The role of myeloperoxidase in the regulation of the respiratory burst of human neutrophils activated by the chemotactic peptide (N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine) plus cytochalasin B was determined by using anti-(human myeloperoxidase) antibody. The respiratory burst activated under these conditions consisted of an initial (1-2 min) phase with high rates of O2 uptake, luminol-dependent chemiluminescence and superoxide radical (O2-.) generation and a second, more sustained, phase of lower magnitude of chemiluminescence and O2 uptake: O2-. generation did not occur during this second phase. In cell suspensions stimulated in the presence of anti-(human myeloperoxidase) antibody, the magnitude of the initial phase of both O2 uptake and O2-. generation was unaffected, but these high rates were maintained over much longer periods than in control suspensions. It is therefore proposed that a product of myeloperoxidase normally regulates the duration of O2-. generation during the respiratory burst, possibly by inhibition of NADPH oxidase.

Within 1 min of stimulation of human neutrophils by the chemotactic peptide (N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine) plus cytochalasin B, myeloperoxidase (together with other granule enzymes) was secreted and detected extracellularly. In contrast with the other granule constituents assayed (vitamin B12-binding protein and beta-glucuronidase), the activity of released myeloperoxidase rapidly decreased, so that, by 10 min after stimulation, only about 5% of the total cellular activity was detected. This inactivation was shown to be dependent on oxidant generation during the respiratory burst, since inactivation was not observed (a) after stimulation of anaerobic suspensions or (b) after release from neutrophils from a patient with chronic granulomatous disease; purified myeloperoxidase was rapidly inactivated after incubation with H2O2, presumably owing to the formation of an inactive enzyme-H2O2 complex. These results show that experiments designed to assess the role of myeloperoxidase in neutrophil functions which utilize assays based on peroxidase activity will grossly underestimate this enzyme if oxidant generation during the respiratory burst has also been activated.

Abstract The phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and calyculin A were found to elicit or to modify several neutrophil responses, suggesting that dephosphorylation plays a regulatory role. The concentrations of okadaic acid (> or = 1 mumol/L) that were effective on neutrophil functions (shape changes and marginal stimulation of pinocytosis) were shown to stimulate the incorporation of 32PO4 into many neutrophil proteins several-fold. Calyculin A was effective at 50-fold lower concentrations. In the presence of the inhibitors, the cells exhibited a nonpolar shape and the polarization response induced by chemotactic peptide was inhibited. Both phosphatase inhibitors also induced the association of F-actin with the cell membrane. A steady-state phosphatase activity is thus involved in maintaining shape and F-actin localization of resting cells. Inhibitors alone had no significant effect on the amount of cytoskeleton-associated actin. The increase in cytoskeletal actin observed at 30 minutes of stimulation with phorbol ester or 5 to 30 minutes of stimulation with chemotactic peptide, however, was abolished by okadaic acid or calyculin A, suggesting an important role of a phosphatase. In contrast, the early increase in cytoskeleton-associated actin observed at 1 minute of stimulation with peptide was not affected. This finding indicates that the increased association of actin with the cytoskeleton in the early and the later stages of neutrophil activation may be mediated by different signalling pathways.

In human neutrophils, mastoparan induced rapid F-actin polymerization which was followed by a slow and sustained depolymerization to below the initial F-actin content. Incubation of neutrophils with pertussis toxin inhibited mastoparan-stimulated actin polymerization; however it did not prevent sustained depolymerization of F-actin. Analyses of phospholipids performed in parallel revealed that mastoparan stimulated rapid formation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) and consumption of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Pertussis toxin treatment blocked mastoparan-induced formation of PIP3. Furthermore, mastoparan stimulated the release of N-acetylglucosaminidase from primary granules. Cytochalasin B enhanced mastoparan-stimulated secretion. Mastoparan triggered superoxide radical production in a cytochalasin B-sensitive manner and induced complement type 3 receptor (CR3) up-regulation.

Suppressive Action

Activation of exocytosis and respiratory burst in rabbit neutrophils by the chemotactic peptide fMet-Leu-Phe is inhibited by Co2+. Inhibition is antagonized by extracellular Ca2+ and is dependent on the time of preincubation of cells with Co2+ before addition of activator. Co2+ inhibits the enhancement of 45Ca association that occurs during activation with fMet-Leu-Phe. Interference with Ca2+ translocation across the plasma membrane by Co2+ is probably not the cause of inhibition of neutrophil activation, because activation in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ is inhibited by Co2+. Activation of neutrophils by phorbol myristate acetate is inhibited at higher Co2+ concentrations than activation by fMet-Leu-Phe. Inhibition of the superoxide production by Co2+ occurs both in the presence or in the absence of cytochalasin B. Fluorescence of neutrophils loaded with quin2 is diminished by Co2+, indicating that Co2+ had entered into the cytoplasm. The results are compatible with the view that Co2+ inhibits exocytosis and respiratory burst in neutrophils by an interaction with a Ca2+-dependent intracellular target.

Estrogen Receptor 1

Background: The role of estrogens in immune functioning is relatively well known under both physiological and pathological conditions. Neutrophils are the most abundant circulating leukocytes in humans, and their abundance and function are regulated by estrogens, since they express estrogen receptors (ERs). Traditionally, estrogens were thought to act via classical nuclear ERs, namely ERα and ERβ. However, it was observed that some estrogens induced biological effects only minutes after their application. This rapid, “nongenomic” effect of estrogens is mediated by a membrane-anchored receptor called G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1). Nevertheless, the expression and role of GPER1 in the immune system has not been exhaustively studied, and its relevance in neutrophil functions remains unknown. Methods: Human neutrophils were incubated in vitro with 10-100 µM of the GPER1-specific agonist G1 alone or in combination with lipopolysaccharide. GPER1 expression and subcellular localization, respiratory burst, life span, gene expression profile, and cell signaling pathways involved were then analyzed in stimulated neutrophils. Results: Human neutrophils express a functional GPER1 which regulates their functions through cAMP/protein kinase A/cAMP response element-binding protein, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and extracellular regulated MAPK signaling pathways. Thus, GPER1 activation in vitro increases the respiratory burst of neutrophils, extends their life span, and drastically alters their gene expression profile. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that GPER1 activation promotes the polarization of human neutrophils towards a proinflammatory phenotype and point to GPER1 as a potential therapeutic target in immune diseases where neutrophils play a key role.

Abstract Abstract 3206 Blockade of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), the receptor for aldosterone (ALDO), improves cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There is growing evidence for a critical role of ALDO in inflammation in addition to its well-described effects on sodium homeostasis. However, the role of ALDO on neutrophil activation is not entirely clear. We studied the role of ALDO on HL-60, a human promyelocytic cell line, induced to differentiate into neutrophil-like cells by incubation for 3 days with 1.3% DMSO. We detected the presence of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), the receptor for ALDO, by western blot analyses and MR transcript by quantitative RT-PCR using TaqMan detection probes in these cells. Cells incubated with ALDO (10−8-10−7 M) showed a dose-dependent rise in cytosolic Ca2+ that peaked within 3 min using FURA-2AM fluorescence; an event not observed when cells were incubated with 10−8 M dexamethasone (DEXA). Consistent with these results, incubation with 10−8 M ALDO led to increases in the oxidative-respiratory burst [superoxide production] (P<0.01, n=3); an event not observed when cells were incubated with either 10−8 or 10−7 M dexamethasone. The oxidative responses to ALDO were blunted by pre-incubation of cells with 1 uM canrenoic acid (CA), a well-described MR antagonist (P<0.03, n=3). We then studied the effect of ALDO on HL-60 transmigration and observed that 2 hr incubation at 37C with 10−8 M ALDO led to augmented migration (P<0.03, n=2) when compared to vehicle as estimated by CyQuant cell migration assays. We then isolated untouched circulating human neutrophils by immunomagnetic isolation following density gradient sedimentation with PolymorphPrep from otherwise healthy subjects. Flow cytometric analyses showed greater than 97% neutrophils as these cells were positive for CD45, CD16 and CD66b. Live/dead cell automated analyses shows greater than 90% cell viability by acridine orange and propidium iodide fluorescence. These cells likewise express MR as determined by western blot analyses for MR as reported in kidney and endothelial cells. Cells incubated with ALDO (10−8 M) showed a rise in cytosolic Ca2+ and an increase in the oxidative-respiratory burst (P<0.01, n=3); a response that was sensitive to 1 uM CA. We also observed that 4 hr 10−9M ALDO incubation led to augmented neutrophil transmigration (P<0.03, n=2). Thus our results suggest that activation of MR by ALDO leads to neutrophil activation that may contribute to the inflammatory responses associated with MR activation in vivo. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
