Abstract
The diacylglycerol kinase inhibitors, R59022 and dioctanoylethylene glycol (diC8-eg), potentiate stimulation of the respiratory burst by the chemotactic tripeptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) in human neutrophils. However, in contrast to the potentiation observed in intact cells, neither R59022 nor diC8-eg enhanced the effect of fMLP on O2 consumption in electropermeabilized neutrophils, under conditions where cytosolic [Ca2+] was held constant using EGTA. In unstimulated, intact cells treatment with the diacylglycerol kinase inhibitors elicited an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i). The results suggest that enhancement of the respiratory burst by diC8-eg and R59022 is mediated by a rise in [Ca2+]i, rather than by inhibition of diacylglycerol kinase.
