Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) with suboptimal does of phorbol myristyl acetate (PMA) will increase fMP receptor expression with parallel potentiation of superoxide generation. PMA-induced changes in leukotriene B{sub 4} (LTB{sub 4}) receptor expression were assessed in parallel with fMP receptor expression to determine if these two independent receptor classes are regulated in a similar manner by PKC. The relative density of fMP receptors was assessed by flow cytometry. The relative density of receptors for LTB{sub 4} was quantitated by incubating 2 {times} 10{sup 6} Ns with 10nM({sup 3}H)-LTB{sub 4} and determining the amount of radioactivity bound after filtration on glass fiber filters. Incubation of N with 10ng/mL PMA induced a 3.2-fold increase in fMP receptor expression by 5 min which was sustained for up to 15 min. In contrast, LTB{sub 4} receptor density decreased by 36% within 5 min. in response to 10 ng/mL PMA. Staurosporine, a potent antagonist of PKC, had no effect of fMP receptor expression but markedly enhanced LTB{sub 4} receptor expression by 1.7-fold at 200nM. PKC acts to decrease the surface expression of LTB{sub 4} receptors in contrast to the enhancement of fMP receptor expression, suggesting in contrast to the enhancement of fMP receptor expression, suggesting that potentiation of N function by PMA may be stimulus-specific.
