Abstract
Myeloproliferative disorders are associated with increased risk of thrombosis and vascular complications. The pathogenesis of these complications is not completely known. Reactive oxygen species produced by the neutrophil NADPH oxidase could have a role in this process. The aim of this study was to evaluate reactive oxygen species production by neutrophils of myeloproliferative disorder patients. Patients with or without the JAK2 V617F mutation were characterized. Reactive oxygen species production was assessed by chemiluminescence, and phosphorylation of the NADPH oxidase subunit p47phox was analyzed by Western blots. In a comparison of controls and myeloproliferative disorder patients without the JAK2 V617F mutation, reactive oxygen species production by neutrophils from patients with the JAK2 V617F mutation was dramatically increased in non-stimulated and in stimulated conditions. This increase was associated with increased phosphorylation of the p47phox on Ser345 and of the uspstream kinase ERK1/2. In neutrophils from healthy donors, JAK2 can be activated by GM-CSF. GM-CSF-induced p47phox phosphorylation and priming of reactive oxygen species production are inhibited by the selective JAK2 inhibitors AG490 and lestaurtinib (CEP-701), supporting a role for JAK2 in the upregulation of NADPH oxidase activation. These findings show an increase in reactive oxygen species production and p47phox phosphorylation in neutrophils from myeloproliferative disorder patients with the JAK2 V617F mutation, and demonstrate that JAK2 is involved in GM-CSF-induced NADPH oxidase hyperactivation. As neutrophil hyperactivation could be implicated in the thrombophilic status of patients with myeloproliferative disorders, aberrant activation of JAK2 V617F, leading to excessive neutrophil reactive oxygen species production might play a role in this setting.

Abstract
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) play an essential role in host defense against bacteria and fungi through coordinated responses such as adhesion, migration, phagocytosis, secretion, and activation of the NADPH oxidase. The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and their activation kinase cascades, which transduce signals from the plasma membrane to the cytosol and nucleus, are an integral part of signaling pathways involved in many cellular responses. PMN express several members of the MAPK family that have been shown, mainly through the use of pharmacological inhibitors, to mediate the cellular activities triggered by a variety of extracellular agonists. Methods to determine MAPK activation have been greatly simplified with the availability of antibodies raised to active MAPKs. The recent development of novel inhibitors for the MAPK pathways may further our understanding of their role in neutrophil function.

Abstract
Neutrophil NADPH oxidase plays a key role in host defense and in inflammation by releasing large amounts of superoxide and other ROSs. Proinflammatory cytokines such as GM-CSF and TNF-alpha prime ROS production by neutrophils through unknown mechanisms. Here we used peptide sequencing by tandem mass spectrometry to show that GM-CSF and TNF-alpha induce phosphorylation of Ser345 on p47phox, a cytosolic component of NADPH oxidase, in human neutrophils. As Ser345 is located in the MAPK consensus sequence, we tested the effects of MAPK inhibitors. Inhibitors of the ERK1/2 pathway abrogated GM-CSF-induced phosphorylation of Ser345, while p38 MAPK inhibitor abrogated TNF-alpha-induced phosphorylation of Ser345. Transfection of HL-60 cells with a mutated p47phox (S345A) inhibited GM-CSF- and TNF-alpha-induced priming of ROS production. This event was also inhibited in neutrophils by a cell-permeable peptide containing a TAT-p47phox-Ser345 sequence. Furthermore, ROS generation, p47phox-Ser345 phosphorylation, and ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation were increased in synovial neutrophils from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and TAT-Ser345 peptide inhibited ROS production by these primed neutrophils. This study therefore identifies convergent MAPK pathways on Ser345 that are involved in GM-CSF- and TNF-alpha-induced priming of neutrophils and are activated in RA. Inhibition of the point of convergence of these pathways might serve as a novel antiinflammatory strategy.

Abstract
Deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), the principal deoxynucleoside salvage enzyme, plays a seminal role in the bioactivation of a wide array of cytotoxic nucleoside analogues. Recently, activation of dCK has been considered as a protective cellular response to a number of DNA-damaging agents in lymphocytes. Regarding the molecular mechanism of the enzyme activation, a post-translational modification by protein phosphorylation has been suggested. Here we provide evidence that both the activation process and the maintenance of the activated state require free cytosolic calcium. BAPTA-AM, a cell-permeable calcium chelator selectively inhibited the activation of dCK in a time- and concentration-dependent manner while extracellular calcium depletion had no effect. On the other hand, elevation of cytoplasmic calcium levels by thapsigargin did not potentiate the enzyme, referring to the permissive function of calcium in the activation process. Denaturing Western blots of extracts from lymphocytes incubated with 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine, aphidicolin and/or BAPTA-AM clearly demonstrated that dCK protein levels were unchanged during these treatments. However, a striking correlation was found between enzyme activity and the intensity of dCK-specific signals in native Western blots. Extracts from CdA-treated cells were much better recognized by the antibody raised against the C-terminal peptide of dCK than the BAPTA-AM-treated samples. These results indicate that the calcium-dependent activation of dCK is accompanied by a conformational change that renders the C-terminal epitope more accessible to the antibody.

Abstract
1. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is known to stimulate a variety of neutrophil activities, including chemotaxis, phagocytosis, degranulation, reactive oxygen species production and intracellular pH increase. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of PAF on pH((i)), specifically if these changes in pH are the result of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway activation in bovine neutrophils. 2. PAF caused intracellular alkalinization in 2',7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein acetoxymethyl ester-loaded bovine neutrophils. This phenomenon seems to be mediated by amiloride-sensitive Na(+)/H(+) exchange, and is inhibited by WEB2086 (a selective PAF receptor antagonist), genistein (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor), wortmannin and LY294002 (PI3K inhibitors), and PD98059 and UO126 (MEK inhibitors). 3. PAF 100 nm induced an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins 62, 44 and 21 kDa with a maximum response at 2 min of incubation. 4. Unlike human neutrophils, bovine neutrophils are strongly stimulated by PAF via phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (extracellular-signal-regulated protein kinase) with an EC(50) of 30 and 13 nm, respectively. 5. PAF MAPK activation was also inhibited by WEB2086, pertussis toxin (PTX), genistein, wortmannin, LY294002, PD98059 and UO126 in bovine neutrophils. The ERK1/2 activation is dependent on PI3K pathway, because protein kinase B was phosphorylated by PAF and inhibited by wortmannin and LY294002, but not by U0126. 6. Our results suggest that PAF induces intracellular alkalinization via PI3K-MAPK activation. This effect is upstream regulated by PAF receptor, PTX-sensitive G protein, tyrosine kinase, PI3K and MEK1/2 in bovine neutrophils.

Abstract
We report here for the first time that the specific MAPK kinase (MEK) inhibitor, PD-98059, completely knocked out granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-stimulated MAPK activity but also partially inactivated the ribosomal kinase p70S6K. Since a connection between the two major signaling pathways, Ras/MEK/MAPK and PI3-K/p70S6K was suspected, experiments were designed to prove a molecular crosstalk between those. First, p70S6K protein could be co-immunoprecipitated with anti-MAPK antibodies, MAPK protein was similarly present in anti-p70S6K immunoprecipitates, indicating close spatial proximity of both signaling molecules. Second, p70S6K enzymatic activity was found in anti-MAPK immunoprecipitates and MAPK in anti-p70S6K immunoprecipitates, being the latter activity higher in samples derived from GM-CSF-treated cells. Since an upstream activator of p70S6K, phosphatidylinositol (PI)3-kinase, has been associated to cell movement in phagocytic cells, we studied a possible participation of p70S6K in chemotaxis and whether MAPK had an input. Our data show that functional chemotaxis was inhibited by rapamycin, a specific p70S6K inhibitor, as well as by PD-98059. Thus, a connection between these two kinases extends from the molecular level to cell migration, a key functionality in non-proliferative, mature phagocytes such as neutrophils.

Abstract
In heart tissue from mice lacking the intermediate filament (IF) desmin, mitochondria show an abnormal shape and distribution (Thornell et al., 1997). In the present study we have isolated heart mitochondria from desmin null (D-/-) and control (D+/+) mice, and analyzed their composition by SDS-PAGE, immunoblotting, and enzyme measurements. We found both in vitro and in situ that the conventional kinesin, the microtubule-associated plus-end directed motor, was frequently associated with D+/+ heart mitochondria, but not with D-/- heart mitochondria, suggesting that the positioning of mitochondria in heart is a dynamic event involving the IF desmin, the molecular motor kinesin, and, most likely, the microtubules (MT) network. Furthermore, an increased capacity in energy production was found, as indicated by a threefold higher creatine kinase activity in heart mitochondria from D-/- compared to D+/+ mice. We also observed a significantly lower amount of cytochrome c in heart mitochondria from D-/- mice, and a relocalization of Bcl-2, which may indicate an apoptotic condition in the cell leading to the earlier reported pathological events, such as cardiomyocytes degeneration and calcinosis of the heart (Thornell et al., 1997).

Abstract
Ribosomal p90rsk is a kinase of central importance in transducing mitogenic signals from an activated receptor to the cell nucleus and for protein synthesis. Here, we analyze the optimal steps to fully describe this kinase in both normal neutrophils and leukemic cell lines. These are: (i) immunological analyses (immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation); (ii) enzyme activity assays (in vitro and "in-gel"); and (iii) immunobiochemical combination methods (immunoprecipitation/kinase assay, immunoprecipitation/"in-gel" assay and ion exchange chromatography/immunoblotting). For the enzyme assays, we describe a novel method to measure ribosomal p90rsk kinase activity "in-gel", based on a renatured-protein method that allows for the direct quantitation of enzyme activity. Finally, we present an algorithm that can be readily implemented to the quantification of the extent of stimulation of a kinase in response to a particular extracellular stimuli. In our case, it was found that activation of p90rsk was higher in proliferating leukemic cells than in mature neutrophils, indicating that a suppression of key signal transduction links could contribute to the maturational arrest typical of acute leukemia. All the techniques and strategies described here for p90rsk could be easily extrapolated to the study of any signal transduction molecule, provided it has a phosphotransferase activity.

Abstract
Neutrophils exposed to low concentrations of gram-negative lipopolysaccharide (LPS) become primed and have an increased oxidative response to a second stimulus (e.g., formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine [fMLP]). In studies aimed at understanding newborn sepsis, we have shown that neutrophils of newborns are not primed in response to LPS. To further understand the processes involved in LPS-mediated priming of neutrophils, we explored the role of extracellular signal-related protein kinases (ERK 1 and 2) of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family. We found that LPS activated ERK 1 and 2 in cells of both adults and newborns and that activation was plasma dependent (maximal at > or =5%) through LPS-binding protein. Although fibronectin in plasma is required for LPS-mediated priming of neutrophils of adults assessed by fMLP-triggered oxidative burst, it was not required for LPS-mediated activation of ERK 1 and 2. LPS-mediated activation was dose and time dependent; maximal activation occurred with approximately 5 ng of LPS per ml and at 10 to 40 min. We used the inhibitor PD 98059 to study the role of ERK 1 and 2 in the LPS-primed fMLP-triggered oxidative burst. While Western blotting showed that 100 microM PD 98059 completely inhibited LPS-mediated ERK activation, oxidative response to fMLP by a chemiluminescence assay revealed that the same concentration inhibited the LPS-primed oxidative burst by only 40%. We conclude that in neutrophils, LPS-mediated activation of ERK 1 and 2 requires plasma and that this activation is not dependent on fibronectin. In addition, we found that the ERK pathway is not responsible for the lack of LPS priming in neutrophils of newborns but may be required for 40% of the LPS-primed fMLP-triggered oxidative burst in cells of adults.

Abstract
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) isoform p42 is known to be active in exponentially growing cells at several points of the cell cycle. A high basal activity was present in three cell lines representative of immature myeloid cells tested: uHL-60, AML-14, and MPD. However, DMSO-induced differentiation of HL-60 cells (dHL-60) and subsequent expression of the neutrophilic phenotype occurred with a concomitant reduction on the basal level of MAPK activity. Simultaneously, extracellular stimuli like the cytokine granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induced a fast (<10 min) and robust response. In terms of MAPK activity, the more mature the cell was, the higher the corresponding activity, in the three differentiation series considered: AML-14 < 3D10; MPD < G-MPD; uHL-60 < dHL-60 < neutrophils. Interestingly, peripheral blood neutrophils expressed the highest (16-fold) MAPK activation level in response to GM-CSF. Finally, using the specific MAPK inhibitor PD-98059, we demonstrated that MAPK activation is needed for neutrophil chemotaxis toward interleukin-8 and its priming by GM-CSF. Since neutrophils are terminally differentiated cells, GM-CSF does not serve a purpose in proliferation, and it must trigger the recruitment of selective signal transduction pathways particular to that final stage that includes enhanced physiological functions such as chemotaxis.

Abstract
The small guanosine triphosphate (GTPase) p21rac is highly expressed in human neutrophils where it is thought to play a role in cytoskeletal reorganization and superoxide production. Using the p21rac binding domain of PAK (PAK-RBD) as an activation-specific probe, we have investigated agonist-stimulated activation of p21rac. Stimulation of neutrophils with the chemoattractants fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP) or platelet-activating factor (PAF) induced an extremely rapid and transient p21rac activation, being optimal within 5 seconds. This activation correlates with the rapid changes of intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) stimulated by fMLP; however, changes in [Ca2+]i were neither sufficient nor required for p21rac activation. Furthermore, fMLP-induced p21rac activation was not inhibited by broad tyrosine kinase inhibitors or specific inhibitors of ERK, p38 mitogen activated protein kinase, Src, or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases. Surprisingly, the cytokines granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and tumor necrosis factor- did not cause p21rac activation or modulate fMLP-induced p21rac activation. AlF−, a potent activator of heterotrimeric G-protein -subunits, however, was found to activate p21rac. Stimulation of neutrophils with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) strongly activated the respiratory burst, but did not induce p21rac activation, suggesting that superoxide production per se can occur independently of p21rac activation. These data suggest that in human granulocytes, G-protein coupled receptors, but not cytokine receptors, activate p21rac via a rapid, novel exchange-mechanism independently of changes in [Ca2+]i, tyrosine phosphorylation, or PI3K.

Abstract
Neutrophil superoxide production can be potentiated by prior exposure to "priming" agents such as granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Because the mechanism underlying GM-CSF-dependent priming is not understood, we investigated the effects of GM-CSF on the phosphorylation of the cytosolic NADPH oxidase components p47(phox) and p67(phox). Preincubation of neutrophils with GM-CSF alone increased the phosphorylation of p47(phox) but not that of p67(phox). Addition of formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) to GM-CSF-pretreated neutrophils resulted in more intense phosphorylation of p47(phox) than with GM-CSF alone and fMLP alone. GM-CSF-induced p47(phox) phosphorylation was time- and concentration-dependent and ran parallel to the priming effect of GM-CSF on superoxide production. Two-dimensional tryptic peptide mapping of p47(phox) showed that GM-CSF induced phosphorylation of one major peptide. fMLP alone induced phosphorylation of several peptides, an effect enhanced by GM-CSF pretreatment. In contrast to fMLP and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, GM-CSF-induced phosphorylation of p47(phox) was not inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitor GF109203X. The protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin inhibited the phosphorylation of p47(phox) induced by GM-CSF and by fMLP but not that induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. GM-CSF alone did not induce p47(phox) or p67(phox) translocation to the membrane, but neutrophils treated consecutively with GM-CSF and fMLP showed an increase (compared with fMLP alone) in membrane translocation of p47(phox) and p67(phox). Taken together, these results show that the priming action of GM-CSF on the neutrophil respiratory burst involves partial phosphorylation of p47(phox) on specific serines and suggest the involvement of a priming pathway regulated by protein-tyrosine kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.

Abstract
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin (IL) -3 induced tyrosine phosphorylation of 92-kDa protein in normal human monocytes. We identified this 92-kDa protein as STAT5, but not as STATs1, 3, and 6 nor c-fes and vav protooncogene products, and demonstrated its translocation to the nucleus, enhancement of specific DNA binding capacity, and potentiation of trancriptional activity by GM-CSF. N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) induced tyrosine phosphorylation of 42- and 44-kDa proteins, which were identified as extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), in human monocytes. In marked contrast to neutrophils and MO7e cells, GM-CSF did not induce tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of ERK in monocytes. Among upstream signaling molecules of ERK, Shc was constitutively associated with Grb2 and was not tyrosine-phosphorylated by GM-CSF and FMLP, and Sos1 and c-Raf-1 were not phosphorylated by GM-CSF, IL-3, TNF, and FMLP in monocytes, whereas all these signaling molecules were affected and/or utilized by GM-CSF in MO7e cells. In contrast to neutrophils, p38 was constitutively phosphorylated and agonist-dependent phosphorylation and activation was not detected in human monocytes. Superoxide release stimulated by FMLP was inhibited partially by PD98059 or SB203580, a specific inhibitor of ERK or p38 pathway, and was almost completely inhibited by the combination of both inhibitors, whereas PMA-induced superoxide release was resistant to these two inhibitors in monocytes. PD98059 inhibited GM-CSF-dependent proliferation of MO7e cells. Present results indicate trancriptional roles of STAT5 and functional roles of ERK and/or p38 in normal human monocytes stimulated by physiological receptor-mediated agonists GM-CSF and FMLP. Possible roles of ERK in proliferation of transformed cells were also suggested.

Abstract
The receptors for the I1-3/IL-5/GM-CSF cytokine family are composed of a heterodimeric complex of a cytokine-specific alpha chain and a common beta chain (betac). Binding of IL-3/IL-5/GM-CSF to their respective receptors rapidly induces activation of multiple intracellular signalling pathways, including the Ras-Raf-ERK, the JAK/STAT, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase PKB, and the JNK/SAPK and p38 signalling pathways. This review focuses on recent advancements in understanding how these different signalling pathways are activated by IL-3/IL-5/GM-CSF receptors, and how the individual pathways contribute to the pleiotropic effects of IL-3/IL-5/GM-CSF on their target cells, including proliferation, differentiation, survival, and effector functions.

Abstract
The role of the mammalian phospholipase D (PLD) in the control of key cellular responses has been recognised for a long time, but only recently have there been the reagents to properly study this very important enzyme in the signalling pathways, linking cell agonists with intracellular targets. With the recent cloning of PLD isoenzymes, their association with low-molecular-weight G proteins, protein kinase C and tyrosine kinases, the availability of antibodies and an understanding of the role of PLD product, phosphatidic acid (PA), in cell physiology, the field is gaining momentum. In this review, we will explore the molecular properties of mammalian PLD and its gene(s), the complexity of this enzyme regulation and the myriad physiological roles for PLD and PA and related metabolic products, with particular emphasis on a role in the activation of NADPH oxidase, or respiratory burst, leading to the generation of oxygen radicals.

Abstract
Abstract
Exposure of neutrophils to inflammatory stimuli such as the chemoattractant FMLP leads to activation of responses including cell motility, the oxidative burst, and secretion of proteolytic enzymes. A signaling cascade involving sequential activation of Raf-1, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK), and extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) is also rapidly activated after agonist exposure. The temporal relationship between these events suggests that the kinases may be involved in triggering the effector functions, but direct evidence of a causal relationship is lacking. To assess the role of the MEK/ERK pathway in the activation of neutrophil responses, we studied the effects of PD098059, a potent and selective inhibitor of MEK. Preincubation of human neutrophils with 50 μM PD098059 almost completely (>90%) inhibited the FMLP-induced activation of MEK-1 and MEK-2, the isoforms expressed by neutrophils. This dose of PD098059 virtually abrogated chemoattractant-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of ERK-1 and ERK-2, implying that MEKs are the predominant upstream activators of these mitogen-activated protein kinases. Pretreatment of neutrophils with the MEK antagonist inhibited the oxidative burst substantially and phagocytosis only moderately. In addition, PD098059 antagonized the delay of apoptosis induced by exposure to granulocyte-macrophage CSF. However, the effects of PD098059 were selective, as it failed to inhibit other responses, including chemoattractant-induced exocytosis of primary and secondary granules, polymerization of F-actin, chemotaxis, or activation of phospholipase A2. We conclude that MEK and ERK contribute to the activation of the oxidative burst and phagocytosis, and participate in cytokine regulation of apoptosis.

Abstract
Although it is known that many stimuli can activate mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K) in human neutrophils, little is known concerning either the mechanisms or function of this activation. We have utilized a selective inhibitor of MAPK kinase (MEK), PD098059, and two inhibitors of PI3K, wortmannin and LY294002, to investigate the roles of these kinases in the regulation of neutrophil effector functions. Granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor, platelet-activating factor (PAF) and N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine are capable of activating both p44ERK1 and p42ERK2 MAPKs and phosphotyrosine-associated PI3K in human neutrophils. The activation of extracellular signal-related protein kinases (ERKs) is correlated with the activation of p21ras by both tyrosine kinase and G-protein-coupled receptors as measured by a novel assay for GTP loading. Wortmannin and LY294002 inhibit, to various degrees, superoxide generation, neutrophil migration and PAF release. Incubation with PD098059, however, inhibits only the PAF release stimulated by serum-treated zymosan. This demonstrates that, while neither MEK nor ERK kinases are involved in the activation of respiratory burst or neutrophil migration, inhibition of PAF release suggests a potential role in the activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2. PI3K isoforms, however, seem to have a much wider role in regulating neutrophil functioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Margination of circulating neutrophils (PMN) into the gastric microcirculation is an early and critical event in the pathogenesis of non-steroidal antinflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced gastropathy. This effect is mediated through the upregulation of beta 2 integrins on the PMN surface. AIMS To investigate whether indomethacin modulates: (1) Mac-1 expression; (2) Ca2+ mobilization ([Ca2+]i), protein kinase C and nitric oxide accumulation; and (3) mitogen-associated protein kinase phosphorylation in human PMN. METHODS Human PMN were isolated by centrifugation through a double Ficoll gradient. [Ca2+]i was measured in PMN loaded with fura-2 and Mac-1 expression by flow cytometry. RESULTS Indomethacin caused a concentration- and time-dependent upregulation of CD11b and CD18 expression and PMN adhesion to endothelial cells. Maximal upregulation of Mac-1 expression (40-50%) occurred after a 30-min incubation with 0.1mM indomethacin. The effect was prevented by removing the Ca2+. Ionomycin and thapsigargin caused a 7-10-fold increase in [Ca2+]i and a 2-4-fold increase in Mac-1 expression. Indomethacin induced a concentration-dependent phosphorylation of a 41-kDa mitogen-associated protein kinase. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors prevented the effect of indomethacin on Mac-1 expression and Ca2+ mobilization. Indomethacin and ionomycin increased superoxide generation, myeloperoxidase secretion and PMN adherence to endothelial cells and stimulated nitric oxide production. Indomethacin-induced Mac-1 upregulation was prevented by a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS Indomethacin-induced upregulation of Mac-1 is mediated by changes in [Ca2+]i and nitric oxide. Phosphorylation of the 41-kDa mitogen-associated protein isoform is a previously unreported target of NSAID action. These effects might help to explain the ability of indomethacin to cause gastric neutrophil margination.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) (CD54) is an adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The interaction between ICAM-1 on B lymphocytes and leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 on T cells plays a major role in several aspects of the immune response, including T-dependent B cell activation. While it was originally believed that ICAM-1 played a purely adhesive role, recent evidence suggests that it can itself transduce biochemical signals. We demonstrate that cross-linking of ICAM-1 results in the up-regulation of class II major histocompatibility complex, and we investigate the biochemical mechanism for the signaling role of ICAM-1. We show that cross-linking of ICAM-1 on the B lymphoma line A20 induces an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular proteins, including the Src family kinase p53/p56(lyn). In vitro kinase assays showed that Lyn kinase was activated within 1 min after ICAM-1 cross-linking. In addition, ICAM-1 cross-linking resulted in activation of Raf-1 and mitogen-activated protein kinases, as determined by gel mobility shift. Activation of these kinases may represent important components in the cascade of signals that link ICAM-1 to various ICAM-1-elicited cellular responses. These data confirm the important role of ICAM-1 as a signaling molecule in B cell activation.

Abstract
Activation of various cell types by different agonists is known to stimulate a transient increase in the level of tyrosine phosphorylation of certain cellular proteins. Such phosphorylation is essential for mediating signalling by these agonists. The preservation of the tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins in lysates has proven to be a difficult task in neutrophils because of their large arsenal of proteases and phosphatases. Here we describe a technique that we found useful for preserving the tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins. The technique depends on the denaturing lysis of neutrophils followed by the removal of the denaturing agents using Sephadex columns. Preparing neutrophil lysates by this technique has proven to be reliable in terms of maintaining the stability of the tyrosine phosphorylated proteins of various molecular weights and their subsequent immunoprecipitation and identification.

Abstract
The ribosomal S6 kinase p90(rsk) was studied in mature and proliferating hemopoietic cells in response to the human cytokine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). In neutrophils, GM-CSF induced time-dependent electrophoretic mobility shifts in immunoreactive p90(rsk). Although these shifts suggested changes in the phosphorylation status of the molecule, a kinase assay with whole cell lysates detected minimal (1.5-fold) increments in enzymatic activity. Only immunoprecipitation followed by immune complex kinase assay or in-gel kinase assay performed against the RSK substrate RRLSSLRA evidenced an increase in p90(rsk) activity (3.4-fold). p90(rsk) was also detected in the GM-CSF-dependent erythroleukemia cell line TF-1. Normally cultured, cytokine-supplemented cells did not respond to further GM-CSF stimulation. However, the activity of p90(rsk) in cytokine-starved cells increased dramatically in response to short term GM-CSF challenge. This effect was readily observable in total cell lysates (6.6-fold increase over controls) and was paralleled by changes in mitogen-activated protein kinase activity (a substrate of p90(rsk)). Thus, p90(rsk) is present in mature hemopoietic cells, but the extent of the enzymatic response to GM-CSF is significantly lower than that seen in proliferative cells.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase activity, a determinant of Src homology domain interactions, has a prominent effect on cellular localization and catalysis by 5-lipoxygenase. Six separate inhibitors of tyrosine kinase each inhibited 5(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid formation by HL-60 cells stimulated with calcium ionophore, in the presence or absence of exogenous arachidonic acid substrate, indicating that they modulated cellular 5-lipoxygenase activity. The tyrosine kinase inhibitors also blocked the translocation of 5-lipoxygenase from cytosol to membranes during cellular activation, consistent with their effects on its catalytic activity. These results fit a model which postulates that Src homology domain interactions are a molecular determinant of the processes which coordinate the subcellular localization and functions of 5-lipoxygenase. In addition, we demonstrate that activated leukocytes contain two molecularly distinct forms of 5-lipoxygenase: a phosphorylated form and a nonphosphorylated form. In activated HL-60 cells the pool of phosphorylated 5-lipoxygenase accumulates in the nuclear fraction, not with the membrane or cytosolic fractions. The amount of phosphorylated 5-lipoxygenase is a small fraction of the total. Overall, equilibrium reactions involving the nuclear localizing sequence, the proline-rich SH3 binding motif, and the phosphorylation state of 5-lipoxygenase may each influence its partnership with other cellular proteins and any novel functions derived from such partnerships.

Abstract
Incubation of human neutrophils with 500 pM granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) results in a rapid and time-dependent increase in the phosphorylation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), which was reflected in a slower electrophoretic mobility of the enzyme. The GM-CSF-induced phosphorylation of cPLA2 was accompanied by a parallel and time-dependent increase in the enzyme activity. Preincubation of neutrophils with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein caused inhibition of the GM-CSF-stimulated phosphorylation and activity of cPLA2. Immunoprecipitation of the enzyme following incubation of neutrophils with [32P]Pi shows that cPLA2 is phosphorylated by GM-CSF. Potato acid phosphatase caused dephosphorylation of the enzyme, indicating that cPLA2 is indeed phosphorylated by GM-CSF. The subcellular distribution of cPLA2 in GM-CSF-stimulated neutrophils revealed that the enzyme resides almost completely in the cytosolic fraction. Addition of Ca2+ to the lysis buffer before homogenization results in the translocation of the phosphorylated and the dephosphorylated forms of the enzyme to the membranes. Translocation of cPLA2 was also achieved after incubation with 0.1 microM N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenyl-alanine (fMLP) after GM-CSF stimulation and when neutrophils were challenged with the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. EDTA and EGTA were unable to solubilize the translocated enzyme from the neutrophil membranes, indicating that cPLA2 is attached to the membranes by strong bonds and not merely due to ionic forces exerted by Ca2+. The inability of GM-CSF to promote arachidonic acid mobilization is probably due to the fact that GM-CSF does not cause an increase in intracellular Ca2+, which is necessary for the translocation of the enzyme to the membranes where its substrate(s) reside.

Abstract
Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is a generalized disorder of intermediate filament networks which results in the formation of an ovoid aggregate in a large variety of cell types. We investigated the cytoskeletal organization of cultured skin fibroblasts derived from three GAN patients by indirect immunofluorescence, confocal, and electron microscopy. Whereas the organization of microfilaments seemed normal, the microtubule network appeared disorganized and tangled. The organization of the intermediate filament network, composed of vimentin, was probed with three antibodies directed against different epitopes: two vimentin-specific antibodies, a monoclonal antibody (mAb V9) and a polyclonal antibody, and a serum specific for all type III IFPs (PI serum). These experiments showed that 20% of cultured skin fibroblasts from GAN patients have a vimentin aggregate composed of densely packed filaments which coexists with a well-organized vimentin network. After depolymerization of microtubules with nocodazole, all fibroblasts from GAN patients contained a vimentin aggregate which seemed to arise from a subpopulation of vimentin filaments normally integrated in the vimentin network. Such aggregates were never observed in any condition in control fibroblasts. Moreover, the ultrastructural analysis of GAN cells revealed the presence of swollen mitochondria. We suggest that GAN may be due to a defect in a factor which stabilizes cytoplasmic intermediate filament networks, and we speculate on its identification and properties.

Abstract
The survival and proliferation of the UT-7 human leukemic cell line is strictly dependent on the presence of either interleukin 3, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor or erythropoietin. In these cells, erythropoietin stimulation led to the rapid phosphorylation of several proteins including the erythropoietin receptor and proteins with molecular masses around 45 kDa which could be mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. Separation of cytosol from resting or erythropoietin-stimulated UT-7 cells by anion-exchange chromatography revealed two peaks of myelin basic protein kinase activity. The kinase activity of the first peak was independent of erythropoietin treatment of the cells and corresponded to an unidentified 50-kDa kinase, whereas the second peak was only present in erythropoietin-stimulated cells and corresponded to three forms of MAP kinases with molecular masses of 45, 44 and 42 kDa. The three forms were separated by hydrophobic chromatography and were shown to be activated in erythropoietin-stimulated cells. The 44-kDa and 42-kDa forms corresponded to extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1 and ERK-2, respectively. Evidence was obtained showing that the 45-kDa form is not a shifted form of ERK-1 but corresponded to a less well defined form of MAP kinase which may be the previously described ERK-4. MAP kinase activation was detected after 1 min erythropoietin stimulation and remained detectable after more than 1 hour. A role for MAP kinase activation in erythropoietin-stimulated cell proliferation was suggested by the simultaneous inhibition of erythropoietin-induced MAP kinase stimulation and cell proliferation. The potential activator of MAP kinase, RAF-1, was hyperphosphorylated in erythropoietin-stimulated cells and its autophosphorylation activity was strongly increased. The protein adaptor Shc was heavily phosphorylated in UT-7 erythropoietin-stimulated cells and associated strongly with a unidentified 145-kDa protein. However, Shc bound poorly to the activated erythropoietin receptor and most Shc proteins were cytosolic in both unstimulated and erythropoietin-stimulated cells. In contrast, Grb2 associated efficiently with the activated erythropoietin receptor and a significant part of Grb2 was associated to a particulate subcellular fraction upon erythropoietin stimulation.

Abstract
When granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-treated human neutrophils were challenged with the chemotactic factor fMet-Leu-Phe, it was possible to detect a time-dependent increase in the hydrolytic (as measured by the production of phosphatidic acid, PA) and the transphosphatidylation (as measured by the production of phosphatidylethanol, PEt) activities of phospholipase D in intact cells prelabeled with a radioactive fatty acid. Both activities were inhibited by preincubation of cells with genistein. Appropriate conditions were developed to test the PLD transphosphatidylation activity against exogenous phosphatidylcholine (PCho) in an in vitro system. As in intact cells, increased PLD activity could be detected in cell lysates obtained from fMet-Leu-Phe-treated cells compared with controls. When lysates were immunoprecipitated with antiphosphotyrosine antibodies, a PLD activity was found only in immune complexes that were prepared from fMet-Leu-Phe-treated cells. Conversely, no activity was found in lysates immunoprecipitated with an irrelevant antibody (GTPase-activating protein, GAP) that nevertheless was able to recognize a tyrosylphosphorylated form of GAP, as demonstrated by western blotting. These data suggest that a PCho-PLD, or a tightly bound protein, is tyrosine phosphorylated during cell activation.

Abstract
The relationship between intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), the release of arachidonic acid and the synthesis of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) was investigated using Ca(2+)-depleted human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) in which [Ca2+]i can be manipulated by varying the concentration of exogenous Ca2+ added with agonists. In this model, Ca2+, platelet-activating factor (PAF) and N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP), added alone, were unable to induce arachidonic acid release or LTB4 synthesis, as assessed by measurements of the products by MS and HPLC, respectively. However, the simultaneous addition of Ca2+ and either PAF or FMLP to these Ca(2+)-depleted PMNs resulted in an influx of Ca2+ proportional to the extracellular concentration of Ca2+ and caused a substantial release of arachidonic acid and synthesis of LTB4. The [Ca2+]i values for threshold and maximal arachidonic acid release were found to be 150 nM and 350 nM respectively, suggesting the involvement of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). Under stimulatory conditions resulting in similar [Ca2+]i, Ca(2+)-depleted PMNs released significant amounts of arachidonic acid but normal (Ca(2+)-repleted) PMNs did not, indicating that Ca2+ depletion of PMNs altered the normal regulation of arachidonic acid release and facilitated the release of the fatty acid upon stimulation with agonists. cPLA2 and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) phosphorylation, as assessed by changes of electrophoretic mobility, occurred in both Ca(2+)-depleted and Ca(2+)-depleted PMNs upon addition of agonist. These data demonstrate that in Ca(2+)-depleted PMNs stimulated with agonists, arachidonic acid release and LTB4 synthesis correlated with extracellular Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
The addition of platelet-activating factor (PAF) to human neutrophils increases phosphorylation on tyrosine residues and stimulates the activity of p42erk2 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase). This action is rapid and transient. In contrast, p42erk2, p44erk1 and the p40hera MAP kinase isoforms are all not tyrosine phosphorylated or activated in human neutrophils stimulated with low concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in combination with serum. In spite of this, the PAF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the p42erk2 MAP kinase are greatly potentiated in cells pretreated with LPS. More interestingly, although low concentrations of LPS do not affect MAP kinase isoforms in these cells, they cause the phosphorylation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), as evidenced by a decrease in the electrophoretic mobility of the enzyme. In addition, this stimulus-induced upward shift in the mobility of the enzyme is not inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein. Furthermore, LPS increases the release of arachidonic acid in control and PAF-stimulated human neutrophils. These observations clearly show that cPLA2 can be phosphorylated and activated by kinases other than the currently known MAP kinases. It is proposed that there are MAP kinase-dependent and -independent mechanisms for the phosphorylation of cPLA2.

Abstract
One of the most intriguing gaps in our understanding of how neutrophils work concerns the mechanism by which the oxidase response in these cells is 'primed'. In the primed state, there is no increase in oxidase activity, yet subsequent stimulation provokes a response that is larger than in nonprimed, activated cells. Thus, neutrophils exist in one of three states: quiescent, primed or active. Individual primed cells may be thought of as being 'ready to go' but awaiting further stimulus before the oxidase response is elicited. The primed neutrophils are thus held at 'amber', awaiting 'green' before activity is triggered. Here, Maurice Hallett and Darren Lloyds suggest a molecular basis for the signals that say 'amber' but not 'green'.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to determine the identities and characteristics of proteins with molecular masses between 40 and 44 kDa whose tyrosine phosphorylation increases in human neutrophils following stimulation of these cells with tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Immunoblotting results demonstrate that addition of GM-CSF to human neutrophils increases the tyrosine phosphorylation of two proteins with molecular masses of 42 and 44 kDa. However, the addition of TNF-alpha to neutrophils induces a time- and dose-dependent increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of a 40 kDa protein. Immunoprecipitation using specific mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) isoform antibodies and an antibody which recognizes phosphotyrosine-containing proteins demonstrated that the 42 and 44 kDa proteins are isoforms of MAPKs. Utilizing an in situ gel kinase activity assay, GM-CSF increases the kinase activity of the 42 and 44 kDa proteins. Moreover, using immunoprecipitated p42 and p44 MAPK isoforms in this gel assay revealed activity associated with the p42 and p44 MAPK isoforms. Using the same in situ assay, TNF-alpha induces an increase in kinase activity of a 40-42 kDa protein. However, the 40 kDa protein whose phosphorylation on tyrosine residues increased in human neutrophils following stimulation with TNF-alpha is not a member of the known MAPK family, demonstrating the divergences in pathways utilized by GM-CSF and TNF-alpha. This 40 kDa protein may be related to the recently identified protein that becomes phosphorylated on tyrosine residues upon stimulation of the human epidermal carcinoma cell line KB by interleukin-1. In these cells the p40 protein is part of a protein kinase cascade which results in the phosphorylation of the small heat shock protein, hsp27.

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

Abstract
Because of their differentiating effects in neoplastic cells in vitro, the use of retinoids in the treatment of various malignant and premalignant conditions is under investigation. To date, signal transduction pathways involved in retinoid-induced differentiation remain poorly understood. Differentiation of HL-60 cells by all-trans-retinoic acid (tRA) is directly mediated by down-regulation of the serine protease myeloblastin (mbn). In this report, we investigate the possibility that the 28-kDa heat shock protein (hsp28), previously linked to differentiation of normal and neoplastic cells including HL-60, may be regulated by mbn. Using NB4 promyelocytic leukemic cells as a differentiative model, we show that tRA induces initial suppression and subsequent up-regulation of hsp28 protein, mirroring tRA-induced changes in mbn protein. The progressive reduction in hsp28 mRNA levels in response to tRA suggests that changes in hsp28 protein levels might be posttranscriptionally mediated, raising the possibility that hsp28 may be targeted by mbn. To address this, we developed an assay using purified mbn and recombinant hsp28 and now show that hsp28 is hydrolyzed by mbn but not its homologue, human neutrophil elastase. Moreover, mbn does not indiscriminately hydrolyze other proteins. Identifying hsp28 as a substrate of mbn strongly suggests that hsp28 may be a key component of the tRA signaling pathway involved in regulating cell differentiation.

Abstract
The focal adhesion protein paxillin undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation in response to signals mediated by integrins, neuropeptides and oncogene products, possibly via activation of the focal adhesion-associated kinase, p125FAK. In the present work, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin in human neutrophils. Cell adhesion and participation of the beta 2 integrin CD18 were necessary, but not sufficient, for the response. Adherent neutrophils also tyrosine phosphorylated paxillin in response to phorbol ester, formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine and opsonized bacteria. In contrast, p125FAK was constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated in a manner unaffected by adherence and/or TNF. Thus, cytokines and microbial products are among the stimuli that can induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin, and kinases other than p125FAK may be responsible. This is the first identification of paxillin and p125FAK in human cells and neutrophils, and one of the few identifications of a specific protein that undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation in response to any agonist in neutrophils or in response to TNF in any cell.

Abstract
Challenge of neutrophils with concanavalin A (ConA), formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins. Among these proteins we have identified two mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) isoforms of 43 kDa (p43 MAPK) and 45 kDa (p45 MAPK) molecular mass. Moreover here we show that: (1) FMLP induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of the p43 MAPK, and ConA that of p45 MAPK, while PMA induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of both p43 and p45 MAPK; all these agonists induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of a 75 kDa protein (p75). (2) With FMLP or ConA as agonists, tyrosine phosphorylations of MAPK and p75 can be involved in the process of NADPH oxidase activation. On the contrary, PMA can activate the respiratory burst independently of these phosphorylations. (3) In Ca(2+)-depleted neutrophils, where phospholipid hydrolysis did not take place, ConA or FMLP did not activate the respiratory burst, but while ConA induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of p45 MAPK and p75, FMLP was not able to phosphorylate p43 MAPK and p75. (4) As previously observed in our laboratory, a double stimulation of Ca(2+)-depleted neutrophils with ConA plus FMLP induced a respiratory burst in the absence of activation of second messengers derived from phospholipase C, D and A2 activity. This respiratory burst was accompanied by tyrosine phosphorylation of both p43 and p45 MAPKs. These results indicate that when FMLP is the agonist, both the tyrosine phosphorylation of p43 MAPK and p75, and the activation of NADPH oxidase, are coupled to Ca(2+)-dependent mechanisms. On the contrary, ConA can induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of p45 MAPK and p75 independently of calcium, but an unknown Ca(2+)-dependent mechanism is necessary for the activation of NADPH oxidase by this agonist. This mechanism could be substituted by the induction of tyrosine phosphorylation of both p43 MAPK and p45 MAPK when Ca(2+)-depleted neutrophils are stimulated with ConA plus FMLP.

Abstract
The small intestinal crypt cell line (IEC-6) is an undifferentiated, untransformed, mitotically active cell used in this study to determine the effect of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) on tyrosine phosphorylation levels of cellular proteins. Thymidine incorporation increased maximally after addition of 2 ng/ml TGF-alpha for 24 h. At the same dose, TGF-alpha induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins with approximate molecular masses of 42, 44, 52, 80, 150 and 175 kDa as shown by Western blots treated with anti-phosphotyrosine antibody. The most intense phosphorylation was seen in the 42 kDa (p42) and 44 kDa (p44) proteins, which were identified as two isoforms of microtubule-associated protein kinase (MAPK). This phosphorylation was seen as early as 5 min post stimulation and was dose dependent. Both p42 and p44 were found in the nucleus after stimulation, although a basal level of unphosphorylated protein was present before stimulation. The observed tyrosine phosphorylation of p42 and p44 was inhibited by genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and tyrphostin 23, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. We conclude that MAPK is tyrosine phosphorylated in response to TGF-alpha stimulation of IEC-6 cells.

Abstract
The addition of the chemotactic peptide formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) to human neutrophils pretreated with the cytokine granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) results in a 10-fold enhanced activity of phospholipase A2, measured as the release of arachidonic acid. It is found that GM-CSF increases the tyrosine phosphorylation, enhances the activity of a mitogen-activated protein kinase, and greatly potentiates the fMet-Leu-Phe-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and enhanced activity of this kinase. Stimuli that increase the tyrosine phosphorylation, enhance the activity of the mitogen-activated protein kinase, and cause a rise in the intracellular concentration of free calcium increase the amount of phospholipase A2 associated with the plasma membrane. This increase corresponds to a decrease in the amount found in the cytosol. Whereas GM-CSF alone produces only a small increase in the amount of phospholipase A2 associated with the membrane, it potentiates greatly the fMet-Leu-Phe-induced increase. The total amount (whole cell) of phospholipase A2, as measured by immunoblotting using anti-phospholipase A2 antibody, does not change upon stimulation of human neutrophils with GM-CSF, fMet-Leu-Phe, or both. In addition, the band that corresponds to phospholipase A2 is shifted upward in membrane isolated from neutrophils stimulated with fMet-Leu-Phe, suggesting that the enzyme has been altered, possibly phosphorylated, though not on tyrosine residues. A working hypothesis is presented. Briefly, stimulation of human neutrophils with GM-CSF, in the absence of an additional stimulus, increases the tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of a mitogen-activated protein kinase, which in turn phosphorylates and activates cytoplasmic phospholipase A2. In the presence of an increased intracellular concentration of free calcium the phospholipase A2 is translocated to the plasma membrane where its substrate is located. GM-CSF also potentiates greatly the fMet-Leu-Phe-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of a mitogen-activated protein kinase and, since fMet-Leu-Phe causes an intracellular calcium rise, the amount of the phospholipase A2 that is associated with the membrane fraction.

Abstract
The receptor for granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is composed of an alpha and beta subunit, which together form the high-affinity receptor. The alpha subunit by itself binds ligand at low affinity, whereas the isolated beta subunit does not bind GM-CSF. It is generally believed that the high-affinity receptor is responsible for the multiple functions of GM-CSF and that the isolated alpha subunit (GMR alpha) does not transduce a signal. Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with RNA encoding human GMR alpha expressed up to 10(10) low-affinity sites for GM-CSF (Kd = 6 nM). GM-CSF binding to the alpha subunit expressed in Xenopus oocytes caused activation of 2-deoxyglucose transport through endogenous glucose transporters. 2-Deoxyglucose transport was stimulated by similar low concentrations of GM-CSF in HL-60 leukemia cells as well as normal human neutrophils and Xenopus oocytes expressing GMR alpha. Engagement of the isolated alpha subunit in oocytes did not lead to protein phosphorylation or tyrosine phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase). Staurosporin and genistein inhibited GM-CSF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of MAP kinase in human neutrophils and HL-60 cells without affecting GM-CSF-stimulated uptake of 2-deoxyglucose. These results provide direct evidence that the isolated alpha subunit signals for hexose transport and can do so without engagement of the kinase cascade. Our data also indicate that signaling for hexose uptake may occur in a phosphorylation-independent manner in cells expressing the high-affinity GM-CSF receptor.

Abstract
1. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4), two potent lipid mediators synthesized by activated neutrophils, are known to stimulate several neutrophil functional responses. In this study, we have determined that endogenous LTB4 and PAF exert autocrine effects on LT synthesis, as well as the underlying mechanism involved. 2. Pretreatment of neutrophils with either pertussis toxin (PT), or with receptor antagonists for LTB4 and PAF, resulted in an inhibition of LT synthesis induced by calcium ionophore, A23187. This inhibition was most marked at submaximal (100-300 nM) A23187 concentrations, whilst it was least at ionophore concentrations which induce maximal LT synthesis (1-3 microM). Thus newly-synthesized PAF and LTB4 can enhance LT synthesis induced by A23187 under conditions where the LT-generating system is not fully activated. 3. In recombinant human (rh) granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-primed neutrophils, LT synthesis in response to chemoattractants (fMet-Leu-Phe or rhC5a) was also significantly inhibited by the LTB4 receptor antagonist, and to a lesser extent by PAF receptor antagonists. 4. Further investigation revealed that LTB4 and/or PAF exert their effects on LT synthesis via an effect on arachidonic acid (AA) availability, as opposed to 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) activation. Indeed, the receptor antagonists, as well as PT, inhibited LT synthesis and AA release to a similar extent, whereas 5-LO activation (assessed with an exogenous 5-LO substrate) was virtually unaffected under the same conditions. Accordingly, we showed that addition of exogenous LTB4 could enhance AA availability in response to chemoattractant challenge in rhGM-CSF-primed cells, without significantly affecting the 5-LO activation status. Our data show that newly-generated PAF and LTB4 have the ability to positively feedback on LT synthesis by acting at the level of the phospholipase A2/re-esterification component of the LT biosynthetic pathway in neutrophils. Such autocrine affects are likely to represent an important amplification step of LT synthesis, and may as such contribute to the rapid onset, as well as to the evolution, of inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Preincubation of human neutrophils with the human cytokine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) results in an increase in the amount of alpha-subunit of Gi2 (Gi alpha 2) associated with the plasma membrane and a corresponding decrease in the amount associated with the granule fractions. Similar results are obtained with interleukin-8. GM-CSF has no effect on the distribution of Gi alpha 3. The effect of GM-CSF on Gi alpha 2 is time-dependent, and, although a significant effect can be observed after incubation for 5 min with GM-CSF, the enhancement increases with increasing time. Genistein, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and 1,2-bis-(O-aminophenoxyl)ethane-NNN'N'-tetra-acetic acid (BAPTA), an intracellular Ca2+ chelator, decrease the stimulatory effect of GM-CSF. On the other hand, the protein-synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide does not affect the action of GM-CSF. Also, although preincubation of human neutrophils with GM-CSF increases the levels of Gi alpha 2 in the plasma membrane it does not alter the total amount of cellular Gi alpha 2. In addition, the level of Gi alpha 2 mRNA, unlike that of the proto-oncogene c-fos, is not increased in cells treated with GM-CSF. This indicates that the observed increase in the amount of Gi alpha 2 associated with the plasma membrane is not due to the synthesis of new Gi alpha 2. These data provide insight into the mechanism by which GM-CSF may prime human neutrophils for increased responsiveness to subsequent stimulation by G-protein-dependent agonists.

Abstract
Human polymorphonuclear neutrophils exhibit a low level of the microtubule-associated protein kinase (MAPK) activity. This enzymic activity is enhanced up to 3-fold upon cell stimulation with the human haematopoietic hormone granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). This is demonstrated both in whole-cell lysates and in DEAE-anion-exchange semi-purified fractions prepared from GM-CSF-stimulated neutrophils, by assaying the kinase activity against either myelin basic protein or a phosphoacceptor peptide that bears the specific phosphorylation site of the MAPK natural substrate. Similarly, phosphorylation of MAPK in tyrosine residues, as found in immunoblots using anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies, follows similar time- and dose-response curves as the kinase activation. Pretreatment of the cells with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein abrogates the above-mentioned effect, whereas the phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid enhances both the basal and the GM-CSF-stimulated kinase activities. Likewise, MAPK tyrosine phosphorylation is diminished in genistein-treated neutrophils, and enhanced in okadaic acid-treated cells. We conclude that MAPK activity is present in human neutrophils, and that it is stimulated by GM-CSF. This stimulation of the activity is most likely due to the phosphorylation of MAPK in tyrosine residues triggered upon binding of GM-CSF to its receptors.
