Neutrophils from patients suffering from severe congenital neutropenia (SCN), who were receiving recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF), were investigated in order to analyze the previously described decrease in chemotaxis. This study demonstrated the decreased chemotaxis to five well-known chemoattractants, FMLP, C5a, IL-8, LTB4 and PAF. To further investigate this impairment of patients' neutrophils, receptors and receptor turnover for chemoattractants were examined using flow cytometry. We found 1) increased FMLP receptor and decreased C5a receptor expression, 2) a normal expression of intracellular FMLP receptors after incubation with PMA, 3) increased loss and decreased re-expression of FMLP receptors after incubation with this peptide, 4) normal expression of adhesion glycoproteins CR3 (CD11b/CD18) and LFA1 (CD11a/CD18), 5) further signs of in vivo preactivation: high expression of Fc gamma-RI (CD64) and Fc gamma-RII (CD32), decreased expression of Fc gamma-RIII (CD16), increased expression of CD14, and low expression of HLA-DR. These data demonstrate that the decrease of chemotaxis of neutrophils from SCN patients is not due: a) to a decrease in the number of intra- or extracellular FMLP receptors; b) to a decrease of adhesion molecules. However, the decreased chemotaxis could result from an altered FMLP receptor turnover. The relevance of the altered Fc gamma-receptor pattern for the in vivo occurrence of side-effects, e.g. the necrotic vasculitis, of G-CSF treatment is discussed.

The CD45 Ag family is a group of high m.w. glycoproteins that are expressed on the plasma membranes of all leukocytes. CD45 has protein tyrosine phosphatase activity and appears to regulate signal transduction and lymphocyte activation by specific association with receptor molecules on T and B lymphocytes. However, little is known about CD45 function in neutrophils (PMN). In this study, PMN were incubated with CD45 mAb and tested for their chemotactic responses to four unrelated chemo-attractants: FMLP, leukotriene B4 (LTB4), recombinant human C5a (C5a), and recombinant human neutrophil-activating protein-1, recently designated IL-8. A panel of CD45 mAb including an IgM mAb, AHN-12.1, and six IgG1 mAb, AHN-12, AHN-12.2, AHN-12.3, AHN-12.4, HLe-1, and KC56(T200), were tested for their effects on PMN chemotaxis. PMN chemotaxis was evaluated with two different membrane assays; one assay quantified the total number of migrating PMN and the other assayed the leading front of migrating PMN. AHN-12.1 and KC56(T200) significantly inhibited PMN chemotaxis to LTB4 and C5a. AHN-12.1 slightly inhibited PMN chemotaxis to FMLP, but KC56(T200) did not. In contrast, AHN-12 and HLe-1 did not significantly inhibit PMN chemotaxis to any of the chemoattractants. None of the CD45 mAb inhibited PMN chemotaxis to neutrophil-activating protein-1/IL-8. None of the CD45 mAb inhibited PMN superoxide production. These results suggest that PMN CD45 epitopes may interact with LTB4 and C5a receptor-associated molecules and regulate chemotactic responses.

Several cDNA clones encoding receptors for leukocyte chemoattractants, including IL-8, C5a, N-formyl peptides (FP), and platelet-activating factor, have been isolated in the past 3 years. The primary structure of these receptors revealed that they are members of the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors containing seven transmembrane domains. In this study the polymerase chain reaction was carried out to isolate novel cDNA clones encoding human receptors of IL-8 related cytokines, chemokines, from a human monocyte cDNA library using degenerate oligonucleotide primers devised from conserved sequences among the cDNAs encoding the human receptors for IL-8, FP and C5a. Four novel cDNA clones (HM63, HM74, HM89, and HM145) in addition to cDNAs for FP and C5a receptors were isolated. All polypeptides encoded by the cloned cDNAs share common features with the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, such as seven putative hydrophobic transmembrane domains and, except for HM74, N-linked glycosylation sites near the N-terminus. The amino acid sequence identities among HM63, HM89, HM145, IL-8 receptors, FP receptor, and C5a receptor are in the range of 24-68%, higher than those of other members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. Moreover, the number of amino acids between the fifth and sixth transmembrane domains, which varies within this superfamily, is the same in these receptors. Thus, three of the newly identified proteins probably belong to a 'leukocyte chemotactic peptide receptor family'. HM74 differs from the other clones with respect to the amino acid homology, suggesting that this may be the receptor for a different type of ligand. Furthermore, it was confirmed that HM145 is a functional receptor for LD78, one of the C-C chemokines, as revealed by the measurement of decrease of cAMP accumulation as well as calcium influx using stable transfectants.

The molecular cloning of the C5a receptor places this molecule in the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors. This superfamily is characterized by the presence of signature motifs including seven hydrophobic domains which span the cell membrane and impart a predicted serpentine topology to the receptor proteins. The identification of other members of this family, including receptors for the chemokines IL-8 and Mip-1/Rantes, thrombin, formyl peptide, and platelet activating factor, provide new tools for understanding structure-function relationships relevant to the inflammatory process. This review focuses on the recent biological studies concerning the ligand C5a and its cellular receptor, the structure/activity relationships so far discerned, signal transduction mechanisms, progress toward identification of receptor antagonists, and some likely directions for future studies. Where appropriate, relevant work on related seven transmembrane segment receptors is discussed.

The genes encoding for six receptors involved in the proinflammatory response lie on different chromosomes. Two receptors for N-formylpeptides (FPR1, FPR2), one homologue of these (FPRL2), and the receptor for complement fragment C5a (C5aR) are encoded by four genes mapped to human chromosome 19. The genes encoding two receptors for Interleukin-8 (IL8RA, IL8RB) have been located on human chromosome 2. In this report we describe the physical linkage between these genes in two different clusters. DNA fragments obtained by digestion with several restriction enzymes were separated by pulsed field gel electrophoresis. Nylon filters were hybridized with probes corresponding to the complete translated sequences of these genes. These probes were obtained from a human neutrophil cDNA-library. The four genes on chromosome 19 are contained in a 200 kilobase (kb) fragment. Both Interleukin-8 receptors are on a 150 kb fragment. The complete translated sequences for these genes were amplified from genomic DNA, indicating that they are contained in a single exon.

Human neutrophils were exposed to the chemotactic factors C5a, FMLP, IL-8, leukotriene B4, and PAF, for 30 s, and subsequently analyzed for protein tyrosine phosphorylation by immunoblotting whole cell lysates with a polyclonal antiphosphotyrosine Ab. All chemotactic factors caused the rapid de novo tyrosine phosphorylation of a broad band of approximately 120 kDa and increased the phosphotyrosine content of several other proteins, including two with molecular masses of 60 and 56 kDa that were present in the unstimulated neutrophil. Tyrosine phosphorylation was evident as early as 10 s after stimulation and was maintained for 1 to 3 min before dephosphorylation occurred. The extent of tyrosine phosphorylation was dependent on the concentration of chemotactic factor, with stimulation observed at concentrations as low as 10 to 100 nM. To investigate the pathway used by chemotactic factors to transduce this signal, neutrophils were treated with PMA. PMA also stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation in the neutrophil but with a slower response time and a different pattern of affected proteins. Additional experiments suggested that tyrosine phosphorylation is involved in the regulation of the neutrophil respiratory burst because the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, herbimycin A, inhibited C5a-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation and also prevented C5a- and FMLP-induced superoxide anion production. Herbimycin A also inhibited PMA-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and superoxide anion production. To confirm that the ability to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation was intrinsic to the C5a receptor, tyrosine phosphorylation was examined in both undifferentiated U937 cells (C5a receptor negative) and cAMP differentiated U937 cells (C5a receptor positive). C5a induced tyrosine phosphorylation only in differentiated U937 cells. Analysis of the C5a receptor mRNA using the PCR confirmed its presence in differentiated and its absence in undifferentiated U937 cells. Therefore, C5a stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation via a receptor-mediated mechanism and U937 cells provide a system in which G-coupled receptor-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation can be investigated.

Results obtained indicate that a site-directed polyclonal antibody specific for a synthetic peptide based on the predicted amino-terminal sequence of human C5aR (anti-C5aR(9-29)) is capable of binding to both normal human and transfected cells bearing C5aR. Flow cytometric analysis of stable murine L cell transfectants (C5aR-neo), human neutrophils, and human monocytes indicated that these cells bound anti-C5aR(9-29) in a specific manner. Moreover, F(ab')2 fragments of anti-C5aR(9-29) specifically neutralized proinflammatory and immunoregulatory activities induced by natural human C5a. This antiserum was found to block, in a dose-dependent manner, 1) zymosan-induced neutrophil chemotaxis, 2) C5a-induced enzyme release from neutrophils, and 3) C5a-induced cytokine production (IL-6 and IL-8) from human monocytes in vitro. These results suggest that this site-directed polyclonal antiserum specifically interacts with the human C5aR molecule. To the best of our knowledge, none of the existing reports in the literature provided evidence for a site-directed antiserum to C5aR that was capable of specifically blocking C5a-mediated inflammatory/immunoregulatory activities in vitro. Studies conducted with anti-C5aR(9-29) indicated that this antiserum effectively blocked C5a-mediated cell activation but by itself did not activate either neutrophils or monocytes. Combined, these data suggest that this antiserum does not interact with the C5a "effector" site but sterically interferes with C5a binding to its receptor by interacting with the extracellular amino-terminal region of the receptor.

Several chemoattractant receptors can support agonist-induced, integrin-dependent arrest of rolling neutrophils in inflamed venules in vivo, as well as subsequent crawling into tissues. It has been hypothesized that receptors of the Galpha(i)-linked chemoattractant subfamilies, especially receptors for chemokines, may mediate parallel activation-dependent arrest of homing lymphocyte subsets. However, although several chemokines can attract subsets of B or T cells, robust chemoattractant triggering of resting lymphocyte adhesion to vascular ligands has not been observed. To study the biology of individual leukocyte chemoattractant receptors in a defined lymphoid environment, mouse L1/2 pre-B cells and/or human Jurkat T cells were transfected with alpha (IL-8 receptor A) or beta (MIP-1alpha/CC-CKR-1) chemokine receptors, or with the classical chemoattractant C5a (C5aR) or formyl peptide receptors (fPR). All receptors supported robust agonist-dependent alpha4beta1 integrin-mediated adhesion of lymphocytes to VCAM-1. L1/2 cells cotransfected with fPR and beta7 integrin were also induced to bind MAdCAM-1, suggesting common mechanisms coupling chemoattractant receptors to activation of distinct integrins. Adhesion was rapid but transient, with spontaneous reversion to unstimulated levels within 5 min after peak binding. When observed under flow conditions, alpha4beta1-mediated arrest occurred within seconds after initiation of contact and rolling of IL-8RA transfectants on VCAM-1/IL-8 co-coated surface; and arrest reversed spontaneously after a mean of 5 min with a return to rolling behavior. Each of the receptors also conferred agonist-specific chemotaxis; however, whereas strong adhesion required simultaneous occupancy of many receptors with maximal responses above the Kd, chemotaxis in each case was suppressed at high agonist concentrations. The findings indicate that alpha and beta chemokine as well as classical chemoattractant receptors can trigger robust adhesion as well as directed migration of lymphoid cells, but that the requirements for and kinetics of adhesion triggering and chemotaxis are distinct, thus permitting their independent regulation. They suggest that the discordance between proadhesive and chemoattractant responses of circulating lymphocytes to many chemokines may reflect quantitative aspects of receptor expression and/or coupling rather than qualitative differences in receptor signaling.

Cross-desensitization among receptors for peptide chemoattractants have been shown to involve two independent processes, receptor phosphorylation and inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) activation. Receptors for lipid chemoattractants, i.e. platelet activating factor (PAF) and leukotriene B4, did not inhibit the responses of peptide chemoattractant receptors, suggesting distinct signaling pathways. To examine cross-desensitization between receptors for lipid and peptide chemoattractants, cDNA encoding the PAF receptor (PAFR) was co-expressed into RBL-2H3 cells with cDNAs encoding receptors for either formylated peptides (FR), a product of the fifth component of complement (C5aR) or interleukin-8 A (IL-8RA). PAFR was homologously phosphorylated and desensitized by PAF, and cross-phosphorylated and cross-desensitized by fMet-Leu-Phe, C5a, and IL-8. In contrast, the receptors for peptide chemoattractants were neither cross-phosphorylated nor cross-desensitized by PAF. Staurosporine blocked cross-phosphorylation and cross-desensitization of the PAFR by peptide chemoattractants. Truncation of the cytoplasmic tail of PAFR (mPAFR) abolished its homologous and cross-phosphorylation. mPAFR was also resistant to cross-desensitization by peptide chemoattractants at the level of PLC activation. Interestingly, mPAFR mediated a sustained Ca2+ mobilization in response to PAF and was more active in inducing GTPase activity, phosphoinositide hydrolysis, secretion, and phospholipase D activation than the wild type PAFR. In contrast to PAFR, stimulation of the mPAFR cross-phosphorylated and cross-desensitized responses to IL-8RA. As expected, FR, which is resistant to cross-phosphorylation by C5aR and IL-8RA, was not phosphorylated by mPAFR. However, unlike C5aR and IL-8RA, mPAFR did not inhibit the ability of FR to activate PLC. Blocking Ca2+ influx inhibited mPAFR-mediated sustained Ca2+ response, phospholipase D activation and secretion, but not phosphoinositide hydrolysis and cross-phosphorylation and cross-desensitization of IL-8RA. The data herein suggest that cross-desensitization of PAFR by peptide chemoattractants is solely due to receptor phosphorylation. The PAFR and the peptide chemoattractant receptors do not cross-regulate each other at the level of PLC, suggesting distinct regulatory pathways.

Interleukin-8 (IL-8) receptor A (CXCR1) couples to a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein to mediate phospholipase Cbeta (PLCbeta) activation and cellular responses. Responses to CXCR1 are attenuated by prior exposure of neutrophils to either IL-8, a cleavage product of the fifth component of complement (C5a) or n-formylated peptides (formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine, fMLP). To characterize the role of receptor phosphorylation in the regulation of the CXCR1, a phosphorylation-deficient mutant, M2CXCR1, was constructed. This receptor, stably expressed in RBL-2H3 cells, coupled more efficiently to G protein and stimulated enhanced phosphoinositide hydrolysis, cAMP production, exocytosis, and phospholipase D activation, and was resistant to IL-8-induced receptor internalization. The rate and total amount of ligand stimulated actin polymerization remained unchanged, but interestingly, chemotaxis was decreased by approximately 30% compared with the wild type receptor. To study the role of receptor phosphorylation in cross-desensitization of chemoattractant receptors, M2CXCR1 was coexpressed with cDNAs encoding receptors for either fMLP (FR), C5a (C5aR), or platelet-activating factor (PAFR). Both C5aR and PAFR were cross-phosphorylated upon M2CXCR1 activation, resulting in attenuated guanosine 5'-3'-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTPgammaS) binding in membranes. In contrast, FR and M2CXCR1 were resistant to cross-phosphorylation and cross-inhibition of GTPgammaS binding by other receptors. Despite the resistance of M2CXCR1 to cross-phosphorylation and receptor/G protein uncoupling, its susceptibility to cross-desensitization of its Ca2+ response by fMLP and C5a, was equivalent to CXCR1. Regardless of the enhancement in certain receptor functions in M2CXCR1 compared with the wild type CXCR1, the mutated receptors mediated equivalent PLCbeta3 phosphorylation and cross-desensitization of Ca2+ mobilization by FR, C5aR, and PAFR. The results herein indicate that phosphorylation of CXCR1 regulates some, but not all of the receptors functions. While receptor phosphorylation inhibits G protein turnover, PLC activation, Ca2+ mobilization and secretion, it is required for normal chemotaxis and receptor internalization. Since phosphorylation of CXCR1 had no effect on its ability to induce phosphorylation of PLCbeta3 or to mediate class-desensitization, these activities may be mediated by independently regulated pathways.
