The addition of the calcium ionophore A23187 to rabbit neutrophils increases the amount of actin associated with the cytoskeleton regardless of the presence or absence of calcium in the incubation medium. In the presence of extracellular calcium, the effect of A23187 is biphasic with respect to concentration. The action of the ionophore is rapid, transient, and is inhibited by pertussis toxin, hyperosmolarity, and quinacrine. On the other hand, the addition of pertussis toxin or hyperosmolarity has small if any, effect on the rise in intracellular calcium produced by A23187. While quinacrine does not affect the fMet-Leu-Phe-induced increase in cytoskeletal actin and the polyphosphoinositide turnover, its addition inhibits completely the stimulated increase in Ca-influx produced by the same stimulus. The results presented here suggest that a rise in the intracellular concentration of free calcium is neither necessary nor sufficient for the stimulated increase in cytoskeletal-associated actin. A possible relationship between the lipid remodeling stimulated by chemoattractants and the increased cytoskeletal actin is discussed. 相似文献

Codon usage in the vertebrate hemoglobins and its implications 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A study of codon usage in vertebrate hemoglobins revealed an evolutionary
trend toward elevated numbers of CpG codon boundary pairs in mammalian
hemoglobin alpha genes. Selection for CpG codon boundaries countering the
generally observed CpG suppression is strongly suggested by these data.
These observations parallel recently published experimental results that
indicate that constitutive expression of the human alpha-globin gene
appears to be determined by regulatory information encoded within the
structural gene. The possibility is raised that, in the absence of
selection, CpG decay can be used to date the evolutionary origin of a
mammalian alpha pseudogene from its active alpha gene.

Development of calcium and secretory responses in the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We have begun to characterize the development of the excitation-response coupling sequence in the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60. Using the recently developed fluorescent calcium probe quin-2, it was found that DMSO induced myeloid differentiation of the HL60 cells is accompanied by the development of a calcium response to the addition of the chemotactic factors fMet-Leu-Phe and leukotriene B4. The characteristics (time course, concentration dependence, stereospecificity, and metabolic dependence) of the calcium response are extremely similar to those previously described in human neutrophils. These results imply that functional receptors for leukotriene B4 appear in HL60 cells upon the induction of differentiation and also lend strong support to the use of these HL60 cells as a model of human myeloid differentiation. We have also characterized the emergence of a secretory response to fMet-Leu-Phe and leukotriene B4 in cytochalasin B treated HL60 cells. In addition, it is found that differentiation was required for the calcium ionophore A23187 to express its secretory activity toward the HL60 cells. This last set of results implies that differentiation is accompanied by the coordinated appearance of surface receptors and cytoplasmic factors required for the expression of cellular responsiveness. 相似文献

Following its addition to a suspension of rabbit neutrophils, leukotriene B4 is rapidly (less than 1 min) recovered from the cytoskeletal fraction (Triton X-100 insoluble pellet) of these cells. The association of leukotriene B4 with the cytoskeleton can be competed with by leukotriene B4 itself and by 20-OH leukotriene B4 but not by 20-COOH leukotriene B4. In addition, the preincubation of the cells with fMet-Leu-Phe or with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, but not with 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, results in a greatly decreased association of leukotriene B4 with the cytoskeleton. These results suggest that a specific association between the leukotriene B4 receptors and the cytoskeleton may be involved in signal transduction in the leukotriene B4 stimulated neutrophils. 相似文献

We have found that the changes in calcium metabolism in rabbit neutrophils produced by the chemotactic synthetic peptide f-Met-Leu-Phe are not sensitive to the calcium chelator EGTA. The present results demonstrate unambiguously that the previously described chemotactic factor induced changes in 45Ca fluxes in rabbit neutrophils do indeed reflect intracellular events. The pool of calcium mobilized by f-Met-Leu-Phe and increase in cell associated 45Ca upon stimulation are both insensitive to the presence of EGTA. 相似文献

The ability of the major neutrophil-derived lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid to increase the rate of 45Ca influx in rabbit neutrophils was examined. The results obtained demonstrate that (5S),(12R)-dihydroxy-6,8,11,14-(cis,trans,trans,cis)-eicosatetraenoic acid (leukotriene B4) is the most active of the arachidonic acid metabolites. The activity of leukotriene B4 is highly stereospecific in that its three nonenzymatically derived isomers are essentially inactive. The omega-hydroxylation of leukotriene B4 results in a compound that is nearly as active as leukotriene B4 as far as its ability to stimulate calcium influx and neutrophil aggregation while being a much weaker secretagogue. The further conversion of leukotriene B4 into a dicarboxylic acid removes all detectable biological activity. 5,6-Oxido-7,9,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (leukotriene A4) methyl ester was also found to increase the rate of calcium influx, while the degradation products of native leukotriene A4 were essentially inactive. These results demonstrate that a close correlation exists between the ability of the various lipoxygenase products to alter calcium homeostasis in rabbit neutrophils and their biological activities. 相似文献

A detailed examination of the effects of exogenous arachidonate on cation metabolism in rabbit neutrophils was undertaken. Arachidonic acid stimulates the movement of 45Ca into and out of the neutrophils with a net result, in the presence of extracellular calcium, of increasing the steady-state level of 45Ca. Arachidonate also increases the uptake of 22Na. These effects of arachidonate are specific to these cations, concentration-dependent, and sensitive to lipoxygenase inhibitors. At the concentrations used in this study arachidonate does not influence the permeability of human erythrocytes to 45Ca. Furthermore, both arachidonic acid and F-Met-Leu-Phe release calcium from a previously unexchangeable intracellular pool and the effect of the two stimuli are not additive. Arachidonic acid-dependent, but not F-Met-Leu-Phe-dependent, calcium release is sensitive to lipoxygenase inhibitors. These two stimuli thus appear to release is sensitive to lipoxygenase inhibitors. These two stimuli thus appear to release calcium from the same pool(s) by separate mechanisms. The results summarized above are consistent with the hypothesis that one or more arachidonate metabolites are involved in the mechanism underlying the chemotactic factor induced permeability changes in rabbit neutrophils. 相似文献

G-protein dissociation, GTP-GDP exchange and GTPase activity in control and PMA treated neutrophils stimulated by fMet-Leu-Phe 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The addition of the chemotactic factor fMet-Leu-Phe to cell homogenates causes a decrease in the pertussis toxin catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of a 41 kDa protein. The fMet-Leu-Phe induced decrease is not abolished in homogenates prepared from phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate treated neutrophils. This decreased ribosylation probably reflects a dissociation of the GTP-binding protein oligomer that is not followed by association, possibly because of the release of the alpha-subunit into the suspending medium. Furthermore, fMet-Leu-Phe stimulates the binding of radiolabelled guanylylimidodiphosphate to membrane preparations. Again, the stimulated binding of guanylylimidodiphosphate is not affected by treating the intact neutrophils with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. In addition leukotriene B4, platelet activating factor and fMet-Leu-Phe activate a high-affinity GTPase in membrane preparations. The basal level of this GTPase activity is dramatically inhibited in membrane preparations isolated from cells treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. On the other hand, the fMet-Leu-Phe stimulated component is only marginally reduced. The present findings suggest that PMA does not prevent receptor G-protein interaction. 相似文献
