Description
| Description | U73122, an effective PLC inhibitor, reduces agonist-induced Ca2+ increases in platelets and PMN. |
| Kinase Assay | PMNs (4×107/4 mL) are incubated with U-73122 according to protocols. The reactions are stopped with cold calcium-free PBS. The cells are centrifuged at 750 × g (4°C) and resuspended in 1 mL of Triton X-100-free extraction buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 50 mM fimercaptoethanol, 2 mM EGTA, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and 4 μg/mL of leupeptin, soybean trypsin inhibitor and aprotinin), and then sonicated for 10- and 5-sec consecutive bursts at 20% output. The lysates are centrifuged at 240 × g (4°C) for 20 mm in a TL-100 ultracentrifuge with the supernatant designated as the cytosol fraction. The pellet is resuspended in 1% Triton-containing extraction buffer, sonicated, shaken for 30 mm at 4°C and centrifuged (240 × g for 20 mm at 4°C). The supernatant constitutes the extractable particulate fraction, and the pellet is sonicated in extraction buffer with Triton and constituted the nonextractable particulate fraction. |
| Cell Research | U-73122 is dissolved in DMSO. Agonist-induced production of IP3 in PMN is measured by use of the competitive radiobinding assy. PMN (2 x 106-107) in 0.2 mL of phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.4 [NaC1 (138 mM), Na2HPO4 (8.1 mM), KH2PO4 (1.5 mM), KCI (2.7 mM), CaCl2 (1.0 mM), MgC12 (1.0 mM) and glucose (0.1%, w/v)] are incubated in conical polypropylene tubes at 37°C in a shaking water bath. U-73122 or U-73343 is added (in 1 μL of DMSO) 3 min before the addition of agonist, FMLP (0.1 μM) plus cytochalasin B (5 μg/mL). FMLP and cytochalasin B are added in 1 μL each of DMSO and ethanol, respectively. Appropriate vehicle controls are included in each experiment. PMN incubation mixtures are quenched with the addition of 0.07 mL of ice-cold TCA (20%, w/v) and a portion (0.2 mL) of the TCA extract is processed for the measurement of IP3 by competitive radiobinding as described above for platelets. |
