Abstract
Staphylococcal bi-component leukotoxins known as *pore-forming toxins* induce upon a specific binding to membrane receptors, two independent cellular events in human neutrophils. First, they provoke the opening of pre-existing specific ionic channels including Ca2+ channels. Then, they form membrane pores specific to monovalent cations leading to immune cells death. Among these leukotoxins, HlgC/HlgB and HlgA/HlgB γ-hemolysins do act in synergy to induce the opening of different types of Ca2+ channels in the absence as in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Here, we investigate the mechanism underlying the modulation of Ca2+-independent Ca2+ channels in response to both active leukotoxins in human neutrophils. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, the Mn2+ has been used as a Ca2+ surrogate to determine the activity of Ca2+-independent Ca2+ channels. Our findings provide new insights about different mechanisms involved in the staphylococcal γ-hemolysins activity to regulate three different types of Ca2+-independent Ca2+ channels. We conclude that (i) HlgC/HlgB stimulates the opening of La3+-sensitive Ca2+ channels, through a cholera toxin-sensitive G protein, (ii) HlgA/HlgB stimulates the opening of Ca2+ channels not sensitive to La3+, through a G protein-independent process, and (iii) unlike HlgA/HlgB, HlgC/HlgB toxins prevent the opening of a new type of Ca2+ channels by phosphorylation/de-phosphorylation-dependent mechanisms.

A role for protein kinase C in the regulation of membrane fluidity and Ca²(+) flux at the endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membranes of HEK293 and Jurkat cells. Cell Signal 2010; 23:497-505. [PMID: 21062642 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2010.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2010] [Revised: 10/19/2010] [Accepted: 11/02/2010] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) plays a prominent role in the regulation of a variety of cellular functions, including Ca²(+) signalling. In HEK293 and Jurkat cells, the Ca²(+) release and Ca²(+) uptake stimulated by several different activators were attenuated by activation of PKC with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) and potentiated by PKC inhibition with Gö6983 or knockdown of PKCα or PKCβ using shRNA. Immunostaining and Western blotting analyses revealed that PKCα and PKCβII accumulated at the plasma membrane (PM) and that these isoforms, along with PKCβI, also translocated to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) upon activation with PMA. Measurements of membrane fluidity showed that, like the cell membrane stabilizers bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ursodeoxycholate (UDCA), PMA and OAG significantly reduced the fluidity of both the PM and ER membranes; these effects were blocked in PKC-knockdown cells. Interestingly, both BSA and UDCA inhibited the Ca²(+) responses to agonists to the same extent as PMA, whereas Tween 20, which increases membrane fluidity, raised the internal Ca²(+) concentration. Thus, activation of PKC induces both translocation of PKC to the PM and ER membranes and downregulation of membrane fluidity, thereby negatively modulating Ca²(+) flux.

Calcium is required for coelomocyte activation in earthworms. Mol Immunol 2010; 47:2047-56.

Abstract
The role of calcium signaling in activation of both innate and adaptive immunity is basically important, however, the evolutionary aspects are not clarified yet. Currently limited data are available about calcium levels of coelomocytes, cellular mediators of earthworm immunity. We aimed to observe basal and induced Ca(2+) levels of coelomocyte subgroups after various stimulations in Eisenia fetida and Allolobophora caliginosa using a Ca(2+)-sensitive dye. E. fetida chloragocytes had the highest basal Ca(2+) levels among subpopulations; however there was no detectable Ca(2+) influx after any stimuli, while coelomocytes showed strong Ca(2+) increase after ionomycin treatment, which could be attenuated using phorbol ester. A. caliginosa coelomocytes showed a weak response to ionophore, while chloragocytes, similar to those in E. fetida, exhibited no changes after this stimulation. Intracellular calcium is mainly stored in the endoplasmic reticulum of coelomocytes as proved by thapsigargin treatments. Among several mitogens only phytohemagglutinin caused increased Ca(2+) level in E. fetida coelomocytes, but not in A. caliginosa coelomocytes. Moreover, the chemoattractant fMLP revealed calcium influx of Eisenia coelomocytes. For the first time we observed various basal Ca(2+) levels and sensibility to Ca(2+) influx inducers (including mitogens and chemoattractant) of coelomocyte subgroups using flow cytometry. These observations suggest that Ca(2+) influx and signal transduction may play crucial roles in the innate immunity of the earthworm.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the possible relationship between NADPH oxidase activity and changes in cytosolic Ca(2+) in response to different agonists. Treatment of neutrophils with leukotriene B4 (LTB(4)) demonstrated characteristic changes to cytoslic Ca(2+) yielding an EC(50) of 4nM. The pA(2) values for the specific LTB(4) receptor (BLT) antagonists, U-75302 and LY-255283 were 6.32 and 6.38, respectively. Similarly, neutrophils treated with N-formyl-l-methionyl-l-leucyl-l-phenylalanine (FMLP) and platelet activating factor (PAF) exhibited changes in cytoslic Ca(2+) in a dose dependant manner with pD(2) values of 9.0 and 9.9, respectively. The phorbol ester PMA prevented elevations in cytosolic Ca(2+) in response to LTB(4), FMLP and PAF with IC(50) values of 5.88, 1.44 and 5.71nM, respectively. In addition, potent NADPH oxidase inhibitors apocynin and diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) inhibited FMLP mediated cytosolic Ca(2+) release. These results demonstrate that inhibition of the NADPH oxidase suppresses cytosolic Ca(2+) release in FMLP activated human neutrophils.

Abstract
Inflammation has been reported to play an important role in cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass due to systemic endotoxemia. In order to develop strategies against this injury in future we studied the combined effect of a number of inflammatory mediators in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. Coronary sinus blood samples of ten patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) were obtained at three time intervals (1) before onset of bypass (2) 30 min after cross clamp, and (3) 10 min after removal of cross clamp. The samples were subjected to evaluate levels of nitric oxide byproducts (nitrite and nitrate and citrulline), inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-2, interferon-gamma and interleukin-6), adhesion molecules, (CD62L and CD54), ratio of cell surface markers (CD4/CD8 and TCRalphabeta/gammadelta) cell activation markers (CD69 and HLA DR) and second messengers (protein kinase C, inositol 1,4,5 triphosphate and intracellular calcium levels). Ischemia and further reperfusion resulted in significant rise in nitrite and nitrate levels (p < 0.001), interleukin-6 (p < 0.01), CD62L (p < 0.001), CD69 (p < 0.05), protein kinase C (p < 0.001) and intracellular calcium (p < 0.001). A fall in CD4/CD8 ratio was observed on reperfusion. These changes during CABG show that ischemia/reperfusion leads to a release of an array of pro-inflammatory mediators of tissue injury, which could lead to pathophysiological changes. Hence the study suggests the need of some protective therapies against these inflammatory markers.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) has been reported to be involved in myocardial self-preservation system. This study shows direct evidence of the effect of HSP70 on lymphocytes during ischemia and reperfusion in CABG (coronary artery bypass graft) surgery. Lymphocytes were separated from the blood obtained from 10 patients undergoing CABG at different time intervals. (i) Baseline samples (drawn before onset of bypass), (ii) ischemic samples (30 min after cross-clamp) and (iii) reperfusion samples (10 min after the cross clamp removal) were incubated with recombinant HSP70 and the cells were harvested after 36 h. The effect of HSP70 was monitored by measuring second messengers such as intracellular calcium, protein kinase C (PKC) and inositol triphosphate (IP3). In addition CD69 expression was also measured. The results showed a significant decrease in intracellular calcium and CD69 expression in ischemia and further in reperfusion samples as compared to their respective untriggered controls. PKC and IP3 levels however remained unaffected. The protective effect of HSP70 during ischemia and reperfusion could thus be attributed to decreasing intracellular calcium and CD69 expression. This study could therefore provide a mechanism of cardioprotection afforded by HSP70.

Abstract
Incubation of trophocytes from dissaggregated fat body of Periplaneta americana with either of the hypertrehalosemic hormones, HTH-I or HTH-II, leads to an increase in the cytosolic concentration of Ca(2+) from approximately 80 to approximately 310nM with a rise time of approximately 110s. The Ca(2+) concentration then declines to the resting level during the ensuing 5min. In the absence of extracellular Ca(2+) the increase in [Ca(2+)](i) due to HTH is limited to approximately 100nM. The calmodulin inhibitors calmidazolium and W-7 also limit to a similar degree the ability of HTH to increase [Ca(2+)](i). Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, an activator of protein kinase C, was shown to block Ca(2+) entry through the plasma membrane. Additional evidence to support the view that HTH enhances Ca(2+) influx has been obtained by measuring the quenching of fura-2 fluorescence when Ca(2+) is replaced with Mn(2+).

Abstract
The regulation of the increase in inositol phosphates (IPs) production and intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) by protein kinase C (PKC) was investigated in canine cultured tracheal epithelial cells (TECs). Pretreatment of TECs with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 1 microM) for 30 min attenuated the ATP- and UTP-induced IPs formation and Ca(2+) mobilization. The concentrations of PMA that gave half-maximal (EC(50)) inhibition of ATP- and UTP-induced IPs accumulation and an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) were 5-10 and 4-12 nM, respectively. Prior treatment of TECs with staurosporine (1 microM), a PKC inhibitor, partially inhibited the ability of PMA to attenuate ATP- and UTP-induced responses, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of PMA is mediated through the activation of PKC. Furthermore, analysis of cell extracts by Western blotting with antibodies against different PKC isozymes revealed that TECs expressed PKC-alpha, -betaI, -betaII, -gamma, -delta, -epsilon, -theta, and -zeta. With PMA treatment of the cells for various times, translocation of PKC-alpha, -betaI, -betaII, -gamma, -delta, -epsilon, and -theta from the cytosol to the membrane was seen after 5- and 30-min and 2- and 4-h treatment. However, 6-h treatment caused a partial down-regulation of these PKC isozymes. PKC-zeta was not significantly translocated and down-regulated at any of the times tested. In conclusion, these results suggest that activation of PKC may inhibit the phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis and consequently attenuate the [Ca(2+)](i) increase or inhibit independently both responses to ATP and UTP. The translocation of PKC-alpha, -betaI, -betaII, -delta, -epsilon, -gamma, and -theta induced by PMA caused an attenuation of ATP- and UTP-induced IPs accumulation and Ca(2+) mobilization in TECs.

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

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) channels (SOC) are expressed in cultured human mesangial cells and activated by epidermal growth factor through a pathway involving protein kinase C (PKC). We used fura-2 fluorescence and patch clamp experiments to determine the role of PKC in mediating the activation of SOC after depletion of internal stores by thapsigargin. The measurements of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) revealed that the thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) entry pathway was abolished by calphostin C, a protein kinase C inhibitor. The PKC activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), promoted a Ca(2+) influx that was significantly attenuated by calphostin C and La(3+) but not by diltiazem. Neither PMA nor calphostin C altered the thapsigargin-induced initial transient rise in [Ca(2+)](i). In cell-attached patch clamp experiments, the thapsigargin-induced activation of SOC was potentiated by PMA and abolished by both calphostin C and staurosporine. However, SOC was unaffected by thapsigargin when clamping [Ca(2+)](i) with 1,2-bis (o-Aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'tetraacetic acid tetra(acetoxymethyl)ester. In the absence of thapsigargin, PMA and phorbol 12, 13-didecanoate evoked a significant increase in NP(O) of SOC, whereas calphostin C did not affect base-line channel activity. In inside-out patches, SOC activity ran down immediately upon excision but was reactivated significantly after adding the catalytic subunit of 0.1 unit/ml of PKC plus 100 microm ATP. Neither ATP alone nor ATP with heat-inactivated PKC rescued a rundown of SOC. Metavanadate, a general protein phosphatase inhibitor, also enhanced SOC activity in inside-out patches. Bath [Ca(2+)] did not significantly affect the channel activity in inside-out patch. These results indicate that the depletion of Ca(2+) stores activates SOC by PKC-mediated phosphorylation of the channel proteins or a membrane-associated complex.

Abstract
Stimulation of (1-3)-beta-glucan receptors results in Ca(2+) influx through receptor-operated channels in alveolar macrophages (AMs), but the mechanism(s) regulating Ca(2+) influx is still undefined. In this study we investigated the role of protein kinase C (PKC) regulation of Ca(2+) influx in the NR8383 AM cell line using the particulate (1-3)-beta-glucan receptor agonist zymosan. PKC inhibition with calphostin C (CC) or bisindolymaleimide I (BSM) significantly reduced zymosan-induced Ca(2+) influx, whereas activation of PKC with phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or 1, 2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DOG) mimicked zymosan, inducing a concentration-dependent Ca(2+) influx. This influx was dependent on extracellular Ca(2+) and inhibited by the receptor-operated Ca(2+) channel blocker SK&F96365, indicating that zymosan and PKC activate Ca(2+) influx through a similar pathway. NR8383 AMs expressed one new PKC isoform (delta) and two atypical PKC isoforms (iota and lambda), but conventional PKC isoforms were not present. Stimulation with zymosan resulted in a translocation of PKC-delta from the cytosol to the membrane fraction. Furthermore, inhibition of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) with genistein prevented zymosan-stimulated Ca(2+) influx and PKC-delta translocation. These results suggest that PKC-delta plays a critical role in regulating (1-3)-beta-glucan receptor activated Ca(2+) influx in NR8383 AMs and PKC-delta translocation is possibly dependent on PTK activity.

Abstract
Regulation of the increase in inositol phosphate (IP) production and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i by protein kinase C (PKC) was investigated in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Pretreatment of VSMCs with phorbol 12-myristate 14-acetate (PMA, 1 microM) for 30 min almost abolished the BK-induced IP formation and Ca2+ mobilisation. This inhibition was reduced after incubating the cells with PMA for 4 h, and within 24 h the BK-induced responses were greater than those of control cells. The concentrations of PMA giving a half-maximal (pEC50) and maximal inhibition of BK induced an increase in [Ca2+]i, were 7.8 +/- 0.3 M and 1 microM, n = 8, respectively. Prior treatment of VSMCs with staurosporine (1 microM), a PKC inhibitor, inhibited the ability of PMA to attenuate BK-induced responses, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of PMA is mediated through the activation of PKC. Paralleling the effect of PMA on the BK-induced IP formation and Ca2+ mobilisation, the translocation and downregulation of PKC isozymes were determined by Western blotting with antibodies against different PKC isozymes. The results revealed that treatment of the cells with PMA for various times, translocation of PKC-alpha, betaI, betaII, delta, epsilon, and zeta isozymes from the cytosol to the membrane were seen after 5 min, 30 min, 2 h, and 4 h of treatment. However, 24-h treatment caused a partial downregulation of these PKC isozymes in both fractions. Treatment of VSMCs with 1 microM PMA for either 1 or 24 h did not significantly change the K(D) and Bmax of the BK receptor for binding (control: K(D) = 1.7 +/- 0.2 nM; Bmax = 47.3 +/- 4.4 fmol/mg protein), indicating that BK receptors are not a site for the inhibitory effect of PMA on BK-induced responses. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that translocation of PKC-alpha, betaI, betaII, delta, epsilon, and zeta induced by PMA caused an attenuation of BK-induced IPs accumulation and Ca2+ mobilisation in VSMCs.

Abstract
Regulation of the increase in inositol phosphates (IPs) production and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by protein kinase C (PKC) was investigated in cultured canine aorta smooth muscle cells (ASMCs). Stimulation of ASMCs by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) led to IPs formation and caused an initial transient [Ca2+]i peak followed by a sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment of ASMCs with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 30 min almost abolished the 5-HT-induced IPs formation and Ca2+ mobilization. This inhibition was reduced after long-term incubating the cells with PMA. Prior treatment of ASMCs with staurosporine or GF109203X, PKC inhibitors, inhibited the ability of PMA to attenuate 5-HT-induced responses, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of PMA is mediated through the activation of PKC. In parallel with the effect of PMA on the 5-HT-induced IP formation and Ca2+ mobilization, the translocation and down-regulation of PKC isozymes were determined by Western blotting with antibodies against different PKC isozymes. The results revealed that treatment of ASMCs with PMA for various times, translocation of PKC-alpha, betaI, betaII, delta, epsilon, theta, and zeta isozymes from the cytosol to the membrane was seen after 5-min, 30-min, 2-h, and 4-h treatment. However, 24-h treatment caused a partial down-regulation of these PKC isozymes. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that translocation of PKC-alpha, betaI, betaII, delta, epsilon, theta, and zeta induced by PMA caused an attenuation of 5-HT-induced IPs accumulation and Ca2+ mobilization in ASMCs.

Abstract
Proliferation, differentiation, and survival of erythroid progenitor cells are mainly regulated by stem cell factor (SCF) and erythropoietin (Epo). Using normal human progenitors, we analyzed the role of Ca2+-sensitive protein kinase C (PKC) subtypes and of G-protein–coupled receptor ligands on growth factor–dependent DNA synthesis. We show that stimulation of DNA synthesis by the two growth factors requires activation of PKC. Inhibitors of Ca2+-activated PKC subtypes blocked the growth factor–induced 3H-thymidine incorporation. SCF and Epo caused no significant translocation of PKC into the membrane, but treatment of intact cells with either of the two cytokines resulted in enhanced activity of immunoprecipitated cytosolic PKC. Stimulation of PKC with the phorbol ester PMA mimicked the cytokine effect on DNA synthesis. Epo-, SCF-, and PMA-induced thymidine incorporation was potently inhibited by thrombin (half-maximal inhibition with 0.1 U/mL). This effect was mediated via the G-protein-coupled thrombin receptor and the Rho guanosine triphosphatase. Adenosine diphosphate caused a modest Ca2+-dependent stimulation of DNA synthesis in the absence of cytokines and specifically enhanced the effect of SCF. Cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate exerted a selective inhibitory effect on Epo-stimulated thymidine incorporation. Our results define PKC as major intermediate effector of cytokine signaling and suggest a role for thrombin in controlling erythroid progenitor proliferation.

Abstract
1. Regulation of the increase in inositol phosphates (IPs) production and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i by protein kinase C (PKC) was investigated in canine cultured tracheal epithelial cells (TECs). Stimulation of TECs by bradykinin (BK) led to IPs formation and caused an initial transient [Ca2+]i peak in a concentration-dependent manner. 2. Pretreatment of TECs with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 1 microM) for 30 min attenuated the BK-induced IPs formation and Ca2+ mobilization. The maximal inhibition occurred after incubating the cells with PMA for 2 h. 3. The concentrations of PMA that gave half-maximal (pEC50) inhibition of BK-induced IPs accumulation and an increase in [Ca2+]i were 7.07 M and 7.11 M, respectively. Inactive phorbol ester, 4alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate at 1 microM, did not inhibit these responses. Prior treatment of TECs with staurosporine (1 microM), a PKC inhibitor, inhibited the ability of PMA to attenuate BK-induced responses, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of PMA is mediated through the activation of PKC. 4. In parallel with the effect of PMA on the BK-induced IPs formation and Ca2+ mobilization, the translocation and down-regulation of PKC isozymes were determined. Analysis of cell extracts by Western blotting with antibodies against different PKC isozymes revealed that TECs expressed PKC-alpha, betaI, betaII, gamma, delta, epsilon, theta and zeta. With PMA treatment of the cells for various times, translocation of PKC-alpha, betaI, betaII, gamma, delta, epsilon and theta from cytosol to the membrane was seen after 5 min, 30 min, 2 h, and 4 h treatment. However, 6 h treatment caused a partial down-regulation of these PKC isozymes. PKC-zeta was not significantly translocated and down-regulated at any of the times tested. 5. Treatment of TECs with 1 microM PMA for either 30 min or 6 h did not significantly change the KD, and Bmax receptor for BK binding (control: KD=1.7+/-0.3 nM; Bmax=50.5+/-4.9 fmol/mg protein), indicating that BK receptors are not a site for the inhibitory effect of PMA on BK-induced responses. 6. In conclusion, these results suggest that activation of PKC may inhibit the phosphoinositide hydrolysis and consequently attenuate the [Ca2+]i increase or inhibit independently both responses to BK. The translocation of pKC-alpha, betaI, betaII, delta, epsilon, gamma, and theta induced by PMA caused an attenuation of BK-induced IPs accumulation and Ca2+ mobilization in TECs.

Abstract
The early events of activation and cytokine profiles (IL-2, 4, and 6) were studied in lymphocytes of paucibacillary (TT/BT) and multibacillary (BL/LL) leprosy patients after stimulation with PMA/A23187 and Mycobacterium leprae antigen (PGL-1). Lymphocytes from BT/TT patients showed proliferation in response to both PMA/A23187 and PGL-1 compared to BL/LL. The levels of early activation signaling molecules such as IP3, calcium, and protein kinase C (PKC) in the particulate fraction were found to be elevated in BT/TT and BL/LL patients and showed a further significant increase after stimulation with PMA/A23187 in BT/TT patients. PGL-1 marginally increased the IP3 levels in BT/TT patients, whereas in BL/LL patients, it had no effect. The levels of IL-2 were enhanced in lymphocytes of BT/TT leprosy patients and were further augmented by PPD and PGL-1, while the levels of IL-4 and IL-6 were increased in LL/BL lymphocytes and further augmented by PGL-1. Thus PGL-1 seems to be a major culprit in inducing the TH2-type cytokine response observed in lepromatous leprosy patients.

Abstract
This work aimed to investigate the acute effect of the thyroid hormone 3,5,3'-tri-iodo-L-thyronine (T3) in regulating the hepatic metabolism either directly or by controlling the responsiveness to Ca2+-mobilizing agonists. We did not detect any acute metabolic effect of T3 either in perfused liver or in isolated liver cells. However, T3 exerted a powerful inhibitory effect on the alpha1-adrenoreceptor-mediated responses. The promptness of this T3 effect rules out that it was the result of rate changes in gene(s) transcription. T3 inhibited the alpha1-adrenoreceptor-mediated sustained stimulation of respiration and release of Ca2+ and H+, but not the glycogenolytic or gluconeogenic responses, in perfused liver. In isolated liver cells, T3 enhanced the alpha1-agonist-induced increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ and impeded the intracellular alkalinization. Since T3 also prevented the alpha1-adrenoreceptor-mediated activation of protein kinase C, its effects on pH seem to be the result of a lack of activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger. The failure of T3 to prevent the alpha1-adrenergic stimulation of gluconeogenesis despite the inhibition of protein kinase C activation indicates that the elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+ is a sufficient signal to elicit that response. T3 also impaired some of the angiotensin-II-mediated responses, but did not alter the effects of PMA on hepatic metabolism, indicating, therefore, that some postreceptor event is the target for T3 actions. The differential effect of T3 in enhancing the alpha1-adrenoreceptor-mediated increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ and preventing the activation of protein kinase C, provides a unique tool for further investigating the role of each branch of the signalling pathway in controlling the hepatic functions. Moreover, the low effective concentrations of T3 (<= 10 nM) in perturbing the alpha1-adrenoreceptor-mediated response suggests its physiological significance.

Abstract
Ca2+ entry through the capacitative (store-regulated) pathway was shown to be inhibited in neutrophil granulocytes by the protein kinase C activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and the chemoattractant N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) by a hitherto unknown mechanism. Measuring both Ca2+ and Mn2+ entry into store-depleted cells we show in the present study that inhibition of the capacitative pathway is absent in various forms of chronic granulomatous disease. To establish the possible relationship between inhibition of the capacitative pathway and ability of O-2 production and consequent membrane depolarization, gradual changes of the membrane potential were evoked in neutrophils of healthy individuals. This was accomplished by pharmacological manipulation of the membrane potential and by variations of the concentration and type of the stimulant. Close relationship was observed between membrane depolarization and inhibition of Mn2+ entry through the capacitative transport route. Our results provide an explanation for the inhibitory action of fMLP and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate on capacitative cation influx and reveal that upon physiological stimulation, Ca2+ entry into neutrophils is restricted by the depolarization accompanying O-2 production.

Abstract
The physiologically active form of vitamin D, 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3), induces promyelocytic HL60 cells to differentiate towards monocyte-like cells. During this differentiation increased cytosolic calcium (Cai2+) and expression of surface receptors for chemotactic factors "prime" the cell for the activation of monocyte functions and the triggering of the respiratory burst pathway. We examined whether the Ca2+ influx mediated by store-operated channels (SOC) contributed to the increased Cai2+ following exposure of HL60 cells to 10(-7) M 1,25D3. Cells treated with 1,25D3 for 72 hr demonstrated a rapid transient rise in Cai2+ followed by a second, phasic, increase in Cai2+ in response to the purinergic agonist ATP. This second Cai2+ transient was blocked by Ni2+, SKF 96365, or withdrawal of extracellular Ca2+. In cells suspended in Ca(2+)-free medium, peak changes (delta) in [Ca2+]i elicited by ATP-induced Ca2+ mobilization occurred with similar EC50 values in differentiated and vehicle (EtOH)-treated cells; however, peak [Ca2+]i was reduced by 55% in 1,25D3-treated cells. Decreased Ca2+ mobilization was associated with a 25-35% reduction in intracellular Ca2+ stores (determined with ionomycin). 1,25D3-treated cells exposed to ATP or thapsigargin (Tg) in Ca(2+)-free medium for 3 min with subsequent addition of 1 mM Ca2+ exhibited a respective 80% or 120% stimulation in peak [Ca2+]i compared to EtOH-treated cells. Enhanced Ca2+ influx mediated by SOC was also seen in these cells as an increase in the rate of Mn2+ entry after exposure to ATP or Tg. At 96 hr after addition of 1,25D3, when differentiated phenotype was established, basal Ca2+i and Ca2+ entry mediated by SOC returned to control values, but Ca2+ store size remained reduced. Up-regulation of Ca2+ influx via the SOC pathway during 1,25D3-induced differentiation may contribute to the functional properties of the maturing monocyte, or to the resetting of molecular programs responsible for the changing phenotype.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP increases intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in HL-60 cells. When cells are stimulated with supramaximal concentrations of ATP, although the initial [Ca2+]i increase is similar over a range of 30, 100, and 300 microM ATP, the rate of the return to basal [Ca2+]i level is faster in cells treated with higher concentrations of ATP. This probably results from differences in Ca2+ influx rather than Ca2+ release, since the influx of the unidirectional Ca2+ surrogates Ba2+ and Mn2+ also exhibit similar responses. Furthermore, while 300 microM ATP had an inhibitory effect on the thapsigargin-induced capacitative Ca2+ entry, 30 microM ATP potentiated the response. However, the inhibitory action of 300 microM ATP was blocked by protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors, such as GF 109203X and chelerythrine, and the potentiating action of 30 microM ATP was blocked by protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitors H89 and Rp-cAMPS. The PKC inhibitors also slowed the decay rate of the Ca2+ response induced by 300 microM ATP, and the PKA inhibitors increased it when induced by 30 microM ATP. In the measurements of PKA and PKC activity, 30 microM ATP activates only PKA, while 300 microM ATP activates both kinases. Taken together, these data suggest that the changes in the ATP-induced Ca2+ response result from differential modulation of ATP-induced capacitative Ca2+ entry by PKC and PKA in HL-60 cells.

Abstract
1. Regulation of the increase in inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) production and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i by protein kinase C (PKC) was investigated in canine cultured tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs). Stimulation of TSMCs by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) caused an initial transient [Ca2+]i peak followed by a sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. 2. Pretreatment of TSMCs with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 1 microM) for 30 min blocked the 5-HT-induced IP3 formation and Ca2+ mobilization. This inhibition was reduced after the cells had been incubated with PMA for 8 h, and within 48 h the 5-HT-induced Ca2+ mobilization reached the same extent as control cells. 3. The concentration of PMA that gave half-maximal inhibition of 5-HT-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was 4 nM. Pretreatment of TSMCs with staurosporine (1 microM) of GF109203X (0.1 microM), PKC inhibitors, inhibited the ability of PMA to attenuate 5-HT-induced responses, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of PMA was mediated through the activation of PKC. 4. In parallel with the effect of PMA on 5-HT-induced IP3 formation and Ca2+ mobilization, the translocation and down-regulation of PKC isozymes were determined by Western blot analysis in TSMCs. Analysis of cell extracts by Western blotting with antibodies against different PKC isozymes revealed that TSMCs expressed PKC-alpha, beta I, beta II, delta, epsilon, theta and zeta. With PMA treatment of the cells for various times, translocation of PKC-alpha, beta I, beta II, delta, epsilon, and theta from the cytosol to the membrane was seen after 5 min, 30 min, 2 h, and 4 h treatment. However, 24 h treatment caused a partial down-regulation of these PKC isozymes PKC-zeta was not significantly translocated and down-regulated at any of the times tested. 5. In conclusion, these results suggest that activation of PKC may inhibit the receptor-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis and consequently attenuate the [Ca2+]i increase or inhibit both responses independently. The translocation of PKC-alpha, beta I, beta II, delta, epsilon, and theta induced by PMA caused an attenuation of 5-HT-stimulated IP3 accumulation and Ca2+ mobilization in TSMCs.

Abstract
We investigated the cross-talk between the histamine and ATP receptors in HL-60 human promyelocytes. While both histamine and extracellular ATP increase intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) we found that histamine treatment causes a decrease in the subsequent ATP-induced Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and Ca2+ influx from extracellular space. In addition, histamine also inhibited the subsequent ATP-induced inositol 1.4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) generation in a manner comparable to the Ca2+ release. However, histamine did not inhibit thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ release and influx, thus indicating that histamine does not directly inhibit the Ca2+ release-activated channel (CRAC). Ca2+ elevation induced by 2'- and 3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl) ATP (BzATP), which does not produce IP3, was also inhibited by treatment with histamine, suggesting the presence of ATP-gated channels that are regulated by histamine. Treatment with dibutyryl cAMP or 8-bromo-cAMP inhibited the subsequent ATP-induced response similar to histamine. Moreover, the incubation of cells with N-[2-(p-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (H89), a protein kinase A inhibitor abolished histamine's inhibitory effect on the ATP-induced [Ca2+]i rise and IP3 formation. These results suggest that histamine inhibits both ATP-induced IP3 production and ATP-activated channel opening, through protein kinase A activation.

Abstract
Linoleic and oleic acid anilides profoundly inhibited the production of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) induced by a tumor promoter, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). The addition of a Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, or a chemotactic peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP), readily reversed linoleic and oleic acid anilide-induced inhibiton of PMA-evoked respiratory burst in PMNL without affecting PMA-induced respiratory burst. fMLP or A23187 caused a marked increase in the production of ROM in PMNL that did not produce ROM after their co-exposure to PMA and cis-fatty acid anilides. This suggests a role for Ca2+ in this restoration of respiratory burst activity in PMNL. Oleic and linoleic acid anilides enhanced also respiratory burst in PMNL subsequent to their stimulation with fMLP. Interestingly, corresponding fatty acids, linoleic and oleic acid, also inhibited PMA-induced production of ROM in PMNL, but this inhibition was not reversed by A23187 or fMLP. These findings suggest that the aniline moiety of cis-fatty acids significantly modifies the effects of linoleic and oleic acids in the production of ROM in PMNL. Moreover, free intracellular Ca2+ may play a critical role in the activation of PMNL to produce ROM, and in the modulation of the effects of cis-fatty acid anilides.

Abstract
The present study in purified rat Leydig cells shows that arachidonic acid may act as an intratesticular factor regulating LH-mediated testicular steroidogenesis. Arachidonic acid decreased, in a dose-dependent manner, the LH-stimulated cAMP and testosterone levels, over 2 h incubation. Incubation of Leydig cells with arachidonic acid did not modify 125I-hCG binding to the cells as compared to control, showing that the action of arachidonic acid is not related to a decrease of hCG binding to the cells. Forskolin-stimulated cAMP and testosterone production were inhibited by 51.65 and 70.9%, respectively, in the presence of arachidonic acid (100 microM), although the ED50 for the diterpene was not changed. When isobutyl-methyl-xanthine was added to the incubation medium, the same percentage of inhibition was found indicating that arachidonic acid inhibition of cAMP production is not due to stimulation of Leydig cell phosphodiesterase activity. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin, to inactivate Gi, was also without effect on arachidonic acid inhibition of LH-stimulated cAMP production, but pertussis toxin abolished the inhibitory effects of arachidonic acid when adenylate cyclase was stimulated with forskolin. However, arachidonic acid addition resulted in inhibition of LH- and forskolin-stimulated testosterone production, even if the cells were pretreated with pertussis toxin. It can be concluded that: (1) The inhibitory effect of arachidonic acid is neither due to a decrease of hCG binding to Leydig cells nor to a stimulation of cell phosphodiesterase activity; (2) arachidonic acid modulates cAMP production at two different levels, either by activation of Gi protein and by inhibition of Gs protein or adenylate cyclase; (3) the effect of arachidonic acid on steroidogenesis is also beyond cAMP formation.

Abstract
The effect of prostaglandins on neutrophil activation has been studied using the human promyelocytic leukemic cell line HL-60, differentiated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) directly stimulated HL-60 cell aggregation with an EC(50) value of 30 nM. Studies with prostanoid receptor-selective agonists suggest that the activation of HL-60 cells by PGE(2) was mediated via the EP(2) receptor. Human neutrophils did not aggregate in response to PGE(2), but PGE(2) inhibited the N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)-stimulated increase in intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)i]) in both neutrophils and HL-60 cells. In contrast with the aggregation response to FMLP the aggregation response of HL-60 cells to PGE(2) was independent of extracellular calcium and did not involve mobilization of intracellular calcium.

Abstract
1. HL-60 human leukemia cells are a widely employed model system for the analysis of signal transduction processes mediated via regulatory heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins). HL-60 promyelocytes are pluripotent and can be differentiated into neutrophilic or monocytic cells. 2. HL-60 cells express formyl peptide-, complement C5a-, leukotriene B4 (LTB4)- and platelet-activating factor receptors, receptors for purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, histamine H1- and H2-receptors, beta 2-adrenoceptors and prostaglandin receptors. 3. The major G-proteins in HL-60 cells are pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive Gi-proteins (Gi2 > Gi3). Gs-proteins and G-proteins of the Gq-family (e.g., G16) are expressed, too. 4. G-protein-regulated effector systems in HL-60 cells are adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C-beta 2 (PLC-beta 2) and, possibly, phospholipase D (PLD), nonselective cation (NSC) channels and NADPH oxidase. 5. The expression of signal transduction pathways in HL-60 cells strongly depends on the differentiation state of cells. 6. Formyl peptides, via Gi-proteins, mediate activation of PLC, PLD, NSC channels, NADPH oxidase and azurophilic granule release and are referred to as full secretagogues. In dibutyryl cAMP (Bt2cAMP)-differentiated HL-60 cells, C5a and LTB4 are partial and incomplete secretagogues, respectively. There are substantial differences in the Gi-protein activations induced by formyl peptides, C5a and LTB4. 7. In HL-60 promyelocytes, purine and pyrimidine nucleotides mediate activation of PLC and NSC channels largely via PTX-insensitive G-proteins and induce functional differentiation. In Bt2cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells, they additionally activate PLD, NADPH oxidase and granule release via PTX-sensitive and -insensitive pathways. ATP and UTP are partial secretagogues. Multiple types of receptors (i.e., P2Y- and P2U-receptors and pyrimidinocyeptors) may mediate the effects of nucleotides in HL-60 cells. 8. Bt2cAMP- and 1 alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol-differentiated HL-60 cells express H1-receptors coupled to Gi-proteins and PTX-insensitive G-proteins. In the former cells, histamine mediates activation of PLC and NSC channels, and in the latter, activation of NSC channels. Histamine is an incomplete secretagogue in these cells. 9. HL-60 promyelocytes express H2-receptors coupled to adenylyl cyclase, PLC, and NSC channels. There are substantial differences in the agonist/antagonist profiles of H2-receptor-mediated cAMP formation and rises in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, indicative of the involvement of different H2-receptor subtypes. H2-receptors mediate functional differentiation of HL-60 cells. 10. Certain cationic-amphiphilic histamine receptor ligands (i.e., 2-substituted histamines, lipophilic guanidines, and a histamine trifluoromethyl-toluidide derivative) show stimulatory effects in HL-60 cells that are attributable to receptor-independent activation of Gi-proteins.

Abstract
Although protein kinase C (PKC) activation has been shown to inhibit Ca2+ influx in T lymphocytes, the role of PKC on Ca2+ sequestration or extrusion processes has not been fully explored. We examined the effect of CD3 stimulation and PKC activators on cytosolic Ca2+ (Ca2+i) extrusion and 45Ca2+ efflux in human leukemic Jurkat T cells. Treatment of Fura-2 loaded cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or thymeleatoxin (THYM) resulted in a decrease in Ca2+i both in the presence and absence of extracellular Ca2+, whereas inactive phorbol esters had no effect. PKC activators added at the peak of a Ca2+i transient induced by anti-CD3 mAb, ionomycin or thapsigargin (TG) stimulated the rate and extent of return of Ca2+i to basal levels by 17-53%. PKC stimulation of the Ca2+i decline was not enhanced by the presence of Na+, indicating that PKC activators increase Ca2+ pump activity rather than a Na+/Ca2+ exchange mechanism. As CD3 receptor activation enhanced the Ca2+i decline in TG-treated cells, antigen-mediated activation of phospholipase C (PLC) signaling includes enhanced Ca2+ extrusion at the plasma membrane. The effect of PKC activators on parameters of Ca2+i extrusion were further explored. PMA significantly increased the rate of Ca2+ extrusion in TG-treated cells from 0.28 +/- 0.02 to 0.35 +/- 0.03 s-1 (mean +/- SEM) and stimulated the initial rate of 45Ca2+ efflux by 69% compared to inactive phorbol ester treated cells. The effects of PKC activation on the Ca2+i decline were eliminated by PKC inhibitors, PKC down regulation (24 h PMA pretreatment), ATP-depletion and conditions that inhibited the Ca2+ pump. In contrast, pretreatment of cells with okadaic acid enhanced the PMA-stimulated response. We suggest that Jurkat T cells contain a PKC-sensitive Ca2+ extrusion mechanism likely to be the Ca2+ pump. In lymphocytes, receptor/PLC-linked PKC activation modulates Ca2+i not only by inhibiting Ca2+ influx but also by stimulating plasma membrane Ca2+i extrusion.

Abstract
Regulation of the increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) production and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by protein kinase C (PKC) was investigated in cultured canine tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs). Stimulation of TSMCs by bradykinin (BK) led to IP3 formation and caused an initial transient peak followed by a sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment of TSMCs with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 1 microM) for 30 min blocked the BK-induced IP3 formation and Ca2+ mobilization. However, this inhibition was reduced after incubating the cells for 4 h with PMA. Inactive phorbol ester, 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate at 1 microM, did not inhibit these responses to BK. Prior treatment with staurosporine (1 microM), a PKC inhibitor, inhibited the effect of PMA on the BK-induced response, suggesting that the effect of PMA is mediated by the activation of PKC. In parallel experiments, a change of PKC activity was observed. PMA rapidly decreased PKC activity in the cytosol of TSMCs, while increasing it transiently in the cell membranes within 30 min. Thereafter the membrane-associated PKC activity decreased and persisted for at least 24 h of PMA treatment. Moreover, treatment with 1 microM PMA for 2 and 24 h did not significantly change the KD and Bmax of the BK receptor for [H]BK binding (control: KD = 2.3 +/- 0.3 nM, Bmax = 25.2 +/- 1.4 fmol/mg protein). These results suggest that activation of PKC inhibit IP3 accumulation and consequently attenuate [Ca2+]i increase or inhibit independently both responses. The PMA-induced inhibition of responses to BK was associated with an increase in membranous PKC activity.

Abstract
Regulation of the increases in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) production and intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) by activation of protein kinase C (PKC) was investigated in cultured canine tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs). Stimulation of TSMCs by carbachol led to IP(3) formation and caused an initial transient peak of [Ca(2+)](i) followed by a sustained elevation in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment of TSMCs with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 1 &mgr;M) for 30 min blocked the carbachol-induced IP(3) formation and Ca(2+) mobilization. Following preincubation, carbachol-induced Ca(2+) mobilization recovered within 24 h. The concentrations of PMA that gave half-maximal inhibition of carbachol-induced IP(3) formation and increase in [Ca(2+)](i) were 7 and 4 nM, respectively. Prior treatment of TSMCs with staurosporine (1 &mgr;M), a PKC inhibitor, inhibited the ability of PMA to attenuate carbachol-induced responses. Inactive phorbol ester, 4alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate at 1 &mgr;M, did not inhibit these responses to carbachol. The K(d) and B(max) of the muscarinic receptor for [(3)H]N-methylscopolamine binding were not significantly changed by PMA treatment. PMA also decreased PKC activity in the cytosol of TSMCs, while increasing it transiently in the membranes within 30 min. Thereafter, the membrane-associated PKC activity decreased and persisted for at least 24 h of PMA treatment. Taken together, these results suggest that activation of PKC may inhibit phosphoinositide hydrolysis and consequently attenuate the [Ca(2+)](i) increase or inhibit both responses independently. The inhibition by PMA of carbachol-induced responses was inversely correlated with membranous PKC activity. Copyright 1995 S. Karger AG, Basel

Abstract
Regulation of the increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) production and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by protein kinase C (PKC) was investigated in cultured canine tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs). Stimulation of TSMCs by endothelin-1 (ET-1) led to IP3 formation and caused an initial transient peak followed by a sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment of TSMCs with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 1 microM) for 30 min blocked the ET-1-induced IP3 formation and Ca2+ mobilization. However, this inhibition was reduced after incubating the cells for 8 h with PMA. Following preincubation, ET-1-induced Ca2+ mobilization recovered with time and reached the same extent of control cells within 48 h. The concentrations of PMA that gave half-maximal inhibition (-logEC50) of ET-1-induced IP3 formation and increase in [Ca2+]i were 8.6 and 8.4 M, respectively. Prior treatment of TSMCs with staurosporine (1 microM), a PKC inhibitor, inhibited the ability of PMA to attenuate ET-1-induced responses, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of PMA is mediated through the activation of PKC. In parallel with the effect of PMA on the ET-1-induced IP3 formation and Ca2+ mobilization, a change of PKC activity was observed in TSMCs. PMA rapidly decreased PKC activity in the cytosol of TSMCs, while increasing it transiently in the membranes within 30 min. Thereafter the membrane-associated PKC activity decreased and persisted for at least 24 h of PMA treatment. Taken together, these results suggest that activation of PKC may inhibit the phosphoinositide hydrolysis and consequently attenuate the [Ca2+]i increase or inhibit independently both responses. The PMA-induced inhibition of responses to ET-1 was associated with an increase in membranous PKC activity.

Abstract
The mechanism of Ca2+ entry after ligand binding to receptors on the surface of non-excitable cells is a current focus of interest. Considerable attention has been given to Ca2+ influx induced by emptying of intracellular pools. Thapsigargin, an inhibitor of microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase, is an important tool in inducing store-regulated Ca2+ influx. In the present paper we show that, at concentrations above 500 nM, thapsigargin also has an opposite effect: it inhibits store-regulated Ca2+ influx into Fura-2-loaded human neutrophil granulocytes. As thapsigargin has been frequently applied at concentrations up to 2 microM, its inhibitory action on plasma-membrane Ca2+ fluxes deserves consideration.

Abstract
The interplay between Ca2+ efflux mechanisms of the plasma membrane (PM) and transient changes of the cytosolic concentration of ionized calcium ([Ca2+]i) was studied in suspensions of human neutrophils loaded with the [Ca2+]i indicator, Fura-2. To reveal Ca2+ efflux through PM the interference of intracellular Ca stores was prevented by preincubating the cells in the presence of EGTA, thapsigargin, and ionomycin. Addition of econazole prevented varying entry of divalent cations regulated by the filling state of Ca stores. The preincubation seemed to empty and permeabilize virtually all Ca stores, ensuring that the monitored changes of [Ca2+]i were caused exclusively by PM Ca2+ transporters. Following preincubation, the addition of CaCl2 induced, mediated by ionomycin, a transient rise of [Ca2+]i, a spike, eventually decreasing to an intermediary [Ca2+]i level. The ATP-dependent decrease of [Ca2+]i terminating the spike was abolished by the calmodulin antagonist, N-(6-aminohexyl)-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7), but not by the protein kinase C inhibitor, staurosporine, nor by Na(+)-free medium, suggesting that neither activity of protein kinase C nor Na+/Ca2+ exchange was necessary for generation of the Ca2+ spike. In conclusion, the PM Ca2+ pump was responsible for the Ca2+ spike by responding to the rapid rise of [Ca2+]i by a delayed activation, possibly involving calmodulin. This characteristic feature of the PM pump may be important for the generation of cellular [Ca2+]i spikes in general.

Abstract
When human neutrophils were incubated in the presence of the protein phosphatase inhibitors calyculin A or okadaic acid, the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) produced a sustained (> 5 min) inhibition of the Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF) or by leukotriene B4 (LTB4). No effect on Ca2+ mobilization by PAF or LTB4 was observed 2 min after the addition of fMLP alone or only in the presence of phosphatase inhibitors, but a similar inhibition was produced by high (> 50 nM) concentrations of phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB). However, inhibition by PDB was sensitive to the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors staurosporin and Ro 31-8220, while inhibition by fMLP and calyculin A was not. These results suggest that fMLP induces a transient phosphorylation not mediated by PKC which interferes at some point with the transduction pathway leading from the plasma membrane receptors for PAF and LTB4 to the release of Ca2+ from the stores. Protein phosphatases 1 and/or 2A revert the inhibition effected by fMLP within less than 2 min. PAF and LTB4 were also able to activate this mechanism to a smaller extent. Phosphatase inhibitors also delayed by 1-2 s the start of agonist-induced rises in [Ca2+]i, and this delay was further increased by previous addition of any other agonist. Finally, given that both phosphatase inhibitors and low concentrations of PDB (2-10 nM) strongly inhibit Ca2+ entry, we conclude that phosphorylation down-regulates both agonist-induced Ca2+ entry and Ca2+ mobilization, but with different potency.

Abstract
During chemotaxis large eosinophils from newts exhibit a gradient of [Ca2+]i from rear to front. The direction of the gradient changes on relocation of the chemoattractant source, suggesting that the Ca2+ signal may trigger the cytoskeletal reorganization required for cell reorientation during chemotaxis. The initial stimulatory effect of chemoattractant on [Ca2+]i and the opposite orientations of the intracellular Ca2+ gradient and the external stimulus gradient suggest that more than one chemoattractant-sensitive messenger pathway may be responsible for the generation of spatially graded Ca2+ signals. To identify these messengers, Ca2+ changes were measured in single live cells stimulated with spatially uniform chemoattractant. On stimulation spatially averaged [Ca2+]i increased rapidly from < or = 100 nM to > or = 400 nM and was accompanied by formation of lamellipods. Subsequently cells flattened, polarized and crawled, and [Ca2+]i fluctuated around a mean value of approximately 200 nM. The initial Ca2+ spike was insensitive acutely to removal of extracellular Ca2+ but was abolished by treatments expected to deplete internal Ca2+ stores and by blocking receptors for inositol-trisphosphate, indicating that it is produced by discharge of internal stores, at least some of which are sensitive to InsP3. Activators of protein kinase C (PKC) (diacyl glycerol and phorbol ester) induced flattening and lamellipod activity and suppressed the Ca2+ spike, while cells injected with PKC inhibitors (an inhibitory peptide and low concentrations of heparin-like compounds) produced an enhanced Ca2+ spike on stimulation. Although cell flattening and lamellipod activity were induced by chemoattractant when the normal Ca2+ response was blocked, cells failed to polarize and crawl, indicating that Ca2+ homeostasis is required for these processes. We conclude that InsP3 acting on Ca2+ stores and DAG acting via PKC regulate chemoattractant-induced changes in [Ca2+]i, which in turn control polarization and locomotion. We propose that differences in the spatial distributions of InsP3 and DAG resulting from their respective hydrophilic and lipophilic properties may change Ca2+ distribution in response to stimulus reorientation, enabling the cell to follow the stimulus.

Abstract
1. The effects of various prostanoid agonists have been compared on the increase in intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) and the aggregation reaction of rat peritoneal neutrophils induced by N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (FMLP). 2. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and the specific IP-receptor agonist, cicaprost, both inhibited the FMLP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i (IC50 33 nM and 18 nM respectively) and the FMLP-induced aggregation reaction (IC50 5.6 nM and 7.9 nM respectively). PGD2, PGF2 alpha, and the TP-receptor agonist, U 46619, were inactive at the highest concentration tested (1 microM). 3. The EP1-receptor agonist, 17-phenyl-omega-trinor PGE2, and the EP3-receptor agonists, GR 63799X and sulprostone, had no inhibitory effect on FMLP-stimulated rat neutrophils. 4. PGE1 (EP/IP-receptor agonist) and iloprost (IP-receptor agonist) inhibited the FMLP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i with IC50 values of 34 nM and 38 nM respectively. The EP2-receptor agonists, butaprost and misoprostol (1 microM), inhibited both FMLP-stimulated [Ca2+]i and aggregation. However another EP2-receptor agonist, AH 13205, was inactive in both assays. 5. Prostanoid receptors present on rat neutrophils were further characterized by measuring [3H]-adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate ([3H]-cyclic AMP) accumulation. Only those agonists capable of stimulating [3H]-cyclic AMP accumulation were able to inhibit both FMLP-stimulated [Ca2+]i and aggregation. 6. These results indicate that rat neutrophils possess inhibitory IP and EP-receptors; the relative potencies of PGE2, misoprostol and butaprost are those expected for the EP2-receptor subtype. No evidence for DP, FP, TP or EP1 and EP3-receptors was obtained.

Abstract
In cultured canine tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs), muscarinic receptor stimulation led to phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis, formation of inositol phosphates (IPs), and mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. Desensitization of IPs accumulation and Ca2+ mobilization evoked by carbachol was investigated using [3H]inositol labelling and Ca(2+)-sensitive dye fura-2. Treatment of TSMCs with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 30 min blocked the carbachol-stimulated formation of IPs and mobilization of Ca2+. The concentrations of PMA that gave half-maximal and maximal inhibition of carbachol-induced IPs accumulation were 70 nM and 1 microM, respectively. The inhibitory effect of PMA on carbachol-induced responses was reversed by staurosporine, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of PMA was mediated through the activation of PKC. Treatment of TSMCs with PMA for 24 h, the cells remained the ability to response to carbachol-induced IPs accumulation and Ca2+ mobilization with the same extent as that observed in the control group. Inactive phorbol ester, 4 alpha-phorbol 12, 13-didecanoate at 1 microM, did not inhibit the responses. The KD and Bmax of the muscarinic receptor for [3H]N-methyl scopolamine binding were not significantly changed by PMA treatment for either 30 min or 24 h. The locus of this inhibition was further investigated by examining the effect of PMA on AlF4(-)-stimulated IPs accumulation in canine TSMCs. AlF4(-)-induced response was inhibited by PMA treatment, supporting that G protein(s) can be directly activated by AlF4- which was uncoupled to phospholipase C (PLC) by PMA treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
In fura-2-loaded ECV304 cells ionomycin elicited a saturable biphasic change in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), where the initial phase represented mobilization of intracellular stores and the sustained component represented Ca2+ influx. To examine whether ionomycin could stimulate influx via a store-dependent mechanism. Mn2+ entry was monitored by the quenching of fura-2 fluorescence: influx was enhanced even after ionomycin wash-out, provided that internal stores were not refilled with Ca2+. Moreover, the maximal rate of histamine-stimulated Mn2+ entry was unaffected by ionomycin, suggesting a common route of entry. The Ca(2+)-entry blocker SK&F 96365 inhibited both the ionomycin-induced Mn2+ entry and the sustained [Ca2+]i response to the ionophore (leaving the initial peak [Ca2+]i response unaffected). In other experiments, although addition of ionomycin further increased the plateau phase induced by 100 microM histamine, the increase was completely abolished by pretreatment with the store Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). Furthermore, in store-depleted cells, re-addition of 1 mM extracellular Ca2+ (in the presence of CPA plus histamine) led to a rapid rise in [Ca2+]i, dependent on Ca2+ influx, with kinetics that were not enhanced by ionomycin. These data suggest that ionomycin acts primarily at the level of the internal Ca2+ stores, so that, at the concentrations used here (< or = 1 microM), it increases Ca2+ (and Mn2+) influx via activation of endogenous entry pathways and not by plasmalemmal translocation.

Abstract
Treatment of rat parotid acinar cells with 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) significantly inhibited an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) induced by carbachol (CCh), a muscarinic agonist. The CCh-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was also inhibited by another active phorbol ester, 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, but not by 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, which does not activate protein kinase C. The treatment with PMA had no effect on increases in [Ca2+]i evoked by ionomycin and thapsigargin, which do not stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis. In contrast, an increase in [Ca2+]i induced by NaF, a direct activator of GTP-binding proteins, was delayed in the presence of PMA. The formation of inositol phosphates in response to CCh was suppressed significantly by PMA treatment. In radioligand binding assays, PMA did not directly interfere with the specific binding of [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB), a muscarinic antagonist, to plasma membranes. Furthermore, the [3H]QNB binding to plasma membranes prepared from the PMA-pretreated cells was not different from that to the control membranes. These results indicate that PMA attenuated the CCh-induced increase in [Ca2+]i through inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Activation of protein kinase C may play a role in negative-feedback control of the muscarinic pathway in rat parotid acinar cells.

Abstract
1. It is not known to what extent the emptying of intracellular Ca2+ stores participates in the mediation of chemoattractant-induced Ca2+ influx in human neutrophils. To study this question, we compared the properties of bivalent-cation influx in response to the chemoattractant N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenyl-alanine (f-MLP) and to the microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin. 2. The influx pathway activated by f-MLP and thapsigargin had identical properties of permeation. Mn2+ influx became saturated at around 1 mM extracellular Mn2+, whereas Ca2+ influx did not become saturated up to concentrations of 10 mM. 3. The influx of the two bivalent cations, Mn2+ and Ca2+, was activated to a similar extent and with identical kinetics of activation. 4. The Mn2+ influx activated by f-MLP and thapsigargin was blocked, with identical dose-inhibition curves, by four imidazole analogues. 5. The same relationship between the emptying of Ca2+ stores and bivalent-cation influx was observed for f-MLP and thapsigargin, with a half-maximal activation of the influx at 40% emptying of intracellular stores. 6. In conclusion, neutrophils possess a single type of Ca(2+)-influx pathway that is activated by receptor agonists and by store depletion. Receptor agonists activate this influx pathway to a large extent, if not completely, through the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores.

Abstract
By virtue of their biological simplicity and widespread availability, platelets frequently have been used as a model system to study signal transduction. Such studies have revealed that changes in intracellular free calcium concentration are central to platelet functioning. The following article reviews current concepts of platelet structure and function, with particular emphasis on the mechanisms involved in platelet Ca2+ signalling.

Abstract
Regulations of the increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) production by increasing intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels or activating protein kinase C (PKC) were studied in rat frontocortical cultured neurons. Amitriptyline (AMI; 1 mM), a tricyclic antidepressant, and bradykinin (BK; 1 microM) stimulated IP3 production and caused transient [Ca2+]i increases. Pretreatment with forskolin (100 microM, 15 min) decreased the AMI- and BK-induced [Ca2+]i increases by 33 and 48%, respectively. However, this treatment had no effect on the AMI- and BK-induced IP3 productions. Dibutyryl-cAMP (2 mM, 15 min) also decreased the AMI- and BK-induced [Ca2+]i increases by 23 and 47%, respectively. H-8 (30 microM), an inhibitor of protein kinase A (PKA), attenuated the ability of forskolin to inhibit the AMI- and BK-induced [Ca2+]i increases, suggesting that the activation of cAMP/PKA was involved in these inhibitory effects of forskolin. On the other hand, forskolin treatment had no effect on 20 mM caffeine-, 10 microM glutamate-, or 50 mM K(+)-induced [Ca2+]i increases. Pretreatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 100 nM, 90 min) decreased both the AMI-induced [Ca2+]i increases and the IP3 production by 31 and 25%, respectively. H-7 (200 microM), an inhibitor of PKC, inhibited the ability of PMA to attenuate the [Ca2+]i increases. PMA also inhibited the BK-induced IP3 production and the [Ca2+]i increases.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The macrophages and neutrophils from nifedipine-treated mice, both Plasmodium berghei-infected and uninfected, showed suppressed capacity to generate oxygen free radicals as compared with untreated controls. Nifedipine treatment did not affect resting state free calcium levels in these cells. But the rise in intracellular calcium levels of macrophages and neutrophils following P. berghei infection was significantly less (P < 0.05) in nifedipine-treated mice as compared with untreated groups at various parasitaemia levels. Probably this reflects a more potent effect of nifedipine on these cells in the depolarized state. Similarly, the rise in intracellular calcium levels of these cells following formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) stimulation was also significantly less in nifedipine-treated groups than in untreated controls at different parasitaemia levels. A positive correlation between this fMLP-stimulated rise in calcium levels and the chemiluminescence response of macrophages and neutrophils was observed in nifedipine-treated and untreated groups at various parasitaemia levels. Thus the respiratory-burst responses of these cells during P. berghei infection depend on the calcium homeostasis in the cells. The disturbances of the calcium-regulating mechanisms by nifedipine treatment resulted in subnormal phagocytic cell responses which lead to more severe and rapidly fatal P. berghei infection in these animals.

Abstract
In this paper we have shown that calphostin C can alone activate phospholipase A2 and induce homotypic aggregation of human neutrophils. Calphostin C stimulated the formation of [3H] platelet-activating factor (PAF) and [14C]arachidonic acid (AA) in prelabeled cells in a time-and concentration-dependent fashion. No significant elevation of intracellular [Ca2+] over the basal level was observed, suggesting a mechanism independent of [Cai2+]. In addition, neutrophil aggregation induced by 500 nM calphostin C was slightly inhibited by PAF antagonist BN 50739 but not by WEB 2086, a less potent PAF antagonist. Also, mepacrine, a phospholipase A2 inhibitor and nordihydroguaretic acid (NDGA), a lipoxygenase inhibitor, were unable to inhibit calphostin C-induced neutrophil aggregation. This suggests a dissociation between PLA2 activation and aggregation by calphostin C in human neutrophils.

Abstract
Receptor-mediated Ca2+ entry was investigated in fura-2-loaded thyroid FRTL-5 cells. Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) attenuated the ATP-induced increase in intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i). In PKC down-regulated cells, the ATP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was increased compared with control cells. This enhanced increase in [Ca2+]i was apparently dependent on extracellular Ca2+, as no difference was observed between control cells and PKC down-regulated cells in Ca(2+)-free buffer. Addition of Ca2+ to cells stimulated with ATP in Ca(2+)-free buffer rapidly increased [Ca2+]i. The increase was blocked by PMA. However, PKC down-regulation had no effect on the [Ca2+]i response. Stimulating FRTL-5 cells with thapsigargin increased [Ca2+]i. Addition of ATP after thapsigargin had almost no effect on [Ca2+]i. In PKC down-regulated cells, addition of ATP after thapsigargin evoked a substantial increase in [Ca2+]i which was dependent on extracellular Ca2+. The results indicate that PKC has a modulatory effect on the ATP-induced entry of Ca2+ in FRTL-5 cells.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) and exocytosis of human neutrophils were investigated with patch-clamp capacitance and Fura-2 fluorescence measurements. Intracellular application of GTP gamma S induces a calcium transient and exocytosis. The onset of degranulation occurs at the time where the maximal [Ca2+]i is reached. Despite the close correlation in time, buffering [Ca2+]i at the resting level or at approximately 2 microM leaves the extent and the time course of degranulation unchanged. The decay of the calcium transient is due to diffusional equilibration between the cytosol and the pipette volume. GTP gamma S activates no cellular mechanisms for Ca2+ reuptake or extrusion. The endogenous calcium buffer capacity can be estimated to be as low as that of approximately 90 microM Fura-2. Stimulation with fMLP also induces degranulation and a calcium transient. The decay of fMLP-induced calcium transients is much faster than that of GTP gamma S-induced transients and is independent of diffusion indicating that fMLP also induces rapid reuptake or extrusion of Ca2+. Degranulation but not the calcium transient requires the presence of intracellular GTP. Different signalling pathways appear to be involved in GTP gamma S- and fMLP-stimulated calcium signals. The intracellular calcium release is not an essential signal to initiate exocytosis in neutrophils.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the regulation of calcium influx in thyroid FRTL-5 cells. Stimulating Fura 2-loaded cells with thapsigargin rapidly increased the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), which then stabilized at a new elevated plateau level. The initial increase in [Ca2+]i consisted mainly of the release of sequestered Ca2+. The plateau phase was totally dependent on extracellular Ca2+. The influx of Ca2+ was blocked by Ni2+ and was decreased in depolarized cells. The importance of protein kinase C in regulating influx of Ca2+ was then evaluated. Addition of the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate prior to thapsigargin significantly decreased the influx of extracellular Ca2+. Studies with bisoxonol to measure membrane potential showed that TPA depolarized the plasma membrane in FRTL-5 cells. In cells where protein kinase C was downregulated or was inhibited by staurosporine, the thapsigargin-induced influx of Ca2+ was enhanced. The results indicate that emptying intracellular Ca2+ pools is sufficient to induce influx of Ca2+ in FRTL-5 cells, and that protein kinase C has a modulatory effect on this process.

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
In human neutrophils, the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMLP) induces increases in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) with subsequent activation of beta-glucuronidase release and superoxide (O2-) production. Results from several laboratories suggest that the increase in [Ca2+]i is due to activation of non-selective cation (NSC) channels. We studied the biophysical characteristics, pharmacological modulation and functional role of NSC channels in dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt2cAMP)-differentiated HL-60 cells. fMLP increased [Ca2+]i by release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and influx of Ca2+ from the extracellular space. fMLP also induced Mn2+ influx. Ca2+ and Mn2+ influxes were inhibited by 1-(beta-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propoxy]-4-methoxyphenethyl)-1H-imidazole hydrochloride (SK&F 96365). Under whole-cell voltage-clamp conditions, fMLP and ATP (a purinoceptor agonist) activated inward currents characterized by a linear current-voltage relationship and a reversal potential near 0 mV. NSC channels were substantially more permeable to Na+ than to Ca2+. SK&F 96365 inhibited fMLP- and ATP-stimulated currents with a half-maximal effect at about 3 microM. Pertussis toxin prevented stimulation by fMLP of NSC currents and reduced ATP-stimulated currents by about 80%. Intracellular application of the stable GDP analogue, guanosine 5'-O-[2-thio]diphosphate, completely blocked stimulation by agonists of NSC currents. In excised inside-out patches, single channel openings with an amplitude of 0.24 pA were observed in the presence of fMLP and the GTP analogue, guanosine 5'-O-[3-thio]triphosphate. The bath solution contained neither Ca2+ nor ATP. The current/voltage relationship was linear with a conductance of 4-5 pS and reversed at about 0 mV. fMLP-induced beta-glucuronidase release and O2- production were substantially reduced by replacement of extracellular CaCl2 or NaCl by ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)tetra-acetic acid and choline chloride respectively. In the absence of Ca2+ and Na+, fMLP was ineffective. SK&F 96365 inhibited fMLP-induced beta-glucuronidase release and O2- production in the presence of both Ca2+ and Na+, and in the presence of Ca2+ or Na+ alone. NaCl (25-50 mM) enhanced the basal and absolute extent of fMLP-stimulated GTP hydrolysis of heterotrimeric regulatory G-proteins in HL-60 membranes. The order of effectiveness of salts in enhancing GTP hydrolysis was LiCl > KCl > NaCl > choline chloride.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
