The antitubulins demecolcine and podophyllic acid ethylhydrazide (SPI) were used in experiments designed to elucidate the role of centriole-associated cytoplasmic microtubules in the locomotion of human neutrophil granulocytes (PMNs). The PMN locomotion was studied as chemotaxis and as the velocity of random movement. The PMN chemotaxis was inhibited by demecolcine (0.01 μg/ml) and SPI (0.1 μg/ml), i.e. concentrations below the reported threshold ones for mitotic arrest in metaphase. The velocity of single PMNs during random movement was only slightly reduced by treatment with 0.5 μg/ml of SPI. PMN locomotion was not appreciably inhibited by SPI, 0.5 μg/ml. The discrepancies mentioned suggest that centriole-associated microtubules are essential structures in the PMN direction-finding or PMN directional movement of chemotaxis but not in the mechanism of PMN locomotion. The present observations might, at least in part, explain the beneficial effects of antitubulins on acute gout.
