Treatment of PMN's with PT causes an abolition of chemotaxis, enzyme release, superoxide generation and aggregation caused by f-met-leu-phe (FMLP),C5a and platelet activating factor (PAF). Lectin (Con-A) induced capping and receptor induced shape change are abolished, but phagocytosis is unaltered. In whole cells, calcium mobilization induced by FMLP, PAF and Con-A inhibited by PT although the FMLP-mediated effect is more susceptible to PT's effects. Treatment of PMN's with phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate (PMA) causes an abolition of calcium mobilization by all agents in a range which also inhibits cap formation. Investigation of calcium uptake reveals PT sensitive and insensitive components. Reciprocal interactions between Ns and Ni proteins are also observed since pretreatment with FMLP and PAF causes a stimulation of Ns-mediated cyclic AMP enhancement while pretreatment with Ns linked receptors (PGE/sub 1/ and beta receptor agonists) inhibits calcium mobilization. Comparative peptide mapping studies indicate substantial similarity between Ni proteins in PMN's, platelets and human erythrocytes. The authors results suggest that the Ni linked calcium mobilization sensitive to PMA is important to the regulation of the human neutrophil.
