Abstract
Phospholipid-metabolizing enzymes are important participants in neutrophil signal transduction pathways. The methods discussed herein describe assays for assessing the activities of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), phospholipase C (PLC), phospholipase D (PLD), and phosphoinositide 3-OH-kinase in intact neutrophils. PLA2 activity is measured as the release of radiolabeled arachidonic acid. PLC activity is measured as the accumulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), a water-soluble product, using a commercially available radioreceptor assay kit. PLD activity is measured as the appearance of its radiolabeled products, phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylethanol. PI3-K activity is measured as the appearance of its radiolabeled product, phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate.

Pan L, Wu X, Zhao D, Hessari NM, Lee I, Zhang X, Xu J. Sulfhydryl modification induces calcium entry through IP₃-sensitive store-operated pathway in activation-dependent human neutrophils. PLoS One 2011; 6:e25262. [PMID: 21984909 PMCID: PMC3184953 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0025262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2011] [Accepted: 08/30/2011] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
As the first line of host defense, neutrophils are stimulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines from resting state, facilitating the execution of immunomodulatory functions in activation state. Sulfhydryl modification has a regulatory role in a wide variety of physiological functions through mediation of signaling transductions in various cell types. Recent research suggested that two kinds of sulfhydryl modification, S-nitrosylation by exogenous nitric oxide (NO) and alkylation by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), could induce calcium entry through a non-store-operated pathway in resting rat neutrophils and DDT1MF-2 cells, while in active human neutrophils a different process has been observed by us. In the present work, data showed that NEM induced a sharp rising of cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]c) without external calcium, followed by a second [Ca2+]c increase with readdition of external calcium in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-activated human neutrophils. Meanwhile, addition of external calcium did not cause [Ca2+]c change of Ca2+-free PMA-activated neutrophils before application of NEM. These data indicated that NEM could induce believable store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) in PMA-activated neutrophils. Besides, we found that sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a donor of exogenous NO, resulted in believable SOCE in PMA-activated human neutrophils via S-nitrosylation modification. In contrast, NEM and SNP have no effect on [Ca2+]c of resting neutrophils which were performed in suspension. Furthermore, 2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, a reliable blocker of SOCE and an inhibitor of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor, evidently abolished SNP and NEM-induced calcium entry at 75 µM, while preventing calcium release in a concentration-dependent manner. Considered together, these results demonstrated that NEM and SNP induced calcium entry through an IP3-sensitive store-operated pathway of human neutrophils via sulfhydryl modification in a PMA-induced activation-dependent manner.

Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone involved in fundamental physiological processes of higher plants, such as response to abiotic stress (temperature, light, drought), regulation of seed dormancy and germination, and control of stomatal closure. Here, we provide evidence that ABA stimulates several functional activities [phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide (NO) production, and chemotaxis] of human granulocytes through a signaling pathway sequentially involving a pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive G protein/receptor complex, protein kinase A activation, ADP-ribosyl cyclase phosphorylation, and consequent cyclic-ADP-ribose overproduction, leading to an increase of the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. The increase of free intracellular ABA and its release by activated human granulocytes indicate that ABA should be considered as a new pro-inflammatory cytokine in humans. This discovery is an intriguing example of conservation of a hormone and its signaling pathway from plants to humans and provides insight into the molecular mechanisms of granulocyte activation, possibly leading to the development of new antiinflammatory drugs.

Abstract
In this study, the possible mechanisms of action for the inhibitory effects of S-carboxymethylcysteine on the activation of human neutrophils by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) were investigated. Preincubation of neutrophils with more than 10 microg/ml of S-carboxymethylcysteine was found to impair neutrophil chemotactic activity toward FMLP, and to inhibit FMLP-mediated neutrophil adherence to pulmonary vascular endothelial cells. Preincubation of neutrophils with 10 and 100 microg/ml of S-carboxymethylcysteine decreased in the production of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP(3)) and diacylglycerol in neutrophils stimulated with FMLP, respectively. Preincubation of neutrophils with S-carboxymethylcysteine did not affect the cellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels in neutrophils stimulated with FMLP. S-carboxymethylcysteine inhibited the enzymatic activity of phosphatidyl inositol-specific phospholipase C in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings indicate that S-carboxymethylcysteine attenuates FMLP-stimulated neutrophil activation at least in part by inhibiting phosphatidyl inositol-specific phospholipase C-mediated signal transduction.

Abstract
The N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMLP)-OMe (1) analogues for-Thp-Leu-Ain-OMe (2), for-Thp-Leu-Phe-OMe (3), for-Met-Leu-Ain-OMe (4), for-Met-Delta(z)Leu-Phe-OMe (5), for-Met-Lys-Phe-For-Met-Lys-Phe (6), for-Met-Leu-Pheol-COMe (7), and for-Nle-Leu-Phe-OMe (8) have been studied. Some of these have been found selective towards the activation of different biological responses of human neutrophils. In particular, peptides 2 and 3, which evoke only chemotaxis, are ineffective in enhancing inositol phosphate, as well as cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels. On the contrary, analogues 5 and 7, which induce superoxide anion production and degranulation, but not chemotaxis, significantly increase the levels of the two intracellular messengers, as is the case of the full agonists 1 and 6. The Ca(2+) ionophore A23187 also activates phospholipase C (PLC) and increases the nucleotide levels; when tested in combination with peptide 1 or 5, a supra-additive enhancement of cAMP concentration is obtained. The PLC blocker, U-73122, inhibits the formylpeptide-induced inositol phosphate formation, as well as cAMP increase. Moreover, this drug drastically reduces superoxide anion release triggered by 1 or 5, whereas it inhibits to a much lesser extent neutrophil chemotaxis induced by 1 or 2. Our results suggest that: (i) PLC stimulation is involved in cAMP enhancement by formylpeptides; (ii) the activation of PLC by formylpeptides, in conditions of increased Ca(2+) influx, induces a supra-additive enhancement of the nucleotide; (iii) the inability of pure chemoattractants to significantly alter the PLC activity or cAMP level, differently from full agonists or peptides specific in inducing superoxide anion release, appears as a general property. Thus, the activation of neutrophil PLC seems essential for superoxide anion release, but less involved in the chemotactic response.

Abstract
Norathyriol, a xanthone aglycone, inhibited superoxide anion (O2-) generation and O2 consumption in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-activated rat neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, norathyriol inhibited PMA- but enhanced formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-induced neutrophil aggregation. Norathyriol suppressed neutrophil cytosolic protein kinase C as well as rat brain protein kinase C over the same range of concentrations at which it inhibited the respiratory burst. Norathyriol did not affect [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate ([3H]PDB) binding to neutrophil cytosolic protein kinase C, but effectively attenuated trypsin-treated rat brain protein kinase C activity. Moreover, norathyriol was found to be a noncompetitive inhibitor with respect to ATP and peptide substrate (N-terminal acetylated, amino acid sequence 4-14 of the myelin basic protein, Ac-MBP-(4-14)). Unlike staurosporine, norathyriol did not affect porcine heart protein kinase A activity. On the immunoblot analysis of protein kinase C subcellular distribution, the PMA-induced translocation of protein kinase C-beta from the cytosol to the membrane was not affected by norathyriol. These results show that the inhibition by a plant product, norathyriol, of PMA-induced respiratory burst and aggregation is, at least partly, attributed to the direct suppression of protein kinase C activity through blockade of the catalytic region, but is not due to interference with the membrane translocation of protein kinase C during PMA-induced cell activation.

Abstract
Activated neutrophils are assumed to be one plausible cause of tissue injury in the ischaemic and reperfused myocardium. We studied the inhibitory effects of the calcium antagonists felodipine, nimodipine and verapamil on human neutrophil activation in order to elucidate the mechanisms underlying their myocardioprotective effects and to determine whether calcium antagonists with different chemical structures vary in their effect on neutrophil activation. Neutrophils were stimulated with formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (0.1 microM) or by phorbol myristate acetate (0.16 microM), and the rise in cytosolic calcium and the H2O2 production were determined. For felodipine, the inhibitory effect on granulocyte elastase release was also studied. The calcium antagonists reduced formyl-Met-Leu-Phe and phorbol myristate acetate-induced neutrophil activation in a concentration-dependent manner, the order of potency being: felodipine > nimodipine > verapamil. For felodipine, the IC50 (concentration causing 50% reduction) values were 3 x 10(-6) and 2 x 10(-6) M for the formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-induced cytosolic calcium increase and H2O2 production, respectively. The IC50-value for the phorbol myristate acetate-induced cytosolic calcium increase was 6 x 10(-6) and for H2O2 production 4 x 10(-6) M. For formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-induced granulocyte elastase release, the IC50-value was 5 x 10(-6) M. The inhibitory effect of felodipine on the phorbol myristate acetate-induced granulocyte elastase release did not exceed 50%. Nimodipine was a less potent inhibitor than felodipine for both formyl-Met-Leu-Phe- and phorbol myristate acetate-induced cell activities. Verapamil was even less potent than the other two agents. The present study demonstrates that felodipine potentially suppresses neutrophil activation at micromolar concentrations. However, this observation should not be directly extrapolated to explain the tissue protection by the compounds without evidence of profound local accumulation.

Abstract
Exocytosis of the secondary (2 degree) lysosomal granule is an important process in the activation of human neutrophils. Stored enzymes such as collagenase and gelatinase are released, and adhesion molecules from the granule membrane are inserted in the plasma membrane. This exocytosis is independent of azurophil granule release and respiratory burst activation. We investigated, using kinase and phosphatase inhibitors and activators of adenylate cyclase, common intracellular signalling mechanisms involved in exocytosis (vitamin B12 binding protein release) stimulated by different agonists. Exocytosis in response to tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and the chemotactic tripeptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) was inhibited by the calmodulin antagonist N-(6-amino hexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene sulphonamide (W7). Neither staurosporine, H7 nor genistein was inhibitory. In contrast, the same doses of W7 synergistically enhanced the exocytosis stimulated by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor sodium orthovanadate, while kinase inhibition by staurosporine or genistein dose-dependently inhibited the vanadate response. Furthermore, adenylate cyclase activation with prostaglandin E2 or dibutyryl cyclic AMP, inhibited exocytosis in response to TNF alpha and FMLP, while having no effect on the release induced by vanadate or PMA. Thus, 2 degree granule exocytosis stimulated by receptor-bound ligands is calmodulin-dependent, and is independent of protein kinase activity. In contrast, exocytosis in response to tyrosine phosphatase inhibition is antagonised by calmodulin, since the response to vanadate was enhanced synergistically by W7. Thus, depending on the initial stimulus, calmodulin may promote or inhibit 2 degree granule exocytosis by human PMN.

Abstract
1-[6-[[17 beta-3-Methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl]amino]hexyl]-1 H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U-73122) has been proven to be a useful tool in investigation of phospholipase C (PLC)-coupled signal transduction during cell activation. In the present studies, the inhibition by U-73122 of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) of neutrophils was investigated. U-73122 suppressed the [Ca2+]i elevation of neutrophils suspended in Ca(2+)-containing medium challenged by N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP), cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and ionomycin. The concentrations of U-73122 required for inhibition of CPA- and ionomycin-induced changes with IC50 values 4.06 +/- 0.27 microM and 4.04 +/- 0.44 microM, respectively, is almost 10-times that required for inhibition of the fMLP-induced response (IC50 value 0.62 +/- 0.04 microM). U-73122 also reduced the intracellular Ca2+ mobilization of neutrophils suspended in Ca(2+)-free medium stimulated by fMLP and CPA, but not by ionomycin, with IC50 values 0.52 +/- 0.02 microM and 6.82 +/- 0.74 microM, respectively. 1-[6-[[17 beta-3-Methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl]amino]hexyl]-2,5-pyrr olidinedione (U-73343), a close analog of U-73122 that does not inhibit PLC activity, suppressed the [Ca2+]i elevation of neutrophils challenged by fMLP in Ca(2+)-containing medium, but not in Ca(2+)-free medium, with IC50 value 22.30 +/- 1.61 microM. In Mn(2+)-quench studies, U-73122 suppressed the Mn2+ influx in CPA-activated neutrophils (IC50 value was 7.16 +/- 0.28 microM) as well as in resting neutrophils (IC50 value was 6.72 +/- 0.30 microM). U-73343 also suppressed the Mn2+ influx in resting neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner. These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of U-73122 on [Ca2+]i of activated neutrophils is attributed partly to the suppression of Ca2+ release from the intracellular Ca2+ stores through PLC inhibition, and partly to the blockade, especially at higher concentrations, of Ca2+ entry from the extracellular space through PLC-independent processes.

Abstract
Daphnoretin, a dicoumarin isolated from Wikstroemia indica C.A. Mey. (Thymelaceae), induced superoxide anion (O2-) formation in rat neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner. Addition of staurosporine reduced daphnoretin-induced respiratory burst. Removal of extracellular free Ca2+ by EGTA did not affect the respiratory burst of neutrophils in response to daphnoretin. Prior exposure of neutrophils to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or daphnoretin reduced the O2- formation caused by a subsequent challenge with PMA and daphnoretin, but potentiated the response caused by a subsequent addition of formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP). Like PMA, daphnoretin did not increase the [Ca2+]i during cell activation. In neutrophil suspension, daphnoretin increased the membrane associated protein kinase C activity. In the presence of Ca2+ and phosphatidyl-serine, daphnoretin also activated protein kinase C isolated from cytosolic fraction of resting neutrophils. Staurosporine inhibited the direct activation of protein kinase C caused by daphnoretin as well as by PMA. Daphnoretin reduced the [3H]Phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate ([3H]PDB) binding to the neutrophil cytosolic protein kinase C in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 1.77 +/- 0.37 microM. These results indicate that daphnoretin, like PMA, may direct activation of protein kinase C which in turn activated NADPH oxidase and elicited respiratory burst.

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
N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP), at concentrations as low as 5 nM, caused an increase in intracellular uridine pools in dimethyl sulphoxide (Me2SO)-differentiated HL-60 cells. Intracellular uridine pools were elevated rapidly and reached a maximum within 10 min of exposure to 10 microM FMLP, followed by a gradual decline. This enhancement by FMLP was a consequence of a 3-fold increase in the Vmax of pertussis-toxin-sensitive Na(+)-dependent uridine transport system, with no change in the apparent Km. Km values of 2.67 +/- 0.45 and 3.85 +/- 0.52 microM and Vmax. values of 0.046 +/- 0.017 and 0.125 +/- 0.020 microM/s were obtained for untreated and FMLP-treated Me2SO-differentiated cells respectively. The effect of FMLP on the Na(+)-dependent transport of uridine in Me2SO-differentiated HL-60 cells was specific, as the facilitated transport of uridine was unaffected. Furthermore, this phenomenon was not observed in undifferentiated, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-differentiated or pertussis-toxin-treated Me2SO-differentiated HL-60 cells. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ with EGTA abolished the FMLP enhancement of uridine transport in a reversible manner, suggesting the involvement of Ca2+. However, the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 only partially mimicked the effect of FMLP. Similarly, with PMA the transport was sub-optimally enhanced, but a full activation was observed in cells treated with both A23187 and PMA. These findings suggest that activation of the Na(+)-dependent uridine transporter by FMLP in Me2SO-differentiated HL-60 cells involves a pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-protein with a bifurcating signal-transduction pathway.

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
Earlier studies demonstrated that dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation attenuates the chemotactic response of neutrophils and the generation of leukotriene (LT) B4 by neutrophils stimulated with calcium ionophore; however, the mechanisms and relationship of these effects were not examined. Neutrophils and monocytes from eight healthy individuals were examined before and after 3 and 10 wk of dietary supplementation with 20 g SuperEPA daily, which provides 9.4 g eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 5 g docosahexaenoic acid. The maximal neutrophil chemotactic response to LTB4, assessed in Boyden microchambers, decreased by 69% after 3 wk and by 93% after 10 wk from prediet values. The formation of [3H]inositol tris-phosphate (IP3) by [3H]inositol-labeled neutrophils stimulated by LTB4 decreased by 71% after 3 wk (0.033 +/- 0.013% [3H] release, mean +/- SEM) and by 90% after 10 wk (0.011 +/- 0.011%) from predict values (0.114 +/- 0.030%) as quantitated by beta-scintillation counting after resolution on HPLC. LTB4-stimulated neutrophil chemotaxis and IP3 formation correlated significantly (P < 0.0001); each response correlated closely and negatively with the EPA content of the neutrophil phosphatidylinositol (PI) pool (P = 0.0003 and P = 0.0005, respectively). Neither the affinities and densities of the high and low affinity LTB4 receptors on neutrophils nor LTB4-mediated diglyceride formation changed appreciably during the study. Similar results were observed in neutrophils activated with platelet-activating factor (PAF). The summed formation of LTB4 plus LTB5 was selectively inhibited in calcium ionophore-stimulated neutrophils and was also inhibited in zymosan-stimulated neutrophils. The inhibition of the summed formation of LTB4 plus LTB5 in calcium ionophore-stimulated neutrophils and in zymosan-stimulated neutrophils did not correlate significantly with the EPA content of the PI pool. The data indicate that dietary omega-3 PUFA supplementation inhibits the autoamplification of the neutrophil inflammatory response by decreasing LTB4 formation through the inactivation of the LTA epoxide hydrolase and independently by inhibiting LTB4- (and PAF) stimulated chemotaxis by attenuating the formation of IP3 by the PI-selective phospholipase C. This is the initial demonstration that dietary omega-3 PUFA supplementation can suppress signal transduction at the level of the PI-specific phospholipase C in humans.

Abstract
The effects of neomycin on human neutrophils (PMN) were studied with respect to the generation of leukotrienes, the involvement of guanine triphosphate binding proteins (G proteins) and the polymerization of actin. Incubation of neutrophils with neomycin induced the generation of low amounts of leukotrienes. Co-incubation of neutrophils with neomycin and the direct G-protein activator sodium fluoride (NaF) resulted in an enhanced leukotriene formation at 0.5 mM neomycin and an inhibition at a concentration of 10 mM. Simultaneous incubation with neomycin and formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FLMP) did not affect the FMLP-induced leukotriene formation. However, pretreatment of neutrophils with 10 mM neomycin followed by the addition of NaF or FMLP resulted in an enhanced generation of leukotrienes. Crude membrane fractions of PMN incubated with neomycin at different concentrations showed an enhanced (0.5 mM) as well as a reduced (10 mM) guanine triphosphatase activity. Furthermore, incubation of neutrophils with neomycin above a concentration of 0.5 mM led to the depolymerization of actin. The presented results show inhibitory and stimulatory effects of neomycin on various cell functions, which may reflect differences in transmembrane signalling.

Abstract
Postinjury tissue inflammation with PMN elastase proteolysis generates immunosuppressive fibronectin peptides (FNDP) impairing chemotaxis, T-cell activation, and proliferation. Excess intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) impairs T-cell activation. This study quantifies the changes in [Ca2+]i following exposure to a degradation peptide of fibronectin to determine the mechanism of action of these peptides on calcium homeostasis. Isolated human PBLs were exposed to immunosuppressive concentrations of FNDP after loading with the [Ca2+]i probe FURA-2AM. Resting and sustained [Ca2+]i concentrations were calculated and compared to buffer control. The mechanism of action was determined by pretreatment with: (1) EDTA binding extra cellular Ca2+: [Ca2+]e, (2) the Ca2+ channel blockers verapamil and nifedipine, and (3) inhibition of [Ca2+]i released by dantrolene. Inositol triphosphate (IP3) essential for [Ca2+]i release was measured following T-cell stimulation as well. FNDP caused 200-400% increases in [Ca2+]i concentration relative to buffer control at known suppressive doses. Verapamil and nifedipine partially block [Ca2+]i influx by as much as 50% suggesting the slow Ca2+ (voltage independent) channels are partially responsible for the increased [Ca2+]i seen following FNDP. EDTA completely suppressed [Ca2+]e influx but did not completely inhibit the release of [Ca2+]i although IP3 was 80% suppressed. The increase in [Ca2+]i following FNDP stimulation is due to release of intracellular stores.

Abstract
Conditions for superoxide anion (O2-) production were examined in guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL). When PMNL were suspended in the hypotonic medium, O2- production was significantly enhanced by concurrent treatment with low concentrations of 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG), a cell-permeable protein kinase C activator. Such hypotonicity or OAG alone had little effect on the production. Other protein kinase C activators also markedly enhanced O2- production in combination with hypotonicity, but not in the isotonic medium. Protein kinase C inhibitors, H-7 and staurosporine, dose-dependently inhibited the production. These observations indicate that protein kinase C participates in such synergistic O2- production with hypotonicity. Phosphorylation of 46-kDa protein(s), which was commonly enhanced in paralleled with an activation of NADPH oxidase in guinea pig PMNL, was increased by treatment with 10 microM OAG, but the phosphorylation was little altered by hypotonic treatment. Intracellular calcium concentration, arachidonate release, and 1,2-diacylglycerol and phosphoinositide concentrations were slightly altered by hypotonic treatment. A change in phosphatidate (PA) production in PMNL was induced by hypotonic treatment either by itself or in combination with OAG treatment. These results suggest that the combination of cell membrane changes by hypotonic treatment accompanied by the increase in PA and 46-kDa protein phosphorylation by protein kinase C provides the conditions required for a marked increase in O2- production. Hypotonicity may be a good tool for studying the mechanism of priming in the activation of NADPH oxidase.

Abstract
Escherichia coli hemolysin (Hly) is a proteinaceous pore-forming exotoxin that probably represents a significant virulence factor in E. coli infections. We investigated its influence on human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), previously identified as highly susceptible targets. Hly provoked rapid secretion of elastase and myeloperoxidase, generation of superoxide, and synthesis of platelet-activating factor (PAF) and lyso-PAF. Concomitantly, marked phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) hydrolysis with sequential appearance of the inositol-phosphates, inositol-phosphates, inositol triphosphate, diphosphate, and monophosphate, respectively, and formation of diacylglycerol, occurred. The metabolic responses displayed distinct bell-shaped dose dependencies, with maximum events noted at low toxin concentrations of 0.1-0.5 hemolytic units per milliliter. PtdIns hydrolysis and metabolic responses elicited by Hly exceeded those evoked by optimal concentrations of formylmethionyl-leucyl phenylalanine, PAF, leukotriene B4, A23187, or staphylococcal alpha-toxin. The toxin-induced effects were sensitive toward modulators of PMN stimulus transmission pathways (pertussis toxin, the kinase C inhibitor H7, and phorbol myristate acetate "priming"). We conclude that the marked capacity of low doses of Hly to elicit degranulation, respiratory burst, and lipid mediator generation in human PMN probably envolves signal transduction via PtdIns hydrolysis.

Abstract
Emptying of the intracellular calcium stores of human neutrophils, by prolonged incubation in Ca(2+)-free medium, by treatment with low concentrations of the Ca2+ inophore ionomycin, or by activation with cell agonists, increased the plasma-membrane permeability to Ca2+ and Mn2+. The chemotactic peptide formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine and the natural agonists platelet-activating factor and leukotriene B4 released different amounts of calcium from the stores and induced Ca2+ (Mn2+) uptake, the rate of which correlated inversely with the amount of calcium left in the stores. The increased Mn2+ uptake induced by these agonists was persistent in cells incubated in Ca(2+)-free medium, but returned to basal levels in cells incubated in Ca(2+)-containing medium, with the same time course as the refilling of the calcium stores. The calcium-stores-regulated Mn2+ influx, including that induced by agonists, was prevented by cytochrome P-450 inhibitors. We propose that agonist-induced Ca2+ (Mn2+) influx in human neutrophils is secondary to the emptying of the intracellular stores which, in turn, activates plasma-membrane Ca2+ channels by a mechanism involving microsomal cytochrome P-450, similar to that described previously in thymocytes [Alvarez, Montero & Garcia-Sancho (1991) Biochem. J. 274, 193-197].

Abstract
On the surface of phagocytes, C3b receptors (CR1) bind C3b-coated particles and promote their ingestion after activation by appropriate stimuli such as lymphokines or the chemoattractant formyl methionyl leucyl phenylalanine (fMLP) and fibronectin. The aims of the present study were 1) to define at the electron microscopic level the nature of the process responsible for CR1 internalization and 2) to dissect the mechanism by which a physiological activator (fMLP) stimulates this process. CR1 was visualized either by the immunogold technique or by quantitative electron microscopic autoradiography using a monoclonal anti-CR1 antibody. Both techniques revealed that after anti-CR1 binding, CR1 cluster on the neutrophil surface in a time-, temperature-, and antibody-dependent fashion, but do not concentrate in coated pits. CR1 internalization requires receptor cross-linking (does not occur in the presence of Fab fragments of anti-CR1) and intact microfilaments. It results in the association of the internalized material with large flattened vacuoles, organized in stacks. Together with the surface localization of CR1 close to cytoplasmic projections (ruffles), these observations suggest that uptake of CR1 occurs through a macropinocytotic process. Eventually, CR1 concentrate in lysosomal structures. fMLP markedly stimulates this pattern of CR1 internalization without affecting their clustering or their lack of association with coated pits. Stimulation by fMLP is inhibited by pertussis toxin, unaffected by preventing receptor-triggered cytosolic free calcium [Ca2+]i elevations, and mimicked by phorbol myristate acetate. Taken together our data demonstrate 1) that, in neutrophils, CR1 is internalized via a coated pit independent macropinocytotic process, dependent on intact microfilaments and receptor cross-linking; 2) that, in the same cells, fMLP is internalized via the classical coated pits pathway; and 3) that fMLP amplifies CR1 uptake possibly via protein kinase C stimulation.

Abstract
Inositol uptake was studied in the rat CNS neuroblastoma B50 cell line. Eadie-Hofstee analysis of the uptake pattern reveals two defined modes of inositol entry into the cell. The high-affinity uptake component requires the presence of extracellular sodium and is inhibited by phloridzin. Analysis of the uptake velocities of the high-affinity uptake component provided the following apparent kinetic parameters: Km = 13.7 microM and Vmax = 14.7 pmol/mg of protein/min (without correcting for residual diffusion) and Km = 12.9 microM and Vmax = 12.3 pmol/mg of protein/min (with correction). At physiological concentrations, the high-affinity transport process contributes approximately 70% to total uptake; the remainder is due to a low-affinity diffusion-like process. Uptake inhibition studies reveal that the uptake process is sensitive to ouabain, amiloride, and dichlorobenzamil inhibition but relatively insensitive to cytochalasin B or phloretin. When neuroblastoma B50 cells are induced to differentiate morphologically with high extracellular calcium or with dibutyryl cyclic AMP, a significant decrease in inositol uptake is observed. The dibutyryl cyclic AMP-mediated inhibition of uptake affects only the high-affinity uptake component and is noncompetitive in nature. The high extracellular calcium-mediated inhibition is less specific; it involves "disappearance" of the high-affinity process, some inhibition of the low-affinity process, and an increase of inositol efflux. The significance of these observations is discussed in the context of neuroblastoma B50 cell differentiation.

Abstract
Bovine heart contains multiple phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PIC) activities separable by ion-exchange chromatography. One PIC activity was purified to apparent homogeneity and migrated as a single band of Mr 85,000 on SDS-PAGE. The purified PIC was characterized with sonicated suspensions of either pure phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) or phosphatidylinositol (PI) as substrates. At pH 7, apparent Vmax and Km values were higher for PIP2 than for PI, but the value of Vmax/Km was similar for the two substrates. PIC required Ca2+ for the hydrolysis of either PI or PIP2, and increasing free Ca2+ concentrations from 20 to 300 nM saturated PIC activity. The requirement of Ca2+ for PIC activity and the sensitivity of PIC to Ca2+ concentrations in the physiological range suggested the ion may be a cofactor. The PIC reaction mechanism was determined by two-substrate kinetic analysis; the data fit a model in which PIC contained single sites for Ca2+ and phosphoinositide, and utilized a rapid-equilibrium, random-order ternary mechanism for phosphoinositide hydrolysis. The KCa value for either PI or PIP2 hydrolysis was approximately 30 nM, suggesting resting intracellular free Ca2+ concentrations are sufficient to saturate the Ca2+ site of PIC. La3+ was used as a calcium analogue to modulate PIC activity. Low concentrations of LaCl3 (0.01-0.3 microM) inhibited PIC activity competitively with respect to calcium, consistent with a Ca2+ binding site on the enzyme.

Abstract
In neutrophils and several other phagocytes, a pertussis and cholera toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein) couples the receptors for formyl methionine-containing chemotactic peptides to stimulation of phospholipase C. We used membranes of myeloid-differentiated HL 60 cells to study the role of Na+ in regulating both the interaction of the formyl peptide receptor with the chemotactic agonist, N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), and the receptor-mediated activation of the G-protein. Monovalent cations (Na+ greater than Li+ greater than K+ greater than choline+) markedly inhibited the binding of the radiolabeled oligopeptide [3H]FMLP by specifically reducing the number of receptors in the high-affinity state. Half-maximal and maximal inhibition of peptide binding were seen at cation concentrations of approximately 20 and 200 mM, respectively. Inhibition of peptide binding by Na+ was observed in the presence and absence of divalent cations and was strictly additive to inhibition by the poorly hydrolyzable GTP analogue, guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), or to ADP ribosylation of G-proteins by pertussis toxin. The inhibitory effect of Na+ on peptide binding coincided with a marked reduction of the potency of FMLP to stimulate a high-affinity GTPase. In contrast, the degree of FMLP-stimulated GTPase activity was markedly enhanced in the presence of Na+. This was largely due to the fact that Na+ reduced the agonist-independent basal GTPase activity in the same way but less so than pertussis toxin treatment. The results show that monovalent cations, Na+ in particular, regulate the interaction of the formyl peptide receptor with both the chemotactic agonist and the G-protein by acting on a single site, possibly located on the receptor itself. The observation that basal GTPase activity is markedly reduced by both Na+ and pertussis toxin treatment also suggests (a) that G-proteins interact with and are activated by receptors even in the absence of agonists and (b) that Na+ uncouples unoccupied receptors from G-protein interaction and activation.

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
Binding of chemoattractants to specific cell surface receptors on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) initiates a variety of biologic responses, including directed migration (chemotaxis), release of superoxide anions, and lysosomal enzyme secretion. Chemoattractant receptors belong to a large class of receptors which utilize the hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides to initiate Ca2+ mobilization and cellular activation. Receptor occupancy leads to phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) yielding inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and 1,2 sn-diacylglycerol (DAG). These products synergize to initiate cell activation via calcium mobilization (IP3) and protein kinase C activation (DAG). Pertussis toxin, which ADP-ribosylates and inactivates some GTP binding proteins (G proteins), abolishes all chemoattractant-induced responses, including Ca2+ mobilization, IP3 and DAG production, enzyme secretion, superoxide production and chemotaxis. Direct evidence for chemoattractant receptor: G protein coupling was obtained using PMN membrane preparations which contain a Ca2+-sensitive phospholipase C. Hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides at resting intracellular Ca2+ levels (100 nm) was only observed when the membranes were stimulated with the chemoattractant N-formyl-methyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) in the presence of GTP. Myeloid cells contain two distinct pertussis toxin substrates of similar molecular weight (40 and 41 kD). The 41 kD substrate resembles Gi, whereas a 40 kD substrate is physically associated with a partially purified fMet-Leu-Phe receptor preparation and may therefore represent a novel G protein involved in chemoattractant-stimulated responses. Metabolism of 1,4,5-IP3 to inositol proceeds via two distinct pathways in PMNs: (1) degradation to 1,4-IP2 and 4-IP1 or (2) conversion to 1,3,4,5-IP4, 1,3,4-IP3, 3,4-IP2 and 3-IP1. Initial formation (0-30 s) of 1,4,5-IP3 and DAG occurs at ambient intracellular Ca2+ levels, whereas formation of 1,3,4-IP3 and a second sustained phase of DAG production (30 s-10 min) require elevated cytosolic Ca2+ influx. The later peak of DAG, which is not derived from phosphoinositides, appears to be required for stimulation of respiratory burst activity. Products formed during activation can feed back to attenuate chemoattractant receptor-mediated stimulation of phospholipase C by uncoupling receptor-G protein-phospholipase C interaction.

Abstract
The legionellae are facultative intracellular bacterial pathogens which multiply in host phagocytes. Legionella micdadei cells contain an acid phosphatase (ACP2) which blocks superoxide anion production by human neutrophils stimulated with formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) [A. K. Saha, et al. (1985) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 243, 150-160]. In the present study, we have purified the Legionella phosphatase to homogeneity as indicated by the finding of a single 68,000-Da band following sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We explored the possibility that ACP2 acts by interfering with polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis and the production of the intracellular second messengers, inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol, following neutrophil stimulation. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was hydrolyzed rapidly by ACP2 in vitro. The rate of hydrolysis of PIP2 was higher at pH 7.0 (Km 2.0 microM; 4 X 10(3) units/mg protein; 1 unit equals 1 nmol of Pi released/h) than at lower pH. IP3 was also a good substrate for ACP2 in vitro. When human neutrophil phosphoinositides were prelabeled with 32Pi, subsequent incubation with ACP2 resulted in an 85% loss of the labeled PIP2 over 2 h. Following fMLP stimulation of [3H]inositol-labeled neutrophils, the quantity of IP3 produced by ACP2-treated cells was reduced by 44%. Prior treatment of neutrophils with ACP2 also reduced by 45% the amount of diacylglycerol they produced when stimulated by fMLP. These results indicate that the Legionella phosphatase may compromise the neutrophils' microbicidal response to the organism by hydrolyzing PIP2, the progenitor of IP3 and diacylglycerol, and by hydrolyzing IP3 itself.

Abstract
Formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), platelet activating factor (PAF) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) are potent activators of human neutrophils. Using human neutrophils prelabelled with the fluorescent indicator dye, Quin 2, or with [32P]-orthophosphate, we examined the effects of these stimuli on intracellular free calcium concentration, [Ca2+]i, and on various indices of phosphoinositide metabolism, including [32P]-phosphatidic acid (PtdA) formation. The concentration-dependence of the observed changed in [Ca2+]i or [32P]-PtdA were then compared to stimulus-induced aggregation and enzyme release (beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG) and lysozyme). FMLP, PAF and LTB4 caused a concentration-dependent elevation of [Ca2+]i, aggregation and enzyme release. However, unlike FMLP and PAF, LTB4 (less than or equal to 2.5 microM) did not cause significant formation of [32P]-PtdA. The concentration response curves for agonist-induced elevation of [Ca2+]i lie to the left of those for aggregation and enzyme release. FMLP and PAF also caused an elevation of [Ca2+]i at concentrations lower than those required to elicit [32P]-PtdA formation. These observations suggest that [Ca2+]i elevation per se cannot mediate human neutrophil functional responses to FMLP, PAF and LTB4. Consequently there may exist other mediator(s) that act in concert with [Ca2+]i or are triggered by [Ca2+]i elevation to promote human neutrophil activation. Both the elevation of [Ca2+]i and the formation of these putative mediator(s) in response to LTB4 apparently occur independently of inositol phospholipid hydrolysis.

Abstract
U-937 cells differentiated by exposure to dibutyryl cyclic AMP respond to complement fragment C5a with a marked increase in cytoskeletal F-actin, which can be detected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (f.a.c.s.) analysis of their rhodamine phalloidin-stained cytoskeletons. The C5a-induced increase in F-actin content can be prevented by prior exposure of the cells to cytochalasin B and pertussis toxin. It is insensitive to removal of extra cellular Ca2+, to cholera toxin or to neomycin. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), an activator of protein kinase C, does not induce actin polymerization in the differentiated cells. Both C5a and PMA stimulate superoxide production. The action of C5a on superoxide formation is also inhibited by neomycin, a phospholipase inhibitor. These results suggest that the cytoskeletal response to C5a requires activation of a G protein, but probably does not involve phospholipase C and protein kinase C, and is not highly dependent on the availability of Ca2+. Phospholipase C and kinase C may, however, be components of the pathway leading from C5a binding to superoxide production.

Abstract
Cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) homeostasis was investigated in mouse peritoneal macrophages and in the macrophage-like cell line J774. [Ca2+]i measurements were performed in both cells in suspension and cells in monolayers loaded with either quin2 or fura-2. Resting [Ca2+]i was 110-140 and 85-120 nM for cell suspensions and monolayers, respectively. There were no significant differences in [Ca2+]i between the two macrophage populations whether quin2 or fura-2 were used as Ca2+ indicators. Addition of heat-aggregated IgG, IgG-coated erythrocyte ghosts, or a rat monoclonal antibody (2.4G2) directed against mouse Fc receptor II induced a rise in [Ca2+]i. This [Ca2+]i increase was consistently observed in J774 and peritoneal macrophage suspensions and in J774 macrophage monolayers; in contrast it was observed inconsistently in peritoneal macrophages in monolayer cultures. The increase in [Ca2+]i induced by ligation of Fc receptors was inhibited totally in macrophages in suspension and by 80% in macrophages in monolayers by a short preincubation of macrophages with PMA; however, phagocytosis itself was unaffected. The effect of reducing cytosolic Ca2+ to very low concentrations on Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis was also investigated. By incubating macrophages with high concentrations of quin2/AM in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, or by loading EGTA into the cytoplasm, the [Ca2+]i was buffered and clamped to 1-10 nM. Despite this, the phagocytosis of IgG-coated erythrocytes proceeded normally. These observations confirm the report of Young et al. (Young, J. D., S. S. Ko, and Z. A. Cohn. 1984. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 81:5430-5434) that ligation of Fc receptors causes Ca2+ mobilization in macrophages. However, these results confirm and extend the findings of McNeil et al. (McNeil, P. L., J. A. Swanson, S. D. Wright, S. C. Silverstein, and D. L. Taylor. 1986. J. Cell Biol. 102:1586-1592) that a rise in [Ca2+]i is not required for Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis; and they provide direct evidence that Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis occurs normally even at exceedingly low [Ca2+]i.

Abstract
Metabolic pathways involved in the activation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were characterized by using chemoattractants with equivalent chemotactic activity but widely disparate ability to stimulate superoxide production [N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) much greater than leukotriene B4]. Leukotriene B4 stimulated a low level of superoxide production that plateaued at 60 sec, whereas with fMet-Leu-Phe the response continued to increase for 5 min. Both agents produced equivalent initial rises in diacylglycerol (acyl2Gro) (less than or equal to 30 sec); however, only fMet-Leu-Phe induced a second increase of acyl2Gro peaking at ca. 120 sec. Both chemoattractants also caused an equivalent initial (less than or equal to 10 sec) rise in intracellular calcium; however, the elevation induced by fMet-Leu-Phe was more sustained. We sought to determine the biochemical mechanisms underlying these discrepancies. Superoxide production and the second phase of acyl2Gro generation were both inhibited ca. 56% by depleting extracellular calcium or ca. 79% by buffering intracellular calcium. Cytochalasin B greatly enhanced the respiratory burst, acyl2Gro production, and calcium influx, but not inositolphospholipid turnover in PMNs stimulated with chemoattractants. These data indicate that sequential metabolic pathways activate the respiratory burst in PMNs stimulated by chemoattractants. The response is initiated by inositolpolyphospholipid hydrolysis, which results in rapid (less than or equal to 5 sec) calcium mobilization from intracellular stores and acyl2Gro release (peak at ca. 30 sec). To fully activate the respiratory burst, the chemoattractant must also trigger calcium influx, which leads to a sustained cytosolic calcium elevation. This supports a prolonged new phase of acyl2Gro production that is independent of inositolphospholipid hydrolysis and is correlated with superoxide production.

Abstract
We have investigated the involvement of phospholipase C mediated polyphosphoinositide turnover in activation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes by particulate stimuli. Results showed that stimulation of leukocytes with serum opsonized zymosan (ingestible particle), serum opsonized Candida albicans hyphae (noningestible particle), or nonopsonized hyphae was followed by a transient rise in cellular inositol phosphates as has been described for neutrophil activation via the formyl peptide receptor. The kinetics of inositol trisphosphate generation paralleled both the time course of changes in cytosolic calcium concentration and the onset of superoxide anion generation, suggesting that these may be related events.

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
Sodium fluoride (20 mM) effected rapid hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2) in human neutrophils. Intracellular free Ca2+ levels increased after PIP2 hydrolysis but before respiratory burst activation. Both the increase in intracellular free Ca2+ levels and the extent of functional activation were dependent on the availability of extracellular Ca2+. The rate of F(-)-stimulated PIP2 hydrolysis, however, was not affected when the rise in cytosolic Ca2+ was severely limited by depletion of extracellular Ca2+. Fluoride caused the specific hydrolysis of PIP2 in isolated neutrophil plasma membranes. This effect occurred in the presence of low levels of available Ca2+ and was accompanied by the release of inositol phosphates. We conclude that PIP2 hydrolysis is an early event in the response of neutrophils to F-. This response is not Ca2+-regulated but may lead to an influx of Ca2+ from the extracellular medium. Activation of a PIP2-specific phospholipase independent of a change in cytosolic free Ca2+ levels may be the initial event in the stimulus-response pathway triggered by fluoride.

Abstract
Reports from a number of laboratories have shown that mAbs against the T3-Ti receptor complex cause an increase in cytosolic-free Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) and the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositolbisphosphate (PIP2) in CTLs. In the present report we show that activation of CTLs by their specific targets causes: (a) release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores; (b) transient formation of inositol trisphosphate (InsP3); and (c) an increased permeability to Ca2+ of CTL plasma membrane. Killing of unrelated targets could be induced by cocentrifugation of the unrelated targets with CTLs in the presence of A23187 or PMA. We conclude that: (a) activation of CTLs by specific antigens triggers the generation of the same intracellular mediators generated by stimulation of lymphocytes with anti-T3-Ti receptor antibodies and/or with polyclonal mitogens; and (b) intracellular signals that mediate the delivery of the lethal hit by CTLs are indistinguishable from those that induce cell proliferation.

Abstract
The distribution of nonmitochondrial Ca2+ pumping sites and the site of action of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins 1,4,5-P3) were studied in subcellular fractions of human neutrophils. In homogenates, two different Ca2+ pools could be observed: a mitochondrial Ca2+ pool and a nonmitochondrial, ATP-dependent, Ins 1,4,5-P3-responsive Ca2+ pool. When the homogenate was separated into microsomes, primary granules, and secondary granules, the nonmitochondrial Ca2+ pumping and the Ins 1,4,5-P3-induced Ca2+ release occurred only in the microsomal fraction. In a gradient developed to separate different microsomal organelles, maximal Ca2+ pumping activity occurred in fractions of low densities. Correlations between Ca2+ uptake and organelle markers were negative for the endoplasmic reticulum (r = -0.49) and positive for plasma membrane (r = 0.47), Golgi (r = 0.62), and endosomes (r = 0.96). Because the Ca2+ pumping organelles in these fractions were insensitive to micromolar vanadate and digitonin treatment, they are unlikely to be plasma membrane vesicles. We conclude first that microsomal fractions of human neutrophils contain organelles that lower the ambient free Ca2+ concentration and respond to Ins 1,4,5-P3. Second, granules are not involved in intracellular Ca2+ regulation in neutrophils. Third, nonendoplasmic reticulum organelles, such as endosomes, Golgi elements, or yet undefined specialized structures, play a major role in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis in human neutrophils.

Abstract
The dependence of phospholipase C activity on the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was studied in intact liver cells treated with the Ca2+-mobilizing hormone vasopressin, or not so treated. Phospholipase C (PLC) activity was estimated from the formation of [3H]inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) and the degradation of [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2). The [Ca2+]i of the cells was clamped from 29 to 1130 nM by quin2 loading. This wide concentration range was obtained by loading the hepatocytes with a high concentration of the Ca2+ indicator in low-Ca2+ medium or by using the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin in medium containing Ca2+. In resting cells, in which [Ca2+]i was 193 nM, treatment with 0.1 microM-vasopressin which stimulates liver PLC maximally, tripled InsP3 content and raised [Ca2+]i to 2 microM within 15 s. Lowering [Ca2+]i partially decreased cell InsP3 content as well as the ability of vasopressin to stimulate InsP3 formation maximally. At 29 nM, the lowest Ca2+ concentration obtained in isolated liver cells, basal InsP3 content was 64% of that measured in control cells. Addition of vasopressin no longer affected [Ca2+]i, but significantly increased InsP3 by 200%, although less than in the controls (300%). The maintenance of the greater part of the PLC response at constant [Ca2+]i indicated that, in the liver, InsP3 formation does not result from an increase in [Ca2+]i. The effects of lowering [Ca2+]i were reversible. When low cell [Ca2+]i was restored to a normal value, resting InsP3 content and the ability of vasopressin to stimulate InsP3 formation maximally by 300% were also restored. Raising [Ca2+]i from 193 to 1130 nM had little effect on the InsP3 content or the vasopressin-mediated increase in InsP3. In agreement with the stimulation of PLC activity by vasopressin, cell [3H]PtdInsP2 and total PtdInsP2 were degraded by application of this hormone for 15 s. In contrast, when [Ca2+]i was lowered to 29 nM, basal [3H]PtdInsP2 and total PtdInsP2 were increased by about 30%, [3H]PtdInsP2 was further increased by vasopressin, but total PtdInsP2 was not changed. These results show that, in intact hepatocytes, PLC is little affected by [Ca2+]i concentrations above 193 nM, but is partially dependent on Ca2+ below that value. They suggest that, in addition to activating PLC activity, vasopressin might stimulate PtdInsP2 synthesis, presumably via phosphatidylinositol-phosphate kinase, and that this pathway might predominate in cells with low [Ca2+]i.
