Abstract
The phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) stimulated nutrophil respiratory burst has been considered to simply involve the activation of protein kinase C (PKC). However, the PLD activity was also increased by 10-fold in human neutrophils stimulated with 100 nM PMA. Unexpectedly, U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, was found to significantly inhibit PMA-stimulated respiratory burst in human neutrophils. U73122 at the concentrations, which were sufficient to inhibit the respiratory burst completely, caused partial inhibition of the PLD activity but no inhibition on PKC translocation and activation, suggesting that PLD activity is also required in PMA-stimulated respiratory burst. Using 1-butanol, a PLD substrate, to block phosphatidic acid (PA) generation, the PMA-stimulated neutrophil respiratory burst was also partially inhibited, further indicating that PLD activation, possibly its hydrolytic product PA and diacylglycerol (DAG), is involved in PMA-stimulated respiratory burst. Since GF109203X, an inhibitor of PKC that could completely inhibit the respiratory burst in PMA-stimulated neutrophils, also caused certain suppression of PLD activation, it may suggest that PLD activation in PMA-stimulated neutrophils might be, to some extent, PKC dependent. To further study whether PLD contributes to the PMA stimulated respiratory burst through itself or its hydrolytic product, 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol, an analogue of DAG , was used to prime cells at low concentration, and it reversed the inhibition of PMA-stimulated respiratory burst by U73122. The results indicate that U73122 may act as an inhibitor of PLD, and PLD activation is required in PMA-stimulated respiratory burst.

The NADPH oxidase cytosolic component p67phox is constitutively phosphorylated in human neutrophils: Regulation by a protein tyrosine kinase, MEK1/2 and phosphatases 1/2A. Biochem Pharmacol 2011; 82:1145-52.

Abstract
Neutrophils play a key role in host defense and inflammation through the production of superoxide anion and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the enzyme complex NADPH oxidase. The cytosolic NADPH oxidase component, p67phox, has been shown to be phosphorylated in human neutrophils but the pathways involved in this process are largely unknown. In this study, we show that p67phox is constitutively phosphorylated in resting human neutrophils and that neutrophil stimulation with PMA further enhanced this phosphorylation. Inhibition of the constitutively active serine/threonine phosphatases type 1 and type 2A (PP1/2A) by calyculin A resulted in the enhancement of p67phox phosphorylation. Constitutive and calyculin A-induced phosphorylation of p67phox was completely inhibited by the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein and partially inhibited by the MEK1/2 inhibitor PD98059, but was unaffected by GF109203X, wortmannin and SB203580, inhibitors of PKC, PI3K and p38MAP kinase, respectively. Two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping revealed that constitutive and calyculin A-induced p67phox phosphorylation occurred on the same major sites. Interestingly, calyculin A enhanced formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-induced superoxide production, while genistein inhibited this process. Taken together, these results suggest that (i) p67phox undergoes a continual cycle of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation in resting cells; (ii) p67phox phosphorylation is controlled by MEK1/2 and an upstream tyrosine kinase; (iii) PP1/2A directly or indirectly antagonize this process. Thus, these pathways could play a role in regulating ROS production by human neutrophils at inflammatory sites.

Abstract
The primary objective of the current study was to investigate possible relationships between calyculin A (CA)-mediated potentiation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity and inhibition of store-operated uptake of Ca2+ by chemoattractant-activated human neutrophils. Treatment of neutrophils with 100 nM CA, but not at lower concentrations (12.5-50 nM), prior to the addition of the N-formylated chemotactic tripeptide, N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (FMLP) (1 microM), both potentiated and prolonged the activity of NADPH oxidase which was accompanied by exaggerated membrane depolarisation, delayed and attenuated membrane repolarisation, and inhibition of store-operated Ca2+ influx. Inclusion of diphenylene iodonium chloride (DPI, 10 microM), an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, antagonised the effects of CA on NADPH oxidase activity and the membrane repolarisation responses of FMLP-activated neutrophils, but failed to restore store-operated influx of Ca2+. Similarly, CA also inhibited store-operated influx of Ca2+ into FMLP-activated neutrophils from a patient with chronic granulomatous disease, a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterised by the absence of a functional NADPH oxidase. CA also inhibited the store-operated influx of Ca2+ into control neutrophils treated with 1 microM thapsigargin, a selective inhibitor of the endomembrane Ca2+-ATPase, which does not activate NADPH oxidase. Taken together, these observations demonstrate that augmentation of NADPH oxidase activity is not primarily involved in CA-mediated inhibition of the store-operated influx of Ca2+ into activated human neutrophils.

Abstract
Human neutrophils differ from other cells by containing high amount of IkappaBalpha in the nucleus, and this increased nuclear IkappaBalpha accumulation is associated with the inhibition of NFkappaB activity and increased apoptosis. However, the mechanisms regulating NFkappaB activation and IkappaBalpha degradation in human neutrophils are little understood. The objective of this study was to provide a further insight into the mechanisms regulating NFkappaB activity and IkappaBalpha degradation in human neutrophils. We show that okadaic acid (OA), an inhibitor of protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A, induces sustained activation of NFkappaB and degradation of the nuclear IkappaBalpha, and increases interleukin-8 expression in the neutrophils. Furthermore, inhibitors of protein kinase C-delta (PKCdelta) and IkappaB kinase (IKK) inhibit the OA-induced activation of NFkappaB. Collectively, our results indicate that in human neutrophils, the sustained activation of NFkappaB is regulated by a continuous phosphorylation and degradation of the nuclear IkappaBalpha.

Abstract
Neutrophil motility is crucial to effective host defenses against microorganisms. While uropod retraction is a critical step in the migration of neutrophils, the underlying molecular mechanism is not well understood. Here, we show that inhibition of the Rho small GTPase with C3 exoenzyme prevented the retraction of trailing uropods, indicating that the process of rear release is mediated by a Rho signaling pathway. C3 exoenzyme caused marked elongation of directionally migrating neutrophils, suggesting an additional role for Rho in the maintenance of functional polarized cell shape. We also show that phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of the plasma membrane-actin filament cross-linker moesin are spatiotemporally controlled in migrating neutrophils. In particular, phosphorylation of moesin at threonine 558 depended on Rho activity. Videomicroscopy showed that dephosphorylation of this carboxy-terminal threonine preceded uropod retraction. Calyculin A, an inhibitor of type 1 and type 2A serine/threonine phosphatases, suppressed the moesin dephosphorylation and impaired uropod retraction in a dose-dependent manner. Cypermethrin, an inhibitor of type 2B serine/threonine phosphatase, had no such effects. The finding that Rho small GTPase and type 1/type 2A phosphatases are involved in rear release yields novel insights into the biochemical mechanisms of neutrophil migration.

Abstract
Stimulation of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) with PMA initiates a cascade of events leading to the production and release of superoxide anion (O-2), a major component in anti-bacterial defense. Generation of O-2 by PMA-stimulated PMNs occurs through the translocation and activation of protein kinase C (PKC). In this study, using freshly isolated PMNs, we examined the effect of ethanol on this response to PMA. Our results show that the basal production of O-2 was not affected by ethanol. In contrast, the response induced by PMA was potentiated by ethanol. This potentiation was observed even at high doses of PMA (200 nM) which alone had stimulated the O-2 response maximally. This enhanced response was not due to an increase of PMA uptake by PMNs. The maximal effect was obtained when the cells were preincubated with 80 mM of ethanol before PMA stimulation. Measurement of PKC activity in the cytosolic and membrane fractions showed that pretreatment of PMNs with ethanol increased twofold the PMA-stimulated PKC activity in the membrane fraction. Furthermore, Western blot analysis verified that this increase in PKC activity in the membrane fraction was linked to an increase in the translocation of PKC-alpha and -beta isoforms to the membrane. These results suggest that ethanol potentiates PMA-induced O-2 production through increasing PKC translocation and activity in PMNs.

Abstract
The interplay between serine/threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation was studied in human neutrophils. The direct effects of calyculin and okadaic acid, potent inhibitors of PP1 and PP2A serine/threonine phosphatases, on the patterns of neutrophil phosphorylation, and their effects on the responses of neutrophils to CD32 cross-linking were monitored. After a 2-min incubation with 10-6 M calyculin, a transient tyrosine phosphorylation of a subset of proteins, among which Cbl and Syk, was observed. After a longer incubation (>5 min) with calyculin, concomitant with an accumulation of serine and threonine phosphorylation, neutrophil responses to CD32 cross-linking were selectively altered. Tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl in response to CD32 cross-linking was inhibited by calyculin, and this inhibition was linked with a slower electrophoretic mobility of Cbl as a consequence of its phosphorylation on serine/threonine residues. However, tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk and of the receptor itself were not affected. Furthermore, the mobilization of intracellular calcium stimulated by CD32 cross-linking was totally abrogated by calyculin. Finally, the stimulation of superoxide production observed in response to CD32 cross-linking was enhanced in calyculin-treated cells. These results suggest that serine/threonine phosphorylation events regulate the signaling pathways activated by CD32 cross-linking in neutrophils and identify a novel mechanism of modulation of the functional responsiveness of human neutrophils to CD32 cross-linking.

Abstract
We have investigated the effects of a sinusoidal 60 Hz magnetic field on free radical (superoxide anion) production, degranulation (beta-glucuronidase and lysozyme release) and viability in human neutrophils (PMNs). Experiments were performed blindly in very controlled conditions to examine the effects of a magnetic field in resting PMNs and in PMNs stimulated with a tumor promoter: phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Exposure of unstimulated human PMNs to a 60 Hz magnetic field did not affect the functions examined. In contrast, exposure of PMNs to a 22 milliTesla (mT), 60 Hz magnetic field induced significant increases in superoxide anion (O2-) production (26.5%) and in beta-glucuronidase release (53%) when the cells were incubated with a suboptimal stimulating dose of PMA. Release of lysozyme and lactate dehydrogenase was unchanged by the magnetic field, whether the cells were stimulated or not. A 60 Hz magnetic field did not have any effect on O2- generation by a cell-free system xanthine/xanthine oxidase, suggesting that a magnetic field could upregulate common cellular events (signal transduction) leading to O2- generation and beta-glucuronidase release. In conclusion, exposure of PMNs to a 22 mT, 60 Hz magnetic field potentiates the effect of PMA on O2- generation and beta-glucuronidase release. This effect could be the result of an alteration in the intracellular signaling.

Abstract
Superoxide production from paraquat in a pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell (PMEC) suspension was demonstrated using 2-methyl-6-(p-methoxyphenyl)-3,7-dihydroimidazo[1,2-alpha]pyraz in-3-one (MCLA), a chemiluminescence probe, to detect superoxide anions. Increased rates of superoxide production from paraquat, which were sensitive to superoxide dismutase (SOD), required the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in the reaction medium, and occurred instantaneously after the addition of NADPH, which is impermeable to cell membranes. NADH as an electron donor was not as effective, and xanthine or succinate had no influence. Paraquat was anaerobically reduced in the presence of NADPH and PMECs to yield a one-electron reduced radical, and the reduction was inhibited by NADP+. Diphenyleneiodonium, an inhibitor of flavoprotein reductases, also markedly inhibited both paraquat reduction and superoxide production. These results indicate that NADPH-dependent superoxide production from paraquat probably occurs by a flavoprotein with NADPH-dependent reductase activity in cell membranes. NADPH-dependent superoxide production from paraquat was also reproduced using adherent PMECs on wells. Under these conditions, superoxide production was enhanced with agonists, including interleukin-1beta, A23187, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. The effect of the former two was blocked with staurosporine, while the latter's effect was suppressed with calyculin A.

Abstract
We report a selective, differential stimulus-dependent enrichment of the actin-associated protein alpha-actinin and of isoforms of the signaling enzyme protein kinase C (PKC) in the neutrophil cytoskeleton. Chemotactic peptide, activators of PKC, and cell adhesion all induce a significant increase in the amount of cytoskeletal alpha-actinin and actin. Increased association of PKCbetaI and betaII with the cytoskeletal fraction of stimulated cells was also observed, with phorbol ester being more effective than chemotactic peptide. A fraction of phosphatase 2A was constitutively associated with the cytoskeleton independent of cell activation. None of the stimuli promoted association of vinculin or myosin II with the cytoskeleton. Phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and calyculin A prevented increases in cytoskeletal actin, alpha-actinin, and PKCbetaII induced by phorbol ester, suggesting the requirement for phosphatase activity in these events. Increases in cytoskeletal alpha-actinin and PKCbetaII showed differing sensitivity to agents that prevent actin polymerization (cytochalasin D, latrunculin A). Latrunculin A (1 microM) completely blocked PMA-induced increases in cytoskeletal alpha-actinin but reduced cytoskeletal recruitment of PKCbetaII only by 16%. Higher concentrations of latrunculin A (4 microM), which almost abolished the cytoskeletal actin pool, reduced cytoskeletal PKCbetaII by 43%. In conclusion, a selective enrichment of cytoskeletal and signaling proteins in the cytoskeleton of human neutrophils is induced by specific stimuli.
