Abstract

Human neutrophils treated with pertussis toxin had decreased functional responses to several agents including zymosan-treated serum, heat-aggregated immunoglobulin, platelet-activating factor, and fMet-Leu-Phe. Responses affected include superoxide generation and release of lysozyme. The degree and type of inhibition was dependent on the individual receptor and the cellular response studied. Measurement of intracellular calcium levels with quin-2 showed that both fMet-Leu-Phe- and platelet-activating factor-mediated increases in quin-2 fluorescence were diminished as a result of pertussis toxin treatment. fMet-Leu-Phe-mediated calcium uptake was also inhibited. However, under conditions where fMet-Leu-Phe-mediated effects on cell function were completely abolished, only a partial inhibition of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid 8-(diethylamino)octyl ester (TMB-8) sensitive calcium uptake was observed. A study of the linked reactions of chemotaxis, capping, and shape change revealed that chemotaxis was inhibited regardless of the chemoattractant utilized (zymosan-treated serum, fMet-Leu-Phe, and platelet-activating factor) and the associated reactions of Con A capping and fMet-Leu-Phe- or Con A-mediated shape change were reduced in pertussis toxin-treated cells. Our results suggest that multiple mediators of inflammation act through a pertussis toxin-sensitive GTP-binding protein that regulates the mobilization of internal calcium as well as calcium uptake and is, in addition, a key control element of shape change, capping, and chemotaxis.
