The regulation of neutrophil functions by Type I cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGKI) was investigated in wild-type (WT) and cGKI-deficient (cGKI-/-) mice. We demonstrate that murine neutrophils expressed cGKIalpha. Similar to the regulation of Ca2+ by cGKI in other cells, there was a cGMP-dependent decrease in Ca2+ transients in response to C5a in WT, but not cGKI-/- bone marrow neutrophils. In vitro chemotaxis of bone marrow neutrophils to C5a or IL-8 was significantly greater in cGKI-/- than in WT. Enhanced chemotaxis was also observed with cGKI-/- peritoneal exudate neutrophils (PE-N). In vivo chemotaxis with an arachidonic acid-induced inflammatory ear model revealed an increase in both ear weight and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in ear punches of cGKI-/- vs WT mice. These changes were attributable to enhanced vascular permeability and increased neutrophil infiltration. The total extractable content of MPO, but not lysozyme, was significantly greater in cGKI-/- than in WT PE-N. Furthermore, the percentage of MPO released in response to fMLP from cGKI-/- (69%) was greater than that from WT PE-N (36%). PMA failed to induce MPO release from PE-N of either genotype. In contrast, fMLP and PMA released equivalent amounts of lysozyme from PE-N. However, the percentage released was less in cGKI-/- (approximately 60%) than in WT (approximately 90%) PE-N. Superoxide release (maximum velocity) revealed no genotype differences in responses to PMA or fMLP stimulation. In summary, these results show that cGKIalpha down-regulates Ca2+ transients and chemotaxis in murine neutrophils. The regulatory influences of cGKIalpha on the secretagogue responses are complex, depending on the granule subtype.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
