title: Agonist-dependent phosphorylation of N-formylpeptide and activation peptide from the fifth component of C (C5a) chemoattractant receptors in differentiated HL60 cells.
abstract: Attenuation of signaling is a key step in controlling the cytotoxic potential of leukocyte responses to chemotactic factors. Antipeptide antibodies, directed against the N-formyl chemotactic peptide receptor (FPR) and the activation peptide from the fifth component of C (C5a) anaphylatoxin receptor (C5aR) of human neutrophils, were used to analyze the ability of these receptors to be phosphorylated. Our data show that, in granulocyte-like differentiated HL-60 cells, both FPR and C5aR undergo an agonist dose-dependent phosphorylation that reaches completion in less than 2 to 3 min, consistent with the rate and the dose-dependent attenuation of signaling in phagocytes. Therefore, phosphorylation might be one of the possible mechanisms involved in the desensitization process of FPR and C5aR. Addition of either C5a or the protein kinase C activator (PMA) did not appear to induce the phosphorylation of FPR in the absence of FMLP or to modulate the phosphorylation of the latter at low concentrations of agonist. In contrast, although FMLP at a saturating concentration barely stimulated the phosphorylation of unoccupied C5aR, it markedly potentiated C5aR phosphorylation in cells exposed to low concentrations of C5a. Moreover, PMA was able to induce C5aR phosphorylation in the absence of agonist, indicating that protein kinase C or protein kinase C-activated kinase(s) could be involved in the phosphorylation of C5aR. Pretreatment of cells with staurosporine, a potent but nonspecific inhibitor of protein kinase C, resulted in the partial inhibition of both FPR and C5aR phosphorylation induced by saturating concentrations of agonist, suggesting that a kinase different from protein kinase C might be mainly responsible for the phosphorylation of these chemotactic receptors.
