Abstract
Several studies have shown that some rare respiratory diseases, such as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), cystic fibrosis (CF), and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) present oxidative stress (OS) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Their involvement in these pathologies and the use of antioxidants as therapeutic agents to minimize the effects of OS are discussed in this review.

Soultanova A, Mikulski Z, Pfeil U, Grau V, Kummer W. Calcitonin Peptide Family Members Are Differentially Regulated by LPS and Inhibit Functions of Rat Alveolar NR8383 Macrophages. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0163483. [PMID: 27737007 PMCID: PMC5063294 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0163483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2016] [Accepted: 09/10/2016] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Members of the calcitonin peptide family—calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), adrenomedullin (AM), and adrenomedullin2/intermedin (IMD)–exert modulatory effects upon monocytes and macrophages of various extrapulmonary origins. Utilizing the rat alveolar macrophage (AMφ) cell line NR8383, we here set out to determine to which extent these three peptides and their receptors are differentially regulated in AMφ and what specific effects they have on AMφ key functions. LPS treatment differentially up-regulated expression of the peptides and receptors. Among the three peptides, IMD mRNA content was lowest both in primary rat AMφ and NR8383 cells, whereas IMD peptide dominated in basal and LPS-stimulated secretion from NR8383 cells. Fcγ receptor-mediated phagocytosis and TNF-α production were inhibited by AM, IMD, and CGRP, whereas pro-IL-1β mRNA was slightly down-regulated exclusively by CGRP. Neither of these peptides affected IL-6 or IL-10 production. None increased intracellular calcium concentration, but AM significantly inhibited store-operated calcium entry. In conclusion, the rat AMφ cell line NR8383 is both a source and a target of the calcitonin peptide family members AM, IMD, and CGRP. Despite sharing proteins of the receptor complexes, AM, IMD, and CGRP each showed a characteristic pattern of effects and regulation, suggesting that these closely related peptides are not just redundant members of one common signaling pathway but act in concert by addressing parallel signaling cascades. Since peptide and receptor expression are up-regulated by LPS, these signaling pathways might act as inhibitory feedback mechanisms in pulmonary bacterial infection.

Abstract
Infection by protozoan parasites is part of the most common Tropical Neglected Diseases. In the case of leishmaniasis, several millions of people are at risk of contracting the disease. In spite of innumerous studies that elucidated the immune response capable of killing the parasite, the understanding of the evasion mechanisms utilized by the parasite to survive within the very cell responsible for its destruction is still incomplete. In this review, we offer a new approach to the control of the immune response against the parasite. The ability of the parasite to modulate the levels of extracellular ATP and adenosine either by directly acting on the levels of these molecules or by inducing the expression of CD39 and CD73 on the infected cell may influence the magnitude of the immune response against the parasite contributing to its growth and survival.

Abstract
Redox biology has evolved from studies of the pathology that involves oxidants to an understanding of how oxidants participate in normal as well as aberrant signal transduction. Although the concept that signal transduction involved changes in the redox state dates from the 1930s, the modern history of redox biology began with the discovery of superoxide dismutase by McCord and Fridovich. The initial focus was on free radicals and damage of macromolecules, which remains an important topic. But, over time it was realized that hydroperoxides, especially H2O2 produced by NADPH oxidases, and electrophiles derived from lipid peroxidation or metabolism, played essential roles in physiologically relevant signaling. The mechanisms through which H2O2 and other electrophiles signal became an important area of study that provided insight into how these reactive molecules were involved in major signaling pathways and regulation of transcription factors. Thus, the field of redox signaling that is the overlap of signal transduction with redox biology was established. Alterations in redox signaling are observed in aging, but we also now know that redox signaling is essential in physiological homeostasis and that sustained deviation from redox homeostasis results in disease. This is a review of the history of redox biology from a personal perspective of nearly fifty years working in this field that hopefully provides some insights for the reader.

Abstract
This review article provides a historical perspective on the role of purinergic signalling in the regulation of various subsets of immune cells from early discoveries to current understanding. It is now recognised that adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and other nucleotides are released from cells following stress or injury. They can act on virtually all subsets of immune cells through a spectrum of P2X ligand-gated ion channels and G protein-coupled P2Y receptors. Furthermore, ATP is rapidly degraded into adenosine by ectonucleotidases such as CD39 and CD73, and adenosine exerts additional regulatory effects through its own receptors. The resulting effect ranges from stimulation to tolerance depending on the amount and time courses of nucleotides released, and the balance between ATP and adenosine. This review identifies the various receptors involved in the different subsets of immune cells and their effects on the function of these cells.

Oxidative stress induced by P2X7 receptor stimulation in murine macrophages is mediated by c-Src/Pyk2 and ERK1/2. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2013; 1830:4650-9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Activation of ATP-gated P2X7 receptors (P2X7R) in macrophages leads to production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by a mechanism that is partially characterized. Here we used J774 cells to identify the signaling cascade that couples ROS production to receptor stimulation. METHODS J774 cells and mP2X7-transfected HEK293 cells were stimulated with Bz-ATP in the presence and absence of extracellular calcium. Protein inhibitors were used to evaluate the physiological role of various kinases in ROS production. In addition, phospho-antibodies against ERK1/2 and Pyk2 were used to determine activation of these two kinases. RESULTS ROS generation in either J774 or HEK293 cells (expressing P2X7, NOX2, Rac1, p47phox and p67phox) was strictly dependent on calcium entry via P2X7R. Stimulation of P2X7R activated Pyk2 but not calmodulin. Inhibitors of MEK1/2 and c-Src abolished ERK1/2 activation and ROS production but inhibitors of PI3K and p38 MAPK had no effect on ROS generation. PKC inhibitors abolished ERK1/2 activation but barely reduced the amount of ROS produced by Bz-ATP. In agreement, the amount of ROS produced by PMA was about half of that produced by Bz-ATP. CONCLUSIONS Purinergic stimulation resulted in calcium entry via P2X7R and subsequent activation of the PKC/c-Src/Pyk2/ERK1/2 pathway to produce ROS. This signaling mechanism did not require PI3K, p38 MAPK or calmodulin. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE ROS is generated in order to kill invading pathogens, thus elucidating the mechanism of ROS production in macrophages and other immune cells allow us to understand how our body copes with microbial infections.

Abstract
Evidence for a significant role and impact of purinergic signaling in normal and diseased airways is now beyond dispute. The present review intends to provide the current state of knowledge of the involvement of purinergic pathways in the upper and lower airways and lungs, thereby differentiating the involvement of different tissues, such as the epithelial lining, immune cells, airway smooth muscle, vasculature, peripheral and central innervation, and neuroendocrine system. In addition to the vast number of well illustrated functions for purinergic signaling in the healthy respiratory tract, increasing data pointing to enhanced levels of ATP and/or adenosine in airway secretions of patients with airway damage and respiratory diseases corroborates the emerging view that purines act as clinically important mediators resulting in either proinflammatory or protective responses. Purinergic signaling has been implicated in lung injury and in the pathogenesis of a wide range of respiratory disorders and diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, inflammation, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, and pulmonary hypertension. These ostensibly enigmatic actions are based on widely different mechanisms, which are influenced by the cellular microenvironment, but especially the subtypes of purine receptors involved and the activity of distinct members of the ectonucleotidase family, the latter being potential protein targets for therapeutic implementation.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP acts as a "danger signal" and can induce inflammation by binding to purinergic receptors. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is one of the most common inflammatory diseases associated with cigarette smoke inhalation, but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. In this study, we show that endogenous pulmonary ATP levels are increased in a mouse model of smoke-induced acute lung inflammation and emphysema. ATP neutralization or nonspecific P2R-blockade markedly reduced smoke-induced lung inflammation and emphysema. We detected an upregulation the purinergic receptors subtypes on neutrophils (e.g., P2Y2R), macrophages, and lung tissue from animals with smoke-induced lung inflammation. By using P2Y(2)R deficient ((-/-)) animals, we show that ATP induces the recruitment of blood neutrophils to the lungs via P2Y(2)R. Moreover, P2Y(2)R deficient animals had a reduced pulmonary inflammation following acute smoke-exposure. A series of experiments with P2Y(2)R(-/-) and wild type chimera animals revealed that P2Y(2)R expression on hematopoietic cell plays the pivotal role in the observed effect. We demonstrate, for the first time, that endogenous ATP contributes to smoke-induced lung inflammation and then development of emphysema via activation of the purinergic receptor subtypes, such as P2Y(2)R.

Abstract
Macrophage activation is critical in the innate immune response and can be regulated by the nucleotide receptor P2X7. In this regard, P2X7 signaling is not well understood but has been implicated in controlling reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by various leukocytes. Although ROS can contribute to microbial killing, the role of ROS in nucleotide-mediated cell signaling is unclear. In this study, we report that the P2X7 agonists ATP and 3'-O-(4-benzoyl) benzoic ATP (BzATP) stimulate ROS production by RAW 264.7 murine macrophages. These effects are potentiated in lipopolysaccharide-primed cells, demonstrating an important interaction between extracellular nucleotides and microbial products in ROS generation. In terms of nucleotide receptor specificity, RAW 264.7 macrophages that are deficient in P2X7 are greatly reduced in their capacity to generate ROS in response to BzATP treatment (both with and without LPS priming), thus supporting a role for P2X7 in this process. Because MAP kinase activation is key for nucleotide regulation of macrophage function, we also tested the hypothesis that P2X7-mediated MAP kinase activation is dependent on ROS production. We observed that BzATP stimulates MAP kinase (ERK1/ERK2, p38, and JNK1/JNK2) phosphorylation and that the antioxidants N-acetylcysteine and ascorbic acid strongly attenuate BzATP-mediated JNK1/JNK2 and p38 phosphorylation but only slightly reduce BzATP-induced ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation. These studies reveal that P2X7 can contribute to macrophage ROS production, that this effect is potentiated upon lipopolysaccharide exposure, and that ROS are important participants in the extracellular nucleotide-mediated activation of several MAP kinase systems.

Abstract
The role of H2O2 as a second messenger in signal transduction pathways is well established. We show here that the NADPH oxidase-dependent production of O2*(-) and H2O2 or respiratory burst in alveolar macrophages (AM) (NR8383 cells) is required for ADP-stimulated c-Jun phosphorylation and the activation of JNK1/2, MKK4 (but not MKK7) and apoptosis signal-regulating kinase-1 (ASK1). ASK1 binds only to the reduced form of thioredoxin (Trx). ADP induced the dissociation of ASK1/Trx complex and thus resulted in ASK1 activation, as assessed by phosphorylation at Thr845, which was enhanced after treatment with aurothioglucose (ATG), an inhibitor of Trx reductase. While dissociation of the complex implies Trx oxidation, protein electrophoretic mobility shift assay detected oxidation of Trx only after bolus H2O2 but not after ADP stimulation. These results demonstrate that the ADP-stimulated respiratory burst activated the ASK1-MKK4-JNK1/c-Jun signaling pathway in AM and suggest that transient and localized oxidation of Trx by the NADPH oxidase-mediated generation of H2O2 may play a critical role in ASK1 activation and the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Elevated levels of extracellular nucleotides are present at sites of inflammation, platelet degranulation and cellular damage or lysis. These extracellular nucleotides can lead to the activation of purinergic (nucleotide) receptors on various leukocytes, including monocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, and neutrophils. In turn, nucleotide receptor activation has been linked to increased cellular production and release of multiple inflammatory mediators, including superoxide anion, nitric oxide and other reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present review, we will summarize the evidence that extracellular nucleotides can facilitate the generation of multiple ROS by leukocytes. In addition, we will discuss several potential mechanisms by which nucleotide-enhanced ROS production may occur. Delineation of these mechanisms is important for understanding the processes associated with nucleotide-induced antimicrobial activities, cell signalling, apoptosis, and pathology.

Abstract
Human health is under constant threat of a wide variety of dangers, both self and nonself. The immune system is occupied with protecting the host against such dangers in order to preserve human health. For that purpose, the immune system is equipped with a diverse array of both cellular and non-cellular effectors that are in continuous communication with each other. The naturally occurring nucleotide adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and its metabolite adenosine (Ado) probably constitute an intrinsic part of this extensive immunological network through purinergic signaling by their cognate receptors, which are widely expressed throughout the body. This review provides a thorough overview of the effects of ATP and Ado on major immune cell types. The overwhelming evidence indicates that ATP and Ado are important endogenous signaling molecules in immunity and inflammation. Although the role of ATP and Ado during the course of inflammatory and immune responses in vivo appears to be extremely complex, we propose that their immunological role is both interdependent and multifaceted, meaning that the nature of their effects may shift from immunostimulatory to immunoregulatory or vice versa depending on extracellular concentrations as well as on expression patterns of purinergic receptors and ecto-enzymes. Purinergic signaling thus contributes to the fine-tuning of inflammatory and immune responses in such a way that the danger to the host is eliminated efficiently with minimal damage to healthy tissues.

Abstract
There are many similarities between the interactions of environmental protozoa with pathogenic bacterial species and those observed in mammalian macrophages. Since single-celled protozoa predate mammalian hosts, it is likely that interactions in environmental biofilms have selected for many of the bacterial virulence mechanisms responsible for human disease. In order to better understand bacterial-phagocyte interactions, we developed a selection for Acanthamoeba castellanii variants that are more resistant to killing by bacterial pathogens. We identified four amoebal clones that display decreased phagocytosis of bacteria but no difference in uptake of latex beads compared to wild-type amoebae. These amoebal variants display differences in cellular morphology, partial resistance to killing by bacteria, more bactericidal activity, and higher frequencies of lysosome fusion with the bacterial vacuole. Three proteins are present at lower levels in these variants than in wild-type amoebae, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry allowed identification of two of them as actin and hsp90. We found that specific inhibitors of hsp90 produce a similar phenotypic effect in macrophages. These data suggest that hsp90 plays a role in phagocytic and, possibly, bactericidal pathways that affect interactions of phagocytic cells with bacteria.

Abstract
Ultrafine (Uf) particles are a component of particulate air pollution suggested to be responsible for the health effects associated with elevations of this pollutant. We have previously suggested that Uf particles, through the induction of oxidative stress, may induce inflammation in the lung, thus exacerbating preexisting illness in susceptible individuals. Alveolar macrophages are considered to play a key role in particlemediated inflammation and lung disease. The effect of Uf particles on rat alveolar macrophages and human blood monocytes was investigated with reference to the roles of calcium and reactive oxygen species (ROS). TNF-alpha protein release, intracellular calcium concentration, TNF-alpha mRNA expression, and transcription factor activation were studied as end points after treatment of rat alveolar macrophages or peripheral blood monocytes. The calcium channel blocker verapamil, the intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA-AM, the calmodulin inhibitor W-7, and the antioxidants Trolox and Nacystelin (NAL) were included in combination with Uf particles. Verapamil reduced intracellular calcium concentration in rat alveolar macrophages on stimulation with Uf particles. This effect was also apparent with transcription factor AP-1 activation. All antagonists and antioxidants reduced Uf-stimulated nuclear localization of the p50 and p65 subunits of NF-kappaB in human monocytes. Verapamil, BAPTA-AM, and NAL reduced Uf-stimulated TNF-alpha protein release, whereas only verapamil reduced Uf-stimulated mRNA expression in rat alveolar macrophages. In human monocytes, verapamil, Trolox, BAPTA-AM, and W-7 reduced Uf-stimulated TNF-alpha protein release. These findings suggest that Uf particles may exert proinflammatory effects by modulating intracellular calcium concentrations, activation of transcription factors, and cytokine production through a ROS-mediated mechanism.

Abstract
This review focuses on the potential role that oxidative stress plays in the adverse effects of PM(10). The central hypothesis is that the ability of PM(10) to cause oxidative stress underlies the association between increased exposure to PM(10) and both exacerbations of lung disease and lung cancer. Pulmonary inflammation may also underlie the cardiovascular effects seen following increased PM(10), although the mechanisms of the cardiovascular effects of PM(10) are not well understood. PM(10) is a complex mix of various particle types and several of the components of PM(10) are likely to be involved in the induction of oxidative stress. The most likely of these are transition metals, ultrafine particle surfaces, and organic compounds. In support of this hypothesis, oxidative stress arising from PM(10) has been shown to activate a number of redox-responsive signaling pathways in lung target cells. These pathways are involved in expression of genes that play a role in responses relevant to inflammation and pathological change, including MAPKs, NF-kappaB, AP-1, and histone acetylation. Oxidative stress from particles is also likely to play an important role in the carcinogenic effects associated with PM(10) and hydroxyl radicals from PM(10) cause DNA damage in vitro.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species released during the respiratory burst are known to participate in cell signaling. Here we demonstrate that hydrogen peroxide produced by the respiratory burst activates AP-1 binding. Stimulation of the macrophage cell line NR8383 with respiratory burst agonists ADP and C5a increased AP-1 binding activity. Importantly, this increase in binding was blocked by catalase, confirming mediation by endogenous H(2)O(2). Moreover, exogenously added H(2)O(2) mimicked the agonists, and also activated AP-1. Antibodies revealed that the activated AP-1 complex is composed predominantly of c-Fos/c-Jun heterodimers. Treatment of the cells with ADP, C5a and H(2)O(2) (100 microM) all increased the phosphorylation of c-Jun. c-Fos protein was increased in cells treated with C5a or high dose (200 microM) H(2)O(2), but not in cells treated with ADP. The MEK inhibitor, PD98059, partially blocked the C5a-mediated increase in AP-1 binding. A novel membrane-permeable peptide inhibitor of JNK, JNKi, also inhibited AP-1 activation. Together these data suggest that C5a-mediated AP-1 activation requires both the activation of the ERK and JNK pathways, whereas activation of the JNK pathway is sufficient to increase AP-1 binding with ADP. Thus, AP-1 activation joins the list of pathways for which the respiratory burst signals downstream events in the macrophage.

Abstract
Potassium channel activity is important for modulating mammalian macrophage antimicrobial functions. The involvement of potassium channels in mediation of immune cell function in lower vertebrates, such as teleost, has not been explored. Since relatively little is known about the types of potassium channels present in fish macrophages, pharmacological blockers with broad ranges of activity were tested: 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), quinine, and tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA). The potassium channel blockers inhibited reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI) and reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) production by goldfish macrophages activated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and/or macrophage activating factor (MAF)-containing supernatants. Quinine was the most potent inhibitor with an IC(50) of 50 microM, while the other blockers, 4-AP and TEA, had IC(50) of 1.2 and 0.6mM, respectively. A reversible depolarization of the goldfish macrophage plasma membrane potential (Vm) was observed following treatments with potassium channel blockers, and was related to transcriptional changes in the inducible nitric oxide synthase gene (iNOS). Down-regulation of antimicrobial activities and depolarization of the goldfish macrophage plasma membrane were not a consequence of reduced cell number or viability, suggesting that potassium channels are required for generation of appropriate goldfish macrophage antimicrobial functions.

Abstract
The respiratory burst in alveolar macrophages is enhanced in vitro by pre-exposure to nontoxic concentrations of hydroperoxides before stimulation by an agonist, which may represent a feed-forward regulatory mechanism. Tricyclodecan-9-yl-xanthate (D609), an inhibitor of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC), suppresses this priming of the respiratory burst by pre-exposure to H(2)O(2) in NR8383 alveolar macrophages (up to 100 microM D609, 400 nmol of H(2)O(2) added to 5 x 10(6) cells 15 min before stimulation with ADP). D609 has potential as an antioxidant due to its dithiocarbonate functional group that allows it to slowly react with H(2)O(2) and rapidly reduce cytochrome c, which interferes with a common assay for the respiratory burst. Nonetheless, the antioxidant properties of D609 do not account for its inhibition of priming of the respiratory burst by H(2)O(2). Reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium is the basis for an assay for superoxide production with which D609 does not interfere. With this assay, it was found that D609 does not inhibit the respiratory burst per se, but prevents its enhancement by pre-exposure to H(2)O(2). Consistent with a role of diacylglycerol generation by phospholipase C, this enhancement was mimicked by pre-exposure to phorbol ester. In contrast with priming, receptor-mediated stimulation of the respiratory burst depends on the better characterized phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. Priming of the respiratory burst by H(2)O(2) joins the list of inflammatory responses that are inhibited by D609. Nevertheless, the results herein indicate that caution should be exercised in the interpretation of the effects of D609 to consider both antioxidant effects and inhibition of PC-PLC.

Abstract
Alveolar macrophages (AM) are the first line of defense against infection in the lungs. We previously showed that the production of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, i.e., the respiratory burst, is stimulated by adenine nucleotides (ADP >> ATP) in rat AM through signaling pathways involving calcium and protein kinase C. Here, we further show that ADP induces a rapid increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins that was reduced by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein, which also inhibited the respiratory burst. Interestingly, ADP did not trigger the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1 and ERK2, or that of protein kinase B/AKT, a downstream target of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. This is in contrast to another stimulus of the respiratory burst, zymosan-activated serum (ZAS), which activates both the ERK and PI3K pathways. Thus, this study demonstrates that the receptor for ADP in rat AM is not coupled to the ERK and AKT pathways and, that neither the ERK pathway nor AKT is essential to induce the activation of the NAPDH oxidase by ADP in rat AM while tyrosine kinases appeared to be required. The rate and amount of hydrogen peroxide released by the ADP-stimulated respiratory burst was similar to that produced by ZAS stimulation. The absence of ERK activation after ADP stimulation therefore suggests that hydrogen peroxide is not sufficient to activate the ERK pathway in rat AM. Nonetheless, as hydrogen peroxide was necessary for ERK activation by ZAS, this indicates that, in contrast to ADP, ZAS stimulates a pathway that is targeted by hydrogen peroxide and leads to ERK activation.

Abstract
Microglial activation following central nervous system damage or disease often culminates in a respiratory burst that is necessary for antimicrobial function, but, paradoxically, can damage bystander cells. We show that several K+ channels are expressed and play a role in the respiratory burst of cultured rat microglia. Three pharmacologically separable K+ currents had properties of Kv1.3 and the Ca2+/calmodulin-gated channels, SK2, SK3, and SK4. mRNA was detected for Kv1.3, Kv1.5, SK2, and/or SK3, and SK4. Protein was detected for Kv1.3, Kv1.5, and SK3 (selective SK2 and SK4 antibodies not available). No Kv1.5-like current was detected, and confocal immunofluorescence showed the protein to be subcellular, in contrast to the robust membrane localization of Kv1.3. To determine whether any of these channels play a role in microglial activation, a respiratory burst was stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and measured using a single cell, fluorescence-based dihydrorhodamine 123 assay. The respiratory burst was markedly inhibited by blockers of SK2 (apamin) and SK4 channels (clotrimazole and charybdotoxin), and to a lesser extent, by the potent Kv1.3 blocker agitoxin-2.

Abstract
Previous investigation showed that preincubation within a range of nontoxic H(2)O(2) concentrations enhanced subsequently stimulated superoxide production by rat alveolar macrophages in response to various stimuli. In the present study, the NR8383 rat alveolar macrophage cell line was used to further investigate the priming effect of H(2)O(2). Using nitroblue tetrazolium, which formed an insoluble formazan when reduced by superoxide, modulation of the respiratory burst was visualized in a cell population exposed to a concentration gradient of H(2)O(2) before stimulation. This model system illustrates how H(2)O(2) may constitute a signaling molecule for a feed-forward regulation of the respiratory burst during inflammation. n-Butanol, which allows consumption of phosphatidic acid by the transphosphatidylation reaction, and propanolol, which inhibits phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase, were used to investigate the possible involvement of phospholipase D in this phenomenon. These two agents were found to inhibit the basal adenosine diphosphate-stimulated respiratory burst. Inhibition of the H(2)O(2)-enhanced respiratory burst was equally or slightly less effective when expressed as percentage of controls. Furthermore, phospholipase D was not activated by H(2)O(2) concentrations that enhance superoxide production. Thus, phospholipase D does not mediate the enhancement of the respiratory burst by H(2)O(2), although it may be activated by high concentrations of this hydroperoxide.

Abstract
The activation of macrophages by various stimuli leading to chemotactic migration and phagocytosis is known to be mediated by an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). We measured changes in [Ca2+]i using a Ca2+ imaging method in individual human macrophages differentiated from freshly prepared peripheral blood monocytes during culture of 1-2 days. A transient rise in [Ca2+]i (duration 3-4 min) occurred in 10-15 macrophages in the vicinity of a single tumour cell that was attacked and permeabilized by a natural killer cell in a dish. Similar Ca2+ transients were produced in 90% of macrophages by application of supernatant obtained after inducing the lysis of tumour cells with hypo-osmotic treatment. Ca2+ transients were also evoked by ATP in a dose-dependent manner between 0.1 and 100 microm. The ATP-induced [Ca2+]i rise was reduced to less than one-quarter in Ca2+-free medium, indicating that it is mainly due to Ca2+ entry and partly due to intracellular Ca2+ release. UTP (P2U purinoceptor agonist) was more potent than ATP or 2-chloro-ATP (P2Y agonist). Oxidized ATP (P2Z antagonist) had no inhibitory effect. Both cell lysate- and ATP-induced Ca2+ responses were inhibited by Reactive Blue 2 (P2Y and P2U antagonist) to the same extent, but were not affected by PPADS (P2X antagonist). Sequential stimuli by cell lysate and ATP underwent long-lasting desensitization in the Ca2+ response to the second stimulation. The present study supports the view that macrophages respond to signal messengers discharged from damaged or dying cells to be ingested, and ATP is at least one of the messengers and causes a [Ca2+]i rise via P2U and P2Y receptors.

Abstract
Abstract
Signaling by extracellular nucleotides through P2 purinergic receptors affects diverse macrophage functions; however, its role in regulating antimicrobial radicals during bacterial infection has not been investigated. Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macrophages released ATP in a dose-dependent manner, which correlated with nitrite accumulation. P2 receptor inhibitors, including oxidized ATP, blocked NO synthase (NOSII) up-regulation and NO production induced by infection with M. tuberculosis or bacille Calmette-Guérin, or treatment with LPS or TNF-α. Oxidized ATP also inhibited oxygen radical production and activation of NF-κB and AP-1 in response to infection and inhibited NO-dependent killing of bacille Calmette-Guérin by macrophages. Experiments using macrophages derived from P2X7 gene-disrupted mice ruled out an essential role for P2X7 in NOSII regulation. These data demonstrate that P2 receptors regulate macrophage activation in response to bacteria and proinflammatory stimuli, and suggest that extracellular nucleotides released from infected macrophages may enhance production of oxygen radicals and NO at sites of infection.

Abstract
Microglia are immunocompetent cells in the brain that have many similarities with macrophages of peripheral tissues. In normal adult brain, microglial cells are in a resting state, but they become activated during inflammation of the central nervous system, after neuronal injury, and in several neurological diseases. Patch-clamp studies of microglial cells in cell culture and in tissue slices demonstrate that microglia express a wide variety of ion channels. Six different types of K+ channels have been identified in microglia, namely, inward rectifier, delayed rectifier, HERG-like, G protein-activated, as well as voltage-dependent and voltage-independent Ca2+-activated K+ channels. Moreover, microglia express H+ channels, Na+ channels, voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, Ca2+-release activated Ca2+ channels, and voltage-dependent and voltage-independent Cl- channels. With respect to their kinetic and pharmacological properties, most microglial ion channels closely resemble ion channels characterized in other macrophage preparations. Expression patterns of ion channels in microglia depend on the functional state of the cells. Microglial ion channels can be modulated by exposure to lipopolysaccharide or various cytokines, by activation of protein kinase C or G proteins, by factors released from astrocytes, by changes in the concentration of internal free Ca2+, and by variations of the internal or external pH. There is evidence suggesting that ion channels in microglia are involved in maintaining the membrane potential and are also involved in proliferation, ramification, and the respiratory burst. Further possible functional roles of microglial ion channels are discussed.

Abstract
Regulation of the free intracellular calcium concentration, [Ca2+]i, plays a major role in physiological signal transduction. Many of the essential enzymes in signaling cascades are Ca(2+)-dependent, as are numerous proteins that participate in the regulated function. Oxidative stress, which for many years was considered synonymous with cell and tissue injury, has more recently been demonstrated to alter signal transduction in both positive and negative directions. The realization that hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxides are produced as part of normal metabolism has led to the proposal that these oxidants function as second messengers. Exposure to environmental and other agents that produce hydroperoxides or the addition of exogenous hydroperoxides also causes elevation of [Ca2+]i in some cells. At sublethal exposure to hydroperoxides, the elevation in [Ca2+]i can either alter or mimic physiological stimulation. In addition to endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and the extracellular space, the phospholipid- and Ca(2+)-binding proteins known as annexins constitute a Ca2+ pool from which this ion may be released under situations of oxidative stress. In this article, the source and consequences of Ca2+ elevation are reviewed with an emphasis on studies done with alveolar macrophages. These phagocytes, which modulate much of the physiological and immunological function of the lung, are susceptible targets for environmental oxidants.

Abstract
Cells can respond to a sublethal oxidative stress by up-regulating their intracellular glutathione (GSH) pool. Such increased GSH concentration is likely to be protective against further oxidative challenge, and, in fact, pre-exposure to low levels of oxidants confers increased cellular resistance to subsequent greater oxidative stress. Previously, we have shown that pretreatment of rat lung epithelial L2 cells with sublethal concentrations of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) increases intracellular GSH concentration in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. This increase resulted from up-regulation of both gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) and gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (GCS). Therefore, we investigated whether such increased GSH concentration protected these cells against a subtle loss in function caused by a subsequent challenge with sublethal concentrations of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBOOH) (< or = 200 microM), mimicking a physiological oxidative stress. Activation of L2 cell purinoreceptors with 100 microM ADP caused an elevation of intracellular Ca2+. This response was suppressed by a brief pre-exposure to tBOOH. The inhibition, however, was alleviated dramatically by a 16-hr pretreatment with 50 microM TBHQ. The same TBHQ pretreatment also protected the cells from ATP-depletion induced by tBOOH. L-Buthionine S,R-sulfoximine (BSO), an irreversible inhibitor of GCS, prevented the increase in intracellular GSH and also completely removed the protection by TBHQ in maintaining the ATP level. Thus, pre-exposure to a sublethal level of TBHQ results in protection of cell functions from hydroperoxide toxicity. This protection appears to depend on alteration of the intracellular GSH pool, the modulation of which constitutes an adaptive response to oxidative stress.

Abstract
Oxidative stress can cause changes in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) that resemble those occurring under normal cell signaling. In the alveolar macrophage, hydroperoxide-induced elevation of [Ca2+]i modulates the respiratory burst and other important physiologic functions. The source of Ca2+ released by hydroperoxide is intracellular but separate from the endoplasmic reticulum pool released by receptor-mediated stimuli (Hoyal, C. R., Gozal, E., Zhou, H., Foldenauer, K., and Forman, H. J. (1996) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 326, 166-171). Previous studies in other cells have suggested that mitochondria are a potential source of oxidant-induced [Ca2+]i elevation. In this study we have identified another potential source of hydroperoxide-releasable intracellular calcium, that bound to annexin VI on the inner surface of the plasma membrane. Translocation of annexin VI from the membrane during exposure to t-butyl hydroperoxide matched elevation of [Ca2+]i as a function of time and t-butyl hydroperoxide concentration. The translocation was possibly due to a combination of ATP depletion and oxidative modification of membrane lipids and proteins. A sustained increase in [Ca2+]i occurring > 50 pmol/10(6) cells (50 microM under these conditions) appeared to be a consequence of membrane Ca2+-ATPase dysfunction. These results suggest that exposure to oxidative stress results in early alterations to the plasma membrane and concomitant release of Ca2+ into the cytosol. In addition it suggests a mechanism for participation of annexin VI translocation that may underlie the alterations in macrophage function by oxidative stress.

Abstract
This study demonstrated that aldehydes are released into the extracellular medium when alveolar macrophages (AM) are exposed to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) at concentrations that impair cell function but do not cause cell death. Butanal, glycolaldehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, pentanal, pentenal, and hexanal were found. Dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNP) derivitization, thin layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to identify the products. Some of the aldehydes have potential toxicity and may be responsible, in part, for altered AM function observed following NO2 exposure.
