Abstract
We examined in detail the tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins, especially inositol phospholipid-specific phospholipase C (PLC) gamma 2, during activation of respiratory burst of guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) by pervanadate. The pervanadate, generated from a combination of H2O2 and orthovanadate, induced concomitantly tyrosine phosphorylation of 145, 120, 104, 76, 68, 60, 53, 42, 37, 28, and 25 kDa proteins and superoxide anion (O2-) production of PMNs. The pretreatment of PMNs with genistein caused an inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins, and also markedly depressed O2- production. Among the above proteins, a 145 kDa protein was found to be identical with the protein recognized by the anti-PLC gamma 2 antibody on Western blots. PLC gamma 2 was detected in the cytosol fraction but not in the membrane fraction of resting PMNs, whereas it was detected in both cytosol and membrane fractions of pervanadate treated PMNs. PLC activity of pervanadate treated PMNs was higher than that of resting cells. In addition, the enzyme activity of the cytosol fraction from the former cells was significantly lower than that from the latter cells, whereas the enzyme activity of membrane fraction from the former cells was significantly higher than that from the latter cells. These findings suggest that the tyrosine residue(s) of PLC gamma 2 is phosphorylated and the enzyme is translocated from the cytosol to membrane fractions in PMNs by pervanadate treatment.

Abstract
Effects of protein kinase C inhibitors, staurosporine and 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride and protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors, genistein, tyrphostin and 2,5-dimethylcinnamate on the neutrophil responses stimulated by immunoglobulin G (IgG), complement C5a or platelet-activating factor were studied. After receptor binding, the role of protein kinase C and protein tyrosine kinase in the stimulation of neutrophil responses, superoxide production and lysosomal enzyme release in degraded IgG-activated neutrophils may be similar to chemoattractant-stimulated cells. In contrast to complement C5a or platelet-activating factor, protein tyrosine kinase appears to play an important role in the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in neutrophils activated by degraded IgG rather than by protein kinase C.

Abstract
We examined the effects of okadaic acid, a protein phosphatase 1 and 2A inhibitor, on superoxide generation in human neutrophils. Superoxide generation induced by fMLP was inhibited by low-dose okadaic acid (10-100 nM), but it had no effect on superoxide synthesis by PMA, and the fMLP-induced rise of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration was not affected by low-dose okadaic acid. These findings suggested that the inhibitory mechanism of okadaic acid might involve PKC-independent and Ca(2+)-independent pathways in fMLP induced NADPH oxidase activation. Both fMLP-stimulated phosphorylation of serine residues in p47phox and its translocation to the plasma membrane were suppressed by low-dose okadaic acid. On the other hand, PMA-induced phosphorylation and translocation of p47phox were not affected by such a low dose of okadaic acid. These findings suggested that fMLP induced phosphorylation of serine residues in p47phox was regulated by protein phosphatase 2A, and its phosphorylation was necessary for translocation and superoxide generation in fMLP-activated human neutrophils.

Abstract
Previously employed non-selective protein kinase inhibitors yielded inconclusive results regarding involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) in phosphorylation of 47 kDa protein (p47 phox) in intact neutrophils stimulated with physiologic agonists of superoxide generation. In the present study, phosphorylation of p47 phox in formylMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP) stimulated neutrophils was potently inhibited in the presence of 0.3 microM RO 31-8220, a selective inhibitor of PKC. These results provide experimental evidence in support of the currently considered essential involvement of PKC in p47 phox phosphorylation in response to physiologic stimulation of neutrophil surface receptors. The fMLP-induced phosphorylation of p47 phox was enhanced and prolonged by calyculin A, a specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases of types 1 and 2A, and such enhanced phosphorylation was also effectively inhibited by RO 31-8220. Our results suggest that the extent and duration of p47 phox phosphorylation in intact fMLP-stimulated neutrophils is probably controlled by a balance between the activities of PKC, on the one hand, and of protein phosphatase(s) of type(s) 1 and/or 2A, on the other. Effects of RO 31-8220 and of calyculin A on the fMLP-induced p47 phox phosphorylation were paralleled by similar effects on superoxide release. Calyculin A and RO 31-8220 were also used to study signal transduction by a post-receptor agonist of superoxide generation, a calcium ionophore A23187. The results of the latter study indicated that PKC was activated in A23187-stimulated neutrophils and was essentially involved in superoxide generation and p47 phox phosphorylation. Further, these results suggested that protein phosphatase(s) of type(s) 1 and/or 2A were also activated in A23187-signalling pathway, and limited the extent of superoxide release and p47 phox phosphorylation.

Abstract
Sodium beraprost, a newly synthesized PGI2 analogue inhibited in a dose-dependent manner formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) induced superoxide generation of human neutrophils, but it had no effect on the superoxide synthesis by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or A23187. Sodium beraprost inhibited Ca2+ influx in fMLP stimulated neutrophils employing fluorometry and confocal microscopy. These findings suggested that the inhibitory effect of sodium beraprost on fMLP induced superoxide generation was due to suppression of Ca2+ influx. To examine the relationship between the effect of sodium beraprost and phosphorylation of p47phox (the 47kDa cytosolic phagocyte oxidase factor), immuno-precipitation of p47phox and western blotting for phospho-amino acids were performed. Phosphorylation of serine residues of p47phox induced by fMLP was reduced in the presence of sodium beraprost in a dose-dependent manner. The reduction in phosphorylation was accompanied by a reduction in p47phox and p67phox translocation to the plasma membrane and superoxide generation. These findings suggested that p47phox phosphorylation was necessary for translocation and superoxide generation in fMLP activated neutrophils, and that p47phox phosphorylation was regulated by a Ca2+ dependent mechanism. These observations suggested that sodium beraprost inhibited fMLP induced superoxide generation of human neutrophils by the inhibition of p47phox phosphorylation and translocation by a Ca2+ dependent mechanism.

Abstract
Philadelphia (Ph)-positive leukemias invariably contain a chromosomal translocation fusing BCR to ABL. The BCR-ABL protein is responsible for leukemogenesis. Here we show that exposure of bcr-null mutant mice to gram-negative endotoxin led to severe septic shock and increased tissue injury by neutrophils. Neutrophils of bcr (-/-) mice showed a pronounced increase in reactive oxygen metabolite production upon activation and were more sensitive to priming stimuli. Activated (-/-) neutrophils displayed a 3-fold increased p21rac2 membrane translocation compared with (+/+) neutrophils. These results connect Bcr in vivo with the regulation of Rac-mediated superoxide production by the NADPH-oxidase system of leukocytes and suggest a link between Bcr function and the cell type affected in Ph-positive leukemia.

Abstract
The influence of peplomycin (PLM) and azelastine hydrochloride (Azeptin) on reactive oxygen (RO) and cytokine generation was examined in human peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), and rabbit alveolar macrophages (RAM). In addition, the influence of these drugs on DNA and collagen synthesis was investigated in human gingival and rabbit pulmonary fibroblasts. In vitro, PLM increased the FMLP- and PMA-induced chemiluminescence and superoxide (O2-) generation in human PMN and RAM in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast to PLM, Azeptin dose-dependently suppressed RO generation. Such contrasting actions of PLM and Azeptin were also observed in RAM and PMN obtained from rabbits treated with PLM or Azeptin. Even when human PMN were preincubated with 10-100 micrograms/ml of PLM, the increase in RO generation was negligible in the presence of 10(-5) M Azeptin in the culture medium. No increases in RO generation were observed in RAM or PMN obtained from rabbits that had received PLM (0.1 mg/kg per day) and Azeptin (0.04 mg/kg per day) concomitantly. PLM suppressed superoxide dismutase activity in RAM and human PMN, while Azeptin did not affect this activity. In vitro, PLM up-regulated the release of interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor both from human cells and from RAM and pulmonary fibroblasts. In the generation of these cytokines, Azeptin abrogated the up-regulatory action of PLM. PLM and Azeptin also had contrasting actions in [3H]thymidine and [3H]proline incorporation in human and rabbit fibroblasts. Furthermore, protein tyrosine phosphorylation, in particular that of a 115-kDa protein in human PMN, was suppressed by Azeptin and enhanced by PLM. These results seem to indicate that up-regulated RO and collagen generation are the causative factors of PLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis and that Azeptin may suppress the adverse effect.

Abstract
Professional phagocytes, neutrophils, possess a unique membrane-associated NADPH-oxidase system, dormant in resting cells, which becomes activated upon exposure to the appropriate stimuli and catalyzes the one-electron reduction of molecular oxygen to superoxide, O2-. Oxidase activation involves the assembly, in the plasma membrane, of membrane-bound and cytosolic constituents of the oxidase system, which are disassembled in the resting state. The oxidase system consists of two plasma membrane-bound components; low-potential cytochrome b558, which is composed of two subunits of 22-kDa, and 91-kDa, and a possible flavoprotein related to the electron transport between NADPH and cytochrome b558. Recent reports have indicated that FAD-binding sites of the oxidase are contained in cytochrome b558. At least two cytosolic components, 67-kDa protein and a phosphorylated 47-kDa protein, are known to translocate to the plasma membrane, ensuring assembly of an active O2(-)-generating NADPH-oxidase system. It is the purpose of this review to focus on recent data concerning electron transfer mechanisms of the activated neutrophil NADPH-oxidase complex and molecular pathology of chronic granulomatous disease.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors, staurosporine or 1,5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H7), inhibited NADPH oxidase activity and phosphorylation of 47 kDa protein (p47) in PMA-stimulated neutrophils in a dose-dependent manner. These PKC inhibitors, at the same doses, did not affect oxidase activity and caused only partial inhibition of p47 phosphorylation in OZ-stimulated neutrophils. There was residual (20%) phosphorylated p47 in the membranes of OZ-stimulated cells in the presence of PKC inhibitors, at concentrations which caused total inhibition of oxidase activity and p47 phosphorylation in PMA-stimulated neutrophils. In the presence of ionomycin, which increased intracellular calcium ion concentrations, staurosporine was less effective in inhibiting both superoxide generation and p47 phosphorylation stimulated by PMA, similar to its effect in OZ-stimulated cells. The results indicate that some phosphorylation of p47 always accompanied oxidase activation induced by PMA or OZ, though the degree of phosphorylation of membrane-bound p47 does not directly correlate with rates of superoxide production.

Abstract
Previous studies from this laboratory described the kinetic characteristics of the inhibition by tosylphenylalanine chloromethane (TosPheCH2Cl) on superoxide anion production by human neutrophils (PMN) stimulated with a phorbol ester (PMA). In this study we present further evidence concerning the potential role of the chloromethane target in the normal cellular activation of NADPH oxidase. When PMN are treated with TosPheCH2Cl and subsequently PMA, or with the two reagents in the reverse order, the inhibition of superoxide production by the intact cells is still present in a particulate NADPH oxidase fraction prepared from these cells. Nevertheless, when cells incubated only with the chloromethane and not with PMA are disrupted, both their cytosolic and membrane fractions are fully competent in the cell-free activation assay. Thus, the chloromethane target has a role in NADPH oxidase activation exclusively at the cellular level. This observation constitutes additional evidence in favour of the idea that activation in the cell-free system reflects only partially the events which occur in the cells. When cells are activated with PMA, their cytosol displays a loss of activating capacity in the cell-free activation assay in the presence of arachidonate, as was shown before with SDS as activator [Ambruso, D. R., Bolsher, B. G. J. M., Stockman, P. M., Verhoeven, A. J. & Roos, D. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 924-930]. This phenomenon was shown to arise most probably from the translocation of cytosolic factors to the membrane, resulting in a depleted cytosol. When superoxide production was inhibited by cell treatment with TosPheCH2Cl, either before or after activation with PMA, the cytosol from inhibited cells showed a recovery of activation capacity in the cell-free system. This effect probably results from TosPheCH2Cl inhibiting the translocation of the cytosolic factors when added before PMA. This results in an insufficient activation at the membrane level, which was previously considered as an inhibition. The effect of TosPheCH2Cl, when added after PMA, can best be explained again as an inhibition of translocation in the frame of the continuous replenishment-deactivation hypothesis proposed by Akard et al. [Akard, L. P., English, D. & Gabig, T. G. (1988) Blood 72, 322-327]. Thus, TosPheCH2Cl is apparently a promising new tool for studying the activation of NADPH oxidase at the cellular level.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
In the present study, we have examined the regulation of attachment, onset of proliferation and the subsequent growth, in vitro, of chick retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells as a function of the nature of the substratum and of either the activation or inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC). The RPE cells have an adhesive preference for protein carpets which contain laminin. This preference disappears gradually with time in culture. The adhesion of RPE cells to fibronectin is shown to be a receptor-mediated process which involves the RGD recognition signal. This study also demonstrates that a PKC activator, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), affects RPE cell adhesion in a substratum-dependent manner. Exposure of RPE cells to TPA lowers the cell attachment efficacy to ECM protein substrata but does not affect cell attachment to plastic. The onset of cell proliferation is accelerated by TPA on all of the substrata tested. The minimal duration of an effective TPA pulse exerting a long-lasting influence on RPE cell proliferation is between 1.5 and 3.5 hr. Stimulation of cell proliferation by TPA in long-term cultures is independent of the nature of the growth substratum. The acceleration of the onset of cell proliferation by TPA is sensitive to 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H7), an inhibitor of conventional PKC, and thus appears to be dependent on the activation of conventional PKC. H7 also affects cell-cell contacts, causing an alteration in the shape ("squaring") of RPE cells packed into large colonies. Conversely, the effects of TPA on both the attachment and the long-term proliferation of RPE cells are not dependent a conventional PKC isotype, since H7 cannot abolish the influence of TPA on either process. We conclude that the effect of TPA on long-term proliferation of RPE cells is either dependent on a novel PKC isotype or independent of PKC.

Abstract
To more closely examine the role of the cell surface in transmembrane signal transduction in human neutrophils, sealed right-side-out membrane vesicles free of organellar membrane components were used as models of the plasma membrane. These vesicles, incubated with a fluorescent analogue of the chemotactic peptide fMLP, bound this ligand similarly in extent and kinetics to intact neutrophils. Vesicles responded to this stimulation with a slow increase in internal [Ca++] which was inhibited by EGTA but not by verapamil; the cytosolic Ca++ transient seen in intact cells within 10 sec of stimulation was absent in vesicles. The vesicles also maintained a transmembrane potential (psi) and were depolarized by the K+ ionophore valinomycin. However, unlike intact cells which hyperpolarized and then depolarized in response to fMLP, the vesicles demonstrated only a sustained hyperpolarization. Vesicles also differed from intact cells by not producing superoxide (O2-) in response to fMLP. Finally, fMLP caused dramatic alterations in membrane vesicle lipid metabolism: at early time points (within 5-10 sec), there was a transient production of diacylglycerol (DAG) concomitant with inositol lipid breakdown, with no apparent hydrolysis of non-inositol phospholipids. For up to 5 min after stimulation, there was no increase in the levels of phosphatidic acid or of inositol lipids. Thus, a significant portion of the signalling pathway in neutrophils is located at the cell surface or in the plasma membrane and functions independently of intracellular components. Furthermore, the plasma membrane is intimately involved in events occurring during both the early (DAG generation) and late (slow, prolonged rise in [Ca++]) phases of cellular response. In contrast, several of the responses to fMLP (the Ca++ transient, depolarization, generation of O2-, recycling of lipid metabolites) involve signalling machinery not constitutively resident on the neutrophil surface.

Abstract
The ability of human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) to induce phosphorylation of protein tyrosyl residues in human peripheral neutrophils (PMN) was investigated by Western blot analysis with antiphosphotyrosine antibody. Both TNF-alpha and G-CSF increased the tyrosyl phosphorylation of various proteins, such as species of 54-, 63-, 72-, 83-, 98-, 108-, and 115-kDa proteins. The ligand-stimulated tyrosyl phosphorylation of the 115-kDa protein was time- and concentration-dependent. When the 115-kDa protein was phosphorylated, it was recovered from membrane fractions. The phosphorylation of the 115-kDa protein was inhibited by genistein and alpha-cyano-3-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-phenylthiomethylcinnamamide (ST 638), inhibitors of tyrosine kinase (TK), and was enhanced by 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl) methyl-piperazine dihydrochloride (H-7) and staurosporine, inhibitors of Ca(2+)- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKC). Similar inhibition by the TK inhibitors and stimulation by the PKC inhibitors were also observed with formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)-induced superoxide (O2.-) generation by TNF-alpha- or G-CSF-primed PMN. Phosphorylation of the 115-kDa protein occurred in parallel with the ligand-dependent generation of O2.-. These and other observations suggested that substrate proteins for tyrosine kinase, such as the 115-kDa protein, might play critical roles in the mechanism for priming of neutrophils. This is the first report describing that tyrosyl phosphorylation is involved in the priming of neutrophils by G-CSF and TNF-alpha.

Abstract
When stimulated with different stimuli, neutrophils generate various active oxygen species. These active oxygen molecules can be analyzed by luminol chemiluminescence (LCL). Phosphatidylserine (PS)-liposomes increased the formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-induced LCL of guinea pig peritoneal neutrophils without affecting their oxygen consumption and superoxide (O2.-) generation. Similar effects of PS-liposomes were also observed in LCL of neutrophils stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate or arachidonic acid but not by opsonized zymosan. Kinetic analysis revealed that the PS-liposome-induced increase in LCL depended on extracellulary generated O2.-. Moreover, the stimulatory effect of PS could be seen only when it formed liposomal membranes. The effect of PS-liposomes was also inhibited by superoxide dismutase, catalase, and deferoxamine, an iron chelator, but not by azide, an inhibitor of myeloperoxidase. Similar enhancement of stimulation-dependent LCL response was also observed with Fe3+ and ADP-Fe3+, but the degree of enhancement was much greater with PS-liposomes than with iron and its complex. The increase in hydroxyl radical generation by PS-liposome-treated neutrophils was confirmed by experiments with EPR spectrometry using spin-trapping agents. These results suggested that the interaction of neutrophils with PS-containing membrane surface might generate reactive oxygen species that enhance the stimulus-dependent LCL response of neutrophils.

Abstract
Upon stimulation by various ligands, freshly isolated human peripheral neutrophils (PMN) respond in a variety of ways, such as superoxide (O2-.) generation, phagocytosis enzyme release, migration etc. Chemotactic peptide formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) and opsonized zymosan activate neutrophils by a receptor-mediated mechanism, while phorbol myristate acetate and dioctanoylglycerol activate the cells by a mechanism involving Ca(2+)-and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKC). Receptor-mediated but not PKC-mediated O2-. generation in PMN was enhanced by the priming of recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). FMLP-dependent luminol chemiluminescence was also enhanced by G-CSF. However, no appreciable enhancement was observed in FMLP-induced intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i). Enhancement of FMLP-induced generation of O2-. by G-CSF was inhibited by genistein or alpha-cyano-3-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-phenylthiomethylcinnamamide (ST 638), inhibitors of tyrosine kinase (TK), and was stimulated by staurosporine and 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-3-methyl-piperazine (H-7), inhibitors of PKC. The ED50 values of genistein and ST 638 for the inhibition of the FMLP-induced O2-. generation from G-CSF were 0.5 and 5 microM, respectively. In contrast, O2-. generation by PKC activation without G-CSF priming was inhibited by stauroporine and H-7, but was stimulated by genistein and ST 638. These results suggested that the enhancing effect of G-CSF on receptor-mediated generation of the O2-. might be regulated by protein kinases, such as TK and PKC, and that the TK inhibitor selectively inhibited the G-CSF-primed receptor-mediated O2-. generation of neutrophils.

Abstract
Rat peritoneal macrophages were incubated in the presence of beta-naphthylamine (beta-NA), a well known carcinogenic agent, and some parameters of respiratory burst were studied. beta-NA induced a time- and dose-dependent stimulation of superoxide anion (O-2) production, and this enhancement was suppressed by the addition of superoxide dismutase enzyme. Also, no cooperative effect between beta-NA and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate was observed. Other observations were as follows: (i) the simultaneous presence of polymyxin B, and staurosporine inhibitors of protein kinase C, inhibited beta-NA-dependent O-2 production; (ii) NADPH-oxidase contained in postnuclear fraction from beta-NA-incubated macrophages showed a greater activity than control fractions; (iii) the stimulation of O-2 production elicited by beta-NA was several-fold enhanced in activated macrophages compared to resident cells. These data suggest that beta-NA produces the activation of NADPH-oxidase through protein kinase C.

Abstract
The shape changes and membrane ruffling that accompany neutrophil activation are dependent on the assembly and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, the molecular basis of which remains to be clarified. A role of protein kinase C (PKC) has been postulated because neutrophil activation, with the attendant shape and membrane ruffling changes, can be initiated by phorbol esters, known activators of PKC. It has become apparent, however, that multiple isoforms of PKC with differing substrate specificities exist. To reassess the role of PKC in cytoskeletal reorganization, we compared the effects of diacylglycerol analogs and of PKC antagonists on kinase activity and on actin assembly in human neutrophils. Ruffling of the plasma membrane was assessed by scanning EM, and spatial redistribution of filamentous (F)-actin was assessed by scanning confocal microscopy. Staining with NBD-phallacidin and incorporation of actin into the Triton X-100-insoluble ("cytoskeletal") fraction were used to quantify the formation of (F)- actin. [32P]ATP was used to detect protein phosphorylation in electroporated cells. Exposure of neutrophils to 4 beta-PMA (an activator of PKC) induced protein phosphorylation, membrane ruffling, and assembly and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, whereas the 4a-isomer, which is inactive towards PKC, failed to produce any of these changes. Moreover, 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol, mezerein, and 3-(N- acetylamino)-5-(N-decyl-N-methylamino)-benzyl alcohol, which are nonphorbol activators of PKC, also promoted actin assembly. Although these effects were consistent with a role of PKC, the following observations suggested that stimulation of conventional isoforms of the kinase were not directly responsible for actin assembly: (a) Okadaic acid, an inhibitor of phosphatases 1 and 2A, potentiated PMA-induced protein phosphorylation, but not actin assembly; and (b) PMA-induced actin assembly and membrane ruffling were not prevented by the conventional PKC inhibitors 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2- methylpiperazine, staurosporine, calphostin C, or sphingosine at concentrations that precluded PMA-induced protein phosphorylation and superoxide production. On the other hand, PMA-induced actin assembly was inhibited by long-chain fatty acid coenzyme A esters, known inhibitors of nuclear PKC (nPKC). We conclude that PMA-induced actin assembly is unlikely to be mediated by the conventional isoforms of PKC, but may be mediated by novel isoforms of the kinase such as nPKC.

Abstract
We determined the effects of okadaic acid (OA), a specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A), on protein phosphorylation and on the activation of the NADPH oxidase in human neutrophils. In otherwise unstimulated cells, OA induced phosphoprotein accumulation, revealing the presence of constitutively active protein kinases. Pulse-chase experiments in electropermeabilized cells confirmed that this effect was due, at least in part, to inhibition of dephosphorylation. OA potentiated phosphoprotein accumulation induced by phorbol esters and by the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). In phorbol ester-stimulated cells, OA prolonged the respiratory response after inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) with staurosporine, consistent with a reduced rate of dephosphorylation of active phosphorylated components. Similarly, OA delayed the inactivation of the burst after displacement of FMLP from its receptor by a competitive antagonist. This suggests that the substrates of the protein kinases activated by FMLP are dephosphorylated by PP1 and/or PP2A. That phosphatases control the intensity and duration of the respiratory response is suggested by the finding that OA magnified and prolonged the oxidative burst elicited by FMLP. In contrast, pretreatment with OA produced a time-dependent inhibition of the phorbol ester-induced respiratory burst. Under conditions where inhibition of the phorbol ester response was nearly complete, activation by the chemoattractant peptide not only persisted but was in fact accentuated. These findings provide strong evidence that receptor-mediated stimulation of the NADPH oxidase can occur by pathways not involving PKC.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is central to multiple regulatory processes in cells. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a cytokine synthesized by macrophages, effects polymorphonuclear leukocyte (neutrophil) chemotaxis, induces superoxide anion generation, and mediates neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells. Although protein phosphorylation is almost certainly involved in many TNF-mediated neutrophil functions, little is known about TNF's impact on neutrophil protein phosphorylation. Therefore, we studied human recombinant TNF-alpha-induced protein phosphorylation in human neutrophils. Neutrophils were preincubated with 32PO(4)2- and treated with a variety of stimulatory agents. One- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to analyze phosphorylated proteins. Phosphoaminoacids were identified by two-dimensional thin layer chromatography electrophoresis. The findings were as follows: (1) TNF induces the phosphorylation of two 16-kD proteins (pI = 5.9 and 6.1) by 5- to 6-fold, and a 57-kD protein (pI = 5.8) by 3- to 4-fold compared with untreated neutrophils; (2) these proteins are phosphorylated as early as 15 min after stimulation with TNF, and phosphorylation is induced by concentrations of TNF as low as 1 ng/ml (10 U/ml); (3) TNF induces the phosphorylation of proteins at either serine or threonine residues and not at tyrosine; (4) TNF-stimulated neutrophils show a unique pattern of protein phosphorylation when compared to neutrophils treated with formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine; (5) lipopolysaccharide does not induce protein phosphorylation in neutrophils; (6) a 16-kD protein is phosphorylated in response to TNF in neutrophils but not in mononuclear cells; and (7) protein kinase inhibitors appear to have no effect on TNF-induced protein phosphorylation. Thus, the mechanism of action of TNF on neutrophils may involve protein phosphorylation.

Abstract
Essentially pure preparations of normal density eosinophils obtained from patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) were stimulated with complement factor 5a (C5a), platelet-activating factor (PAF), FMLP and neutrophil-activating peptide (NAP-1/IL-8). Three responses were studied, the transient rise in cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) (derived from indo-1 fluorescence), shape changes (measured by laser turbidimetry), and exocytosis of eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) (assessed by H2O2/luminol-dependent chemiluminescence). Responses were obtained with all four agonists, but C5a and PAF were by far more potent than FMLP and NAP-1/IL-8, which induced only minor effects. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin attenuated [Ca2+]i changes, EPO release and, to a lesser extent, shape changes, indicating that GTP-binding proteins of Gi-type are involved in receptor-dependent signal transduction processes leading to these responses. A clear dissociation was observed in the control of the shape change response and EPO exocytosis. The shape change was not affected by Ca2+ depletion or treatment with the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine, but exocytosis was prevented by Ca2+ depletion and markedly enhanced by staurosporine. The activation of the contractile system, leading to shape changes and motility, thus appears to be independent of the classical signal transduction pathway involving phospholipase C, a [Ca2+]i rise and protein kinase C activation. Exocytosis is, as expected, Ca2+ dependent and appears to be under a negative control involving protein phosphorylations.

Abstract
The characteristics of the activation of a histone H4 kinase activity in Triton X-100 lysates of rabbit peritoneal neutrophils pretreated with fMet-Leu-Phe were studied: The activation of the kinase was a) inhibited by the antagonist of formylpeptide, t-Boc-(Phe-Leu)2(-)-Phe, b) completely inhibited by pertussis toxin pretreatment, c) not affected by the pretreatment of neutrophils with an activator of protein kinase C, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, or an inhibitor of protein kinase C, 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl)-2-methyl-piperazine, and d) not inhibited in the cells preloaded with the intracellular calcium chelators, bis-(o-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetra acetic acid acetoxymethyl-ester (BAPTA/AM). These results suggest that the stimulus-induced activation of H4 kinase requires functional receptor and GTP-binding protein but neither calcium mobilization nor protein kinase C activation.

Abstract
Neutrophils exhibit an intense phosphorylation of a 47 kDa protein and release large quantities of superoxide (O2-) upon stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP). Antagonists of protein kinases (e.g., 200 microM 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7); 15 nM staurosporine) inhibited these phenomena when the stimulus was PMA (Badwey, J.A. et al. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 14947-14953). In this paper, we now report that while neutrophils treated with 15 nM staurosporine and PMA release little O2-, cells in the presence of these compounds can be stimulated to release near normal quantities of O2- by the subsequent addition of fMLP. Surprisingly, staurosporine (15 nM) reduced the incorporation of 32P into the 47 kDa protein in fMLP stimulated cells at least as effectively as H-7, yet, while the staurosporine treated cells released substantial amounts of O2-, the cells treated with H-7 did not. These data suggest that a stimulatory pathway exists in neutrophils that contains a protein kinase 'distinct' from that which is activated when PMA is the stimulus and that this pathway may enable the O2- producing system to become functional with little or no phosphorylation of the 47 kDa protein. They further suggest that the steps which are sensitive to H-7 in the signal-transduction pathways utilized by PMA and fMLP may be different.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphorylation in rabbit peritoneal neutrophils was examined by immunoblotting with antibodies specific for phosphotyrosine. Stimulation of the neutrophils with chemotactic factor fMet-Leu-Phe (10 nM) caused rapid increases of tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins with apparent molecular masses of (Group A) 54-58 kDa and 100-125 kDa and (Group B) 36-41 kDa. Stimulation of Group A proteins was observed by fMet-Leu-Phe (10 nM, maximum at 20 s) and A23187 (1 microM, 1 min). Stimulation of Group B proteins was observed by fMet-Leu-Phe (ED50 0.15 nM, 1 min), leukotriene B4 (ED50 0.15 nM, 1 min), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (ED50 25 ng/ml, 10 min) and partially by ionophore A23187 (1 microM, 1 min). Pretreatment of the cell with the protein kinase inhibitor H-7 (25 microM, 5 min) and PMA (0.1 microgram/ml, 3 min) partially inhibited the fMet-Leu-Phe effect. However, pretreatment of the cells with quin 2/AM (20 microM, 10 min) completely inhibited the fMet-Leu-Phe effect. The results indicate that rapid regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation is an early event occurring in stimulated neutrophils. Furthermore the effect of fMet-Leu-Phe on tyrosine phosphorylation may require Ca2+ mobilization and may partially require the activity of H-7-sensitive protein kinases.

Abstract
The protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine influenced in different ways the functions of human neutrophils. Staurosporine prevented the enhanced protein phosphorylation in phorbol ester- and N-formylmethyionyl-leucylphenylalanine (fMLP)-stimulated cells, and was a powerful inhibitor of the respiratory burst induced by phorbol myristate acetate [IC50 (concentration causing 50% inhibition) 17 nM] and the chemotactic peptides fMLP and C5a (IC50 24 nM). It did not alter, however, the superoxide production by cell-free preparations of NADPH oxidase. Staurosporine had no effect on agonist-dependent changes in cytosolic free Ca2+ and exocytosis of specific and azurophil granules, and showed only a slight inhibition of the release of vitamin B12-binding protein induced by phorbol myristate acetate (decreased by 40% at 200 nM). On the other hand, staurosporine also exhibited neutrophil-activating properties: it induced the release of gelatinase (from secretory vesicles) and vitamin-B12-binding protein (from specific granules). These effects were protracted, concentration-dependent, insensitive to Ca2+ depletion, and strongly enhanced by cytochalasin B. Staurosporine, however, did not induce the release of beta-glucuronidase or elastase (from azurophil granules). Except for the sensitivity to cytochalasin B, these properties suggest a similarity between the exocytosis-inducing actions of staurosporine and PMA. The results obtained with staurosporine provide further evidence that different signal-transduction processes are involved in neutrophil activation, and suggest that protein phosphorylation is required for the induction of the respiratory burst, but not for exocytosis.

Abstract
Increased susceptibility of neonates to infection may be related to defects in newborn neutrophil (PMN) functional activities, including altered responses to complement fragments (Cf) and defective microbicidal activity. We therefore compared the kinetics of newborn and adult bovine PMN membrane shape change responses following stimulation with zymosan-activated plasma (ZAP) as a source of Cf. Measurement of PMN membrane shape change was a rapid, sensitive, and reproducible measure of Cf stimulation within a population of PMNs; a maximum of 67-85% of the PMNs exhibited easily detectable membrane ruffling, lamellipodia formation, and polarity within 2 min. Newborn PMNs exhibited significantly increased (P less than 0.01) membrane shape change at 20, 30, 60, 120, and 300 sec after Cf stimulation. A maximum of 85.8 +/- 3.2% of newborn PMNs exhibited such Cf-induced shape changes by 120 sec. which was significantly greater (P less than 0.01) than the maximum stimulation (67.7 +/- 4.3%) attained with adult PMNs. These data indicate enhanced kinetics of induced newborn PMN membrane shape change in response to Cf stimulation. We also compared stimulus-specific superoxide anion (O2-) generation as a measure of respiratory burst activity after incubation of newborn and adult PMNs with soluble (phorbol myristate acetate, PMA) and particulate (opsonized zymosan, OZ) stimuli. When PMA was used as the stimulus, newborn PMNs generated significantly less O2- (9.3 +/- 0.5 nmol O2-/10(6) PMN, P less than 0.05) than did adult PMNs (12.4 +/- 0.3 nmol O2-/10(6) PMN). This finding was reversed when OZ was used as the stimulus; newborn PMNs generated significantly more O2- (7.7 +/- 0.4 nmol O2-/10(6) PMN, P less than 0.05) than did adult PMNs (5.5 +/- 0.5 nmol O2-/10(6) PMN). These findings collectively document biochemical and morphological differences between newborn and adult PMNs as determined by stimulus-specific O2- generation and Cf-induced membrane shape change. Such differences may be important to neonatal disease susceptibility.

Abstract
Peritoneal resident macrophages from mice are sensitive to inhibition by cyclosporin A (CsA) of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-stimulated oxidative burst. Inhibition was assessed in terms of superoxide anion (O2.-) and H2O2 production. Key findings were as follows. (a) CsA inhibited in a dose-dependent manner the production of O2.- when cells were stimulated with PMA. CsA did not alter the respiratory burst induced by other stimuli (zymosan, concanavalin A and fMet-Leu-Phe). It was verified that CsA itself had no scavenger effect. (b) A concomitant decrease in H2O2 liberation following CsA exposure was found. This inhibition was observed both in the initial rate of synthesis and in the accumulation after 15 min of incubation. (c) NADPH oxidase activity in the crude supernatant was unaffected by the previous incubation of macrophages with CsA. CsA does not inhibit glucose transport measured as 14CO2 production. (d) The production of O2.- was strongly dependent on the glucose concentration. Sodium oleate also stimulated O2.- production in resident macrophages. These data might be correlated with the inhibitory effect of CsA upon other functions of macrophages.

Abstract
In chemotactic factor-stimulated neutrophils, rapid increases of intracellular levels of cyclic AMP, calcium, and diacylglycerol have been observed and may be linked to protein kinase activation. The study of the physiological role and regulation of protein kinases in the neutrophil and the identification of their substrates has provided valuable information on the molecular mechanism of neutrophil activation. The focus of this review is on those aspects of protein kinases that are relevant to neutrophil activation and on the substrate proteins for these protein kinases. The possible role of protein phosphorylation in neutrophil function is also discussed.

Abstract
Contrary to previous reports by other investigators, protein kinase inhibitors C-I and H-7 (at 10(-6)M) caused a significant inhibition of fmet-leu-phe-stimulated superoxide (O2-) generation in human neutrophils. The observed inhibition of O2- production was a highly temperature-sensitive event and occurred only when C-I or H-7 was added to neutrophils at 37 degrees C. When the temperature at which C-I or H-7 added to neutrophils was varied between 16 degrees C to 37 degrees C, no significant inhibition of fmet-leu-phe-stimulated O2- production by C-I or H-7 was observed even at 35 degrees C. However, when added at 37 degrees C, both the maximal rate and the final extent of fmet-leu-phe induced O2- production were significantly inhibited (greater than 50%) by 10(-6)M C-I or H-7. A relatively weaker protein kinase C antagonist, HA1004, was not inhibitory under identical experimental conditions. In contrast, inhibition of the PMA-induced O2- generation by C-I or H-7 was not found to be similarly temperature-dependent. These results indicate that some temperature-dependent cellular event(s) is critically involved in the observed inhibition of fmet-leu-phe-induced O2- generation by C-I or H-7, and suggest a role for protein kinase C in the signal transduction process.

Abstract
Activated botulinum D toxin ADP-ribosylates a 22 kDa molecular weight protein in homogenates obtained by sonication of a suspension of rabbit peritoneal neutrophils. The ADP-ribosylation catalyzed by activated botulinum D toxin is inhibited in homogenates obtained from cells pretreated with the toxin, suggesting that it is able to enter into these cells and be activated by them. The rise in intracellular concentration of free calcium in toxin treated cells stimulated by fMet-Leu-Phe is similar to that found in control cells. The basal concentration of intracellular free calcium is significantly elevated in neutrophils treated with the intact but not with the activated form of the botulinum D toxin. Superoxide generation in control and native toxin treated cells stimulated with fMet-leu-Phe, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or opsonized zymosan is the same. The release of beta-glucosaminidase produced by fMet-Leu-Phe or Concanavalin A in botulinum D toxin treated neutrophils was slightly higher than the corresponding release in control cells. Furthermore, the fMet-Leu-Phe-induced increase in the amount of actin associated with the cytoskeleton is not inhibited by botulinum D toxin. These results suggest that the 22 kDa protein which can be ADP-ribosylated by botulinum D toxin is not involved in these stimulated neutrophil responses.
