title: Roles of p38 MAPK, PKC and PI3-K in the signaling pathways of NADPH oxidase activation and phagocytosis in bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
abstract: Stimulation of bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) with serum-opsonized zymosan (sOZ) induced the activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), protein kinase C (PKC) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) and sOZ-induced O(2)(-) production was significantly attenuated by their inhibitors (SB203580 for p38 MAPK, GF109203X for PKC and wortmannin for PI3-K). They caused significant attenuation of sOZ-induced phosphorylation of p47phox as well. Flow cytometric analysis, however, revealed that SB203580 and wortmannin attenuated phagocytosis, but GF109203X facilitated it. The results suggest that p38 MAPK and PI3-K participated in both signaling pathways of NADPH oxidase activation (O(2)(-) production) and phagocytosis, and PKC participated in the signaling pathway of NADPH oxidase activation alone.
