The endogenous opioid spinorphin blocks fMet-Leu-Phe-induced neutrophil chemotaxis by acting as a specific antagonist at the N-formylpeptide receptor subtype FPR.

Spinorphin is an endogenous heptapeptide (leucylvalylvalyltyrosylprolyltryptophylthreonine), first isolated from bovine spinal cord, whose sequence matches a conserved region of beta-hemoglobin. Also referred to as LVV-hemorphin-4 and a member of the nonclassical opioid hemorphin family, spinorphin inhibits enkephalin-degrading enzymes and is analgesic. Recently, spinorphin was reported to block neutrophil activation induced by the chemotactic N-formylpeptide N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (fMLF), suggesting a potential role as an endogenous negative regulator of inflammation. Here we use both gain- and loss-of-function genetic tests to identify the specific mechanism of spinorphin action on neutrophils. Spinorphin induced calcium flux in normal mouse neutrophils, but was inactive in neutrophils from mice genetically deficient in the fMLF receptor subtype FPR (N-formylpeptide receptor). Consistent with this, spinorphin induced calcium flux in human embryonic kidney 293 cells transfected with mouse FPR, but had no effect on cells expressing the closely related fMLF receptor subtype FPR2. Despite acting as a calcium-mobilizing agonist at FPR, spinorphin was a weak chemotactic agonist and effectively blocked neutrophil chemotaxis induced by fMLF at concentrations selective for FPR. Spinorphin did not affect mouse neutrophil chemotaxis induced by concentrations of fMLF that selectively activate FPR2. Thus, spinorphin blocks fMLF-induced neutrophil chemotaxis by acting as a specific antagonist at the fMLF receptor subtype FPR.     

The HIV-1 cell entry inhibitor T-20 potently chemoattracts neutrophils by specifically activating the N-formylpeptide receptor

T-20, a synthetic peptide corresponding to the heptad repeat sequence of HIV-1 gp41, blocks HIV-1 entry by targeting gp41, and is currently in clinical trials as an anti-retroviral agent. We recently reported that in vitro T-20 also functions as a phagocyte chemoattractant and a chemotactic agonist at the phagocyte N-formylpeptide receptor (FPR). Here we show that T-20 is also a potent chemotactic agonist in vitro at a related human phagocyte receptor FPRL1R. To test the relative importance of FPR and FPRL1R in primary cells, we identified the corresponding mouse T-20 receptors, mFPR and FPR2, which are both expressed in neutrophils, and compared T-20 action on neutrophils from wild type and mFPR knockout mice. Surprisingly, although T-20 activates mFPR and FPR2 in transfected cells with equal potency and efficacy in both calcium flux and chemotaxis assays, neutrophils from mFPR knockout mice did not respond to T-20. These results provide genetic evidence that FPR is the major phagocyte T-20 receptor in vivo and point to the potential feasibility of studying T-20 effects on immunity in a mouse model. This may help define the cause of local inflammation after T-20 injection that has recently been reported in Phase I clinical trials.     

Biologically active peptides interacting with the G protein-coupled formylpeptide receptor

Leucocytes accumulate at sites of inflammation and microbial infection in response to locally produced chemotactic factors. N-formylpeptides produced by Gram negative bacteria were among the first chemotactic factors structurally defined which signal through G protein-coupled formylpeptide receptor (FPR) and FPR-like 1 (FPRL1) expressed by phagocytic leukocytes in human and in mouse homogogues mFPR and mFPR2. During the past few years, a number of pathogen- and host-derived agonists/antagonists for FPR, FPRL1 and another FPR variant FPR-like 2 (FPRL2) have been identified. Activation of formylpeptide receptors (FPRs) in phagocytic leukocytes by agonists results in increased cell chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and release of pro-inflammatory mediators. Peptide agonists for FPRs have also been shown to possess immune adjuvant activity when injected in mice. In addition, FPR aberrantly expressed on highly malignant human glioblastoma cells promotes tumor cell migration, proliferation and production of vascular endothelial growth factor in response to agonists released by necrotic tumor cells. Therefore, formylpeptide receptor ligands, by interacting with FPRs, play important roles in host defense and in the rapid progression of human glioblastoma.     

The anti-infective peptide, innate defense-regulator peptide, stimulates neutrophil chemotaxis via a formyl peptide receptor

The anti-infective peptide, innate defense-regulator peptide (IDR-1), has been selectively reported to modulate the innate immune response. We found that IDR-1 stimulates the chemotactic migration in human neutrophils. Moreover, IDR-1-induced neutrophil chemotaxis was completely blocked by pertussis toxin, suggesting the importance of the G_i protein in this process. The mechanism governing the IDR-1-induced neutrophil chemotaxis was found to be completely inhibited by the formyl peptide receptor (FPR) antagonist; cyclosporin H. IDR-1 was also found to induce chemotactic migration in FPR but not in vector-expressing HCT116 cells. Meanwhile, IDR-1 failed to stimulate superoxide anion generation and intracellular calcium increase in human neutrophils. Furthermore, IDR-1 was found to inhibit fMLF (an FPR agonist)-induced superoxide generation and calcium signaling in human neutrophils and FPR-expressing HCT116 cells. Taken together, the results demonstrate that IDR-1 is a partial agonist for FPR and further, stimulates neutrophil chemotaxis without inducing calcium signaling and superoxide generation.     

F2L, a peptide derived from heme-binding protein, chemoattracts mouse neutrophils by specifically activating Fpr2, the low-affinity N-formylpeptide receptor

F2L (formylpeptide receptor (FPR)-like (FPRL)-2 ligand), a highly conserved acetylated peptide derived from the amino-terminal cleavage of heme-binding protein, is a potent chemoattractant for human monocytes and dendritic cells, and inhibits LPS-induced human dendritic cell maturation. We recently reported that F2L is able to activate the human receptors FPRL-1 and FPRL2, two members of the FPR family, with highest selectivity and affinity for FPRL2. To facilitate delineation of mechanisms of F2L action in vivo, we have now attempted to define its mouse receptors. This is complicated by the nonequivalence of the human and mouse FPR gene families (three vs at least eight members, respectively). When cell lines were transfected with plasmids encoding the eight mouse receptors, only the one expressing the receptor Fpr2 responded to F2L (EC(50) approximately 400 nM for both human and mouse F2L in both calcium flux and cAMP inhibition assays). This value is similar to F2L potency at human FPRL1. Consistent with this, mouse neutrophils, which like macrophages and dendritic cells express Fpr2, responded to human and mouse F2L in both calcium flux and chemotaxis assays with EC(50) values similar to those found for Fpr2-expressing cell lines ( approximately 500 nM). Moreover, neutrophils from mice genetically deficient in Fpr2 failed to respond to F2L. Thus, Fpr2 is a mouse receptor for F2L, and can be targeted for the study of F2L action in mouse models.     

A new staphylococcal anti-inflammatory protein that antagonizes the formyl peptide receptor-like 1

Bacteria have developed mechanisms to escape the first line of host defense, which is constituted by the recruitment of phagocytes to the sites of bacterial invasion. We previously described the chemotaxis inhibitory protein of Staphylococcus aureus, a protein that blocks the activation of neutrophils via the formyl peptide receptor (FPR) and C5aR. We now describe a new protein from S. aureus that impaired the neutrophil responses to FPR-like1 (FPRL1) agonists. FPRL1 inhibitory protein (FLIPr) inhibited the calcium mobilization in neutrophils stimulated with MMK-1, WKYMVM, prion-protein fragment PrP(106-126), and amyloid beta(1-42). Stimulation with low concentrations of fMLP was partly inhibited. Directed migration was also completely prevented toward MMK-1 and partly toward fMLP. Fluorescence-labeled FLIPr efficiently bound to neutrophils, monocytes, B cells, and NK cells. HEK293 cells transfected with human C5aR, FPR, FPRL1, and FPRL2 clearly showed that FLIPr directly bound to FPRL1 and, at higher concentrations, also to FPR but not to C5aR and FPRL2. FLIPr can reveal unknown inflammatory ligands crucial during S. aureus infections. As a novel described FPRL1 antagonist, it might lead to the development of therapeutic agents in FPRL1-mediated inflammatory components of diseases such as systemic amyloidosis, Alzheimer's, and prion disease.     

Identification of neutrophil granule protein cathepsin G as a novel chemotactic agonist for the G protein-coupled formyl peptide receptor

The antimicrobial and proinflammatory neutrophil granule protein cathepsin G (CaG) has been reported as a chemoattractant for human phagocytic leukocytes by using a putative G protein coupled receptor. In an effort to identify potential CaG receptor(s), we found that CaG-induced phagocyte migration was specifically attenuated by the bacterial chemotactic peptide fMLP, suggesting these two chemoattractants might share a receptor. In fact, CaG chemoattracts rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL cells) expressing the high affinity human fMLP receptor FPR, but not parental RBL cells or cells transfected with other chemoattractant receptors. In addition, a specific FPR Ab and a defined FPR antagonist, cyclosporin H, abolished the chemotactic response of phagocytes and FPR-transfected cells to CaG. Furthermore, CaG down-regulated the cell surface expression of FPR in association with receptor internalization. Unlike fMLP, CaG did not induce potent Ca(2+) flux and was a relatively weaker activator of MAPKs through FPR. Yet CaG activated an atypical protein kinase C isozyme, protein kinase Czeta, which was essential for FPR to mediate the chemotactic activity of CaG. Thus, our studies identify CaG as a novel, host-derived chemotactic agonist for FPR and expand the functional scope of this receptor in inflammatory and immune responses.     

Utilization of two seven-transmembrane, G protein-coupled receptors, formyl peptide receptor-like 1 and formyl peptide receptor, by the synthetic hexapeptide WKYMVm for human phagocyte activation

Trp-Lys-Tyr-Val-D-Met (WKYMVm) is a synthetic leukocyte-activating peptide postulated to use seven-transmembrane, G protein-coupled receptor(s). In the study to characterize the receptor(s) for WKYMVm, we found that this peptide induced marked chemotaxis and calcium flux in human phagocytes. The signaling induced by WKYMVm in phagocytes was attenuated by high concentrations of the bacterial chemotactic peptide fMLP, suggesting that WKYMVm might use receptor(s) for fMLP. This hypothesis was tested by using cells over expressing genes encoding two seven-transmembrane receptors, formyl peptide receptor (FPR) and formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1), which are with high and low affinity for fMLP, respectively. Both FPR- and FPRL1-expressing cells mobilized calcium in response to picomolar concentrations of WKYMVm. While FPRL1-expressing cells migrated to picomolar concentrations of WKYMVm, nanomolar concentrations of the peptide were required to induce migration of FPR-expressing cells. In contrast, fMLP elicited both calcium flux and chemotaxis only in FPR-expressing cells with an efficacy comparable with WKYMVm. Thus, WKYMVm uses both FPR and FPRL1 to stimulate phagocytes with a markedly higher efficacy for FPRL1. Our study suggests that FPR and FPRL1 in phagocytes react to a broad spectrum of agonists and WKYMVm as a remarkably potent agonist provides a valuable tool for studying leukocyte signaling via these receptors.     

Mouse cathelin-related antimicrobial peptide chemoattracts leukocytes using formyl peptide receptor-like 1/mouse formyl peptide receptor-like 2 as the receptor and acts as an immune adjuvant

Mammalian antimicrobial proteins, such as defensins and cathelicidin, have stimulating effects on host leukocytes. Cathelin-related antimicrobial peptide (CRAMP), the orthologue of human cathelicidin/LL-37, is the sole identified murine cathelicidin. CRAMP has been shown to have both antimicrobial and angiogenic activities. However, whether CRAMP, like human cathelicidin/LL-37, also exhibits a direct effect on the migration and function of leukocytes is not known. We have observed that CRAMP, like LL-37, was chemotactic for human monocytes, neutrophils, macrophages, and mouse peripheral blood leukocytes. CRAMP also induced calcium mobilization and the activation of MAPK in monocytes. CRAMP-induced calcium flux in monocytes was desensitized by MMK-1, an agonistic ligand specific for formyl peptide receptor-like-1 (FPRL1), and vice versa, suggesting the use of FPRL1 by CRAMP as a receptor. Furthermore, CRAMP induced the chemotaxis of human embryonic kidney 293 cells transfected with either FPRL1 or mouse formyl peptide receptor-2, the mouse homologue of FPRL1, but not by untransfected parental human embryonic kidney 293 cells, confirming the use of FPRL1/mouse formyl peptide receptor-2 by CRAMP. Injection of CRAMP into mouse air pouches resulted in the recruitment predominantly of neutrophils and monocytes, indicating that CRAMP acts as a chemotactic factor in vivo. Finally, simultaneous administration of OVA with CRAMP to mice promoted both humoral and cellular Ag-specific immune responses. Thus, CRAMP functions as both a chemoattractant for phagocytic leukocytes and an enhancer of adaptive immune response.     

Temporin A and related frog antimicrobial peptides use formyl peptide receptor-like 1 as a receptor to chemoattract phagocytes

Many mammalian antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have multiple effects on antimicrobial immunity. We found that temporin A (TA), a representative frog-derived AMP, induced the migration of human monocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages with a bell-shaped response curve in a pertussis toxin-sensitive manner, activated p44/42 MAPK, and stimulated Ca(2+) flux in monocytes, suggesting that TA is capable of chemoattracting phagocytic leukocytes by the use of a G(ialpha) protein-coupled receptor. TA-induced Ca(2+) flux in monocytes was cross-desensitized by an agonistic ligand MMK-1 specific for formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1) and vice versa, suggesting that TA uses FPRL1 as a receptor. This conclusion was confirmed by data showing that TA selectively stimulated chemotaxis of HEK 293 cells transfected with human FPRL1 or its mouse ortholog, murine formyl peptide receptor 2. In addition, TA elicited the infiltration of neutrophils and monocytes into the injection site of mice, indicating that TA is also functionally chemotactic in vivo. Examination of two additional temporins revealed that Rana-6 was also able to attract human phagocytes using FPRL1, but temporin 1P selectively induced the migration of neutrophils using a distinct receptor. Comparison of the chemotactic and antimicrobial activities of several synthetic analogues suggested that these activities are likely to rely on different structural characteristics. Overall, the results demonstrate that certain frog-derived temporins have the capacity to chemoattract phagocytes by the use of human FPRL1 (or its orthologs in other species), providing the first evidence suggesting the potential participation of certain amphibian antimicrobial peptides in host antimicrobial immunity.     

Two C-terminal peptides of human CKLF1 interact with the chemokine receptor CCR4

Human chemokine-like factor 1 (CKLF1) exhibits chemotactic effects on leukocytes. A previous study demonstrated that CKLF1 is a functional ligand for human CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4). In this study, N-terminal amino acid sequencing of secreted CKLF1 protein showed that it contains at least two peptides, C27 and C19. To examine whether C27 or C19 play a role via CCR4, C27 and C19 were chemically synthesized and analyzed by chemotaxis, calcium mobilization, and receptor internalization assays in CCR4-tranfected HEK293 cells or Hut78 cells. The chemotaxis assay showed that C27 could induce chemotaxis to CCR4-transfected HEK293 cells or Hut78 cells while C19 had weaker chemotactic activity, especially in Hut78 cells. C27- or C19-induced chemotaxis was abolished by pertussis toxin, suggesting the involvement of a Gi/o pathway. C27- or C19-induced chemotaxis was also inhibited by an antagonist of CCR4 that show good binding potency, excellent chemotaxis inhibitory activity and selectivity toward CCR4, suggesting that their chemotactic activity specifically involved CCR4. The chemotactic response of CCR4-tranfected HEK293 cells to C27 or C19 was markedly inhibited by preincubation with TARC/CCL17. TARC/CCL17 effectively desensitized the calcium mobilization induced by C27 or C19. Similarly, both of C27 or C19 also desensitized the calcium mobilization and chemotaxis of CCR4-tranfected HEK293 cells in response to TARC/CCL17, suggesting that they might interact with a common receptor. Both C27- and C19-induced clear internalization of CCR4-EGFP. These results confirm that the secreted peptides of CKLF1, C27 and C19, have functional activation via CCR4.     

A formyl peptide substituted with a conformationally constrained phenylalanine residue evokes a selective immune response in human neutrophils

Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-OH (fMLP) binds to formyl peptide receptors, FPR1 and FPR2, and evokes migration and superoxide anion production in human neutrophils. To obtain a more effective and selective ligand, fMLP analogs in which the Phe residue was substituted with four isomers of cyclopropanephenylalanine were synthesized. While Z-isomer peptides induced both migration and superoxide anion production, E-isomer peptides elicited only chemotaxis. Homologous receptor desensitization experiments revealed that E-isomer peptides bound to FPR2. Although a selective agonist of chemotaxis also binds to FPR2 without increasing intracellular calcium concentration, E-isomer peptide elevated the concentration to the same level as fMLP. Understanding of mechanisms responsible for the selectivity of the reported selective agonists and ?Phe-substituted analogs should prove useful for revealing the relationship between receptor–ligand interactions and biological responses of human neutrophils.     

An annexin 1 N-terminal peptide activates leukocytes by triggering different members of the formyl peptide receptor family

The human N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR) is a key modulator of chemotaxis directing granulocytes toward sites of bacterial infections. FPR is the founding member of a subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors thought to function in inflammatory processes. The other two members, FPR-like (FPRL)1 and FPRL2, have a greatly reduced affinity for bacterial peptides or do not bind them at all, with FPRL2 being considered an orphan receptor so far. In this study we show that a peptide derived from the N-terminal domain of the anti-inflammatory protein annexin 1 (lipocortin 1) can activate all three FPR family members at similar concentrations. The annexin 1 peptide initiates chemotactic responses in human monocytes that express all three FPR family members and also desensitizes the cells toward subsequent stimulation with bacterial peptide agonists. Experiments using HEK 293 cells stably expressing a single FPR family member reveal that all three receptors can be activated and desensitized by the N-terminal annexin 1 peptide. These observations identify the annexin 1 peptide as the first endogenous ligand of FPRL2 and indicate that annexin 1 participates in regulating leukocyte emigration into inflamed tissue by activating and desensitizing different receptors of the FPR family.     

Identification of CXCR3 receptor agonists in combinatorial small-molecule libraries

In a high-throughput screen of four million compounds from combinatorial libraries for small-molecule modulators of the chemokine receptor CXCR3, two classes of receptor agonists, based on tetrahydroisoquinoline and piperidinyl diazepanone templates, were identified. Several of these compounds stimulated calcium flux in HEK293 cells expressing the recombinant human CXCR3 receptor with efficacies and kinetics similar to those of native ligand CXCL11/I-TAC and stimulated chemotaxis of activated human T-cells. The agonist small molecules also inhibited binding of another CXCR3 ligand, CXCL10/IP-10, to the receptor. The response to small-molecule agonists was inhibited by a CXCR3-specific small-molecule antagonist previously identified within the same combinatorial compound collection but structurally unrelated to the agonists. Remarkably, while other, non-amino acid substituents were present in the majority of the library compounds screened, the agonists from both classes contained a positively charged amino acid component, with preference for Arg>Lys, as well as a hydrophobic component.     

Chemotaxis and calcium responses of phagocytes to formyl peptide receptor ligands is differentially regulated by cyclic ADP ribose

Cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR) is a calcium-mobilizing metabolite that regulates intracellular calcium release and extracellular calcium influx. Although the role of cADPR in modulating calcium mobilization has been extensively examined, its potential role in regulating immunologic responses is less well understood. We previously reported that cADPR, produced by the ADP-ribosyl cyclase, CD38, controls calcium influx and chemotaxis of murine neutrophils responding to fMLF, a peptide agonist for two chemoattractant receptor subtypes, formyl peptide receptor and formyl peptide receptor-like 1. In this study, we examine whether cADPR is required for chemotaxis of human monocytes and neutrophils to a diverse array of chemoattractants. We found that a cADPR antagonist and a CD38 substrate analogue inhibited the chemotaxis of human phagocytic cells to a number of formyl peptide receptor-like 1-specific ligands but had no effect on the chemotactic response of these cells to ligands selective for formyl peptide receptor. In addition, we show that the cADPR antagonist blocks the chemotaxis of human monocytes to CXCR4, CCR1, and CCR5 ligands. In all cases, we found that cADPR modulates intracellular free calcium levels in cells activated by chemokines that induce extracellular calcium influx in the apparent absence of significant intracellular calcium release. Thus, cADPR regulates calcium signaling of a discrete subset of chemoattractant receptors expressed by human leukocytes. Since many of the chemoattractant receptors regulated by cADPR bind to ligands that are associated with clinical pathology, cADPR and CD38 represent novel drug targets with potential application in chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease.     

Trp-Arg-Trp-Trp-Trp-Trp antagonizes formyl peptide receptor like 2-mediated signaling

Although formyl peptide receptor like 2 (FPRL2) has been regarded as an important classical chemoattractant receptor, its functional role and signaling pathway have not been fully investigated, because of the lack of its specific ligand. Recently F2L, a heme-binding protein fragment peptide, has been reported as an FPRL2-selective endogenous agonist. In the present study, we examined the effect of Trp-Arg-Trp-Trp-Trp-Trp-CONH2 (WRWWWW, WRW4), on F2L-induced cell signaling. WRW4 inhibited the activation of FPRL2 by F2L, resulting in the complete inhibition of intracellular calcium increase and chemotactic migration induced by F2L. WRW4 also completely inhibited F2L-induced NF-kappaB activation in FPRL2-transfected HEK293 cells. WRW4 specifically inhibited F2L-induced intracellular calcium increase and chemotactic migration in mature monocyte-derived dendritic cells, which express FPRL2 but not the other FPR family. Taken together, WRW4 is the first FPRL2 antagonist and is expected to be useful in the study of FPRL2 signaling and in development of drugs against FPRL2-related cellular responses.     

Regulation of the Formyl Peptide Receptor 1 (FPR1) Gene in Primary Human Macrophages

The formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) is mainly expressed by mammalian phagocytic leukocytes and plays a role in chemotaxis, killing of microorganisms through phagocytosis, and the generation of reactive oxygen species. A large number of ligands have been identified triggering FPR1 including formylated and non-formylated peptides of microbial and endogenous origin. While the expression of FPR1 in neutrophils has been investigated intensively, knowledge on the regulation of FPR1 expression in polarized macrophages is lacking. In this study we show that primary human neutrophils, monocytes and resting macrophages do express the receptor on their cell surface. Polarization of macrophages with IFNγ, LPS and with the TLR8 ligand 3M-002 further increases FPR1 mRNA levels but does not consistently increase protein expression or chemotaxis towards the FPR1 ligand fMLF. In contrast, polarization of primary human macrophages with IL-4 and IL-13 leading to the alternative activated macrophages, reduces FPR1 cell surface expression and abolishes chemotaxis towards fMLF. These results show that M2 macrophages will not react to triggering of FPR1, limiting the role for FPR1 to chemotaxis and superoxide production of resting and pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages.     

The synthetic peptide Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-D-Met is a potent chemotactic agonist for mouse formyl peptide receptor

Formyl peptides are potent neutrophil chemoattractants. In humans and rabbits, the formyl peptide receptor (FPR) binds N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLF) with high affinity (K(d) approximately 1 nM). The mouse FPR (mFPR) is a low-affinity receptor for fMLF (K(d) approximately 100 nM); therefore, other agonists for this receptor may exist. Using mFPR-transfected rat basophilic leukemia cells, we found that a recently identified synthetic peptide Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-D-Met (WKYMVm) is a potent agonist for mFPR. WKYMVm induced calcium mobilization with an EC(50) of 1.2-1.5 nM. Optimal chemotaxis was achieved with 1 nM of WKYMVm, but it required 100 nM of fMLF. WKYMVm stimulated rapid and potent phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases extracellular signal-related kinases 1 and 2 when used at 50 nM. Pertussis toxin only partially blocked calcium mobilization and production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in the stimulated mFPR cells, suggesting the possibility that this receptor couples to Galpha proteins other than Gi and Go. Competitive binding and desensitization data suggest that both peptides interact with the same receptor but may use nonoverlapping binding sites because WKYMVm was unable to effectively displace [(3)H]fMLF bound to mFPR. These results provide evidence for the presence of an alternative potent agonist for mFPR, and suggest a potential usage of WKYMVm for probing the ligand-receptor interactions with the murine formyl peptide receptor homologs.
