Abstract:
:The cyclic pyrimidine nucleotide, cCMP, is an endogenous substance in mammalian cells but little is known on its functional role. We studied the effects of cCMP, its cell-permeant analogue, N4,2'-O-dibutyryl cytidine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (Bt2cCMP), and of butyrate on superoxide (O2-) formation and cytosolic Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) in human neutrophils. Bt2cCMP inhibited O2- formation and the rise in [Ca2+]i induced by a chemotactic peptide at submaximally effective concentrations. O2- formation induced by platelet-activating factor was potentiated by Bt2cCMP, whereas the cyclic nucleotide had no effect on the rise in [Ca2+]i induced by this agonist. Bt2cCMP enhanced O2- formation induced by tau-hexachlorocyclohexane at a submaximally effective concentration. O2- formation stimulated by complement C5a, concanavalin A, NaF, A 23187, phorbol myristate acetate and arachidonic acid was not affected by Bt2cCMP. cCMP was less effective than Bt2cCMP to inhibit fMet-Leu-Phe-induced O2- formation, and butyrate was without effect on any of the functional parameters studied. Our data show that a cell-permeant analogue of cCMP differentially inhibits and potentiates activation of human neutrophils.
