Signal pathway regulation of interleukin-8-induced actin polymerization in neutrophils

RL Sham, PD Phatak, TP Ihne, CN Abboud and CH Packman

University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, NY.

Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a recently described peptide cytokine, is a neutrophil chemoattractant and activator that exerts effects similar to fMLP, yet their receptors and their roles in pathophysiology differ. The effect of IL-8 on the neutrophil cytoskeleton has not been well studied; therefore, we compared and contrasted the effects of IL-8 and fMLP on neutrophil actin conformation and on the signal pathway regulation of actin responses. IL-8 caused a rapid, dose-dependent increase in neutrophil F-actin content within 30 seconds. The maximum increase was twofold. These changes were accompanied by the development of F-actin-rich pseudopods, as noted with fluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Selected biochemical inhibitors were used to study the regulation of the IL-8-induced actin changes. Incubation of neutrophils with 2 micrograms/mL pertussis toxin resulted in a 67% inhibition of the IL-8-induced F-actin increase. The protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors, staurosporine and H7, did not inhibit the increase in F-actin caused by IL-8. IL-8 caused a rapid increase in neutrophil intracellular calcium that could be completely inhibited by the chelating agent 1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N-N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA). However, BAPTA-treated neutrophils retained the ability to increase F-actin in response to IL-8. Similar results were seen with fMLP, indicating that, similar to fMLP, the IL-8-induced actin response is mediated through pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-proteins but is neither dependent on PKC nor increases in cytosolic calcium. Thus, although IL- 8 and fMLP exert their effects on neutrophils through different receptors, the signal transduction pathways used and the effects on actin conformation and pseudopod formation are similar.
