Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Ligand-initiated activation of neutrophils triggers O2- generation, degranulation, phospholipid remodeling, and release of fatty acids such as arachidonate, oleate, and palmitate. Long chain acyl-CoA synthetase converts free fatty acids to acyl-CoA esters; a role for acyl-CoA esters as positive modulators of neutrophil functions is proposed. Physiologically relevant concentrations (1-10 microM) of acyl-CoA esters such as palmitoyl-CoA, enhanced O2- generation triggered by fMet-Leu-Phe or guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) but did not act as a trigger per se. Triacsin C, an inhibitor of acyl-CoA synthetase, inhibited fMet-Leu-Phe-elicited O2- generation and degranulation in a concentration-dependent manner. Triacsin C inhibited O2- generation elicited by fMet-Leu-Phe and GTP gamma S in electroporated neutrophils, indicating that acyl-CoA acted downstream from the receptor. Palmitoyl-CoA reversed the Triacsin C-induced inhibition of O2- generation. fMet-Leu-Phe elicited a prompt increase in total long chain acyl-CoA esters. Arachidonoyl-CoA and oleoyl-CoA were elevated 5 s after addition of fMet-Leu-Phe, while palmitoyl-CoA was not elevated until 60 s. Triacsin C inhibited fMet-Leu-Phe-initiated increases in arachidonoyl-CoA, oleoyl-CoA, and palmitoyl-CoA. These results suggest a role for acyl-CoA esters in regulating activation of O2- generation and degranulation at the G protein or subsequent step(s).
