title: Recombinant interleukin-8 induces changes in cytosolic Ca2+ in human neutrophils.
abstract: Activation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) by most soluble stimulants is associated with a marked increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i). Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor and potent neutrophil-activating cytokine, effectively enhanced the resting free [Ca2+]i within human PMNL in a dose-dependent manner (maximal effect with 100 ng/mL). The increase in [Ca2+]i was substantially (55%) inhibited in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Thus, the increase was due to extra- and intracellular cooperative mobilization of Ca2+, as supported by the reduced effect of IL-8 on [Ca2+]i after quenching with Mn2+. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interferon-gamma failed to induce a change in [Ca2+]i, suggesting that they may operate through different signal pathways. Pretreatment with Bordetella pertussis toxin largely inhibited the IL-8-induced change in [Ca2+]i. Thus, IL-8-induced cooperative mobilization of intra- and extracellular Ca2+ leads to a net Ca2+ influx into the cytoplasm through a process mediated by a guanosine triphosphate-binding protein.
