Abstract
Phagocytic, chemotactic, and oxidative metabolic capacity of circulating neutrophils was studied in 20 patients with Crohn's disease. In vitro tests of chemotaxis and phagocytosis of isolated neutrophils from patients did not differ from that of healthy controls. However, superoxide anion production by phorbol-myristate-acetate and formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-stimulated neutrophils from patients with Crohn's disease was significantly diminished compared with controls. Measurement of cytochrome b559 in total membranes of neutrophils from patients showed that it was significantly lower than in controls. Disease activity did not correlate either with the production of superoxide anion or with the cytochrome b559 content. It is concluded that oxidative metabolism is impaired in neutrophils from patients with Crohn's disease and that this defect could be caused by a reduced content in membrane b-type cytochrome. Although this defective neutrophil function may contribute to granuloma formation, other factors have to be implicated in disease inflammatory activity.

Abstract
There were controversial data concerning localization of alkaline phosphatase (AP) in neutrophil nuclei under physiological conditions. In this context, the AP pattern has been determined on nuclei preparations from normal human neutrophils. Blood cells were isolated from 10 healthy adults and from 3 women in the third trimester of an uncomplicated pregnancy. Purity of nuclear suspension was checked by electron microscopy and assay of organelle marker enzymes. Electron microscope cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry studies were carried out on WBC. Enzyme characterization was performed by the usual biochemical procedures. AP was found in nuclear preparations from four of ten normal controls. When present, AP was detected in approximately two-thirds of the nuclei examined, representing an average of 20% of the total cell activity. Conversely, a large amount of nucleus-bound enzyme (55% of total AP activity) was recognized in all pregnant women samples. Biochemical and immunological characteristics clearly differentiate AP forms in the two groups of subjects. Normal controls have an heterogeneous enzyme pattern. AP positive preparations contain a mixture of isoenzymes: a prominent heat labile form and a relatively heat stable minor component. The heat stable fraction displays some properties similar to those previously described in leukocyte AP. Pregnant women express a unique very heat labile isoenzyme identical in its main characteristics to the early placental type.

Abstract
Subcellular fractionation studies in resting human neutrophils indicated a bimodal distribution for cytochrome b. A major peak of cytochrome b co-sedimented with gelatinase under different experimental conditions. This localization was partially overlapped with specific granules (using lysozyme and lactoferrin as specific granule markers), but clearly resolved from azurophilic granules, plasma membrane, mitochondria, as well as from a novel alkaline phosphatase-rich intracellular organelle. A minor localization of cytochrome b was found in fractions enriched in both the plasma membrane marker 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase. A significant portion of ubiquinone cell content co-fractionated with the gelatinase-containing granules. After phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-cell stimulation, cytochrome b was mobilized to fractions showing respiratory burst activity and enriched in 5'-nucleotidase activity. This mobilization paralleled secretion of gelatinase and lysozyme to the extracellular medium. Furthermore, neutrophil stimulation with fluoride in the absence of cytochalasin B induced release of gelatinase and generation of superoxide anion with only minimal release of lysozyme. Preincubation of cells with the anion channel blocker 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) prevented lysozyme release, but had only a minor effect on the release of gelatinase and did not inhibit the superoxide anion generation elicited by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine or PMA. These results suggest a main location of cytochrome b in mobilizable gelatinase-containing granules, which can constitute a subpopulation of specific granules. Furthermore, these findings show that the gelatinase-containing granule is functionally involved in the respiratory burst in neutrophils and that membrane fusion between plasma membrane and the gelatinase-containing granule occurs during activation of cells.

Abstract
Intracellular localization and enzymatic activities of lysosomal enzymes (cathepsin B, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, and beta-glucuronidase) were studied in control rats and after induction of caerulein pancreatitis. In control rats high enzymatic activities were found in the postnuclear 1000 g fraction (purified zymogen granules). The corresponding subcellular fraction in pancreatitis animals additionally contained larger secretory vacuoles and autophagosomes and revealed a marked increase in lysosomal enzyme activities. Immunolabelling studies at the ultrastructural level for trypsinogen and cathepsin B demonstrated a colocalization of lysosomal and digestive enzymes in zymogen granules in healthy controls. After induction of pancreatitis immunolabelling still demonstrated a colocalisation of cathepsin B and trypsinogen in secretory granules and newly formed Golgi-derived secretory vacuoles. Concomitantly appearing autophagosomes were, however, only labelled for cathepsin B. It is concluded that segregation of lysosomal and digestive enzymes is incomplete in normal acinar cells resulting in a colocalization in zymogen granules. In pancreatitis colocalization in secretory granules is maintained, whereas only lysosomal enzymes were sufficiently transferred into autophagic vacuoles. No indication for impaired mechanisms of molecular sorting of lysosomal and digestive enzymes in caerulein-induced pancreatitis was found.

Abstract
Membrane and cytosolic factors cooperate to generate NADPH-oxidase. The study of the syndrome of NADPH-oxidase deficiencies, chronic granulomatous disease, has enabled the identification of two membrane factors: a flavin adenine dinucleotide flavoprotein and a b cytochrome. The nature of the cytosolic components is still unknown, but a 47-kD protein, whose phosphorylation occurs in parallel with the generation of a respiratory burst in intact cells, seems to be one of the cytosolic factors. The subcellular localization of the membrane-bound NADPH-oxidase components has been studied in neutrophils: In unstimulated cells, only a minute fraction of the NADPH-oxidase components is localized in the plasma membrane, whereas approximately 80% is localized in the membrane of the specific granules and the majority of the rest is in a newly described membrane-bound compartment, the secretory granules, identified by latent alkaline phosphatase. During stimulation, these NADPH-oxidase components are translocated to the plasma membrane as a result of fusion of granule membrane with plasma membrane. Only the NADPH-oxidase components present in the plasma membrane are incorporated in the respiratory burst oxidase generated in intact cells.

Abstract
Whether or not cytochrome b-559 is a necessary component of NADPH oxidase activity in neutrophils is still controversial. In highly purified plasma membranes isolated from resting neutrophils and lacking cytochrome b, addition of arachidonic acid induced an NADPH oxidase activity. This activity was similar to that of plasma membranes isolated from phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated cells which possessed cytochrome b. Addition of arachidonic acid to the latter plasma membranes did not alter the oxidase activity. It can be concluded that plasma membranes isolated from resting neutrophils have, in the presence of arachidonic acid, an NADPH oxidase activity similar to that of PMA-stimulated cells, except that it is independent of cytochrome b-559.

Abstract
Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) induces changes in the human monocyte-macrophage-like cell line U937 which reflect cellular differentiation. PMA prompted the expression of the superoxide anion (O2-) generating capacity in U937 upon appropriate stimulation. A highly specific stimulation by Concanavalin A (Con A) of O2- release was observed in PMA-differentiated U937 cells, which exceeded in 10-20 times that obtained with Con A-stimulated monocytes and neutrophils. These results indicate that a highly specific machinery required for Con A stimulation, practically absent in mature monocytes and neutrophils, is synthesized during PMA-induced U937 differentiation. A novel cytochrome b putatively involved in O2- generation was detected in U937 cells. This cytochrome b content was increased during PMA-induced cell differentiation, although no linear correlation was found between capability to produce O2- by macrophage-like U937 cells and their content of cytochrome b.

Abstract
The formation of oxygen-derived free radicals by the phagocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes and macrophages) is catalysed by a membrane-bound NADPH oxidase which is dormant in resting cells and becomes activated during phagocytosis or following interaction of the cells with suitable soluble stimulants. This enzyme is under investigation in many laboratories but its molecular structure remains to be clarified. Possible components such as flavoproteins, cytochrome b558, and quinones have been proposed on the basis of enzyme purification studies, effects of inhibitors, kinetic properties and analysis of genetic defects of the oxidase. An extensive discussion of the evidence for the participation of these constituents is reported. On the basis of the available information on the structure and the catalytic properties of the NADPH oxidase, a series of possible models of the electron-transport chain from NADPH to O2 is presented. Finally, the triggering mechanism of the respiratory burst is discussed, with particular reference to the stimulus-response coupling and the final modification(s) of the oxidase (phosphorylation, assembly, change of lipid environment, etc.) which are involved in its activation.

Abstract
We describe here the major protein components of a highly purified human neutrophil plasma membrane fraction analyzed by uni- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, as well as their glycoprotein nature as determined by PAS staining, [125I]-Con A binding and [3H]-sodium borohydride labelling. A polypeptide of about 150 kDa appeared as the main Con A binding protein. The topology of the polypeptides has also been determined by protein labelling from the outside of the cell surface by lactoperoxidase catalyzed iodination and from within the bilayer by using the hydrophobic reagent [125I]-iodonaphtylazide. The antigenic features of some cell surface polypeptides have also been determined by the use of monoclonal antibodies. In this context we have detected by immunoprecipitation in human neutrophils the antigen MAC 120, previously found in monocytes and putatively associated with antigen presenting function.

Abstract
Release and subcellular fractionation experiments indicate that fusion of a novel tertiary granule with the plasma membrane is concomitant with human neutrophil activation. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) induced a respiratory burst in human neutrophils as well as a high release of gelatinase, a marker of the tertiary granule. Preincubation of neutrophils with cytochalasin E induced a partially activated or 'primed' state, in which cells were unable to generate superoxide anion, but showed a reduced latency period for this activity. Fusion of tertiary granules with the cell surface also occurred during priming, although to a lesser extent than in PMA stimulation. The rapid tertiary granule degranulation, preceding that of specifics and azurophilics, seems to play an important role in the functionality and secretory properties of human neutrophils.

Abstract
Plasma membranes of high purity and good yield have been prepared from human polymorphonuclear neutrophils by a one-step procedure involving disruption of cells suspended in paraffin oil and forced by pressure through an annular slit. This results in a band floating above the oil which is composed of large sheets of plasma membranes. Enrichment values for the plasma membrane marker alkaline phosphatase and 125I-labeled protein after surface labeling performed at the whole cell level were 23-fold and 22-fold, respectively. Contamination of the plasma membrane by other organelles was negligible and approximately 2 mg of membrane protein was obtained from 10(9) neutrophils. The procedure is very fast and the use of paraffin oil avoids lengthy high-speed centrifugation. The technique also allows isolation of granules devoid of plasma membrane and can probably be applied to other cell types.

Abstract
By considering the effects of temperature on the respiratory burst activity of human neutrophils stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate, we have found that activation only occurs at 17 degrees C and above. Between 20 and 30 degrees C, the rates of oxygen consumption rose dramatically in correspondence with cellular release of gelatinase and lactoferrin. Inasmuch as these mark tertiary and specific granules, respectively, a necessity for membrane fusion of one or both granules with the plasma membrane during triggering of the respiratory burst is very probable.

Abstract
In this study we report an overall procedure for the isolation of both human polymorphonuclear neutrophils and their plasma membrane, by means of self-generating Percoll gradients. After efficient purification (40% yield), neutrophils were lysed by nitrogen cavitation and cellular structures quickly isolated in a one-step procedure. Plasma membrane recovery was monitored by [3H]concanavalin A and 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) activity. We showed the latter activity is indeed present in human neutrophils. The procedure resulted in a good yield of plasma membrane, since 45% and 55% of total 5'-nucleotidase and [3H]concanavalin A activity, respectively, were recovered within two gradient fractions. Depending on the final pH of the Percoll gradient medium, endoplasmic reticulum markers contaminated either the plasma membrane or the granule fractions. At pH 9.05, NADH-ferricyanide reductase activity clearly separated from plasma membrane markers and displayed the same profile as CDPcholine:diacylglycerolcholine phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.8.2), a typical enzyme of endoplasmic reticulum. These results emphasize the need for strict monitoring of the pH of the gradient medium in subcellular fractionation of neutrophils.

Abstract
The superoxide (O2.-)-forming enzyme NADPH oxidase from pig neutrophils was solubilized and partially purified by gel-filtration chromatography. The purification procedure allowed the separation of NADPH oxidase activity from NADH-dependent cytochrome c reductase and 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol reductase activities. O2.-forming activity was co-purified with cytochrome b-245 and was associated with phospholipids. However, active fractions endowed with cytochrome b were devoid of ubiquinone and contained only little FAD. The cytochrome b/FAD ratio was 1.13:1 in the crude solubilized extract and increased to 18.95:1 in the partially purified preparations. Most of FAD was associated with fractions containing NADH-dependent oxidoreductases. These results are consistent with the postulated role of cytochrome b in O2.-formation by neutrophil NADPH oxidase, but raise doubts about the participation of flavoproteins in this enzyme activity.

Abstract
NADPH-dependent O2- forming activity was extracted with deoxycholate from subcellular particles of guinea-pig neutrophils following stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate. The solubilized enzyme was purified by chromatography on Ultrogel AcA22, by isopycnic glycerol density gradient centrifugation and by treatment with 0.4 M NaCl. This procedure yielded a high-molecular-weight complex containing phospholipids, cytochrome b-245 and NADPH oxidase activity. Cytochrome b was found to be purified to the same extent as NADPH oxidase activity. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the various purification fractions showed a progressive enrichment of a band whose molecular weight is 3.2 X 10(4). The enrichment of this protein band paralleled those of NADPH oxidase activity and of cytochrome b, indicating that it is a component of the oxidase system. The possibility that this band corresponds to either cytochrome b or a flavoprotein/cytochrome b complex is considered.

Abstract
Ubiquinone-10 has recently been proposed as a component of the microbicidal oxidase system of neutrophil leukocytes [Crawford & Schneider (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 6662-6668]. We have determined the subcellular localization of ubiquinone and could detect it only in the mitochondrial fractions. It was not enriched in phagolysosomes which were enriched in O2-. generating activity and cytochrome b-245. It is proposed that ubiquinone is unlikely to play a direct role in the electron transport chain located in the plasma membrane which functions to produce microbicidal oxygen radicals.

Abstract
Electrophoretic isolation of a membrane-bound NADPH oxidase of guinea-pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes was attempted with the O2- -generating membranes of cells unstimulated or stimulated with C3b-zymosan or sodium dodecyl sulfate, and also with the phagosomes isolated from the phorbol myristate acetate-coated latex particle-phagocytosing cells. When these vesicles were subjected to discontinuous polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of Triton X-100 and then assayed for NADPH-Nitroblue tetrazolium reducing activity, the activity was detected by the appearance of a single, blue band of the reduced dye on the gel, independent of the source of vesicles. In addition, the enzyme was able to generate O2- and its activity was significantly augmented with the homologous liver microsomal cytochrome b5. Its activity was heat-labile and inactivated by N-ethylmaleimide and p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate. The enzyme, with an apparent molecular weight of 150 000, in the phagosomes was easily susceptible to limited proteolysis by trypsin and formed an active fragment with a molecular weight of 70 000, accompanying the loss of O2- -generating activity of the vesicles.

Abstract
Neutrophils respond to a variety of stimuli by generating superoxide anion, degranulating, and aggregating. Because it has been suggested that fusion of granules with the plasmalemma (degranulation) is necessary for aggregation and superoxide anion generation, we have tested whether these responses can be demonstrated in "neutrophilic cytoplasts" (granule-free vesicles of cytoplasm enclosed by plasmalemma). When examined by electron microscopy, cytoplasts were found to be approximately 4 microns in diameter and essentially granule free. Cytoplasts exposed to fMet-Leu-Phe (0.1 microM) generated superoxide anion after a lag of 16 sec but released no detectable beta-glucuronidase, lysozyme, or elastase. Aggregation of cytoplasts, as measured by changes in light transmission, was also activated by fMet-Leu-Phe; no lag period was observed. Electron microscopy of the aggregates demonstrated clusters of cytoplasts with a scalloped appearance. Superoxide anion generation and aggregation of cytoplasts were also activated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, concanavalin A, and leukotriene B4. Exposure of cytoplasts to the dye 3,3'-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOC6(3)] led to dye uptake and enhancement of fluorescence, implying that the vesicles were sealed and maintained a membrane potential across the plasmalemma. Exposure of DiOC6(3)-loaded cytoplasts to fMet-Leu-Phe and PMA caused a rapid loss of dye fluorescence that was not inhibited by CN-, compatible with their lack of mitochondria. Exposure of dye-loaded cytoplasts to concanavalin A or leukotriene B4 caused an increase in fluorescence--i.e., a hyperpolarization. These results demonstrate that degranulation is not a prerequisite for aggregation or superoxide anion generation. The retention of ionic gradients and changes in membrane potential, as measured by DiOC6(3) fluorescence changes, suggest a fundamental role for ionic movements in activating superoxide anion generation and aggregation.

Abstract
We describe a new method for subcellular fractionation of human neutrophils. Neutrophils were disrupted by nitrogen cavitation and the nuclei removed by centrifugation. The postnuclear supernatant was applied on top of a discontinuous Percoll density gradient. Centrifugation for 15 min at 48,000 g resulted in complete separation of plasma membranes, azurophil granules, and specific granules. As determined by ultrastructure and the distribution of biochemical markers of these organelles, approximately 90% of the b-cytochrome in unstimulated cells was recovered from the band containing the specific granules and was shown to be in or tightly associated with the membrane. During stimulation of intact neutrophils with phorbol myristate acetate or the ionophore A23187, we observed translocation of 40-75% of the b-cytochrome to the plasma membrane. The extent of this translocation closely paralleled release of the specific granule marker, vitamin B12-binding protein. These data indicate that the b-cytochrome is in the membrane of the specific granules of unstimulated neutrophils and that stimulus-induced fusion of these granules with the plasma membrane results in a translocation of the cytochrome. Our observations provide a basis for the assembly of the microbicidal oxidase of the human neutrophil.

Abstract
Using dithionite difference spectra we have detected cytochrome b in highly purified human neutrophils at a concentration of 0.08 nmol/mg protein. The presence of quinone was identified in lipid extracts at a concentration of approx. 0.06 nmol/mg protein. It was identified as ubiquinone-10 by mass spectrographic analysis. Simultaneous measurements of cytochrome oxidase indicated that these compounds could not be attributed to mitochondrial contamination. These results are compatible with the hypothesis that initiation of the respiratory burst in human neutrophils involves a multicomponent electron-transport system.

Abstract
We have purified unadhered human monocytes in sufficient quantities to prepare monocyte plasma membrane vesicles and study vesicular calcium transport. Monocytes were isolated from plateletpheresis residues by counterflow centrifugal elutriation. By combining this source and procedure, 7 x 10(8) monocytes of over 90% purity were obtained. The membranes, isolated on a sucrose step gradient, had an 18-fold enrichment in Na,K-ATPase, a 29-fold diminution of succinate dehydrogenase activity and were vesicular on transmission electron micrographs. The membrane vesicles loaded with oxalate accumulated calcium only in the presence of Mg and ATP. Calcium uptake did not occur if ATP was replaced by any of five nucleotide phosphates or if Mg was omitted. Calcium transport had a maximal velocity of 4 pmoles calcium/micrograms vesicle protein/min and a Km for calcium of 0.53 microM. The ionophore A23187 completely inhibited calcium accumulation while 5 mM sodium cyanide and 10 microM ouabain had no effect. A calcium-activated ATPase was present in the same plasma membrane vesicles. The calcium ATPase had a maximal velocity of 18.0 pmoles calcium/micrograms vesicle protein/min and a Km for calcium of 0.60 microM. Calcium-activated ATPase activity was absent if Mg was omitted or if (gamma - 32P) GTP replaced (gamma - 32P) ATP. Monocyte plasma membranes that were stripped of endogenous calmodulin by EGTA treatment showed a reduced level of calcium uptake and calcium ATPase activity. The addition of exogenous calmodulin restored the transport activity to that of unstripped monocyte plasma membranes. Thus, monocyte plasma membrane vesicles contain a highly specific, ATP-dependent calcium transport system and a calcium-ATPase with similar high calcium affinities.

Abstract
We investigated the ability of the calcium ionophore A23187 and phorbol myristate acetate to elicit a respiratory burst in human neutrophils. In general, the ionophore was considerably more potent than phorbol myristate acetate in generating a chemiluminescent response and slightly less active in generating superoxide anion. In contrast, the ionophore caused a much smaller stimulation of glucose oxidation via the hexose monophosphate shunt. This relative inability of the ionophore to stimulate the shunt could not be ascribed to an effect on glucose transport or to a direct inhibition of any of the enzymes involved in glucose metabolism. These data suggest that different stimuli may have markedly different effects on various activities associated with the respiratory burst and emphasize the necessity for measurement of more than one parameter to assess the oxidative metabolism of the neutrophil.

Abstract
The population dynamics of single-cell stimulation was analyzed by monitoring autofluorescence by flow cytometry. Stimulation of the respiratory burst in human neutrophils by 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) caused a decline in highly fluorescent cells (characteristic of resting neutrophils) and a corresponding increase in the number of weakly fluorescent cells (characteristic of activated neutrophils). Increasing concentrations of TPA caused increasing numbers of cells to shift from the highly fluorescent population to the weakly fluorescent population without the appearance of intermediate populations. Thus the neutrophil respiratory burst, a component of neutrophil cytotoxic response, is triggered in an all-or none fashion.
