Formyl-methionine-containing peptides (e.g. fMet-Leu-Phe) stimulate a variety of neutrophil functions by interacting with specific cell surface receptors which are coupled via G-proteins to stimulation of phospholipase C. Two markedly distinct cDNAs coding for formyl peptide receptors have recently been isolated from a rabbit and a human cDNA library respectively. To examine the hitherto unknown signal transduction properties of the formyl peptide receptor encoded by the human cDNA, we have used the PCR to clone this cDNA from poly(A)+ RNA of myeloid differentiated human leukaemia (HL-60) cells, and have injected the cDNA-derived receptor cRNA into Xenopus laevis oocytes. Receptor activity was determined electrophysiologically by measuring the agonist-dependent opening of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i)-independent Cl- channels. Injection of pure formyl peptide receptor cRNA did not lead to peptide-dependent changes in membrane current. In contrast, marked alterations of membrane current were observed in response to formyl peptides when the receptor cRNA was supplemented with poly(A)+ RNA isolated from undifferentiated HL-60 cells. Injection of the latter RNA did not lead to formyl-peptide-dependent alterations of membrane current. Binding studies using a radioiodinated formyl peptide revealed that injection of formyl peptide receptor cRNA alone led to expression of the formyl peptide receptor on the oocyte surface, and that co-injection of poly(A)+ RNA from undifferentiated HL-60 cells did not alter the level of receptor expression. Size fractionation of poly(A)+ RNA from undifferentiated HL-60 cells showed that the mRNA required to complement formyl-peptide-dependent signal transduction in oocytes had a size of approx. 3-3.5 kb. These results strongly suggest that the human formyl peptide receptor requires a specific cofactor(s), which is lacking in Xenopus oocytes but is present in undifferentiated HL-60 cells, to activate the second messenger pathway in oocytes. Identification of this factor will provide important information about the molecular mechanisms by which G-protein-coupled granulocyte-activating receptors stimulate phospholipase C.

The tyrosine kinase inhibitors ST271, ST638 and erbstatin inhibited phospholipase D (PLD) activity in human neutrophils stimulated by fMet-Leu-Phe, platelet-activating factor and leukotriene B4. These compounds did not inhibit phorbol ester-stimulated PLD, indicating that they do not inhibit PLD per se, but probably act at a site between the receptor and the phospholipase. In contrast, the protein kinase C inhibitor Ro-31-8220 inhibited phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate- but not fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated PLD activity, arguing against the involvement of protein kinase C in the receptor-mediated activation of PLD. ST271 did not inhibit Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation, but did inhibit protein tyrosine phosphorylation stimulated by fMet-Leu-Phe. The phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor pervanadate increased tyrosine phosphorylation and stimulated PLD. These results suggest that tyrosine kinase activity is involved in receptor coupling to PLD but not to PtdIns(4,5)P2-specific phospholipase C in the human neutrophil.

Human neutrophils and dibutyryl-cAMP (Bt2cAMP)-differentiated HL-60 cells possess receptors for the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe), which mediate activation of phospholipase C, with subsequent increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and activation of specific cell functions. In many cell types, histamine, via H1 receptors, activates phospholipase C, but it is unknown whether neutrophilic cells possess functional H1 receptors. We compared the effects of histamine with those of fMet-Leu-Phe on activation of these cells. In Bt2cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells, substances increased [Ca2+]i in the effectiveness order fMet-Leu-Phe greater than histamine greater than betahistine. Pertussis toxin diminished fMet-Leu-Phe-induced rises in [Ca2+]i to a greater extent than those induced by histamine. H1 but not H2 antagonists inhibited histamine- and betahistine-induced rises in [Ca2+]i. fMet-Leu-Phe and histamine activated phospholipase C and increased [Ca2+]i through release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and sustained influx of Ca2+ from the extracellular space. The substances also induced Mn2+ influx. Ca2+ and Mn2+ influxes were inhibited by 1-(beta-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propoxyl]-4-methoxyphenethyl)-1H-imida zole hydrochloride (SK&F 96365). The stimulatory effects of histamine on [Ca2+]i were more sensitive to inhibition by 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate than were those of fMet-Leu-Phe. Unlike fMet-Leu-Phe, histamine did not activate superoxide anion formation, release of beta-glucuronidase, and tyrosine phosphorylation. In neutrophils, histamine and betahistine did not induce rises in [Ca2+]i. Our data show that (i) in Bt2cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells, histamine increases [Ca2+]i via H1 receptors coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive and possibly, pertussis toxin-insensitive heterotrimeric regulatory guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, (ii) histamine activates nonselective cation channels, and (iii) unlike fMet-Leu-Phe, histamine is an incomplete secretagogue.

Receptors for the chemotactic peptide fMet-Leu-Phe (fMet, N-formylmethionine) are present in membranes of myeloid differentiated human leukemia (HL-60) cells and stimulate phospholipase C via a pertussis-toxin-sensitive guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory protein(s) [G-protein(s)]. We have developed methods for the assessment of formyl-peptide-receptor-stimulated binding of radiolabeled guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate ([35S]GTP[S]) to native HL-60 membranes. Agonist stimulation of [35S]GTP[S] association with the membrane was minimal (less than or equal to 20%) when GTP[S] was the sole nucleotide present in the incubation medium. In contrast, receptor activation led to a marked (up to sixfold) stimulation of [35S]GTP[S] binding when GDP or GTP were present in high (greater than 100-fold) excess of [35S]GTP[S]. The increase in [35S]GTP[S] binding caused by the chemotactic agonist was strictly dependent on the presence of Mg2+ and was significantly increased by Na+. Agonist-independent binding of [35S]GTP[S] and the increase due to the chemotactic agonist were markedly attenuated by both pertussis and cholera toxin. Comparison of the number of chemotactic-peptide-sensitive [35S]GTP[S]-binding sites to the number of chemotactic peptide receptors present in HL-60 membranes provided direct evidence that a single formyl-peptide receptor is capable of catalyzing the binding of [35S]GTP[S] to, and thus the activation of, multiple (up to 20) G-proteins in native plasma membranes.

1. The fungal metabolite, wortmannin, has recently been shown to inhibit fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated superoxide production and phospholipase D (PLD) activation in the human neutrophil. 2. We have found that a close structural analogue of wortmannin, demethoxyviridin, has a similar inhibitory profile but in addition blocks phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-specific phospholipase C and hence inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) formation. 3. Inhibition of fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated PLD by demethoxyviridin was characteristically non-competitive (IC50 = 31 +/- 10 nM). 4. Inhibition of fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulation IP3 formation required concentrations almost 10 times higher (IC50 = 250 +/- 130 nM). 5. Surprisingly, demethoxyviridin only inhibited fMet-Leu-Phe-induced intracellular calcium mobilization at concentrations 100 times greater than those needed to block IP3 formation. 6. Demethoxyviridin also inhibited PLD activation induced by sodium fluoride or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) but the concentrations required were 100 times those needed to block fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated PLD. 7. These observations support the contention that PLD plays an important role in signal transduction in the human neutrophil and indicate that wortmannin and demethoxyviridin inhibit PLD activation at a common step in the signalling pathway. 8. Furthermore, these results suggest that demethoxyviridin may block the interaction between the chemotactic peptide receptor and a GTP-binding protein that is intimately involved in PLD activation.

Undifferentiated and differentiated HL-60 leukemic cells possess nucleotide receptors which functionally couple to phospholipase C via pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins). We investigated the role of extracellular nucleotides in the regulation of beta-glucuronidase release in HL-60 cells. In dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt2cAMP)-differentiated HL-60 cells, the chemotactic peptide, N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe), the phosphorothioate analogue of ATP, adenosine 5'-O-[3-thio]triphosphate (ATP[gamma S]), and UTP increased cytosolic Ca2+ from 100 nM up to 1.2 microM with EC50 values of 4 nM, 1 microM and 100 nM, respectively. In these cells, ATP[gamma S] induced exocytosis with an EC50 of 4 microM and an effectiveness amounting to 50-70% of that of fMet-Leu-Phe. ATP, ITP, UTP, CTP, and uridine 5'-O-[2-thio]diphosphate activated exocytosis as well. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) induced exocytosis with an EC50 of 115 ng/ml and an effectiveness similar to that of ATP[gamma S]. Cytochalasin B (CB) differently potentiated exocytosis induced by ATP[gamma S], fMet-Leu-Phe and PMA. Treatment of Bt2cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells with pertussis toxin (500 ng/ml) for 24 h resulted in ADP-ribosylation of more than 97.5% of the G-proteins. Under these conditions, pertussis toxin almost completely inhibited the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ and beta-glucuronidase release induced by fMet-Leu-Phe but only partially inhibited the effects of ATP[gamma S] and UTP. fMet-Leu-Phe at a non-stimulatory concentration (1 nM) potentiated ATP[gamma S]-induced beta-glucuronidase release in the presence but not in the absence of CB. In contrast, ATP[gamma S] and fMet-Leu-Phe synergistically activated superoxide formation in the absence of CB. PMA potentiated superoxide formation induced by ATP[gamma S] or fMet-Leu-Phe and did not affect exocytosis induced by ATP[gamma S] or fMet-Leu-Phe. In undifferentiated HL-60 cells, fMet-Leu-Phe, ATP[gamma S], UTP and PMA did not induce beta-glucuronidase release. fMet-Leu-Phe did not increase cytosolic Ca2+ in undifferentiated HL-60 cells, whereas ATP[gamma S] and UTP were similarly potent and effective as in Bt2cAMP-differentiated cells. In differentiated HL-60 cells, fMet-Leu-Phe induced aggregation, and ATP[gamma S] induced a transient shape change. Our results show (I) that exocytosis in HL-60 cells does not obligatorily depend on CB. (II) Purine and pyrimidine nucleotides activate exocytosis via pertussis toxin-sensitive and -insensitive signal transduction pathways.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Phospholipase C (specific for inositol lipids) is known to be present both in membranes and cytosol. Receptor-mediated activation of this enzyme occurs via a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (G-protein), designated Gp. We have compared the stimulation of this enzyme by fMet-Leu-Phe via the G-protein in HL60 membranes and in permeabilised cells. fMet-Leu-Phe stimulated phospholipase C in membranes at 2 min and the response was dependent on exogenously added GTP. GTP alone also stimulated phospholipase C activity such that at 10 min the response to fMet-Leu-Phe was minimal. In comparison, the response to fMet-Leu-Phe in permeabilised cells was greater in extent but did not require added GTP. However, it was antagonized by GDP analogues (GDP[beta S] greater than GDP greater than dGDP) and by pertussis toxin pretreatment, indicating that fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated phospholipase C activity was also mediated via Gp. GTP and its analogue GTP[gamma S] also stimulated phospholipase C and their effects were strictly additive to the stimulation obtained with fMet-Leu-Phe. Such additivity was also observed when two receptor-directed agonists, fMet-Leu-Phe and ATP, were used to stimulate intact cells. It is concluded that (a) the size of the response with fMet-Leu-Phe in membranes is limited by the loss of a component, possibly phospholipase C, and (b) stoichiometry and physical organisation of multiple species of G-proteins and/or phospholipases C may explain the independent nature of phospholipase C activation by fMet-Leu-Phe, ATP and guanine nucleotides.

The marine toxin maitotoxin (MTX) and the chemotactic peptide fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP) induce the formation of inositol phosphates in HL-60 cells differentiated with dibutyryl cyclic AMP. The increase in [3H]inositol(1,4,5)-trisphosphate is rapid but transient after fMLP stimulation, whereas MTX-induced increase in [3H]inositol(1,4,5)-trisphosphate occurs at a slower rate and is sustained over time. In both cases increases in [Ca++]i, measured with fura-2, parallel the formation of inositol trisphosphate. MTX-mediated stimulation of inositol phosphate formation is inhibited in the absence of calcium, whereas the response to fMLP is not. The calcium ionophore ionomycin stimulates the formation of inositol phosphates in differentiated HL-60 cells. The magnitude of the response is smaller than that obtained with MTX. Ionomycin also induces a rapid but sustained increase of [Ca++]i. In undifferentiated HL-60 cells, neither fMLP nor ionomycin induce significant inositol phosphate formation, and the increase in [Ca++]i elicited by ionomycin is transient. In contrast, the effects of MTX on phosphoinositide breakdown and on [Ca++]i in undifferentiated cells are nearly identical to those elicited by MTX in differentiated cells. In the presence of the intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA, fMLP, ionomycin and MTX still stimulate the generation of inositol phosphates. Guanyl nucleotides and calcium stimulate phospholipase C activity in membrane preparations from differentiated HL-60 cells. fMLP stimulates the enzyme only in the presence of GTP. MTX has no effect on membrane phospholipase C activity.

The effects of Li+ on signal transduction in dibutyryl cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells were studied. Upon differentiation, these human promyelocytic leukemia cells express a chemotactic formyl peptide receptor, which is coupled through a guanine nucleotide-binding protein to phospholipase C. Stimulation with fMet-Leu-Phe results in changes in intracellular pH which are thought to be mediated by protein kinase C regulation of Na+/H+ antiporter function. Acute LiCl treatment (10 mM) was without any effect on Na+/H+ activity. However, pretreatment of HL-60 cells with 1 or 10 mM LiCl for at least 5 days resulted in a marked attenuation of fMet-Leu-Phe effects on Na+/H+ activity. In undifferentiated HL-60 cells, which lack fMet-Leu-Phe receptors, intracellular acidification induced by the proton ionophore nigericin generates an alkalinization response. Chronic (but not acute) Li+ treatment also resulted in an inhibition of the nigericin-mediated response. Furthermore, stimulation of the Na+/H+ antiporter by the phorbol ester, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, was also markedly attenuated by chronic LiCl treatment, suggesting an impairment of protein kinase C activity. In contrast, fMet-Leu-Phe-induced increases in intracellular Ca2+ and phospho-inositide breakdown were unchanged in cells treated with Li+ for 5 days. These results indicate that chronic but not acute Li+ treatment alters intracellular pH regulation possibly at a site distal to the fMet-Leu-Phe receptor.

Fluctuations in the amounts of choline, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diradylglycerol have been used to monitor phospholipase activation in the human neutrophil. Stimulation of human neutrophils by formylmethionyl-leucylphenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) resulted in a rapid activation of both phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate breakdown by phospholipase C and phosphatidylcholine breakdown by phospholipase D. Diradylglycerol accumulation occurred more slowly than that of either choline or IP3 and was inhibited by 30 mM-butanol, suggesting that the bulk was derived from the phospholipase D pathway via phosphatidate phosphohydrolase. Consistent with this is the observation that choline and diradylglycerol are produced in similar amounts. 1,2-Diacylglycerol (DAG) and 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycerol species accumulated with different time courses, indicating that one or more steps in the phospholipase D pathway was selective for the diacyl species. Superoxide production by fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated neutrophils paralleled DAG accumulation over the first 5 min, but thereafter this production stopped, despite the fact that DAG remained elevated. We conclude that DAG derived from the phospholipase D pathway is only one of the second messengers important in controlling this functional response.
