Activation of human neutrophil nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced (triphosphopyridine nucleotide, reduced) oxidase by arachidonic acid in a cell-free system.

Abstract: Sonicates from unstimulated human neutrophils produce no measurable superoxide since the superoxide-generating enzyme, NADPH oxidase, is inactive in these preparations. Previous attempts to activate the oxidase in disrupted cells with conventional neutrophil stimuli have been unsuccessful. This report describes a cell-free system in which arachidonic acid (82 M1M) was able to activate superoxide generation that was dependent upon the presence of NADPH and the sonicate. For activation to occur, both the particu… Show more

“…Many reports emphasize the effects of AA on p47 phox . Early studies showed AA or other anionic amphiphiles activate ROS production in cell-free assays of Nox2 activity (Bromberg and Pick, 1984;Curnutte, 1985). It is thought that AA induces conformational changes in p47 phox that may mimic the effects of phosphorylation, resulting in exposure of its binding PX and SH3 domains and translocation of p47 phox and p67 phox (Shiose and Sumimoto, 2000).…”

“…However, recent studies in p40 phox -deficient mice or in Fc␥IIA receptor-reconstituted cells indicate p40 phox is an essential component of the Nox2 system (Ellson et al, 2006;Suh et al, 2006). Arachidonic acid (AA) has been used frequently as a activator of Nox2 in cell-free assay systems (Bromberg and Pick, 1984;Curnutte, 1985). Although relatively high concentrations of AA (50 -200 M) are required for activation of Nox2 both in vitro and in vivo, functional roles for cytosolic phospholipase A 2 (cPLA 2 ), which produces AA, in Nox2 activation have been demonstrated at the cellular level (Dana et al, 1998;Zhao et al, 2002;Shmelzer et al, 2003).…”

“…These include the activation of protein kinases to phosphorylate cellular proteins and NADPH oxidase components (2,8) and the generation of various lipid second messengers (AA by phospholipase A 2 (9); DG by phospholipase C or PA phosphohydrolase; PA by phospholipase D or DG kinase (10,11)). In cell-free systems, these lipids can induce activation of the enzyme (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). AA exerts its effect by directly acting on enzyme components (18 -22).…”

“…27). Soon after that report, three other laboratories independently developed cell-free systems and confirmed that under very specific conditions, O 2̇̄g eneration could be supported by combining cytosol and membranes from resting phagocytes (28)(29)(30). Coupled with the ferricytochrome c assay, use of the cell-free system made possible the discovery of cytoplasmic proteins required for normal phagocyte oxidase activity (reviewed in Ref.…”
