Neutrophils exhibit an intense phosphorylation of a 47 kDa protein and release large quantities of superoxide (O2−) upon stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP). Antagonists of protein kinases (e.g., 200 μM 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7); 15 nM staurosporine) inhibited these phenomena when the stimulus was PMA (Badwey, J.A. et al. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 14947–14953). In this paper, we now report that while neutrophils treated with 15 nM staurosporine and PMA release little O2−, cells in the presence of these compounds can be stimulated to release near normal quantities of O2−by the subsequent addition of fMLP. Surprisingly, staurosporine (15 nM) reduced the incorporation of32P into the 47 kDa protein in fMLP stimulated cells at least as effectively as H-7, yet, while the staurosporine treated cells released substantial amounts of O2−, the cells treated with H-7 did not. These data suggest that a stimulatory pathway exists in neutrophils that contains a protein kinase ‘distinct’ from that which is activated when PMA is the stimulus and that this pathway may enable the O2−producing system to become functional with little or no phosphorylation of the 47 kDa protein. They further suggest that the steps which are sensitive to H-7 in the signal-transduction pathways utilized by PMA and fMLP may be different.
