PG - 15870-5 AB - The effects of carbobenzyloxy-leucine-tyrosine-chloromethylketone (zLYCK), an inhibitor of chymotrypsin-like proteases, on signal transduction in human neutrophils triggered by the chemoattractant formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) were investigated. zLYCK (10 microM) inhibited the fMLP-induced respiratory burst in neutrophils treated with cytochalasin B. In the presence of zLYCK (10 microM), the activation of phospholipase D in response to fMLP addition was inhibited. zLYCK did not inhibit the binding of [3H] fMLP to its receptor or the enzymic activity of phospholipase D because the response to ionomycin was unaffected. The effect of zLYCK on phospholipase D correlated well with its effects on the accumulation of diglycerides, which was also inhibited in the presence of zLYCK. In electropermeabilized neutrophils, too, zLYCK caused an inhibition of the fMLP-induced respiratory burst and the fMLP-induced activation of phospholipase D. Interestingly, this inhibition could be bypassed by guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate). We conclude that the inhibition of the respiratory burst in human neutrophils by zLYCK is caused by the selective inhibition of signal transduction leading to activation of phospholipase D and that zLYCK might be a useful probe to study the role of phospholipase D in neutrophil activation.
