title: Role of tyrosyl phosphorylation in neutrophil priming by tumor necrosis factor-alpha and granulocyte colony stimulating factor.
abstract: The ability of human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) to induce phosphorylation of protein tyrosyl residues in human peripheral neutrophils (PMN) was investigated by Western blot analysis with antiphosphotyrosine antibody. Both TNF-alpha and G-CSF increased the tyrosyl phosphorylation of various proteins, such as species of 54-, 63-, 72-, 83-, 98-, 108-, and 115-kDa proteins. The ligand-stimulated tyrosyl phosphorylation of the 115-kDa protein was time- and concentration-dependent. When the 115-kDa protein was phosphorylated, it was recovered from membrane fractions. The phosphorylation of the 115-kDa protein was inhibited by genistein and alpha-cyano-3-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-phenylthiomethylcinnamamide (ST 638), inhibitors of tyrosine kinase (TK), and was enhanced by 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl) methyl-piperazine dihydrochloride (H-7) and staurosporine, inhibitors of Ca(2+)- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKC). Similar inhibition by the TK inhibitors and stimulation by the PKC inhibitors were also observed with formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)-induced superoxide (O2.-) generation by TNF-alpha- or G-CSF-primed PMN. Phosphorylation of the 115-kDa protein occurred in parallel with the ligand-dependent generation of O2.-. These and other observations suggested that substrate proteins for tyrosine kinase, such as the 115-kDa protein, might play critical roles in the mechanism for priming of neutrophils. This is the first report describing that tyrosyl phosphorylation is involved in the priming of neutrophils by G-CSF and TNF-alpha.
