Rebamipide suppresses formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-induced superoxide production by inhibiting fMLP-receptor binding in human neutrophils.

چکیده
The purpose of the present work was to investigate the mechanism underlying the inhibitory action of rebamipide on superoxide anion (O2) production induced by the chemotactic peptide formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) in human neutrophils. Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP(3)), a product of phosphoinositide 3-OH-kinase (PI 3-kinase) accumulated in response to fMLP and this accumulation was well correlated with O2 production in human neutrophils. Rebamipide inhibited PIP(3) production in parallel with the inhibition of fMLP-induced O2 production. PI 3-kinase activity in anti-PI 3-kinase p85 immunoprecipitates was not affected by the presence of rebamipide, therefore rebamipide did not have a direct inhibitory action on PI 3-kinase activity. Since rebamipide had no inhibitory effect on O2 production induced by NaF, a direct activator of G protein, the target of the inhibitory action of rebamipide appears to be a component of the signal transduction pathway upstream of G protein. Scatchard analysis of [3H]fMLP binding to human neutrophil membrane revealed that rebamipide increased the K(D) value of [3H]fMLP without altering the number of [3H]fMLP binding sites, suggesting that rebamipide has a competitive antagonistic action against the fMLP-receptor. The competitive antagonistic action was further confirmed by the finding that rebamipide caused a parallel shift to the right in the dose-response curve of O2 production induced by fMLP. These results provide evidence that the competitive inhibitory action of rebamipide on the fMLP-receptor plays a main role in its inhibitory action on fMLP-induced O2 production.

Studies on the mechanism of inhibition of chemotactic tripeptide stimulated human neutrophil polymorphonuclear leucocyte superoxide production by chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine.
The effect of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine on neutrophil superoxide release stimulated by the chemotactic tripeptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) was examined. Both drugs caused time and dose dependent inhibition of superoxide release but had no effect on equilibrium binding of [3H]FMLP to its receptor. Preliminary experiments suggest that these drugs may exert their inh...

The effects of holotoxins and toxin subunits from Bordetella pertussis and Vibrio cholerae strains on intact and digitonin-permeabilized human polymorphonuclear neutrophils were studied. Our data clearly demonstrate that formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-induced generation of chemotactic active leukotriene B4 was inhibited by both holotoxins as well as by their isolated enzymatic A p...

It is well known that overwhelming neutrophil activation is closely related to acute and chronic inflammatory injuries. Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) plays an important role in activation of neutrophils and may represent a potent therapeutic target in inflammatory diseases. In the present study, we demonstrated that IA-LBI07-1 (IA), an extract of bioactive secondary metabolites from a marine...
متن کاملActivation of neutrophils by cachectin/tumor necrosis factor: priming of N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-induced oxidative responsiveness via receptor mobilization without degranulation.
Human recombinant cachectin/tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was shown to prime neutrophils (PMNs), in a dose-dependent fashion, for subsequent oxidative responsiveness toward n-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). One basis for this phenomenon appeared to be TNF-mediated FMLP receptor mobilization. The maximal observed priming response was associated with a nearly twofold increase in the e...

We investigated the coupling of the fMLP (N -formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine; 'chemotactic peptide') receptor with phosphorylation of the actin-binding protein L-plastin in neutrophils. Using two-dimensional IEF (isoelectric focusing)/PAGE and MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight)-MS, L-plastin was identified as a major phosphoprotein in fMLP-stimula...
