regulatory roles of specific isoforms of PKC in phosphorylating particular oxidase components have not been determined. In this study calphostin C, an inhibitor for both novel PKC (including PKCdelta, -epsilon, -theta;, and -eta) and conventional PKC (including PKCalpha and -beta), inhibited both phosphorylation and translocation of p47phox, an essential component of the monocyte NADPH oxidase. In contrast, GF109203X, a selective inhibitor of classical PKC and PKCepsilon, did not affect the phosphorylation or translocation of p47phox, suggesting that PKCdelta, -theta;, or -eta is required. Furthermore, rottlerin (at doses that inhibit PKCdelta activity) inhibited the phosphorylation and translocation of p47phox. Rottlerin also inhibited O2 production at similar doses. In addition to pharmacological inhibitors, PKCdelta-specific antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides were used. PKCdelta antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides inhibited the phosphorylation and translocation of p47phox in activated human monocytes. We also show, using the recombinant p47phox-GST fusion protein, that p47phox can serve as a substrate for PKCdelta in vitro. Furthermore, lysate-derived PKCdelta from activated monocytes phosphorylated p47phox in a rottlerin-sensitive manner. Together, these data suggest that PKCdelta plays a pivotal role in stimulating monocyte NADPH oxidase activity through its regulation of the phosphorylation and translocation of p47phox.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) metabolizes diacylglycerol (DAG), an endogenous activator of protein kinase C, to phosphatidic acid. We have previously reported increased DAG in neutrophils from patients with localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP) associated with reduced DGK activity. This reduction could be related to a mutation, post-translational modification, differential expression, or lack of expression of a particular isoform(s). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the mRNAs for DGK isoforms in normal and LAP neutrophils. METHODS The alpha-, gamma-, and delta-isoforms of DGK were identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using specific oligonucleotide primers for each isoform. The PCR products were isolated and sequenced for comparison to published sequences to confirm the validity of the PCR reaction. Total RNA was isolated from LAP and normal neutrophils, and northern blotting and semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to examine the level of mRNA for each isoform. RESULTS No major differences were found in the isoform pattern between resting normal and LAP neutrophils. However, the levels of mRNA for the alpha- and gamma-isoforms of DGK were increased in normal neutrophils while slightly decreased in LAP cells upon stimulation with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). CONCLUSION These data suggest that alterations in the mRNAs for the various isoforms of DGK during cell stimulation and the involvement of DGK that is expressed in multiple forms are subject to a variety of regulatory/control mechanisms and these mechanisms may explain the role of the 'primed' neutrophil phenotype associated with LAP.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation in neutrophils was monitored with two phosphospecific antibodies (pAbs) [termed pPKC(S1) Ab and pPKC(S2) Ab] that recognize products of protein kinase C (PKC) and other Arg/Lys-directed Ser/Thr protein kinases. The pPKC(S1) Ab bound preferentially to p-Ser/p-Thr residues with Arg or Lys in the -3 and -5 positions or the -2 and -3 positions, whereas the pPKC(S2) Ab bound preferentially to p-Ser with Arg or Lys in the -2 and +2 positions and with a hydrophobic residue at the +1 position. Phosphorylated pleckstrin, myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS), the 47-kDa subunit of the phagocyte oxidase (p47-phox) and numerous unidentified proteins that underwent phosphorylation during neutrophil stimulation were readily detected with these pAbs. Priming effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and the susceptibility of certain reactions in neutrophils to inhibitors of protein kinases could also be easily investigated with these reagents. Compared to the commonly used 32P-labeling/autoradiographic method, Western blotting with pAbs was found to be a faster, safer, more specific and in many cases more sensitive approach for monitoring protein phosphorylation events in neutrophils. These pAbs may facilitate the identification of several new phosphorylation reactions involved in neutrophil stimulation.

Abstract
Phagocytic cells play a key role in the fish immune system. They secrete reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved in their bactericidal activity. These cells are highly sensitive to pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other organic pollutants. We have investigated the intracellular mechanisms by which 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) increased bactericidal activity of carp phagocytes. Macrophages isolated from head kidney (pronephros) and incubated 1 h with 3-MC enhanced their production of ROS when they were stimulated 1.25 h with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a direct activator of protein kinase C (PKC). 3-MC also produced a rapid and a sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i) (2 h minimum). However, the cytochrome P450 1A and Ah receptor inhibitor, alpha-naphtoflavone (alpha-NF), inhibited the potentiation of PMA-induced ROS production, suggesting 3-MC metabolic activation. Moreover, alpha-NF increased [Ca(2+)](i) without macrophage ROS production, suggesting that some mechanism other than calcium release is playing a role in the stimulation of the macrophages by 3-MC. The rise in [Ca(2+)](i) induced by 3-MC was potentiated by the inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPases, thapsigargin. And treating the cells with 3-MC decreased the calcium mobilization caused by thapsigargin. These results suggest that 3-MC acts on the endoplasmic reticulum, perhaps directly on calcium ATPases, to increase intracellular calcium levels in carp phagocytes.

Abstract
Leishmania donovani, an intracellular protozoan parasite, challenges host defense mechanisms by impairing the signal transduction of macrophages. In this study we investigated whether interleukin-10 (IL-10)-mediated alteration of signaling events in a murine model of visceral leishmaniasis is associated with macrophage deactivation. Primary in vitro cultures of macrophages infected with leishmanial parasites markedly elevated the endogenous release of IL-10. Treatment with either L. donovani or recombinant IL-10 (rIL-10) inhibited both the activity and expression of the Ca2+-dependent protein kinase C (PKC) isoform. However, preincubation with neutralizing anti-IL-10 monoclonal antibody (MAb) restored the PKC activity in the parasitized macrophage. Furthermore, we observed that coincubation of macrophages with rIL-10 and L. donovani increased the intracellular parasite burden, which was abrogated by anti-IL-10 MAb. Consistent with these observations, generation of superoxide (O2-) and nitric oxide and the release of murine tumor necrosis factor-alpha were attenuated in response to L. donovani or rIL-10 treatment. On the other hand, preincubation of the infected macrophages with neutralizing anti-IL-10 MAb significantly blocked the inhibition of nitric oxide and murine tumor necrosis factor-alpha release by the infected macrophages. These findings imply that infection with L. donovani induces endogenous secretion of murine IL-10, which in turn facilitates the intracellular survival of the protozoan and orchestrates several immunomodulatory roles via selective impairment of PKC-mediated signal transduction.

Abstract
Human neutrophils participate in the host innate immune response, partly mediated by the multicomponent superoxide-generating enzyme NADPH oxidase. A correlation between phosphorylation of cytosolic NADPH oxidase components and enzyme activation has been identified but is not well understood. We previously showed that p22(phox), the small subunit of the membrane-bound oxidase component flavocytochrome b(558), is an in vitro substrate for both a phosphatidic acid-activated kinase and conventional protein kinase C isoforms (Regier, D. S., Waite, K. A., Wallin, R., and McPhail, L. C. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 36601-36608). Here we show that several neutrophil agonists (phorbol myristate acetate, opsonized zymosan, and N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine) induce p22(phox) phosphorylation in intact neutrophils. To determine if phospholipase D (PLD) is needed for p22(phox) phosphorylation, cells were pretreated with ethanol, which reduces phosphatidic acid production by PLD in stimulated cells. Phorbol myristate acetate-induced phosphorylation of p22(phox) and NADPH oxidase activity were not reduced by ethanol. In contrast, ethanol reduced both activities when cells were stimulated by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine or opsonized zymosan. Varying the time of stimulation with opsonized zymosan showed that the phosphorylation of p22(phox) coincides with NADPH oxidase activation. GF109203X, an inhibitor of protein kinase C and the phosphatidic acid-activated protein kinase, decreased both p22(phox) phosphorylation and NADPH oxidase activity in parallel in opsonized zymosan-stimulated cells. Stimulus-induced phosphorylation of p22(phox) was on Thr residue(s), in agreement with in vitro results. Overall, these data show that NADPH oxidase activity and p22(phox) phosphorylation are correlated and suggest two mechanisms (PLD-dependent and -independent) by which p22(phox) phosphorylation occurs.

Abstract
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes are known to play an important role in hypoxia/ischemia and reoxygenation injury. The present study was undertaken to investigate the involvement of protein kinase C, calmodulin, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the augmentation of the free-radical generation observed after hypoxia-reoxygenation (H-R). Free-radical generation from the rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes was measured as the arachidonic acid (1-5x10(-5) M)-induced luminol-dependent chemiluminescence response, which was augmented following H-R. The increase in free-radical generation after H-R was completely blocked by the pretreatment of cells with PKC inhibitor H(7), whereas indomethacin (a cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor) or forskolin (an adenylate cyclase activator) failed to modulate the H-R-dependent response. However, W(7)-a calcium/calmodulin (Ca(2+)/CaM) antagonist-partially reduced the augmented free-radical generation observed in the H-R cells. Results obtained thus suggest the possible involvement of protein kinase C and calcium in the augmentation of the free-radical generation response following H-R.

Abstract
Monocytes, separated from human peripheral blood, were preincubated with different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for 24 h and the production of superoxide ions (O*2-) was then measured using as a stimulating agent phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. A significantly enhanced O*2- production is only observed when the cells are treated with benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P); benzo[e]pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene and 3-methylcholanthrene induce a small but not significant increase of O*2-. Anthracene has no effect, while phenanthrene slightly inhibits. The priming activity of B[a]P is unrelated to variations in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), as demonstrated by the inability of B[a]P to increase [Ca2+]i concentration in both monocytes and the promonocytic cell line U937. Furthermore, in monocytes the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase inhibitor, thapsigargin, which can increase [Ca2+]i evokes a differentiation-like event associated with a decrease in the production of superoxide ions. These results further support that the enhancing activity of B[a]P on monocytes superoxide production is not mediated by an increase of [Ca2+]i. In contrast, the role of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in B[a]P-induced superoxide ion enhancement is suggested by the inhibitory effect of the specific antagonist alpha-naphthoflavone (alphaNF), while the tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) is not involved in the phenomenon. Thus, the interaction of B[a]P with its cytosolic receptor and either the metabolism of the compound into reactive intermediates or the over-expression of some unknown genes seem to be involved in an essential step in this process.

Abstract
Abstract
Promyelocytic human leukemia HL60 cells can be differentiated into neutrophil-like cells that exhibit an NADPH oxidase activity through direct stimulation of protein kinase C (PKC) with PMA or through formyl peptide receptor activation. We have isolated a variant HL60 clone that exhibited a conditional PMA-induced oxidative response depending on the agent used for the differentiation. While cells differentiated with DMSO responded to either PMA or N-formyl peptide (N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-Lys or fMLFK), cells differentiated with dibutyryl-cAMP (Bt2cAMP) responded to fMLFK but very poorly to PMA. However, in Bt2cAMP-differentiated cells, the expression of the different PKC isoforms was similar to that observed in DMSO-differentiated cells. Moreover, PMA was able to induce a normal phosphorylation of the cytosolic factor p47phox and to fully activate extracellular signal-regulated kinases (Erk1/2). Interestingly, Bt2cAMP-differentiated cells exhibited a strong and sustained O2− production when costimulated with PMA and suboptimal concentrations of fMLFK which were, per se, ineffective. This sustained response was only slightly reduced by the conjunction of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD98059 and wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) inhibitor. Variant HL60 cells that were stably transfected with a constitutively active form of Rac1 were able, when differentiated with Bt2cAMP, to secrete oxidant following PMA stimulation. Altogether, the results suggest that, in addition to the phosphorylation of p47phox, the activation of NADPH oxidase requires the activation of a Rac protein through a pathway that diverges at a point upstream of MEK and that is independent of the activation of wortmannin sensitive PI3K.

Abstract
A potent tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, pervanadate, induced (i) translocation of the cytosolic NADPH oxidase factors, p47-phox and p67-phox, to the plasma membrane; and (ii) O2- production in human neutrophils. However, the translocation of p47-phox and p67-phox was inhibited by H-7, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor without markedly affecting O2- production in whole neutrophils. Results from the plasma membrane fraction showed that NADPH oxidase activity in neutrophils treated with pervanadate did not vary in the presence or absence of H-7, despite a lower content of p47-phox and p67-phox in H-7-treated neutrophils. These findings suggest that in addition to the well-known PKC-dependent pathway, there may exist another PKC-independent pathway to activate NADPH oxidase in human neutrophils. This pathway involves protein tyrosine phosphorylation but does not seem to necessitate translocation of p47-phox and p67-phox to the plasma membrane.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Alfa-tocopherol (VE) inhibits protein phosphorylation and affects protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent superoxide (O2) generation of phagocytic cells. Because umbilical-cord blood contains low concentrations of VE, we studied the effects of VE on stimulation-dependent O2 generation of neutrophils derived from the healthy human peripheral circulation (HPMNs) and the umbilical cord (UCBNs). METHODS O2- generation and VE content were assayed by reduction of ferricytochrome c and by HPLC with an electrochemical detector, respectively. Neutrophil-specific annexin protein was identified by an immunological method. RESULTS Both types of neutrophils generate significant amounts of PKC-dependent O2-generation, but weak PKC-independent O2-generation, except for opsonized zymosan-stimulated O2- generation in UCBNs. The VE content of UCBNs was similar to that of HPMNs although umbilical-cord blood contains a low concentration of VE. A neutrophil-specific annexin protein was also found in the UCBNs. CONCLUSION UCBNs have a greater ability to incorporate VE than HPMNs do, but have similar general characteristics of stimulation-dependent O2-generation to those of HPMNs.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA) has been implicated as an important amphiphilic co-factor in the activation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase in neutrophils and reconstituted cell-free systems. To assess the role of AA in the activation of O2- generation in monocytic cells, we studied pre-monocytic U937 cells differentiated with 1,25-(OH)2-vitamin D3 plus interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). AA dose-dependently enhanced phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated O2- generation, with a maximum increase of 4,5-fold, through: (1) a more than 50% reduction of the lag-phase, defined as the time between addition of PMA and detection of O2-; and (2) a more than 60% increase in the constant rate of O2- generation. Reduction of the lag phase was associated with increased protein kinase C (PKC)-independent translocation of the cytosolic subunit of NADPH oxidase p47-phox to the cell membrane, whereas increased generation of O2- correlated with enhanced activation of PKC. The data indicate that AA increases activation of NADPH oxidase by accelerating its assembly and by co-stimulating PKC in monocytic U937 cells.

Abstract
Neutrophils stimulated with the chemotactic peptide fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP) are known to exhibit a rapid and transient activation of a histone H4 kinase that may function in a stimulatory pathway downstream of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. The activity of this histone kinase in unstimulated neutrophils and cells treated with 1.0 microM fMLP for 10 sec was 8.8 +/- 5 and 43 +/- 2 pmol P/min per 10(7) cells, respectively. In this paper, we report that unstimulated neutrophils contain a latent H4 kinase in the 100,000 x g soluble fraction that can be markedly activated by treatment with trypsin. The values for the untreated and trypsin treated enzyme were 5.5 +/- 1.0 and 63.6 +/- 18 pmol P/min per 10(7) cell-equivalents, respectively. This kinase was insensitive to a selective antagonist of protein kinase C (i.e., 50 microM 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7)) but completely blocked by 100 nM staurosporine. Only a single peak of activity was observed for this enzyme when the 100,000 x g supernatant fraction was fractionated on either an exclusion (KW-803) or an anion exchange column (DEAE), or during isoelectric focusing. The molecular weight of the latent kinase was 64 +/- 6 kDa and the isoelectric point was 7.6 +/- 0.1. During all fractionation procedures, the H4 kinase co-chromatographed with a trypsin-activated kinase that catalyzed the phosphorylation of a peptide which corresponds to residues 297-331 of the 47 kDa subunit of the NADPH-oxidase complex (p47-phox). The properties of the trypsin-activated H4 kinase from unstimulated neutrophils are very similar to those reported for this enzyme from fMLP-stimulated cells.

Abstract
Effects of various derivatives of alpha-tocopherol (VE) and coenzyme Q (CoQ) on superoxide (O2.-) generation of neutrophils and protein kinase C (PKC) activity were examined. VE and CoQ8 inhibited O2.- generation of neutrophils stimulated by a protein kinase C mediated process monitored by cytochrome c reduction and spin trapping methods. The inhibitory action was observed not only with alpha-tocopherol, but also with beta-, gamma-, delta-tocopherols and with tocol which is a chemical similar to VE but lacking methyl groups on the chromanol ring structure and which is not a radical scavenger. By contrast, no inhibition was observed with 2-carboxy-2, 5, 7, 8-tetramethyl-6-chromanol (CTMC, trolox) or 2, 2, 5, 7, 8,-pentamethyl-6-chromanol (PMC) which are water soluble VE derivatives having radical scavenging activity. Compounds having a similar isoprenoid chain, such as CoQ, also have inhibitory activity on PKC-dependent O2.- generation of neutrophils. The inhibitory activity of CoQ derivatives is dependent on the length of the unsaturated isoprenoid chain. CoQ derivatives having 16, 24 and 32 carbon isoprenoid chains corresponding to CoQ4, 6, and 8 inhibited O2.- generation but 4 and 40 carbon isoprenoid chains corresponding to CoQ2 and 10 had no inhibitory activity on O2.- generation. Alpha-tocopherol and CoQ inhibited PKC activity but the ID50 for O2.- generation and PKC activity was different for each compound. However, no direct relationship between VE content and O2.- generation of neutrophils was observed. These results suggest that isoprenoids of VE and CoQ participate in the inhibition of the NADPH oxidase activation system through modulation of the neutrophil membrane probably by the inhibition of PKC.

Abstract
Several novel protein kinases are known to be rapidly activated in neutrophils stimulated with the chemoattractant fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP). These kinases include a histone H4 protein kinase and several renaturable kinases with molecular masses of about 69, 63, 49, and 40 kDa. The renaturable kinases can catalyze the phosphorylation of a peptide that corresponds to residues 297-331 of the 47-kDa subunit of the NADPH-oxidase system (p47-phox). Previous studies have indicated that the activation of all of these protein kinases involves an uncharacterized stimulatory pathway and/or novel second messenger. The studies reported herein were undertaken to determine if phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) is a component of this pathway. We report that certain chromosome derivatives (e.g. 2-(4-morpholinyl)-8-phenylchromone (LY294002)) and wortmannin, which inhibit PI3-K by distinct mechanisms, blocked activation of all of these novel kinases. These antagonists also inhibited the phosphorylation of p47-phox (about 50%) and O2.- release (about 80%) in cells stimulated with fMLP, but not with 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. A strong correlation exists between the amounts of these antagonists required to produce 50% inhibition of PI3-K in vitro and O2.- release in vivo. In contrast, a single atom substitution of LY294002 produced a compound (LY303511) that did not inhibit PI3-K. Compound LY303511 did not appreciably inhibit the activation of the novel protein kinases or O2.- generation. These data strongly suggest that PI3-K is involved in the activation of several novel protein kinases in neutrophils, one or more of which may be involved in O2.- release.

Abstract
Alpha-tocopherol but not 2-carboxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-6-chromanol (trolox or CTMC) and 2,2,5,7,8 pentamethyl-6-hydroxy chromane (PMC), derivatives of alpha-tocopherol, inhibited the superoxide (O2-.) generation of rat peritoneal neutrophils (RPMN) induced by phorbol 12-myrisate 13-acetate (PMA). ID50 for neutrophils obtained from the peritoneal cavity of rat and guinea pig was about 1microM. This concentration, however, was much lower than that for the inhibition of PMA-activated phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKC) (ID50 = 30 microM). The alpha-tocopherol sensitive O2-. generation was also observed in neutrophils induced by dioctanoylglycerol (diC8) and calcium ionophore A23187 but not by formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), opsonized zymosan (OZ) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The pattern of inhibition by alpha-tocopherol was quite similar to that of staurosporine, a specific inhibitor of PKC. The alpha-tocopherol content of RPMN was 12 ng/10(6) cells and a linear increase to 200 ng/10(6) cells by addition of alpha-tocopherol to the cell suspension corresponded with an increased inhibition of O2-. generation. These results indicate that both the chemical structure and the content of alpha-tocopherol might be important factors in O2-. generation by neutrophils.

Abstract
Farnesylcysteine derivatives can initiate or inhibit superoxide (O2-) release in neutrophils. The mechanism by which one of these derivatives, farnesyl thiotriazole (FTT), initiates O2- release in neutrophils is the subject of this paper. Treatment of guinea pig neutrophils with FTT results in the rapid release of O2- by a route shown to be independent of the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) receptor. The signal transduction pathway utilized by the chemoattractant fMLP is generally accepted as the paradigm for receptor-mediated stimulation of O2- production. Antagonists of fMLP had no effect on FTT-induced O2- release, and pretreatment of neutrophils with fMLP had no effect on the ability of FTT to trigger further O2- generation. In fact, FTT behaves like a typical protein kinase C (PKC) activator. It promotes phosphorylation of the 47-kDa subunit of the NADH oxidase complex (p47-phox) in neutrophils, and this phosphorylation is specifically blocked by 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7), an antagonist of PKC. FTT is also shown to activate PKC in vitro in a specific and saturable fashion. FTT is approximately equipotent with (S)-diolein, a physiologically relevant activator of this kinase. FTT represents a new, and quite novel, structure for a PKC activator. PKC activators include diglycerides and the structurally diverse tumor promoters.

Abstract
The NADPH oxidase complex catalyzes the formation of superoxide (O2.-) in phagocytic leukocytes. This paper reviews recent advances in our understanding of this enzyme system. Recent studies have defined conditions for reconstitution of this enzymatic activity with purified proteins in a cell-free system. The role of the individual proteins that make up the active complex, their regulation and the effects of mutations in these proteins are discussed. While these studies represent major achievements, it is clear from cytochemical investigations that additional levels of complexity exist in the modulation of the NADPH oxidase complex in vivo. A major role for cytochemical analysis in understanding the cell biological aspects of the generation of reactive oxygen species is discussed.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors, staurosporine or 1,5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H7), inhibited NADPH oxidase activity and phosphorylation of 47 kDa protein (p47) in PMA-stimulated neutrophils in a dose-dependent manner. These PKC inhibitors, at the same doses, did not affect oxidase activity and caused only partial inhibition of p47 phosphorylation in OZ-stimulated neutrophils. There was residual (20%) phosphorylated p47 in the membranes of OZ-stimulated cells in the presence of PKC inhibitors, at concentrations which caused total inhibition of oxidase activity and p47 phosphorylation in PMA-stimulated neutrophils. In the presence of ionomycin, which increased intracellular calcium ion concentrations, staurosporine was less effective in inhibiting both superoxide generation and p47 phosphorylation stimulated by PMA, similar to its effect in OZ-stimulated cells. The results indicate that some phosphorylation of p47 always accompanied oxidase activation induced by PMA or OZ, though the degree of phosphorylation of membrane-bound p47 does not directly correlate with rates of superoxide production.

Abstract
Without the addition of any exogenous stimuli, neutrophils generated O2- and then ceased in a reversible manner that correlated with cellular swelling and contraction. The nature of the possible mechanism responsible for this O2- generation was studied and compared with that observed in the triggering of stimulant-dependent O2- generation (respiratory burst). The swelling-induced O2- generation was inhibited by diphenyliodonium, and was independent of the functional distortion of mitochondrial and/or microsomal electron transport and xanthine oxidase. This suggested that such generation was involved in respiratory-burst oxidase activation; however, this generation was not accompanied by any new phosphorylation of the 47-kDa protein or of tyrosine proteins. Dihydrocytochalasin B potentiated the O2- generation. The cellular swelling produced a priming effect on the triggering of respiratory burst with different stimuli. Cellular contraction, conversely, suppressed the respiratory burst. The structural specificity of the swelling-induced plasma membrane modulation for the O2- generation was suggested by the finding that modulation of plasma membrane structures by various non-ionic detergents per se inhibited O2- generation. Lipophilic and positively-charged agents inhibited the generation and this inhibition was abrogated by negatively-charged, but not by non-ionic agents. Negatively-charged agents potentiated the O2- generation. These results suggest that both the interaction of the plasma membrane with the cytoskeleton and an increase in net negative charges at the plasma membrane play important role in evoking O2- generation; this is discussed and compared with the signal transduction reported previously for respiratory burst.

Abstract
Agonist-activated phosphorylation of neutrophil proteins including p47-phox, a cytosolic component of the respiratory burst oxidase, has been implicated in the signal transduction cascade which leads to activation of the superoxide generating respiratory burst. We have previously reported (J. Biol. Chem. 265, 17550-59) that in a cell-free activation system consisting of cytosol plus plasma membrane from human neutrophils, diacylglycerol acts synergistically with an anionic amphiphile such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to augment superoxide generation and assembly of the oxidase, and that p47 phosphorylation can occur under these conditions. Herein, we show that a peptide corresponding to a carboxy terminal sequence of p47-phox is a substrate for phosphorylation both by purified protein kinase C (a mixture of alpha, beta, and gamma forms) and by a distinct kinase or kinases present in neutrophil cytosol. Based on its activator requirements, the neutrophil kinase differs from classical protein kinase C, but may be a protein kinase C variant, based on inhibition by a protein kinase C peptide. Although in the cell-free system phosphorylation occurs under conditions which are similar to those for activation of superoxide generation, phosphorylation is not required for activation (1). Rather, protein assembly or aggregation which occurs under activation conditions may also promote phosphorylation.

Abstract
We reported previously that diacylglycerol (diC8) and GTP gamma S synergize with an anionic amphiphile such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to produce high rates of superoxide generation in a cell-free system consisting of neutrophil plasma membrane plus cytosol [Burnham, D. N., Uhlinger, D. J., & Lambeth, J. D. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 17550-17559]. Here we investigate the effects of these activating factors on the plasma membrane association in an in vitro translated radiolabeled recombinant p47-phox protein. Apparent translocation, assayed by cosedimentation with plasma membranes, required the presence of excess cytosol and an anionic amphiphile, was enhanced by both GTP gamma S and diC8, and was inhibited by high salt, correlating qualitatively with activation; up to 70% cosedimentation was observed with the combination of activators (compared with less than 20% in their absence). Similar results were obtained using heat-inactivated cytosol, wherein another oxidase component, p67-phox, has been inactivated. Unexpectedly, from 50 to 80% of the apparent translocation occurred in the absence of membranes, indicating that protein aggregation accounted for a significant part of the observed translocation. Nevertheless, the percent translocation was increased in all cases by the presence of membranes, indicating some degree of protein-membrane interaction. While a control in vitro translated protein failed to translocate, cosedimentation of p47-phox occurred equally well when red blood cell or neutrophil plasma membranes lacking cytochrome b558 were used. Also, the peptide RGVHFIF, which is contained within the C-terminus of the large subunit of cytochrome b558, failed to inhibit translocation/aggregation of p47-phox, despite its ability to inhibit cell-free activation of the oxidase. The data are consistent with the following: (a) SDS, diC8, and GTP gamma S all act on cytosolic components to alter protein-protein and/or protein-membrane associations, and these changes are necessary (but not sufficient) for activation; (b) these altered associations are likely to function by increasing the local concentration of p47-phox and other components at the plasma membrane; (c) a high background of nonspecific associations in the cell-free activation system is likely to obscure any specific, functionally relevant associations (e.g., with cytochrome b558); and (d) the mechanism of translocation in the cell-free system differs from that seen in intact neutrophils.

Abstract
Neutrophil (PMN) contributions to the acute inflammatory process and host defense include generation of bioreactive oxygen metabolites and secretion of granule enzymes. We assessed equine PMN secretion using several PMN stimuli, singly and in combination with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS avidly associated with equine PMN, as shown by strong PMN labeling with FITC-conjugated LPS. LPS alone (1 or 10 micrograms ml-1) was a weak stimulus for PMN superoxide anion (O2-) generation, but preincubation with LPS followed by phorbol ester (PMA, 10 ng ml-1) significantly augmented (P less than 0.01) secretion of O2- (19.38 nmol O2- per 2 x 10(6) PMN per 5 min) over the amount generated by PMA stimulation alone (13.75 nmol O2-). A qualitatively similar, but smaller O2(-)-generation response occurred when either opsonized zymosan or recombinant human C5a was used as the PMN stimulus. Arachidonic acid (ArA; 50-200 microM) was a potent stimulus, with secreted O2- levels similar to those from PMA-stimulated PMN. Preincubation of PMN with either the formyl peptide, fMLP, or platelet-activating factor before stimulation with ArA did not significantly increase O2- generation over levels obtained using ArA alone. Release of PMN granule enzymes was also quantitated. A small amount of lysozyme secretion resulted when PMN were exposed to LPS alone (8.20% of total cell content), and PMA stimulation caused marked release of PMN lysozyme (44.45%). Non-specific proteolytic activity in PMN supernatants, assessed by cleavage of a collagen-rich substrate, was minimal with LPS as a sole stimulus (5.08%). There was significant proteolytic activity (P less than 0.01) in supernatants from PMA-stimulated PMN (27.21%), and preincubation with LPS followed by PMA stimulation slightly enhanced (P less than 0.05) the release of PMN proteases (34.62%). The activities of beta-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase, and alkaline phosphatase were minimal in PMN supernatants when using LPS and PMA as stimuli. The activity of PMN granule enzymes was found to be sensitive to the presence of normal equine serum, and proteolytic activity was markedly reduced (80.13% reduction) in the presence of 10% pooled serum.

Abstract
Neutrophils exhibit an intense phosphorylation of a 47 kDa protein and release large quantities of superoxide (O2-) upon stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP). Antagonists of protein kinases (e.g., 200 microM 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7); 15 nM staurosporine) inhibited these phenomena when the stimulus was PMA (Badwey, J.A. et al. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 14947-14953). In this paper, we now report that while neutrophils treated with 15 nM staurosporine and PMA release little O2-, cells in the presence of these compounds can be stimulated to release near normal quantities of O2- by the subsequent addition of fMLP. Surprisingly, staurosporine (15 nM) reduced the incorporation of 32P into the 47 kDa protein in fMLP stimulated cells at least as effectively as H-7, yet, while the staurosporine treated cells released substantial amounts of O2-, the cells treated with H-7 did not. These data suggest that a stimulatory pathway exists in neutrophils that contains a protein kinase 'distinct' from that which is activated when PMA is the stimulus and that this pathway may enable the O2- producing system to become functional with little or no phosphorylation of the 47 kDa protein. They further suggest that the steps which are sensitive to H-7 in the signal-transduction pathways utilized by PMA and fMLP may be different.

Abstract
Neutrophils stimulated with 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate release large quantities of superoxide (O2-) and exhibit an intense phosphorylation of two proteins with molecular masses of approx. 47 and 49 kDa. Treatment of unstimulated cells with antagonists of protein kinase C (e.g., staurosporine; 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7)) is known to inhibit both of these phenomena upon stimulation. These antagonists of PKC also cause a rapid cessation of O2- release when added to cells that are already stimulated. In this paper, we report that the addition of staurosporine or H-7 to stimulated neutrophils resulted in a rapid loss of 32P from both the 47 and the 49 kDa phosphoprotein bands, as detected by autoradiography. This suggests that these two proteins may be regulated by a continual cycle of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in the stimulated cell, with the phosphorylation reactions predominating, or undergo a rapid degradation subsequent to phosphorylation. Either explanation is consistent with the view that protein kinase C activity is necessary to both initiate and maintain O2- production in neutrophils stimulated with tumor promoters.

Abstract
Neutrophils and other phagocytic cells of the immune system possess a superoxide-generating oxidase system which is essential for the efficient killing of microbes. The system is activated by a wide variety of stimuli, some of which operate through pathways involving protein kinase C (PKC), while others appear not to. The PKC-dependent pathway is probably the major signal transduction route for most of the stimuli. Alterations in cellular Ca2+ and diglyceride levels can have a pronounced stimulatory effect on this pathway by their ability to synergistically activate PKC. This review discusses PKC, the different interactions of this kinase with the plasmalemma that are important in superoxide production, the synergy between Ca2+ and diglyceride, and the nature of the phosphoproteins involved. Evidence supporting the existence of the PKC-independent pathway is also reviewed.
