چکیده

Transmembrane signaling by chemoattractants in leukocytes appears to require activation of phosphoinositide metabolism with subsequent generation of the second messenger substances, inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. In addition, previous studies have shown that conditions which lead to an intracellular increase in S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy), a by-product and competitive inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionine-mediated methylation reactions, inhibit all chemoattractant-mediated functions of leukocytes, suggesting that AdoHcy also interferes with chemoattractant transmembrane signaling. In the present study, we determined whether AdoHcy altered the metabolism of phosphoinositides in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Treatment of 32P-labeled polymorphonuclear leukocytes with the adenosine deaminase inhibitor, erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine, plus exogenous adenosine and L-homocysteine thiolactone, conditions which cause an increase in AdoHcy, produced as much as a 37% decrease in the amount of [32P]phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate associated with the cells. The formation of inositol bisphosphate was inhibited by as much as 45% by erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine, adenosine, and L-homocysteine thiolactone suggesting decreased availability of phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate. In support of this, AdoHcy, in concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 mM, inhibited the transfer of gamma-32P from gamma-[32P] ATP to phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns). The inhibition of PtdIns kinase was competitive with an apparent Ki for AdoHcy of 43 microM. Increased intracellular AdoHcy reduced chemoattractant-mediated increases in inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphate formation suggesting abrogation of transmembrane signaling. These findings for the first time demonstrate that AdoHcy is a competitive inhibitor of PtdIns kinase and thus a regulator of the phosphoinositide pathway.

The requirement for membrane sialic acid in the stimulation of superoxide production during phagocytosis by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes

The effect of desialylation on phagocytosis of latex particles and oxidative metabolism of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes was studied. Removal of 20% total leukocyte sialic acid by bacterial neuraminidase had no effect on phagocytosis of latex particles and phagocytosis-associated activation of hexose monophosphate shunt in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. In contrast, desialylation prev...

One of the unique characteristics of polymorphonuclear leukocytes from normal subjects is their high rate of aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis with accumulation of lactic acid (1,2). Intermediates and enzymes of the Embden-Meyerhof scheme have been isolated and identified (3-5) and Beck (6) has calculated the V,,, of a number of these enzymes. The results indicate the hexokinase to be the chief ...

Heparin inhibits phagocytosis by polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

Phagocytosis of unopsonized Salmonella typhimurium 395, MR-10, opsonized Salmonella typhimurium 395 MS, and Staphylococcus epidermidis by rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes was inhibited by heparin at concentrations as low as 0.5 U/ml. Inhibition was dose dependent and nearly complete at 20 U/ml. Provided that heparin concentrations did not exceed 100 U/ml, inhibition could be largely reversed...

Effects of quercetin on magnesium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase and the metabolism of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

The bioflavinoid quercetin was found to exert at least three separate effects on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. (1) Concentrations of approximately 100 microM inhibited the membrane-associated magnesium adenosine triphosphatase by 60%-80% in either broken cell preparations or intact cells. Lineweaver-Burk plots showed the inhibition to be uncompetitive in nature. (2) Similar concentrations...
