title: Cyclic AMP inhibits chemotactic-peptide-induced but not Ca2+-ionophore- or tetradecanoylphorbol-acetate-induced enzyme secretion in guinea pig neutrophils.
abstract: cAMP-increasing agents such as prostaglandin El, dibutyryl cAMP and 8-bromo-cAMP inhibited N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase secretion induced by the chemotactic peptide formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine in guinea pig neutrophils. However, they could not inhibit but rather potentiated the secretion significantly when secretion was induced by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. Similarly, these agents did not inhibit tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA)-induced secretion. Moreover, the secretion induced by combined treatment with Ca2+ ionophore A23187 and TPA was hardly blocked by cAMP-increasing agents. These results strongly suggest that cAMP inhibits the secretion through suppression of a signal transduction from receptor activation to events such as Ca2+ mobilization and protein kinase C activation, probably of the inositol phospholipid metabolism.
