Changes in the endogenous synthesis of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) mass have been quantitated in human peripheral neutrophils stimulated with FMLP, LTB4 and PAF using a recently described, highly specific radioreceptor assay. Each agonist induced a concentration-dependent synthesis of IP3 which was detectable within 10 seconds after stimulation. IP3 production was short-lived, returning to basal levels within 90 seconds. The maximal stimulated level of IP3 in response to FMLP and LTB4 was 30-50 50 pmoles/10(7) neutrophils. PAF was more effective (approximately 100 pmoles IP3/10(7) neutrophils). The response to FMLP was inhibited by pertussis toxin, but was unaffected by cholera toxin. Pretreatment with cytochalasin B did not enhance IP3 synthesis. These findings are generally consistent with previous studies employing [3H]myo-inositol-prelabeled cells, and provide one of the first measurements of IP3 synthesis by mass in agonist-stimulated human neutrophils.

D002772	Cholera Toxin	An ENTEROTOXIN from VIBRIO CHOLERAE. It consists of two major protomers, the heavy (H) or A subunit and the B protomer which consists of 5 light (L) or B subunits. The catalytic A subunit is proteolytically cleaved into fragments A1 and A2. The A1 fragment is a MONO(ADP-RIBOSE) TRANSFERASE. The B protomer binds cholera toxin to intestinal epithelial cells and facilitates the uptake of the A1 fragment. The A1 catalyzed transfer of ADP-RIBOSE to the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G PROTEINS activates the production of CYCLIC AMP. Increased levels of cyclic AMP are thought to modulate release of fluid and electrolytes from intestinal crypt cells.
