Human neutrophils when exposed to appropriate stimuli aggregate, generate O⨪2and secrete lysosomal constituents. To determine whether a causal relationship may exist between these responses neutrophils were exposed to eitherN-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, phorbol myristate acetate, or the two calcium ionophores, A23187 and prostaglandin Bx. Each agent elicited all of the above responses. The concentrations required to elicit the aggregation of 30·106neutrophils/ml were comparable to that required for O⨪2generation or lysozyme release. In a series of experiments designed to dissociate these responses, cells were suspended in a concentration too dilute (3·106neutrophils/ml) to permit aggregation to occur, O⨪2generation and lysozyme release was measurable and varied in a dose-dependent fashion to the concentration of stimulus. In a second series of experiments, neutrophils were treated with 4,4′-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid to inhibit degranulation without affecting O⨪2generation. Aggregation was inhibited in a parallel fashion with lysozyme release. When detectable O⨪2was removed from the medium by superoxide dismutase and catalase, aggregation and lysozyme release proceeded unaffected showing that aggregation can not be due to the presence of O⨪2or its products in the extracellular medium. Neither aggregation of resting cells nor augmentation of fMet-Leu-Phe-induced aggregation was observed when cells were exposed to either supernatants of degranulated neutrophils or constituents of specific granules (lysozyme, lactoferrin). Kinetic analysis showed that in the absence of cytochalasin B degranulation preceded aggregation, while in its presence aggregation preceded degranulation.
