title: A tyrosine kinase signaling pathway accounts for the majority of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate formation in chemoattractant-stimulated human neutrophils.
abstract: The signaling pathway leading from G protein-coupled chemoattractant receptors to the generation of oxidants by NADPH oxidase in human neutrophils requires the formation of the lipid mediator phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). Two mechanisms through which PIP3 can be generated have been described in human leukocytes. One pathway involves the coupling of the src-related tyrosine kinase Lyn to the "classical" p85/p110 form of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. The second paradigm utilizes a novel form of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase whose activity is directly regulated by G protein betagamma subunits. In this paper, we show that formation of PIP3 in chemoattractant-stimulated neutrophils is substantially attenuated by inhibitors that specifically block tyrosine kinase activity. These data suggest that the Lyn activation pathway plays a major role in the formation of this important lipid messenger during chemoattractant stimulation of human neutrophils.
