title: Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate inhibition of leukotriene D4-induced signal transduction was rapidly reversed by staurosporine.
abstract: Activation of leukotriene D4 receptors results in phospholipase C-mediated breakdown of phosphatidylinositol and increases in intracellular Ca2+ in U-937 cells. Treatment (10 min) with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate blocked leukotriene D4-induced phosphatidylinositol metabolism and Ca2+ mobilization (IC50 = 0.2 nM). Treatment with 10 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate produced blockade which was complete within 1 min and no recovery was observed over 7 days. Addition of the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine (100 nM) to U-937 cells pretreated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate for 5 min or 24 hr resulted in a rapid reappearance of leukotriene D4-induced Ca2+ mobilization. Half of the response recovered within 2 min, with complete recovery in 20 min. Staurosporine produced a concentration-related recovery of signal transduction, with an EC50 of 30 nM. These data describe cells which have a novel response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate in that the inhibition of leukotriene D4 signal transduction is persistent and yet rapidly reversed by staurosporine.
