Abstract:
:The addition of low concentrations of the chemotactic factor fMet-Leu-Phe to rabbit neutrophils in the absence of cytochalasin B produces very little superoxide. This level of superoxide can be greatly increased in neutrophils pretreated for 30 min with 10 microM of the diacyl-glycerol kinase inhibitor R59022. This potentiation occurs also in the presence of cytochalasin B. In addition, while the small level of superoxide generated by fMet-Leu-Phe is not inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl)-2-methyl piperazine (H-7), the increase by R59022 is completely abolished by this compound. In addition, this increase can be potentiated further by leupeptin. Unlike superoxide generation, the release of lysozyme or N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase produced by fMet-Leu-Phe is not stimulated by R59022. The results presented here suggest that stimulation of the oxidative burst requires the generation and the maintenance of a sufficient amount of diacylglycerol and/or the rearrangement of the cytoskeleton such as the inhibition of actin polymerization. Furthermore, the membrane-associated form of protein kinase C is the one responsible for the activation of the oxidative burst. The relationship between protein kinase C activation and the stimulated oxidative burst and the physiological role of chemotactic factors in the functions of the neutrophils are discussed.
