Regulation of polymorphonuclear leukocyte phagocytosis by myosin light chain kinase after activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase

Pamela J. Mansfield, James A. Shayman, and Laurence A. Boxer

From the Departments of Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI.

Polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) phagocytosis mediated by Fcgamma RII proceeds in concert with activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase ERK2. We hypothesized that myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) could be phosphorylated and activated by ERK, thereby linking the MAP kinase pathway to the activation of cytoskeletal components required for pseudopod formation. To explore this potential linkage, PMNLs were challenged with antibody-coated erythrocytes (EIgG). Peak MLCK activity, 3-fold increased over controls, occurred at 4 to 6 minutes, corresponding with the peak rate of target ingestion and ERK2 activity. The MLCK inhibitor ML-7 (10 µmol/L) inhibited both phagocytosis and MLCK activity to basal values, thereby providing further support for the linkage between the functional response and the requirement for MLCK activation. The MAPK kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD098059 inhibited phagocytosis, MLCK activity, and ERK2 activity by 80% to 90%. To directly link ERK activation to MLCK activation, ERK2 was immunoprecipitated from PMNLs after EIgG ingestion. The isolated ERK2 was incubated with PMNL cytosol as a source of unactivated MLCK and with MLCK substrate; under these conditions ERK2 activated MLCK, resulting in phosphorylation of the MLCK substrate or of the myosin light chain itself. Because MLCK activates myosin, we evaluated the effect of directly inhibiting myosin adenosine triphosphatase using 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) and found that phagocytosis was inhibited by more than 90% but MLCK activity remained unaffected. These results are consistent with the interpretation that MEK activates ERK, ERK2 then activates MLCK, and MLCK activates myosin. MLCK activation is a critical step in the cytoskeletal changes resulting in pseudopod formation.
