Sensitization of human neutrophil defense activities through activation of platelet-activating factor receptors by ginkgolide B, a bioactive component of the Ginkgo biloba extract EGB 761.

Abstract:

:Ginkgolide B (GKB, BN 52021) was described as a platelet-activating factor (Paf) receptor antagonist. However, it is not known whether all GKB biological effects are mediated through Paf receptor antagonism only. To gain insight into the drug mode of action, we investigated here the effects of GKB per se on functional and signaling activities in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Treatment of PMN with GKB (0.5-12 microM) stimulates a rapid and weak production of reactive oxygen species determined by chemiluminescence. ROS production required the activation of protein kinase C (PKC), tyrosine kinases and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase as indicated by inhibitory effects of, respectively, GF 109203X (IC(50) of 0.5 microM), genistein (IC(50) of 0.5 microM) and SB 203580 (IC(50) of 0.2 microM) or SB 202190 (IC(50) of 1.1 microM). GKB stimulated a Pertussis toxin-sensitive PLD activity assessed by the formation of tritiated phosphatidic acid and choline. By contrast, GKB did prevent the Paf-mediated PLD activity and CL response (IC(50) of 2 microM). Interestingly, both GKB and Paf-induced CL response were prevented by selective Paf antagonists such as CV 6209 or WEB 2086 indicating that GKB may directly activate Paf receptors. Finally, GKB potentiated the CL response induced by fMet-Leu-Phe and zymosan. These results show that GKB is the first partial agonist of the Paf receptor described so far capable of priming the polymorphonuclear leukocyte function.
