Involvement of Phosphatidic Acid in both Degranulation and Oxidative Activity in fMet-Leu-Phe Stimulated Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes

Abstract: Background/Aim: Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) release a variety of toxic agents – proteins and reactive oxygen species (ROS) – that are used to inactivate foreign microorganisms in the non-specific immune response. This study was undertaken to compare intracellular signalling pathways that lead to the ROS production as well as degranulation of azurophilic granules of human fMet-Leu-Phe/cytochalasin B stimulated neutrophils. Methods: Luminol-amplified chemiluminescence was used for monitoring the o… Show more

“…3). Our results are supported by other studies showing that degranulation by CXCL8 or other mediators is also dependent on PI3K activation (55‐57). In PMN the PI3K pathway is separate from Ca 2+ mobilization because wortmannin does not influence the rise in intracellular Ca 2+ after stimulation with CXCL8 (23, 24), and Ca 2+ mobilization after leukotriene B4 stimulation is not reduced in PI3Kγ KO mice (24).…”

“…This result is also in agreement with the inhibition by secinH3 of MPO, lactoferrin, and MMP9 secretion, which are selective markers of primary, secondary, and tertiary granules, respectively. The molecular mechanism by which cytohesin-1 regulates granule secretion remains to be studied, but a potential explanation may be provided by inhibition of the production of fusogenic lipids, such as PLD-derived PA (77) and/or the remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton (61). Indeed, the actin cytoskeleton regulates the secretion of several PMN granules (78), and a direct association of cytohesin-1 with the actin cytoskeleton has already been reported (54).…”

“…A study by Hills indicates that alterations in phospholipid composition and concentrations are associated with the development of OA 23 . Phospholipids and enzymes involved in lipid metabolism were demonstrated to affect the regulation of the signaling steps leading to neutrophil activation 24,25 . In addition, lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) plays an important role in inflammation 26 .…”
