Levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) (but not cyclic GMP) in suspensions of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) increased promptly after exposure of the cells to stimuli such as the chemotactic peptide N-formyl methionyl leucyl phenylalanine, the immune complex bovine serum albumin/anti-bovine serum albumin and calcium ionophore A23187. cAMP increased rapidly, reaching a maximum of twice the basal level 10--45 s after stimulation; after 2--5 min the amount of cAMP had subsided to basal levels. Elevations in cAMP levels were concurrent with, or followed, membrane hyperpolarization (measured by uptake of the lipophilic cation triphenylmethyl phosphonium) and always preceded lysosomal enzyme release and superoxide anion (O2) production. Elevated cAMP levels could be uncoupled from these later events by removal of extracellular divalent cations, replacement of extracellular Na+ with K+ or choline+, and by use of low concentrations of stimulus; each of these conditions virtually abolished lysosomal enzyme release and O2 generation, while leaving the stimulated elevation of cAMP levels unimpaired. Calcium ionophore A23187 did not provoke membrane hyperpolarization, thus uncoupling changes in membrane potential from changes in cAMP levels. These data suggested that cAMP is not a critical component in the earliest steps of stimulus-secretion coupling. Surface stimulation of cells pretreated with prostaglandins E1 or I2 yielded very high levels of cAMP; these high levels may be an important part of the mechanism by which stable prostaglandins inhibit lysosomal enzyme release and O2 generation.
