Cyclic AMP inhibition of fMet-Leu-Phe-dependent metabolic responses in human neutrophils is not due to its effects on cytosolic Ca2+

Abstract: Cyclic AMP powerfully inhibits the fMet-Leu-Phe-dependent respiratory burst and exocytosis of azurophilic and specific granules without affecting Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. The elevation of [Ca2+]i induced by fMet-Leu-Phe is short-lived in cyclic AMP-treated cells and similar to that of untreated cells stimulated in the absence of external Ca2+. Nevertheless, in these latter cells fMet-Leu-Phe induces metabolic activation. We therefore suggest that the inhibitory action of cyclic AMP on neutrophil… Show more

“…3F), in accordance with previous reports (9,10). It is tempting to speculate that receptor-operated Ca 2ϩ channel is one of the targets of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, since cAMP-increasing agents were incapable of inhibiting thapsigargin-induced Ca 2ϩ influx (Fig.…”

“…Changes in plasma membrane potential were measured with the fluorescent dye bis [l1,3-diethylthiobarbiturate) trimethineoxonal (bisoxonol; Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR) at the wavelength pair 540/580 nm, as previously described (25). Experiments were performed in a spectrofluorometer (model LS50, Perkin-Elmer Ltd., Beaconsfield, UK) equipped with a thermostat-controlled (37°C) cuvette holder and magnetic stirTer.…”

“…Chemotaxis was measured in the chamber previously described containing the chemoattractant in the bottom compartment. The chemotactic factors used were as follows: casein "Hammarsten" (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) at a concentration of 2 mg/ml in KrebsRinger phosphate containing 0.1% (wt/vol) glucose and 0.5 mg/ml BSA, pH 7.4; fMet-Leu-Phe (FMLP) at a concentration of 10-8 M; and pooled fresh serum (15%) activated with LPS (25 The first phase is due mainly to Ca2' release from intracellular stores; the second reflects Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane, probably via the newly identified but still poorly characterized Ca2' release-activated plasma membrane Ca2+ channels (32). As shown in Fig.…”

“…At least three different intracellular messenger systems are involved in these events: (a) An increase in [Ca 2+ ] i activates various neutrophil functions (3-5); (b) Protein kinase C probably has a dual regulatory role, stimulating and inhibiting neutrophil functions (6)(7)(8); (c) cyclic adenosine monophosphate, cAMP, is an intracellular inhibitor of neutrophil function (9)(10)(11). The involvement of other intracellular messenger systems is likely, but unproven.…”
