Migration activated by fMet-Leu-Phe is inhibited by GTP[S] and is little affected by protein kinase C inhibitors. We investigated the effects of GTP[S] and the protein kinase C inhibitor AMG-C16 on dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DiC8)-activated migration of rabbit neutrophils and compared them with the effects on fMet-Leu-Phe-activated migration and random migration. GTP[S] did not inhibit DiC8-activated migration or random migration but inhibited fMet-Leu-Phe-activated migration. AMG-C16 gave a strong inhibition of DiC8-activated migration but had only a small effect on fMet-Leu-Phe-activated migration and random migration. When fMet-Leu-Phe and DiC8 were added together in suboptimal concentrations an additive effect was found. Pretreatment with the diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor R59022 enhanced random migration. The enhancement was completely inhibited by AMG-C16 and was unaffected by GTP[S]. These findings suggest that DiC8-activated migration and fMet-Leu-Phe-activated migration are controlled by different pathways.

D008262 Macrophage Activation The process of altering the morphology and functional activity of macrophages so that they become avidly phagocytic. It is initiated by lymphokines, such as the macrophage activation factor (MAF) and the macrophage migration-inhibitory factor (MMIF), immune complexes, C3b, and various peptides, polysaccharides, and immunologic adjuvants. Activation, Macrophage,Activations, Macrophage,Macrophage Activations
D009240 N-Formylmethionine Leucyl-Phenylalanine A formylated tripeptide originally isolated from bacterial filtrates that is positively chemotactic to polymorphonuclear leucocytes, and causes them to release lysosomal enzymes and become metabolically activated.

D010972 Platelet Activating Factor A phospholipid derivative formed by PLATELETS; BASOPHILS; NEUTROPHILS; MONOCYTES; and MACROPHAGES. It is a potent platelet aggregating agent and inducer of systemic anaphylactic symptoms, including HYPOTENSION; THROMBOCYTOPENIA; NEUTROPENIA; and BRONCHOCONSTRICTION.

D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
