Signal pathway regulation of interleukin-8-induced actin polymerization in neutrophils.
Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a recently described peptide cytokine, is a neutrophil chemoattractant and activator that exerts effects similar to fMLP, yet their receptors and their roles in pathophysiology differ. The effect of IL-8 on the neutrophil cytoskeleton has not been well studied; therefore, we compared and contrasted the effects of IL-8 and fMLP on neutrophil actin conformation and on the si...
متن کاملGuanine nucleotide-induced polymerization of actin in electropermeabilized human neutrophils
The effects of exogenous guanine nucleotides on the polymerization of actin in human neutrophils were tested in an electropermeabilized cell preparation. Close to 40% permeabilization was achieved with a single electric discharge as measured by nucleic acid staining with ethidium bromide or propidium iodide with minimal (less than 2%) release of the cytoplasmic marker lactate dehydrogenase. In ...
متن کاملInduction of Actin Polymerization in Permeabilized Neutrophils
We have used streptolysin-0 (SO)-permeabilized neutrophils to investigate the signal transduction pathway through which chemoattractants induce actin polymerization. Chemoattractants stimulate phosphorylation of various proteins and lipids but whether these phosphorylations are required for actin polymerization is not known. Addition of guanosine 5’-3-0-(thio)triphosphate (GTPyS) to SO-permeabi...
متن کاملGelsolin-actin interaction and actin polymerization in human neutrophils
The fraction of polymerized actin in human blood neutrophils increases after exposure to formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fmlp), is maximal 10 s after peptide addition, and decreases after 300 s. Most of the gelsolin (85 +/- 11%) in resting ficoll-hypaque (FH)-purified neutrophils is in an EGTA resistant, 1:1 gelsolin-actin complex, and, within 5 s after 10(-7) M fmlp activation, the amou...
متن کاملOsmotic stress activates Rac and Cdc42 in neutrophils: role in hypertonicity-induced actin polymerization.
Hypertonicity inhibits a variety of neutrophil functions through poorly defined mechanisms. Our earlier studies suggest that osmotically induced actin polymerization and cytoskeleton remodeling is a key component in the hypertonic block of exocytosis and cell movement. To gain insight into the signaling mechanisms underlying the hyperosmotic F-actin response, we investigated whether hypertonici...
