A temporal increase in temperature triggers a series of stress responses and alters vascular smooth muscle (VSM) contraction induced by agonist stimulation. Here we examined the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in heat shock-dependent augmentation of angiotensin II (AngII)-induced VSM contraction. Endothelium-denuded rat aortic rings were treated with heat shock for 45 min at 42 °C and then subjected to assays for the production of force, ROS, and the expression of ROS-related enzymes. AngII-induced contraction was enhanced in heat shock-treated aorta. AngII-induced production of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide were elevated in response to the heat shock treatment. Pre-treatment with superoxide dismutases (SOD) mimetic and inhibitors for glutathione peroxidase and NADPH oxidase but not for xanthine oxidase eliminated an increase in the AngII-induced contraction in the heat shock-treated aorta. Heat shock increased the expression of p47phox, a cytosolic subunit of NADPH oxidase, but not Cu-Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD. In addition, heat shock increased contraction that was evoked by hydrogen peroxide and pyrogallol. These results suggest that heat shock causes an elevation of ROS as well as a sensitization of ROS signal resulting in an augmentation of VSM contraction in response to agonist. 相似文献

Human polymorphonuclear neutrophils play a key role in host defenses against invading microorganisms. In response to a variety of stimuli, neutrophils release large quantities of superoxide anion (O2.-) in a phenomenon known as the respiratory burst. O2.- is the precursor of potent oxidants, which are essential for bacterial killing and also potentiate inflammatory reactions. Regulation of this production is therefore critical to kill pathogens without inducing tissue injury. Neutrophil production of O2.- is dependent on the respiratory burst oxidase, or NADPH oxidase, a multicomponent enzyme system that catalyzes NADPH-dependent reduction of oxygen to O2.-. NADPH oxidase is activated and regulated by various neutrophil stimuli at infectious or inflammatory sites. Proinflammatory cytokines such as GM-CSF, TNF and IL-8 modulate NADPH oxidase activity through a priming phenomenon. These cytokines induce a very weak oxidative response by PMN but strongly enhance neutrophil release of reactive oxygen species on exposure to a secondary applied stimulus such as bacterial N-formyl peptides. Priming phenomena are involved in normal innate immune defense and in some inflammatory diseases. The mechanisms underlying the priming process are poorly understood, although some studies have suggested that priming with various agonists is regulated at the receptor and post-receptor levels. Resolution of inflammation involves desensitization phenomena and cytokines are involved in this process by various mechanisms. A better understanding of phenomena involved in the regulation of NADPH oxidase could help to develop novel therapeutic agents for inflammatory diseases involving abnormal neutrophil superoxide production. 相似文献

The present study evaluates electron spin resonance (ESR) and the spin trapper 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DEPMPO) for analysis of superoxide radical production by human neutrophils interacting with viable Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria. To avoid auto-activation due to interaction with glass surfaces, neutrophils were preincubated in plastic tubes until the peak response was reached, and then transferred to a quartz flat cell to record the ESR spectra. The time point for peak response was identified by parallel analysis of the bacteria–neutrophil interaction using luminol amplified chemiluminescence. We found detectable ESR spectra from neutrophils interacting with as few as five bacteria of the weak activating S. epidermidis per neutrophil. Addition of the NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenylene iodonium totally abolished spectra. Catalase, DMSO or an iron chelator had no impact on the produced spectra and ionomycin, a selective activator of intracellular NADPH oxidase, gave significant ESR spectra. Taken together, our results indicate that DEPMPO is cell permeable and detects NADPH oxidase derived superoxide anions formed in phagosomes or released by human neutrophils phagocytosing viable S. aureus and S. epidermidis. The technique may be used as a sensitive tool to evaluate superoxide anion production in human neutrophils. 相似文献

Rac2 is an essential regulator of neutrophil nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase activation in response to specific signaling pathways 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Rac2 is a hematopoietic-specific Rho family GTPase implicated as an important constituent of the NADPH oxidase complex and shares 92% amino acid identity with the ubiquitously expressed Rac1. In bone marrow (BM) neutrophils isolated from rac2(-/-) mice generated by gene targeting, we previously reported that PMA-induced superoxide production was reduced by about 4-fold, which was partially corrected in TNF-alpha-primed BM neutrophils and in peritoneal exudate neutrophils. We investigated receptor-mediated activation of the NADPH oxidase in the current study, finding that superoxide production in rac2(-/-) BM and peritoneal exudate neutrophils was normal in response to opsonized zymosan, reduced to 22% of wild type in response to IgG-coated SRBC, and almost absent in response to fMLP. In wild-type murine BM neutrophils, phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and Akt was induced by PMA or fMLP, which was decreased in rac2(-/-) neutrophils for ERK1/2 and p38. Activation of p38 by either opsonized zymosan or IgG-coated SRBC was similar in wild-type and rac2(-/-) cells. Inhibition of ERK1/2 or p38 activation using either PD98059 or SB203580, respectively, had only a modest effect on fMLP-elicited superoxide production and no effect on the PMA-induced response. These data provide genetic evidence supporting an important role for Rac2 in regulating neutrophil NADPH oxidase activation downstream of chemoattractant and Fcgamma receptors. The effect of Rac2 deficiency on superoxide production is probably exerted through multiple pathways, including those independent of mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. 相似文献

Resolution of inflammation requires clearance of activated neutrophils by phagocytes in a manner that protects adjacent tissues from injury. Mechanisms governing apoptosis and clearance of activated neutrophils from inflamed areas are still poorly understood. We used dimethylsulfoxide-differentiated HL-60 cells showing inducible oxidase activity to study NADPH oxidase-induced apoptosis pathways typical of neutrophils. Activation of the NADPH oxidase by phorbol myristate acetate caused oxidative stress as shown by production of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, depletion of intracellular glutathione, and peroxidation of all three major classes of membrane phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylserine. In addition, phorbol myristate acetate stimulation of the NADPH oxidase caused apoptosis, as evidenced by apoptosis-specific phosphatidylserine externalization, increased caspase-3 activity, chromatin condensation, and nuclear fragmentation. Furthermore, phorbol myristate acetate stimulation of the NADPH oxidase caused recognition and ingestion of dimethylsulfoxide-differentiated HL-60 cells by J774A.1 macrophages. To reveal the apoptosis-related component of oxidative stress in the phorbol myristate acetate-induced response, we pretreated cells with a pancaspase inhibitor, benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethyl ketone (z-VAD-fmk), and found that it caused partial inhibition of hydrogen peroxide formation as well as selective protection of only phosphatidylserine, whereas more abundant phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, were oxidized to the same extent in the absence or presence of z-VAD-fmk. In contrast, inhibitors of NADPH oxidase activity, diphenylene iodonium and staurosporine, as well as antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase/catalase, completely protected all phospholipids against peroxidation, inhibited expression of apoptotic biomarkers and externalization of phosphatidylserine, and reduced phagocytosis of differentiated HL-60 cells by J774A.1 macrophages. Similarly, zymosan-induced activation of the NADPH oxidase resulted in the production of superoxide and oxidation of different classes of phospholipids of which only phosphatidylserine was protected by z-VAD-fmk. Accordingly, zymosan caused apoptosis in differentiated HL-60 cells, as evidenced by caspase-3 activation and phosphatidylserine externalization. Finally, zymosan triggered caspase-3 activation and extensive SOD/catalase-inhibitable phosphatidylserine exposure in human neutrophils. Overall, our results indicate that NADPH oxidase-induced oxidative stress in neutrophil-like cells triggers apoptosis and subsequent recognition and removal of these cells through pathways dependent on oxidation and externalization of phosphatidylserine. 相似文献

In the present study, we have examined the potential ability of 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) to modulate NADPH oxidase activity in human neutrophils. AMPK activated with either 5'-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR) or with 5'-AMP significantly attenuated both phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and formyl methionyl leucyl phenylalanine-stimulated superoxide anion O2- release by human neutrophils, consistently with a reduced translocation to the cell membrane and phosphorylation of a cytosolic component of NADPH oxidase, namely p47phox. AMPK was found to be present in human neutrophils and to become phosphorylated in response to either AICAR or other stimulators of its enzyme activity. Furthermore, AICAR also strongly reduced PMA-dependent H2O2 release, and induced the phosphorylation of c-jun N-terminal kinase 1 (p46), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase. Present data demonstrate for the first time that the activation of AMPK, in states of low cellular energy charge (such as under high levels of 5'-AMP) or other signals, could be a factor contributing to reduce the host defense mechanisms. 相似文献

In guinea pig periotoneal neutrophils NaF at a concentration of above 5 mM elicited a dose-dependent, delayed and sustained activation of NADPH oxidase. Unlike in human neutrophils, in guinea pig cells, this response was independent of extracellular calcium. Fura2 fluorescence measurements indicated also a fluoride-mediated moderate elevation in the level of cytosolic calcium concentration. Pretreatment of neutrophils with pertussis toxin, blocked fluoride-promoted activation of NADPH oxidase, indicating that NaF stimulation was mediated by a G protein which is a pertussis toxin substrate. NaF-elicited calcium elevation was insensitive to the toxin. Upon transfer of NaF-stimulated cells to a fluoride-free medium, superoxide release declined and calcium levels diminished. The response of the deactivated, fluoride-prestimulated guinea pig neutrophils to a secondary stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or fMet-Leu-Phe, was either unaffected by the previous challenge with NaF (PMA) or augmented by it (the chemotactic peptide). In parallel to the activation of NADPH oxidase, NaF also induced translocation of protein kinase C to cell membranes. This effect was also abolished by a pretreatment with pertussis toxin. 相似文献

Guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) transduce a remarkably diverse group of extracellular signals to a relatively limited number of intracellular target enzymes. In the neutrophil, transduction of the signal following fMet-Leu-Phe receptor-ligand interaction is mediated by a pertussis toxin substrate (Gi) that activates inositol-specific phospholipase C. We have utilized a plasma membrane-containing fraction from unstimulated human neutrophils as the target enzyme to explore the role of G proteins in arachidonate and cytosolic cofactor-dependent activation of the NADPH-dependent O-2-generating oxidase. When certain guanine nucleotides or their nonhydrolyzable analogues were present during arachidonate and cytosolic cofactor-dependent activation, they exerted substantial dose-dependent effects. The GTP analogue, GTP gamma S, caused a 2-fold increase in NADPH oxidase activation (half-maximal stimulation, 1.1 microM). Either GDP or its nonhydrolyzable analogue, GDP beta S, inhibited up to 80% of the basal NADPH oxidase activation (Ki GDP = 0.12 mM, GDP beta S = 0.23 mM). GTP caused only slight and variable stimulation, whereas F-, an agent known to promote the active conformation of G proteins, caused a 1.6-fold stimulation of NADPH oxidase activation. NADPH oxidase activation in the cell-free system was absolutely and specifically dependent on Mg2+. Although O2- production in response to fMet-Leu-Phe was inhibited greater than 90% in neutrophils pretreated with pertussis toxin, cytosolic cofactor and target oxidase membranes from neutrophils treated with pertussis toxin showed no change in basal- or GTP gamma S-stimulated NADPH oxidase activation. Cholera toxin treatment of neutrophils also had no effect on the cell-free activation system. Our results suggest a role for a G protein that is distinct from Gs or Gi in the arachidonate and cytosolic cofactor-dependent NADPH oxidase cell-free activation system. 相似文献

Fluorescence photobleaching recovery was employed to investigate the relationship between the activation of neutrophil NADPH oxidase and lateral mobility of membrane proteins. Treatment of neutrophils with the crosslinking reagent disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) blocked activation of the respiratory burst without affecting the lateral motion of concanavalin A receptors. Neutrophils treated with DSS after prestimulation with concanavalin A generated superoxide in response to another stimulator, phorbol myristate acetate, in spite of the lateral immobilization of concanavalin A receptors. The apparent lack of correlation between the activation of NADPH oxidase and the lateral motion of membrane proteins is discussed. 相似文献

Neonatal brain hypoxia-ischemia (HI) results in neuronal cell death. Previous studies indicate that reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide, play a key role in this process. However, the cellular sources have not been established. In this study we examine the role of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex in neonatal HI brain injury and elucidate its mechanism of activation. Rat hippocampal slices were exposed to oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) to mimic the conditions seen in HI. Initial studies confirmed an important role for NADPH oxidase-derived superoxide in the oxidative stress associated with OGD. Further, the OGD-mediated increase in apoptotic cell death was inhibited by the NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin. The activation of NADPH oxidase was found to be dependent on the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase-mediated phosphorylation and activation of the p47(phox) subunit. Using an adeno-associated virus antisense construct to selectively decrease p47(phox) expression in neurons showed that this led to inhibition of both the increase in superoxide and the neuronal cell death associated with OGD. We also found that NADPH oxidase inhibition in a neonatal rat model of HI or scavenging hydrogen peroxide reduced brain injury. Thus, we conclude that activation of the NADPH oxidase complex contributes to the oxidative stress during HI and that therapies targeted against this complex could provide neuroprotection against the brain injury associated with neonatal HI. 相似文献

In addition to ultraviolet radiation, human skin is also exposed to infrared radiation (IR) from natural sunlight. IR typically increases the skin temperature. This study examined whether or not heat shock-induced ROS stimulates MMPs in keratinocyte HaCaT cells. In HaCaT cells, heat shock was found to increase the intracellular ROS levels, including hydrogen peroxide and superoxide. The heat shock treatment induced MMP-1 and MMP-9, but not MMP-2, at the mRNA and protein levels. Moreover, heat shock caused the rapid activation of the three distinct MAPKs, ERK, JNK, and p38 kinase. The heat shock-induced expression of MMP-1 and MMP-9 was significantly suppressed by a pretreatment with the antioxidant NAC or catalase. On the other hand, SOD inhibited heat shock-induced activity of MMP-9 induction, but not MMP-1. A pretreatment with NAC or catalase, but not SOD, attenuated the phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38 kinase by heat shock. The potential sites of ROS generation by heat shock along with its role in the heat shock-induced expression of MMP-1 and MMP-9 were next analyzed. These results indicate that heat shock-induced ROS is promoted via NADPH oxidase, xanthine oxidase, and mitochondria. Indeed, the NADPH oxidase and xanthine oxidase activities were increased by heat shock. Overall, the ROS produced by heat shock may play an important role in the heat shock-induced activation of MAPKs, which can induce MMP-1 and-9 expressions. 相似文献

Neutrophils provide the first line of defense against microbial invasion in part through production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which is mediated through activation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase generating superoxide anion (O2-). The phagocyte oxidase (phox) has multiple protein components that assemble on the plasma membrane in stimulated neutrophils. We recently described a protein in neutrophils, peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6), which has both peroxidase and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activities and enhances oxidase activity in an SDS-activated, cell-free system. The function of Prdx6 in phox activity is further investigated. In reconstituted phox-competent K562 cells, siRNA-mediated suppression of Prdx6 resulted in decreased NADPH oxidase activity in response to formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). In neutrophils stimulated with PMA, Prdx6 translocated to plasma membrane as demonstrated by Western blot and confocal microscopy. Translocation of Prdx6 in phox competent K562 cells required both p67phox and p47phox. In addition, plasma membrane from PMA-stimulated, oxidase competent K562 cells with siRNA-mediated Prdx6 suppression contained less p47phox and p67phox compared to cells in which Prdx6 was not decreased. Cell-free oxidase assays showed that recombinant Prdx6 did not alter the Km for NADPH, but increased the Vmax for O2- production in a saturable, Prdx6 concentration-dependent manner. Recombinant proteins with mutations in Prdx (C47S) and phospholipase (S32A) activity both enhanced cell-free phox activity to the same extent as wild type protein. Prdx6 supports retention of the active oxidase complex in stimulated plasma membrane, and results with mutant proteins imply that Prdx6 serves an additional biochemical or structural role in supporting optimal NADPH oxidase activity. 相似文献

In activated neutrophils NADPH oxidase is regulated through various signaling intermediates, including heterotrimeric G proteins, kinases, GTPases, and phospholipases. ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) describes a family of GTPases associated with phospholipase D (PLD) activation. PLD is implicated in NADPH oxidase activation, although it is unclear whether activation of PLD by ARF is linked to receptor-mediated oxidase activation. We explored whether ARF participates in NADPH oxidase activation by formyl-methionine-leucine-phenylalanine (fMLP) and whether this involves PLD. Using multicolor forward angle light scattering analyses to measure superoxide production in differentiated neutrophil-like PLB-985 cells, we tested enhanced green fluorescent fusion proteins of wild-type ARF1 or ARF6, or their mutant counterparts. The ARF6(Q67L) mutant defective in GTP hydrolysis caused increased superoxide production, whereas the ARF6(T27N) mutant defective in GTP binding caused diminished responses to fMLP. The ARF1 mutants had no effect on fMLP responses, and none of the ARF proteins affected phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-elicited oxidase activity. PLD inhibitors 1-butanol and 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate, or the ARF6(N48R) mutant assumed to be defective in PLD activation, blocked fMLP-elicited oxidase activity in transfected cells. The data suggest that ARF6 but not ARF1 modulates receptor-mediated NADPH oxidase activation in a PLD-dependent mechanism. Because PMA-elicited NADPH oxidase activation also appears to be PLD-dependent, but ARF-independent, ARF6 and protein kinase C may act through distinct pathways, both involving PLD. 相似文献

Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium. B. anthracis virulence is ascribed mainly to a secreted tripartite AB-type toxin composed of three proteins designated protective Ag (PA), lethal factor, and edema factor. PA assembles with the enzymatic portions of the toxin, the metalloprotease lethal factor, and/or the adenylate cyclase edema factor, to generate lethal toxin (LTx) and edema toxin (ETx), respectively. These toxins enter cells through the interaction of PA with specific cell surface receptors. The anthrax toxins act to suppress innate immune responses and, given the importance of human neutrophils in innate immunity, they are likely relevant targets of the anthrax toxin. We have investigated in detail the effects of B. anthracis toxin on superoxide production by primary human neutrophils. Both LTx and ETx exhibit distinct inhibitory effects on fMLP (and C5a) receptor-mediated superoxide production, but have no effect on PMA nonreceptor-dependent superoxide production. These inhibitory effects cannot be accounted for by induction of neutrophil death, or by changes in stimulatory receptor levels. Analysis of NADPH oxidase regulation using whole cell and cell-free systems suggests that the toxins do not exert direct effects on NADPH oxidase components, but rather act via their respective effects, inhibition of MAPK signaling (LTx), and elevation of intracellular cAMP (ETx), to inhibit upstream signaling components mediating NADPH oxidase assembly and/or activation. Our results demonstrate that anthrax toxins effectively suppress human neutrophil-mediated innate immunity by inhibiting their ability to generate superoxide for bacterial killing. 相似文献

Several soluble mediators, including endotoxin, prime neutrophils for an enhanced respiratory burst in response to subsequent stimulation. Priming of neutrophils occurs in vitro, and primed neutrophils are found in vivo. We previously localized the anion transporter ClC-3 to polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) secretory vesicles and demonstrated that it is required for normal NADPH oxidase activation in response to both particulate and soluble stimuli. We now explore the contribution of the NADPH oxidase and ClC-3 to endotoxin-mediated priming. Lipooligosaccharide (LOS) from Neisseria meningitidis enhances the respiratory burst in response to formyl-Met-Leu-Phe, an effect that was impaired in PMNs lacking functional ClC-3 and under anaerobic conditions. Mobilization of receptors to the cell surface and phosphorylation of p38 MAPK by LOS were both impaired in PMN with the NADPH oxidase chemically inhibited or genetically absent and in cells lacking functional ClC-3. Furthermore, inhibition of the NADPH oxidase or ClC-3 in otherwise unstimulated cells elicited a phenotype similar to that seen after endotoxin priming, suggesting that basal oxidant production helps to maintain cellular quiescence. In summary, NADPH oxidase activation was required for LOS-mediated priming, but basal oxidants kept unstimulated cells from becoming primed. ClC-3 contributes to both of these processes. 相似文献

Novel insight into current models of NADPH oxidase regulation, assembly and localization in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We review herein the definition of the NADPH oxidase-activating site in human neutrophils and eosinophils, together with the new biochemical findings of the assembly of NADPH oxidase components and the signal transduction for the activation of NADPH oxidase. The activation of this enzyme is associated with multiple interrelated signaling pathways. Upon cell stimulation, the second messengers act on the assembly of NADPH oxidase components. The cytosolic components are first phosphorylated, and then associated with the membrane components. Small GTP-binding proteins and cytoskeletal components also participate in the activation of the NADPH oxidase. The cytochemical findings demonstrate that the superoxide generated by NADPH oxidase activity is initially localized in distinct types of intracellular granules, and not at the plasma membrane as previously believed. Thus, the assembly of NADPH oxidase components possibly occurs at the limiting membrane of the intracellular compartments. The oxidant-producing compartments mobilize and become associated with the plasma membrane upon cell stimulation with soluble stimulants, or fuse to phagosomes upon stimulation with particulate stimulants. Accordingly, superoxide is released to the extracellular space and into phagosomes in proportion to the oxidant-producing intracellular granule association with the plasma membrane and with the phagosomal membrane, respectively. 相似文献

Human neutrophils represent the predominant leucocyte in circulation and the first responder to infection. Concurrent with ingestion of microorganisms, neutrophils activate and assemble the NADPH oxidase at the phagosome, thereby generating superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide. Concomitantly, granules release their contents into the phagosome, where the antimicrobial proteins and enzymes synergize with oxidants to create an environment toxic to the captured microbe. The most rapid and complete antimicrobial action by human neutrophils against many organisms relies on the combined efforts of the azurophilic granule protein myeloperoxidase and hydrogen peroxide from the NADPH oxidase to oxidize chloride, thereby generating hypochlorous acid and a host of downstream reaction products. Although individual components of the neutrophil antimicrobial response exhibit specific activities in isolation, the situation in the environment of the phagosome is far more complicated, a consequence of multiple and complex interactions among oxidants, proteins and their by‐products. In most cases, the cooperative interactions among the phagosomal contents, both from the host and the microbe, culminate in loss of viability of the ingested organism. 相似文献

Phagocytes generate reactive oxygen species, the regulation of which is important in eliminating ingested microbes while limiting tissue damage. Clustering of FcgammaRs results in the activation of Vav proteins, Rho/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factors, and results in robust superoxide generation through the NADPH oxidase. In this study, studies in neutrophils isolated from mice deficient in Vav or Rac isoforms demonstrate a critical role for Vav3 in Rac2-dependent activation of the NADPH oxidase following FcgammaR clustering. However, studies in cytokine-primed cells revealed a strict requirement for Vav1 and Vav3 and Rac1 and Rac2 in the FcgammaR-mediated oxidative burst. In comparison, Vav was not essential for PMA or G protein-coupled receptor-mediated superoxide generation. The FcgammaR-mediated oxidative burst defect in Vav-deficient cells was linked to aberrant Rac activation as well as Rac- and actin-polymerization-independent, but PI3K-dependent, phosphorylation of the NADPH oxidase component p40(phox). In macrophages, Vav regulation of Rac GTPases was required specifically in FcgammaR-mediated activation of the oxidative burst, but not in phagocytosis. Thus, Vav proteins specifically couple FcgammaR signaling to NADPH oxidase function through a Rac-dependent as well as an unexpected Rac-independent signal that is proximal to NADPH oxidase activation and does not require actin polymerization. 相似文献
