Neutrophils are mobilized to the vascular wall during vessel inflammation. Conflicting data on phagocytic NADPH oxidase activation during the hypertensive state have been published, and the capacity of angiotensin II (Ang II) to modulate the intracellular redox status has not been analyzed in neutrophils. We here describe that Ang II highly stimulates both endogenous and extracellular O2.- production in these cells, consistently with the translocation to the cell membrane of the cytosolic components of NADPH oxidase, p47phox and p67phox. The Ang II-dependent O2.- production was suppressed by specific inhibitors of AT1 receptors, of the p38MAPK and ERK1/2 pathways and of flavin oxidases. Furthermore, Ang II induced a robust phosphorylation of p38MAPK, ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 (particularly JNK2), which was hindered by inhibitors of NADPH oxidase and tyrosine kinases, as well as by ROS scavengers. Ang II increased cytosolic Ca2+ levels -mainly released from calcium stores-, enhanced the synthesis de novo and activity of calcineurin, and stimulated the DNA-binding activity of the transcription factor NF- B in cultured human neutrophils. Present data demonstrate for the first time a stimulatory role of Ang II in the activation of phagocytic cells, underscores the relevant role of ROS as mediators in this process and uncovers a variety of signalling pathways by which Ang II operates in human neutrophils.
