Complement C5a Alters the Membrane Potential of Neutrophils during Hemorrhagic Shock. Mediators Inflamm 2018; 2018:2052356. [PMID: 30002598 PMCID: PMC5996468 DOI: 10.1155/2018/2052356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2017] [Revised: 02/26/2018] [Accepted: 04/01/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) play a crucial role in host defense. Physiologically, exposure of PMN to the complement activation product C5a results in a protective response against pathogens, whereas in the case of systemic inflammation, excessive C5a substantially impairs neutrophil functions. To further elucidate the inability of PMN to properly respond to C5a, this study investigates the role of the cellular membrane potential of PMN in response to C5a. Methods Electrophysiological changes in cellular and mitochondrial membrane potential and intracellular pH of PMN from human healthy volunteers were determined by flow cytometry after exposure to C5a. Furthermore, PMN from male Bretoncelles-Meishan-Willebrand cross-bred pigs before and three hours after severe hemorrhagic shock were analyzed for their electrophysiological response. Results PMN showed a significant dose- and time-dependent depolarization in response to C5a with a strong response after one minute. The chemotactic peptide fMLP also evoked a significant shift in the membrane potential of PMN. Acidification of the cellular microenvironment significantly enhanced depolarization of PMN. In a clinically relevant model of porcine hemorrhagic shock, the C5a-induced changes in membrane potential of PMN were markedly diminished compared to healthy littermates. Overall, these membrane potential changes may contribute to PMN dysfunction in an inflammatory environment.

Abstract
The voltage-gated proton channel (HV1) is a widely distributed, proton-specific ion channel with unique properties. Since 2006, when genes for HV1 were identified, a vast array of mutations have been generated and characterized. Accessing this potentially useful resource is hindered, however, by the sheer number of mutations and interspecies differences in amino acid numbering. This review organizes all existing information in a logical manner to allow swift identification of studies that have characterized any particular mutation. Although much can be gained from this meta-analysis, important questions about the inner workings of HV1 await future revelation.

Abstract
One of the most fascinating and exciting periods in my scientific career entailed dissecting the symbiotic relationship between two membrane transporters, the Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate reduced form (NADPH) oxidase complex and voltage-gated proton channels (HV 1). By the time I entered this field, there had already been substantial progress toward understanding NADPH oxidase, but HV 1 were known only to a tiny handful of cognoscenti around the world. Having identified the first proton currents in mammalian cells in 1991, I needed to find a clear function for these molecules if the work was to become fundable. The then-recent discoveries of Henderson, Chappell, and colleagues in 1987-1988 that led them to hypothesize interactions of both molecules during the respiratory burst of phagocytes provided an excellent opportunity. In a nutshell, both transporters function by moving electrical charge across the membrane: NADPH oxidase moves electrons and HV 1 moves protons. The consequences of electrogenic NADPH oxidase activity on both membrane potential and pH strongly self-limit this enzyme. Fortunately, both consequences specifically activate HV 1, and HV 1 activity counteracts both consequences, a kind of yin-yang relationship. Notwithstanding a decade starting in 1995 when many believed the opposite, these are two separate molecules that function independently despite their being functionally interdependent in phagocytes. The relationship between NADPH oxidase and HV 1 has become a paradigm that somewhat surprisingly has now extended well beyond the phagocyte NADPH oxidase - an industrial strength producer of reactive oxygen species (ROS) - to myriad other cells that produce orders of magnitude less ROS for signaling purposes. These cells with their seven NADPH oxidase (NOX) isoforms provide a vast realm of mechanistic obscurity that will occupy future studies for years to come.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Arachidonic acid (AA) greatly enhances the activity of the voltage-gated proton (Hv) channel, although its mechanism of action and physiological function remain unclear. In the present study, we analysed the effects of AA on proton currents through Hv channels heterologously expressed in HEK293T cells. The dramatic increase in proton current amplitude elicited by AA was accompanied by accelerated activation kinetics and a leftward shift in the voltage-dependence of activation. Mutagenesis studies suggest the two aforementioned effects of AA reflect two distinct structural mechanisms. Application of phospholipase A2 , which liberates AA from phospholipids in the membrane, also enhances Hv channel activity, supporting the idea that AA modulates Hv channel activity within physiological contexts. Unsaturated fatty acids are key components of the biological membranes of all cells, and precursors of mediators for cell signalling. Arachidonic acid (AA) is an unsaturated fatty acid known to modulate the activities of various ion channels, including the voltage-gated proton (Hv) channel, which supports the rapid production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in phagocytes through regulation of pH and membrane potential. However, the molecular mechanisms and physiological functions of the effects of AA on Hv channels remain unclear. In the present study, we report an electrophysiological analysis of the effects of AA on the mouse Hv channel (mHv1) heterologously expressed in HEK293T cells. Application of AA to excised inside-out patch membranes rapidly induced a robust increase in the amplitude of the proton current through mHv1. The current increase was accompanied by accelerated activation kinetics and a small leftward shift of the current-voltage relationship. In monomeric channels lacking the coiled-coil region of the channel protein, the shift in the current-voltage relationship was diminished but activation and deactivation remained accelerated. Studies with several AA derivatives showed that double bonds and hydrophilic head groups are essential for the effect of AA, although charge was not important. The application of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), which generates AA from cell membrane phospholipids, stimulated mHv1 activity to a similar extent as direct application of ∼ 20 μM AA, suggesting that endogenous AA may regulate Hv channel activity.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Voltage-gated proton channels are increasingly implicated in cellular proton homeostasis. Proton currents were originally identified in snail neurons less than 40 years ago, and subsequently shown to play an important auxiliary role in the functioning of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases. Molecular identification of voltage-gated proton channels was achieved less than 10 years ago. Interestingly, so far, only one gene coding for voltage-gated proton channels has been identified, namely hydrogen voltage-gated channel 1 (HVCN1), which codes for the HV1 proton channel protein. Over the last years, the first picture of putative physiological functions of HV1 has been emerging. RECENT ADVANCES The best-studied role remains charge and pH compensation during the respiratory burst of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase (NOX). Strong evidence for a role of HV1 is also emerging in sperm biology, but the relationship with the sperm NOX5 remains unclear. Probably in many instances, HV1 functions independently of NOX: for example in snail neurons, basophils, osteoclasts, and cancer cells. CRITICAL ISSUES Generally, ion channels are good drug targets; however, this feature has so far not been exploited for HV1, and hitherto no inhibitors compatible with clinical use exist. However, there are emerging indications for HV1 inhibitors, ranging from diseases with a strong activation of the phagocyte NOX (e.g., stroke) to infertility, osteoporosis, and cancer. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Clinically useful HV1-active drugs should be developed and might become interesting drugs of the future.

Abstract
Voltage-gated proton channels, HV1, have vaulted from the realm of the esoteric into the forefront of a central question facing ion channel biophysicists, namely, the mechanism by which voltage-dependent gating occurs. This transformation is the result of several factors. Identification of the gene in 2006 revealed that proton channels are homologues of the voltage-sensing domain of most other voltage-gated ion channels. Unique, or at least eccentric, properties of proton channels include dimeric architecture with dual conduction pathways, perfect proton selectivity, a single-channel conductance approximately 10(3) times smaller than most ion channels, voltage-dependent gating that is strongly modulated by the pH gradient, ΔpH, and potent inhibition by Zn(2+) (in many species) but an absence of other potent inhibitors. The recent identification of HV1 in three unicellular marine plankton species has dramatically expanded the phylogenetic family tree. Interest in proton channels in their own right has increased as important physiological roles have been identified in many cells. Proton channels trigger the bioluminescent flash of dinoflagellates, facilitate calcification by coccolithophores, regulate pH-dependent processes in eggs and sperm during fertilization, secrete acid to control the pH of airway fluids, facilitate histamine secretion by basophils, and play a signaling role in facilitating B-cell receptor mediated responses in B-lymphocytes. The most elaborate and best-established functions occur in phagocytes, where proton channels optimize the activity of NADPH oxidase, an important producer of reactive oxygen species. Proton efflux mediated by HV1 balances the charge translocated across the membrane by electrons through NADPH oxidase, minimizes changes in cytoplasmic and phagosomal pH, limits osmotic swelling of the phagosome, and provides substrate H(+) for the production of H2O2 and HOCl, reactive oxygen species crucial to killing pathogens.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid with four double bonds, has multiple actions on living cells. Many of these effects are mediated by an action of AA or its metabolites on ion channels. During the last 10 years, new types of ion channels, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) channels and non-SOCE channels have been studied. This review summarizes our current knowledge about the effects of AA on TRP and non-SOCE channels as well as classical ion channels. It aims to distinguish between effects of AA itself and effects of AA metabolites. Lipid mediators are of clinical interest because some of them (for example, leukotrienes) play a role in various diseases, others (such as prostaglandins) are targets for pharmacological therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
We examined the potential contribution of a voltage-gated proton conductance (gH+) to acid extrusion from cultured postnatal rat hippocampal neurons. In neurons loaded with Ca2+- and/or pH-sensitive fluorophores, transient exposures to 25-139.5 mM external K+ (K+o) or 20 microM veratridine in the presence of 2 mM Ca2+o (extracellular pH (pHo) constant at 7.35) caused reversible increases and decreases in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and intracellular pH (pHi), respectively. In contrast, under external Ca2+-free conditions, the same stimuli failed to affect [Ca2+]i but caused an increase in pHi, the magnitude of which was related to the [K+]o applied and the change in membrane potential. Consistent with the properties of gH+s in other cell types, the magnitude of the rise in pHi observed in the absence of external Ca2+ was not affected by the removal of external Na+ but was sensitive to external Zn2+ and temperature and was dependent on the measured transmembrane pH gradient (DeltapHmemb). Increasing DeltapH(memb) by pretreatment with carbonylcyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone augmented both the high-[K+]o-evoked rise in pHi and the Zn2+-sensitive component of the rise in pHi, suggestive of increased acid extrusion via a gH+. The inhibitory effect of Zn2+ at a given DeltapHmemb was further enhanced by increasing pHo from 7.35-7.8, consistent with a pHo-dependent inhibition of the putative gH+ by Zn2+. Under conditions designed to isolate H+ currents, a voltage-dependent outward current was recorded from whole-cell patch-clamped neurons. Although the outward current appeared to show some selectivity for protons, it was not sensitive to Zn2+ or temperature and the H+-selective component could not be separated from a larger conductance of unknown selectivity. Nonetheless, taken together, the results suggest that a Zn2+-sensitive proton conductive pathway is present in rat hippocampal neurons and contributes to H+ efflux under depolarizing conditions.

Abstract
The prevailing hypothesis that a signalling pathway involving cPLA(2)alpha is required to enhance the gating of the voltage-gated proton channel associated with NADPH oxidase was tested in human eosinophils and murine granulocytes. This hypothesis invokes arachidonic acid (AA) liberated by cPLA(2)alpha as a final activator of proton channels. In human eosinophils studied in the perforated-patch configuration, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) stimulation elicited NADPH oxidase-generated electron current (I(e)) and enhanced proton channel gating identically in the presence or absence of three specific cPLA(2)alpha inhibitors, Wyeth-1, pyrrolidine-2 and AACOCF(3) (arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone). In contrast, PKC inhibitors GFX (GF109203X) or staurosporine prevented the activation of either proton channels or NADPH oxidase. PKC inhibition during the respiratory burst reversed the activation of both molecules, suggesting that ongoing phosphorylation is required. This effect of GFX was inhibited by okadaic acid, implicating phosphatases in proton channel deactivation. Proton channel activation by AA was partially reversed by GFX or staurosporine, indicating that AA effects are due in part to activation of PKC. In granulocytes from mice with the cPLA(2)alpha gene disrupted (knockout mice), PMA or fMetLeuPhe activated NADPH oxidase and proton channels in a manner indistinguishable from the responses of control cells. Thus, cPLA(2)alpha is not essential to activate the proton conductance or for a normal respiratory burst. Instead, phosphorylation of the proton channel or an activating molecule converts the channel to its activated gating mode. The existing paradigm for regulation of the concerted activity of proton channels and NADPH oxidase must be revised.

Abstract
Phospholipase A2(s) (PLA2(s)) are a family of enzymes that is present in a variety of mammalian and nonmammalian sources. Phagocytic cells contain cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) as well as several types of secreted PLA2, all of which have the potential to produce proinflammatory lipid mediators. The role of the predominant form of cPLA2 present in neutrophils is cPLA2alpha was studied by many groups. By modulating its expression in a variety of phagocytes it was found that it plays a major role in formation of eicosanoids. In addition, it was reported that cPLA2alpha also regulates the NADPH oxidase activation. The specificity of its effect on the NADPH oxidase is evident by results demonstrating that the differentiation process as well as other phagocytic functions are normal in cPLA2alpha-deficient PLB cell model. The novel dual subcellular localization of cPLA2alpha in different compartments, in the plasma membranes and in the nucleus, provides a molecular mechanism for the participation of cPLA2alpha in different processes (stimulation of NADPH oxidase and formation of eicosanoids) in the same cells.

Abstract
1. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is known to stimulate a variety of neutrophil activities, including chemotaxis, phagocytosis, degranulation, reactive oxygen species production and intracellular pH increase. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of PAF on pH((i)), specifically if these changes in pH are the result of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway activation in bovine neutrophils. 2. PAF caused intracellular alkalinization in 2',7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein acetoxymethyl ester-loaded bovine neutrophils. This phenomenon seems to be mediated by amiloride-sensitive Na(+)/H(+) exchange, and is inhibited by WEB2086 (a selective PAF receptor antagonist), genistein (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor), wortmannin and LY294002 (PI3K inhibitors), and PD98059 and UO126 (MEK inhibitors). 3. PAF 100 nm induced an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins 62, 44 and 21 kDa with a maximum response at 2 min of incubation. 4. Unlike human neutrophils, bovine neutrophils are strongly stimulated by PAF via phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (extracellular-signal-regulated protein kinase) with an EC(50) of 30 and 13 nm, respectively. 5. PAF MAPK activation was also inhibited by WEB2086, pertussis toxin (PTX), genistein, wortmannin, LY294002, PD98059 and UO126 in bovine neutrophils. The ERK1/2 activation is dependent on PI3K pathway, because protein kinase B was phosphorylated by PAF and inhibited by wortmannin and LY294002, but not by U0126. 6. Our results suggest that PAF induces intracellular alkalinization via PI3K-MAPK activation. This effect is upstream regulated by PAF receptor, PTX-sensitive G protein, tyrosine kinase, PI3K and MEK1/2 in bovine neutrophils.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA) regulates the function of many cell types, including neutrophils. Although much emphasis has been placed on agonist-induced down-regulation of TNFR, our data show that AA caused a rapid (10-20 min) and dose-dependent (0.5-30 micro M) increase in the surface expression of both classes of TNFR (TNFR1 and TNFR2) on human neutrophils. This increased TNFR expression correlated with an increase in TNF-induced superoxide production. In contrast, the omega3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, and linolenic acid failed to stimulate TNFR expression. Although fMLP and LPS reduced the neutrophil expression of TNFR, when pretreated with AA, fMLP caused an increase in TNFR expression. Consistent with this result was the finding that AA prevented the fMLP-induced receptor release in neutrophil cultures. AA also caused an increase in TNFR expression in matured HL-60 cells (neutrophil-like cells), but a decrease in nonmatured cells and HUVEC. The AA effects were independent of the lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways, but dependent on protein kinase C, the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2, and cytosolic phospholipase A(2). The data demonstrate a unique effect of AA in the inflammatory reaction, through its action on neutrophil TNFR expression, and suggest that AA may regulate the response of neutrophils to TNF by altering its receptor number.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) activation in human eosinophils increases NADPH oxidase activity, which is associated with plasma membrane depolarization. In this study, membrane potential measurements of eosinophils stimulated with phorbol ester (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate; PMA) were made using a cell-permeable oxonol membrane potential indicator, diBAC4(3). Within 10 minutes after PMA stimulation, eosinophils depolarized from -32.9+/-5.7 mV to +17.3+/-1.8 mV. The time courses of depolarization and proton channel activation were virtually identical. Blocking the proton conductance with 250 microM ZnCl2 (+43.0+/-4.2 mV) or increasing the proton channel activation threshold by reducing the extracellular pH to 6.5 (+44.4+/-1.4 mV) increased depolarization compared with PMA alone. Additionally, the protein kinase C (PKC) delta-selective blocker, rottlerin, inhibited PMA-stimulated depolarization, indicating that PKCdelta was involved in regulating depolarization associated with eosinophil NADPH oxidase activity. Thus, the membrane depolarization that is associated with NADPH oxidase activation in eosinophils is sufficient to produce marked proton channel activation under physiological conditions.

Abstract
Proton channels exist in a wide variety of membrane proteins where they transport protons rapidly and efficiently. Usually the proton pathway is formed mainly by water molecules present in the protein, but its function is regulated by titratable groups on critical amino acid residues in the pathway. All proton channels conduct protons by a hydrogen-bonded chain mechanism in which the proton hops from one water or titratable group to the next. Voltage-gated proton channels represent a specific subset of proton channels that have voltage- and time-dependent gating like other ion channels. However, they differ from most ion channels in their extraordinarily high selectivity, tiny conductance, strong temperature and deuterium isotope effects on conductance and gating kinetics, and insensitivity to block by steric occlusion. Gating of H(+) channels is regulated tightly by pH and voltage, ensuring that they open only when the electrochemical gradient is outward. Thus they function to extrude acid from cells. H(+) channels are expressed in many cells. During the respiratory burst in phagocytes, H(+) current compensates for electron extrusion by NADPH oxidase. Most evidence indicates that the H(+) channel is not part of the NADPH oxidase complex, but rather is a distinct and as yet unidentified molecule.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and ion transport by using extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 as a downstream signal. Furthermore, the EGF-receptor (EGF-R) is involved in signaling by G protein-coupled receptors, growth hormone, and cytokines by means of transactivation. It has been suggested that steroids interact with peptide hormones, in part, by rapid, potentially nongenomic, mechanisms. Previously, we have shown that aldosterone modulates Na(+)/H(+) exchange in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells by means of ERK1/2 in a way similar to growth factors. Here, we tested the hypothesis that aldosterone uses the EGF-R as a heterologous signal transducer in MDCK cells. Nanomolar concentrations of aldosterone induce a rapid increase in ERK1/2 phosphorylation, cellular Ca(2+) concentration, and Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity similar to increases induced by EGF. Furthermore, aldosterone induced a rapid increase in EGF-R-Tyr phosphorylation, and inhibition of EGF-R kinase abolished aldosterone-induced signaling. Inhibition of ERK1/2 phosphorylation reduced the Ca(2+) response, whereas prevention of Ca(2+) influx did not abolish ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Our data show that aldosterone uses the EGF-R-ERK1/2 signaling cascade to elicit its rapid effects in MDCK cells.

Abstract
Eosinophils play a primary role in the pathophysiology of asthma. In the lung, the activation state of the infiltrating eosinophils determines the extent of tissue damage. Interleukin-5 (IL-5) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) are important signaling molecules involved in eosinophil recruitment and activation. However, the physiological processes that regulate these activation events are largely unknown. In this study we have examined the mechanisms of human eosinophil NADPH oxidase regulation by IL-5, LTB4, and phorbol ester (PMA). These stimuli activate a Zn2+-sensitive plasma membrane proton channel, and treatment of eosinophils with Zn2+ blocks superoxide production. We have demonstrated that eosinophil intracellular pH is not altered by IL-5 activation of NADPH oxidase. Additionally, PKCdelta inhibitors block PMA, IL-5 and LTB4 mediated superoxide formation. Interestingly, the PKCdelta-selective inhibitor, rottlerin, does not block proton channel activation by PMA indicating that the oxidase and the proton conductance are regulated at distinct phosphorylation sites. IL-5 and LTB4, but not PMA, stimulated superoxide production is also blocked by inhibitors of PI 3-kinase indicating that activation of this enzyme is an upstream event common to both receptor signaling pathways. Our results indicate that the G-protein-coupled LTB4 receptor and the IL-5 cytokine receptor converge on a common signaling pathway involving PI 3-kinase and PKCdelta to regulate NADPH oxidase activity in human eosinophils.

Abstract
1. Effects of arachidonic acid (AA) on proton and electron currents in human eosinophils were studied using the permeabilized-patch voltage-clamp technique, using an applied NH4+ gradient to control pH(i). 2. Superoxide anion (O2-) release was assessed by cytochrome c reduction in human eosinophils. Significant O2- release was stimulated by 5-10 microM AA. 3. AA activated diphenylene iodinium (DPI)-inhibitable inward current reflecting electron efflux through NADPH oxidase. These electron currents (I(e)) were elicited in human eosinophils at AA concentrations (3-10 microM) similar to those that induced O2- release. 4. The voltage-gated proton conductance (g(H)) in eosinophils stimulated with AA was profoundly enhanced: H+ current amplitude (I(H)) increased 4.6 times, activation was 4 times faster, and the H+ conductance-voltage (g(H)-V) relationship was shifted to substantially more negative voltages. The electrophysiological effects of AA resembled those reported for PMA, except that AA did not consistently slow tau(tail) (deactivation of H+ currents). 5. The stimulation of both proton and electron currents by AA was reversible upon washout. Repeated exposure elicited repeated responses. The activation of H+ currents by AA was dissociable from its activation of NADPH oxidase; H+ currents were enhanced at low concentrations of AA that did not elicit detectable I(e) or when NADPH oxidase was inhibited by DPI. 6. Most of the effects of AA on H+ currents qualitatively resemble those reported in whole-cell studies, reflecting a more direct action than PMA. The results are compatible with AA being an immediate activator of both NADPH oxidase and proton channels in human eosinophils.

Abstract
Microglia, macrophages that reside in the brain, can express at least 12 different ion channels, including voltage-gated proton channels. The properties of H+ currents in microglia are similar to those in other phagocytes. Proton currents are elicited by depolarizing the membrane potential, but activation also depends strongly on both intracellular pH (pH(i)) and extracellular pH (pH(o)). Increasing pH(o) or lowering pH(i) promotes H+ channel opening by shifting the activation threshold to more negative potentials. H+ channels in microglia open only when the pH gradient is outward, so they carry only outward current in the steady state. Time-dependent activation of H+ currents is slow, with a time constant roughly 1 s at room temperature. Microglial H+ currents are inhibited by inorganic polyvalent cations, which reduce H+ current amplitude and shift the voltage dependence of activation to more positive potentials. Cytoskeletal disruptive agents modulate H+ currents in microglia. Cytochalasin D and colchicine decrease the current density and slow the activation of H+ currents. Similar changes of H+ currents, possibly due to cytoskeletal reorganization, occur in microglia during the transformation from ameboid to ramified morphology. Phagocytes, including microglia, undergo a respiratory burst, in which NADPH oxidase releases bactericidal superoxide anions into the phagosome and stoichiometrically releases protons into the cell, tending to depolarize and acidify the cell. H+ currents may help regulate both the membrane potential and pH(i) during the respiratory burst. By compensating for the efflux of electrons and counteracting intracellular acidification, H+ channels help maintain superoxide anion production.

Abstract
Vitronectin, which ligates the alpha(v)beta(3)-integrin, increases both lung capillary permeability and lung endothelial Ca(2+). In stable monolayers of bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAECs) viewed with confocal microscopy, multimeric vitronectin aggregated the apically located alpha(v)beta(3)-integrin. This caused arachidonate release that was inhibited by pretreating the monolayers with the anti-alpha(v)beta(3) monoclonal antibody (MAb) LM609. No inhibition occurred in the presence of the isotypic MAb PIF6, which recognizes the integrin alpha(v)beta(5). Vitronectin also caused membrane translocation and phosphorylation of cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 2. The cPLA(2) inhibitor arachidonyl trifluoromethylketone, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein, and the MAPK kinase inhibitor PD-98059 all blocked the induced arachidonate release. PD-98059 did not inhibit the increase of cytosolic Ca(2+) or cPLA(2) translocation, although it blocked tyrosine phosphorylation of ERK2. Moreover, although the intracellular Ca(2+) chelator MAPTAM also inhibited arachidonate release, it did not inhibit tyrosine phosphorylation of ERK2. These findings indicate that ligation of apical alpha(v)beta(3) in BPAECs caused ERK2 activation and an increase of intracellular Ca(2+), both conjointly required for cPLA(2) activation and arachidonate release. This is the first instance of a tyrosine phosphorylation-initiated "two-hit" signaling pathway that regulates an integrin-induced proinflammatory response.

Abstract
The NADPH oxidase producing-superoxide is the major mechanism by which phagocytes kill invading pathogens. The human myeloid cell line PLB-985 was transfected to express p85 cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) antisense mRNA and stable clones were selected which lack detectable cPLA2. cPLA2-deficient PLB-985 cells differentiate similarly to control PLB-985 cells in response to retinoic acid, DMSO or 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 indicating that cPLA2 is not involved in the differentiation process. Despite the normal synthesis of NADPH oxidase subunits during differentiation of cPLA2-deficient PLB-985 cells, these cells fail to activate NADPH oxidase in response to a variety of soluble and particulate stimuli, but addition of exogenous arachidonic acid (AA) fully restores oxidase activity. This establishes an essential requirement of cPLA2 generated AA for activation of phagocyte NADPH oxidase. In order to elucidate the mechanism by which cPLA2 regulates the oxidase, the role of cPLA2 in NADPH oxidase associated H+ channel was studied. Activation of differentiated PLB cells resulted in a Zn+2 sensitive alkalization, indicating H+ channel activity. In contrast, differentiated PLB-D cells failed to activate the H+ channel, but addition of exogenous AA fully restored this activity, indicating an essential and specific physiological requirement of cPLA2-generated AA for activation of the H+ channel. The presence of the H+ channel inhibitor, Zn+2, caused significant inhibition of NADPH oxidase activity, suggesting a role of the NADPH oxidase associated H+ channel in regulating oxidase activity.

Abstract
Hypertonicity suppresses neutrophil functions by unknown mechanisms. We investigated whether osmotically induced cytoskeletal changes might be related to the hypertonic inhibition of exocytosis. Hyperosmolarity abrogated the mobilization of all four granule types induced by diverse stimuli, suggesting that it blocks the process of exocytosis itself rather than individual signaling pathways. Concomitantly, osmotic stress provoked a twofold increase in F-actin, induced the formation of a submembranous F-actin ring, and abolished depolymerization that normally follows agonist-induced actin assembly. Several observations suggest a causal relationship between actin polymerization and inhibition of exocytosis: 1) prestimulus actin levels were inversely proportional to the stimulus-induced degranulation, 2) latrunculin B (LB) prevented the osmotic actin response and restored exocytosis, and 3) actin polymerization induced by jasplakinolide inhibited exocytosis under isotonic conditions. The shrinkage-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and the activation of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger were not affected by LB. Inhibition of osmosensitive kinases failed to prevent the F-actin change, suggesting that the osmotic tyrosine phosphorylation and actin polymerization are independent phenomena. Thus cytoskeletal remodeling appears to be a key component in the neutrophil-suppressive, anti-inflammatory effects of hypertonicity.

Abstract
Although alveolar epithelial cells were the first mammalian cells in which voltage-gated H(+) currents were recorded, no specific function has yet been proposed. Here we consider whether H(+) channels contribute to one of the main functions of the lung: CO(2) elimination. This idea builds on several observations: 1) some cell membranes have low CO(2) permeability, 2) carbonic anhydrase is present in alveolar epithelium and contributes to CO(2) extrusion by facilitating diffusion, 3) the transepithelial potential difference favors selective activation of H(+) channels in apical membranes, and 4) the properties of H(+) channels are ideally suited to the proposed role. H(+) channels open only when the electrochemical gradient for H(+) is outward, imparting directionality to the diffusion process. Unlike previous facilitated diffusion models, HCO(-)(3) and H(+) recombine to form CO(2) in the alveolar subphase. Rough quantitative considerations indicate that the proposed mechanism is plausible and indicate a significant capacity for CO(2) elimination by the lung by this route. Fully activated alveolar H(+) channels extrude acid equivalents at three times the resting rate of CO(2) production.

Abstract
The NADPH oxidase-producing superoxide is the major mechanism by which phagocytes kill invading pathogens. We previously established a model of cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2))-deficient differentiated PLB-985 cells (PLB-D cells) and demonstrated that cPLA(2)-generated arachidonic acid (AA) is essential for NADPH oxidase activation (Dana, R., Leto, T., Malech, H., and Levy, R. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 441-445). In the present study, we used this model to determine the physiological role of cPLA(2) in the regulation of both the H(+) channel and the Na(+)/H(+) antiporter and to study whether NADPH oxidase activation is regulated by either of these transporters. PLB-D cells and two controls: parent PLB-985 cells and PLB-985 cells transfected with the vector only (PLB cells) were differentiated using 1.25% Me(2)SO or 5 x 10(-8) M 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3). Activation of differentiated PLB cells resulted in a Zn(2+)-sensitive alkalization, indicating H(+) channel activity. In contrast, differentiated PLB-D cells failed to activate the H(+) channel, but the addition of exogenous AA fully restored this activity, indicating the role of cPLA(2) in H(+) channel activation. The presence of the H(+) channel inhibitor Zn(2+) caused significant inhibition of NADPH oxidase activity, suggesting a role of the H(+) channel in regulating oxidase activity. Na(+)/H(+) antiporter activity was stimulated in differentiated PLB-D cells, indicating that cPLA(2) does not participate in the regulation of this antiporter. These results establish an essential and specific physiological requirement of cPLA(2)-generated AA for activation of the H(+) channel and suggest the participation of this channel in the regulation of NADPH oxidase activity.

Abstract
Neutrophil-mediated organ damage is a common feature of many disease states. We previously demonstrated that resuscitation with hypertonic salt solutions prevented the endotoxin-induced leukosequestration and consequent lung injury, and this effect was partially attributed to an altered surface expression of adhesion molecules, CD11b and L-selectin. In this study we investigated the mechanisms whereby osmotic stress evokes L-selectin shedding. The metalloprotease inhibitor RO 31-9790 prevented the osmotic down-regulation of L-selectin, indicating that this process was catalyzed by the same "sheddase" responsible for L-selectin cleavage induced by diverse inflammatory stimuli. The trigger for hypertonic shedding was cell shrinkage and not increased osmolarity, ionic strength, or intracellular pH. Volume reduction caused robust tyrosine phosphorylation and its inhibition by genistein and erbstatin abrogated shedding. Shrinkage stimulated tyrosine kinases Hck, Syk, and Pyk2, but prevention of their activation by the Src-family inhibitor PP1 failed to affect the L-selectin response. Hypertonicity elicited the Src family-independent activation of p38, and the inhibition of this kinase by SB203580 strongly reduced shedding. p38 was also essential for the N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine- and lipopolysaccharide-induced shedding but not the phorbol ester-induced shedding. Thus, cell volume regulates L-selectin surface expression in a p38-mediated, metalloprotease-dependent manner. Moreover, p38 has a central role in shedding induced by many inflammatory mediators.

Abstract
Efficient mechanisms of H(+) ion extrusion are crucial for normal NADPH oxidase function. However, whether the NADPH oxidase-in analogy with mitochondrial cytochromes-has an inherent H(+) channel activity remains uncertain: electrophysiological studies did not find altered H(+) currents in cells from patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), challenging earlier reports in intact cells. In this study, we describe the presence of two different types of H(+) currents in human eosinophils. The "classical" H(+) current had properties similar to previously described H(+) conductances and was present in CGD cells. In contrast, the "novel" type of H(+) current had not been described previously and displayed unique properties: (a) it was absent in cells from gp91- or p47-deficient CGD patients; (b) it was only observed under experimental conditions that allowed NADPH oxidase activation; (c) because of its low threshold of voltage activation, it allowed proton influx and cytosolic acidification; (d) it activated faster and deactivated with slower and distinct kinetics than the classical H(+) currents; and (e) it was approximately 20-fold more sensitive to Zn(2+) and was blocked by the histidine-reactive agent, diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC). In summary, our results demonstrate that the NADPH oxidase or a closely associated protein provides a novel type of H(+) conductance during phagocyte activation. The unique properties of this conductance suggest that its physiological function is not restricted to H(+) extrusion and repolarization, but might include depolarization, pH-dependent signal termination, and determination of the phagosomal pH set point.

Abstract
The signaling pathways by which cell volume regulates ion transporters, e.g. Na+/H+ exchangers (NHEs), and affects cytoskeletal organization are poorly understood. We have previously shown that shrinkage induces tyrosine phosphorylation in CHO cells, predominantly in an 85-kDa band. To identify volume-sensitive kinases and their substrates, we investigated the effect of hypertonicity on members of the Src kinase family. Hyperosmolarity stimulated Fyn and inhibited Src. Fyn activation was also observed in nystatin-permeabilized cells, where shrinkage cannot induce intracellular alkalinization. In contrast, osmotic inhibition of Src was prevented by permeabilization or by inhibiting NHE-1. PP1, a selective Src family inhibitor, strongly reduced the hypertonicity-induced tyrosine phosphorylation. We identified one of the major targets of the osmotic stress-elicited phosphorylation as cortactin, an 85-kDa actin-binding protein and well known Src family substrate. Cortactin phosphorylation was triggered by shrinkage and not by changes in osmolarity or pHi and was abrogated by PP1. Hyperosmotic cortactin phosphorylation was reduced in Fyn-deficient fibroblasts but remained intact in Src-deficient fibroblasts. To address the potential role of the Src family in the osmotic regulation of NHEs, we used PP1. The drug affected neither the hyperosmotic stimulation of NHE-1 nor the inhibition of NHE-3. Thus, members of the Src family are volume-sensitive enzymes that may participate in the shrinkage-related reorganization of the cytoskeleton but are probably not responsible for the osmotic regulation of NHE.

Abstract
Microglia are immunocompetent cells in the brain that have many similarities with macrophages of peripheral tissues. In normal adult brain, microglial cells are in a resting state, but they become activated during inflammation of the central nervous system, after neuronal injury, and in several neurological diseases. Patch-clamp studies of microglial cells in cell culture and in tissue slices demonstrate that microglia express a wide variety of ion channels. Six different types of K+ channels have been identified in microglia, namely, inward rectifier, delayed rectifier, HERG-like, G protein-activated, as well as voltage-dependent and voltage-independent Ca2+-activated K+ channels. Moreover, microglia express H+ channels, Na+ channels, voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, Ca2+-release activated Ca2+ channels, and voltage-dependent and voltage-independent Cl- channels. With respect to their kinetic and pharmacological properties, most microglial ion channels closely resemble ion channels characterized in other macrophage preparations. Expression patterns of ion channels in microglia depend on the functional state of the cells. Microglial ion channels can be modulated by exposure to lipopolysaccharide or various cytokines, by activation of protein kinase C or G proteins, by factors released from astrocytes, by changes in the concentration of internal free Ca2+, and by variations of the internal or external pH. There is evidence suggesting that ion channels in microglia are involved in maintaining the membrane potential and are also involved in proliferation, ramification, and the respiratory burst. Further possible functional roles of microglial ion channels are discussed.
