Mo3e is a protein (p 50,80) that is expressed on the surface of human
monocytic cells after exposure in vitro to soluble activating factors that
include bacterial lipopolysaccharide, muramyl dipeptide, and phorbol
myristate acetate (PMA). The surface expression of Mo3e may represent a
cellular event that occurs in response to the formation of "secondary
messengers" that include diacylglycerol, inositol trisphosphate, and
calcium ions. This postulate is based on the stimulatory effect of agents
that can mimic the activity of endogenous diacylglycerol (PMA and other
biologically active phorbol compounds, mezerein, and L-alpha-1,2
dioctanoylglycerol) and inositol trisphosphate (ionomycin) on Mo3e
expression by U-937 and HL-60 cells. The inhibitory effect of
phospholipid-active calmodulin inhibitors (trifluoperazine, chlorpromazine,
and dibucaine), calcium antagonists (nicardipine and TMB-8), and EGTA
further support the involvement of phospholipid- and calcium-dependent
protein kinase (protein kinase C) and calcium ions in the up-modulation of
Mo3e surface expression.
