Abstract
In human neutrophils, significant agonist-stimulated superoxide anion (O2-) release is observed only after exposure to a priming agent such as TNFalpha. We have investigated the potential for TNFalpha to modulate N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-triggered Ins(1,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 accumulation. TNFalpha pretreatment did not affect basal or stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels but greatly upregulated fMLP-stimulated PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 accumulation, in a manner that matched, both temporally and in magnitude, the increase in O2- generation implying a possible role for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 in signalling primed O2- release.
