PG - 823-8 AB - We investigated actin polymerization and the increase of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in a human eosinophilic leukemia cell line, EoL-1, in response to stimulation with chemotactic factors; we also investigated the effect of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) on the responses. EoL-1 cells under normal culture conditions did not show either actin polymerization or an increase in [Ca2+]i when stimulated with formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). Expression of formyl peptide receptors was not detectable on untreated EoL-1 cells, either. Dibutyryl cAMP induced the expression of formyl peptide receptors and the responsiveness to fMLP. The responsiveness of EoL-1 cells to the complement fragment C5a and platelet-activating factor (PAF) was also induced or enhanced by dbcAMP. The growth of EoL-1 cells was decreased and the proportion of cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle was increased by the treatment of EoL-1 cells with dbcAMP. The proportion of eosinophilic granule-containing cells and the content of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in EoL-1 cells was also increased when they were stimulated with dbcAMP for a longer period. The responsiveness of EoL-1 cells to fMLP, C5a, and PAF was shown to be regulated independently. EoL-1 cells and dbcAMP seem to be useful for examining chemotactic receptor expression and its signal transduction mechanisms.
