Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the effects of epinephrine (0.01-1 microM) on superoxide production by, and release of elastase from human neutrophils activated with the chemotactic tripeptide, N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (FMLP) (1 microM) in vitro, and to relate alterations in these responses to changes in adenosine 3,5' cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and cytosolic free Ca(2+). Cyclic AMP, superoxide production and elastase release were measured by radioimmunoassay, lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence, and a colorimetric procedure respectively. Cytosolic Ca(2+) fluxes were measured by fura-2 spectrofluorimetry in combination with radiometric procedures that enable distinction between net efflux and influx of the cation. Epinephrine treatment of neutrophils resulted in increased cAMP and dose-related inhibition of both superoxide production and elastase release, which was potentiated by the type 4 phosphodiesterase inhibitor, rolipram, and attenuated by propranolol, but not by selective beta(1)-, alpha(1)- or alpha(2)-adrenoreceptor antagonists. Although epinephrine did not affect the FMLP-activated abruptly-occurring increase in fura-2 fluorescence intensity, indicating no effects on the release of Ca(2+) f...Continue Reading
