A step sensitive to pertussis toxin and phorbol ester in human neutrophils regulates chemotaxis and capping but not phagocytosis

Abstract: Treatment of human neutrophils with pertussis toxin (PT) abolishes chemotaxis in response to either platelet-activating factor (PAF) or f-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP), and capping induced via the concanavalin A (Con A) receptor. These functional effects are accompanied by the inhibition of calcium mobilization by PAF, FMLP and Con A. The agent phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) also inhibits chemotaxis and capping as well as calcium mobilization by these receptors. In sharp contrast, neither PT, cholera toxin (CT), n… Show more

“…Even at a sixfold higher toxin concentration, phagocytosis and the associated generation of second messengers were largely unaffected. This agrees well with a previous study (although that study dealt with a different kind of particle and much higher concentrations ofpertussis toxin), which failed to demonstrate that pertussis toxin had any effect at all on receptor-mediated phagocytosis (26). In contrast, both chemotactic and secretory functions elicited by chemoattractants such as FMLP, C5a, and LTB4 are entirely suppressed by pertussis toxin.…”

“…Pertussis toxin provided the first indications of a critical mediatory role for a G protein in neutrophil activation by soluble agonists (45). On the other hand, pertussis toxin has been reported to inhibit stimulated monocyte phagocytosis (46) but not unstimulated neutrophil phagocytosis (47). GM-CSF is known to modulate the functional responsiveness of neutrophils to soluble stimuli such as peptidic and lipidic chemotactic factors (48,49).…”

“…The signal transduction cascade initiated by these receptors has also been shown to be essential since treatment of cells with pertussis toxin, which blocks the interaction of G i proteins with receptors, completely abolishes leukocyte chemotaxis (23)(24)(25). Furthermore, actin polymerization has been demonstrated to be essential, since cytochalasins, which block actin polymerization, also abolish chemotaxis (26,27).…”
