Abstract
Effects of staurosporine, genistein and pertussis toxin on superoxide and HOCl production in C5a- or PMA-activated neutrophils were investigated. A C5a-induced superoxide and $H_2O_2$ production was inhibited by staurosporine, genistein and pertussis toxin. The stimulatory effect of PMA was inhibited by staurosporine but was not affected by pertussis toxin, whereas it was further promoted by genistein. Staurosporine and genistein inhibited superoxide production by sodium fluoride, but pertussis toxin did not affect it. PMA-induced $H_2O_2$ production was inhibited by staurosporine but was not affected by pertussis toxin. Genistein did not show a stimulatory effect on PMA-induced $H_2O_2$ production. Staurosporine and pertussis toxin inhibited HOCl production by C5a- or PMA, whereas genistein stimulated it. C5a-or PMA-induced myeloperoxidase release was inhibited by genistein, in this response the effect of pertussis toxin was not detected. Staurosporine did not affect the stimulatory effect of PMA on the release. Myeloperoxidase activity was markedly increased by genistein but was not affected by staurosporine and pertussis toxin. These results indicate that the respiratory burst of neutrophils may be regulated by protein kinase C and protein tyrosine kinase. Superoxide production induced by the direct activation of protein kinase C might be affected by protein tyrosine kinase oppositely. Genistein probably pro-motes HOCl production by activating myeloperoxidase.
C5a 또는 PMA에 의하여 활성화된 호중구에서의 superoxide와 HOCl 생성에 나타내는 staurosporine, genistein과 pertussis toxin의 효과를 관찰하였다. C5a에 의한 superoxide과 $H_2O_2$의 생성은 staurosporine, genistein과 pertussis toxin에 의하여 억제되었다. PMA의 자극효과는 staurosporine에 의하여 억제되었으나 pertussis toxin에 의하여 영향을 받지 않았으며, 한편 이는 genistein에 의하여 더 촉진되었다. Staurosporine, genistein은 sodium fluoride에 의한 superoxide 생성을 억제 하였으나 pertussis toxin은 영향을 나타내지 않았다. PMA에 의한 $H_2O_2$의 생성은 staurosporine에 의하여 억제되었으나 pertussis toxin은 영향을 나타내지 않았다. Genistein은 PMA에 의한 $H_2O_2$의 생성에 자극효과를 나타내지 않았다. Staurosporine과 pertussis toxin은 C5a 또는 PMA에 의한 HOCl 생성을 억제하였으나, 이에 반하여 genistein은 자극하였다. C5a와 PMA에 의한 myeloperoxidase 유리는 genistein에 의하여 억제되었나, pertussis toxin의 효과는 나타나지 않았다. Staurosporine은 유리에 대한 PMA의 자극효과에 영향을 주지 않았다. Myeloperoxidase 활성은 genistein에 의하여 현저하게 증가되었으나 staurosporine과 pertussis toxin의 영향은 받지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 호중구의 respiratory burst가 protein kinase C와 protein tyrosine kinase에 의하여 조절된다고 제시한다. Protein kinase C의 직접적인 자극에 따른 superoxide 생성은 protein tyrosine kinase의 영향을 역으로 받을 것으로 추정된다. Genistein은 아마도 myeloperoxidase를 활성화하여 HOCl 생성을 촉진할 것으로 시사된다.
