title: Inhibition of inositol phospholipids metabolism and calcium mobilization by cyclic AMP-increasing agents and phorbol ester in neutrophils.
abstract: Cyclic AMP-increasing agents such as PGE2 and dibutyryl cAMP inhibited the fMLP-induced inositol phospholipids metabolism mainly through the suppression of the conversion of phosphatidylinositol(PI) to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate(PIP2). A part of this inhibition was found to be caused by the inhibitory effect of cAMP on PI kinase using isolated plasma membranes. On the other hand, 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate(TPA) mainly inhibited the conversion of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate(PIP) to PIP2 without a significant effect on the fMLP-induced breakdown of PIP2, though direct effect of TPA on PI and PIP kinases was not demonstrated in isolated plasma membranes. Concerning Ca2+ mobilization, both cAMP-increasing agents and TPA inhibited the fMLP-induced second phase of Ca2+ elevation, while they did not affect the first phase of Ca2+ rapid increase. However, Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin-induced Ca2+ elevation was only inhibitable by TPA but not PGE2. These results suggest that cAMP inhibits the fMLP-induced Ca2+ influx, while TPA stimulates Ca2+ removal from cytosol.
