PG - 679-84 AB - The effects of a soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) activator, 3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzyl indazole (YC-1), on formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-stimulated [Ca(2+)](i) elevation in rat neutrophils were examined. YC-1 produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of [Ca(2+)](i) elevation. Pretreatment of neutrophils with YC-1 did not enhance its inhibitory effect. YC-1 also inhibited the [Ca(2+)](i) changes caused by ionomycin. In a biphasic model, measuring the [Ca(2+)](i) stimulation by fMLP in a Ca(2+)-free medium followed by reintroduction of Ca(2+), YC-1 mainly affected Ca(2+) influx. YC-1 also inhibited active and passive Mn(2+) influx, and this inhibitory effect was not attenuated by the sGC inhibitor 6-anilino-5,8-quinolinequinone (LY83583). Sodium nitroprusside did not affect the fMLP-stimulated [Ca(2+)](i) changes. Pretreatment of neutrophils with the cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor 8-(4-chlorophenylthio) guanosine-3',5'-monophosphorothioate, Rp-isomer (Rp-8-pCPT-cGMPS), LY83583, the protein phosphatase 2B inhibitor cyclosporin A, or the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine did not attenuate the inhibition of [Ca(2+)](i) by YC-1. YC-1 inhibited the fMLP-stimulated protein tyrosine phosphorylation. These results indicate that cyclic GMP does not play an important role in the regulation of [Ca(2+)](i) in rat neutrophils. Inhibition of fMLP-stimulated [Ca(2+)](i) changes by YC-1 is mainly via the blockade of Ca(2+) entry through the inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity, but not the stimulation of protein kinase C and protein phosphatase 2B.
