To determine the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the activation of phospholipase D (PLD), electropermeabilized HL-60 cells labeled in [3H]alkyl-phosphatidylcholine were treated with vanadate derivatives. Micromolar concentrations of vanadyl hydroperoxide (V(4+)-OOH) induced accumulation of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. Concomitantly, V(4+)-OOH or a combination of vanadate and NADPH elicited a concentration- and time-dependent accumulation of phosphatidic acid (PtdOH). In the presence of ethanol a sustained formation of phosphatidylethanol was observed, indicating that a type D phospholipase was activated. A good correlation was found to exist between the accumulation of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins and activation of PLD. The V(4+)-OOH concentration dependence of the two responses was nearly identical, and the time course of activation was similar, with tyrosine phosphorylation preceding PLD activation by approximately 1 min. The ability of V(4+)-OOH to induce both responses was found to be strictly dependent on the presence of ATP and/or Mg2+, suggesting that PLD activation involves phosphotransferase reactions. Accordingly, ST638, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, reduced concomitantly tyrosine phosphorylation and PLD activation elicited by V(4+)-OOH. The mechanism of action of V(4+)-OOH was investigated. The diacylglycerol kinase inhibitors, dioctanoylethylene glycol and R59022 potentiated PLD stimulation by exogenous diacylglycerol but not by V(4+)-OOH. Moreover, stimulation by V(4+)-OOH and by phorbol esters was synergystic. Therefore, diacylglycerol-induced activation of protein kinase C is unlikely to mediate the effects of V(4+)-OOH. The response of PLD to V(4+)-OOH was larger than that to guanosine 5'-(gamma-thio)triphosphate. Moreover, the effects of GTP gamma S and V(4+)-OOH were additive. Hence, activation of G proteins cannot account for the stimulation of PLD by V(4+)-OOH. V(4+)-OOH also triggers a burst of O2 consumption by the NADPH oxidase. Inhibition of PtdOH accumulation by addition of ethanol or by ST638 abolished this respiratory burst. Together, the results establish a strong correlation between tyrosine phosphorylation, PLD activation, and stimulation of the NADPH oxidase in HL-60 cells, suggesting a causal relationship.

Fluoride elicited in liver macrophages a release of arachidonic acid and prostaglandins but not formation of inositol phosphates or superoxide. The effects of fluoride required extracellular calcium and were inhibited by staurosporine and by phorbol ester treatment of the cells. Furthermore, fluoride led to a translocation of protein kinase C from the cytosol to membranes. This indicates that the calcium-dependent protein kinase C is involved in the action of fluoride. Cholera toxin decreased the zymosan-induced release of arachidonic acid and prostaglandins but not of inositol phosphates or superoxide. Pertussis toxin ADP-ribosylated a 41,000 molecular weight membrane protein; enhanced specifically the zymosan-induced formation of prostaglandin(PG)E2 but did not affect the zymosan-induced release of arachidonic acid, PGD2, inositol phosphates or superoxide. These data suggest that activation of phospholipase (PL)A2, phosphoinositide (PI)-specific PLC and NADPH oxidase in liver macrophages is most probably not mediated by activation of guanine nucleotide binding (G)-proteins coupled directly to these enzymes.

The phosphorylation-dependent mechanisms regulating activation of the human neutrophil respiratory-burst enzyme, NADPH oxidase, have not been elucidated. We have shown that phosphatidic acid (PA) and diacylglycerol (DG), products of phospholipase activation, synergize to activate NADPH oxidase in a cell-free system. We now report that activation by PA plus DG involves protein kinase activity, unlike other cell-free system activators. NADPH oxidase activation by PA plus DG is reduced approximately 70% by several protein kinase inhibitors [1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)piperazine, staurosporine, GF-109203X]. Similarly, depletion of ATP by dialysis reduces PA plus DG-mediated NADPH oxidase activation by approximately 70%. Addition of ATP, but not a nonhydrolyzable ATP analog, to the dialyzed system restores activation levels to normal. In contrast, these treatments have little effect on NADPH oxidase activation by arachidonic acid or SDS plus DG. PA plus DG induces the phosphorylation of a number of endogenous proteins. Phosphorylation is largely mediated by PA, not DG. A predominant substrate is p47-phox, a phosphoprotein component of NADPH oxidase. Phosphorylation of p47-phox precedes activation of NADPH oxidase and is markedly reduced by the protein kinase inhibitors. In contrast, arachidonic acid alone or SDS plus DG is a poor activator of protein phosphorylation in the cell-free system. Thus, PA induces activation of one or more protein kinases that regulate NADPH oxidase activation in a cell-free system. This cell-free system will be useful for identifying a functionally important PA-activated protein kinase(s) and for dissecting the phosphorylation-dependent mechanisms responsible for NADPH oxidase activation.

Stimulation of neutrophils with a variety of stimuli can result in the activation of phospholipases A2, C, or D with the resultant hydrolysis of plasma membrane phospholipids and the formation of important second messenger molecules. In the neutrophil, the activities of these phospholipases have been implicated in the processes of both stimulating and maintaining oxidase activation. In this review, some of the methods currently used to measure the products of phospholipase activation in the neutrophil are described, along with the possible role of their products in reactive oxidant production by the neutrophil NADPH oxidase.

1. Brief exposure of cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells (GMC) to H2O2 in nominally bicarbonate-free solution induced a rapid dose dependent, dantrolene-inhibitable increase in intracellular free Ca2+ from 65 +/- 6 to 203 +/- 14 nmol/L and a prolonged release of [14C]-arachidonic acid [14C]-AA which preceded the onset of cell membrane damage assessed by trypan-blue uptake. 2. Ca2+ responses were potentiated in HCO3-/CO2 containing buffers and reached values of 1145 +/- 100 nmol/L at 1 mmol/L H2O2. In HCO3-/CO2 solutions, but not HEPES buffer, H2O2-induced Ca2+ increases were markedly attenuated by verapamil (100 mumol/L) or removal of extracellular calcium. 3. Enhanced release of [14C]-AA was partially attenuated by inhibitors of key intracellular signalling mechanisms including the phospholipase-A2 (PLA2) inhibitor mepacrine (100 mumol/L), the NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenyliodonium (10 mumol/L), the mitochondrial calcium-cycling inhibitor ruthenium red (10 mumol/L) and the iron chelator dipyridyl (100 mumol/L). Release was unaffected by protein kinase C inhibition with H7 (100 mumol/L), inositol triphosphate antagonism with neomycin (1 mmol/L) or overnight treatment with the G-protein antagonist pertussis toxin (5 micrograms/mL). 4. Several structurally diverse lipoxygenase inhibitors, including esculetin, baicalein and phenidone, over the dose range 1-100 mumol/L, also prevented [14C]-AA release and markedly protected against cell membrane damage. No drug directly scavenged H2O2 assessed by UV absorption. 5. These results indicate that H2O2 activates in GMC a complex series of interrelated pathological mechanisms which in turn contribute to a prolongation of oxidative damage beyond the time of the initial exposure. These include an increase in intracellular calcium which, depending upon conditions, appears to be mediated by release from intracellular stores as well as Ca2+ entry from the extracellular space. In turn there is a sustained release of arachidonic acid, which may partly depend on prolonged activation of PLA2 but not phospholipase C. 6. Release of [14C]-AA could be attenuated by inhibitors of NADPH oxidase, mitochondrial calcium-cycling, iron chelators and a structurally diverse range of lipoxygenase inhibitors in association with protection from H2O2-mediated cell membrane damage.

Effects of the farnesylcysteine mimetic, farnesylthiosalicylate on the activation of myeloid cells were studied. In dimethyl-sulfoxide-differentiated HL60 cells and in human neutrophils farnesylthiosalicylate (< or = 20 microM) dose-dependently elevated cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations, suggesting phospholipase-C-mediated release of the ion from intracellular stores. In human neutrophils, in addition to the production of inositol trisphosphate, farnesylthiosalicylate induced activation of the NADPH oxidase and translocation of the cytosolic oxidase components p47-phox and p67-phox to the membrane. The calcium signal, inositol-trisphosphate production and superoxide generation elicited by farnesylthiosalicylate were partially blocked by treatment of the cells with pertussis toxin, consistent with participation of pertussis-toxin-sensitive and pertussis-toxin-resistant elements. In HL60 cells, farnesylthiosalicylate (< or = 20 microM) did not activate NADPH oxidase but dose-dependently augmented PMA-elicited activity of the enzyme. This effect was resistant to pertussis-toxin treatment. In vitro augmentation of PKC-mediated phosphorylation of histone and cytosolic p47-phox by farnesylthiosalicylate and the finding that downregulation of PKC abrogated potentiation of NADPH oxidase activity by farnesylthiosalicylate were compatible with the involvement of PKC in the response of HL60 cells to farnesylthiosalicylate. It is suggested that the effects of farnesylthiosalicylate on myeloid cells reflect interaction of the analog with prenylcysteine-docking sites on cellular signaling elements.

Phagocytosis, the process by which leukocytes recognize and destroy invading pathogens, is essential for host defense. The binding of foreign organisms to phagocytic leukocytes initiates a complex signaling cascade which ultimately results in the entrapment and destruction of the pathogen. The signal transduction pathway mediating phagocytosis is the subject of intense investigation and is known to include protein tyrosine kinases, GTP-binding proteins, protein kinase C (PKC), actin polymerization and membrane movement. A rapidly expanding body of evidence suggests that phospholipases play an integral role in phagocytosis by generating essential second messengers. Here we review the data linking activation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), phospholipase C (PLC) phospholipase D (PLD), and phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase (PI(3)K) to antibody (IgG)-mediated phagocytosis. Evidence is presented that (1) PLA2-derived arachidonic acid (AA) stimulates NADPH oxidase and membrane redistribution during phagocytosis, (2) the inositol-3,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) products of PLC activate NADPH oxidase and PKC, and (3) sequential activation of PLD and phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase may provide an alternative pathway for generation of DAG. Additionally, considerable evidence exists that wortmannin, a PI(3)K inhibitor, depresses phagocytosis. This finding is discussed in the context of the extensive effects PI(3)K products have on endocytosis and exocytosis and the potential role of membrane redistribution in phagocytosis. Finally, a model is presented which integrates data obtained from a variety of phagocytic systems and illustrates potential interactions that may exist between phospholipase-derived second messengers and signaling events required for phagocytosis.

The human IgA Fc receptor (FcalphaR, CD89) triggers several important physiological functions, including phagocytosis, NADPH oxidase activation and antigen presentation. Efforts are underway to delineate FcalphaR signal-transduction pathways that control these functions. In a previous study, we demonstrated that cross-linking of FcalphaR increased its partitioning into membrane glycolipid rafts and was accompanied by gamma-chain-dependent recruitment and phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinases Lck/Yes-related novel protein tyrosine kinase (Lyn) and Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk). Here we have performed a more extensive characterization of signalling effectors recruited to rafts on FcalphaR cross-linking. We demonstrate that in addition to tyrosine kinases Lyn and Btk, FcalphaR cross-linking also recruits B-lymphocyte kinase (Blk) and spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) to rafts. We show recruitment of phosphoinositide kinases, including 3-phosphoinositide 3-kinase and phospholipase Cgamma2, and serine/threonine kinases such as protein kinase C (PKC) alpha, PKCepsilon, and protein kinase B (PKB) alpha. This suggests that lipid rafts serve as sites for FcalphaR-triggered recruitment of multiple classes of signalling effectors. We further demonstrate that tyrosine kinases and PKCalpha have a sustained association with rafts, whereas phosphoinositide 3-kinase and its downstream effectors have a transient association with rafts. This is consistent with temporally regulated divergence of FcalphaR signalling pathways in rafts. Furthermore, we suggest the spatial separation of signalling effectors by transport of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1, PKBalpha and PKCepsilon to endocytic compartments containing internalized FcalphaR.

Earlier studies, including our own, revealed that activation of mast cells is accompanied by production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that help to mediate the release of the inflammatory mediators, including histamine and eicosanoids. However, little is known about the mechanisms of ROS production, including the species of oxidants produced. In this study we show that in both the RBL-2H3 mast cell line and bone marrow-derived mast cells, FcepsilonRI cross-linking stimulates intracellular oxidative burst, including hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) production, as defined with the oxidant-sensitive dyes dichlorofluorescein and scopoletin and the selective scavenger ebselen (2-phenyl-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one). The oxidative burst was observed immediately after stimulation and was most likely due to an NAD(P)H oxidase. Experiments using selective pharmacological inhibitors demonstrated that activation of tyrosine kinases and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase is required for induction of the oxidative burst. Blockade of the oxidative burst by diphenyleneiodonium impaired the release of preformed granular mediators, such as histamine and beta-hexosaminidase, and the secretion of newly synthesized leukotriene C(4), whereas selective scavenging H(2)O(2) by ebselen impaired leukotriene C(4) secretion, but not degranulation. Sustained elevation of cytosolic calcium through store-operated calcium entry was totally abolished when ROS production was blocked. In contrast, selective depletion of H(2)O(2) caused a considerable decrease and delay of the calcium response. Finally, tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase Cgamma and the linker for activation of T cells, an event required for calcium influx, was suppressed by diphenyleneiodonium and ebselen. These studies demonstrate that activation of the intracellular oxidative burst is an important regulatory mechanism of mast cell responses.

Superoxide production by NADPH oxidase is essential for the bactericidal properties of phagocytes. Phosphorylation of p47(phox), one of the cytosolic components of NADPH oxidase, is a crucial step of the oxidase activation. Some evidences suggest that phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is involved in p47(phox) phosphorylation, but it has not been fully understood how PI3K regulates it. The aim of this study was to examine the mechanism underlying the PI3K regulation of p47(phox) phosphorylation. Pharmacological inhibition of PI3K attenuated both fMLP-stimulated p47(phox) phosphorylation and NADPH oxidase activity in HL-60 cells differentiated to a neutrophil-like phenotype. Although fMLP elicited Akt activation in a PI3K-dependent manner, an Akt inhibitor had no effect on the oxidase activity triggered by fMLP. In vitro kinase assay revealed that Akt was unable to catalyze p47(phox) phosphorylation. Interestingly, the activation of cPKC and PKCdelta after fMLP stimulation was dependent on PI3K. Furthermore, PI3K inhibitors reduced the activation of phospholipase Cgamma2 without affecting tyrosine phosphorylation on it. These results suggest that PI3K regulates the phosphorylation of NADPH oxidase component p47(phox) by controlling diacylglycerol-dependent PKCs but not Akt.
