In formyl peptide stimulated human neutrophils the enhancement of O2.- responses by ATP and ATP S requires extracellular calcium. In contrast, the inhibitory effects of adenosine are independent of a calcium requirement. Rates of O2.- generation are not affected by these adenine compounds. Rather, ATP and ATP S cause a sustained period of generation whereas adenosine causes an abrupt early termination of the O2- response. The differing calcium requirements for regulatory effects of adenine compounds on O2.- responses of stimulated neutrophils suggests that ATP (or ATP gamma S) and adenosine may exert their effects at different points in the pathway of signal transduction events. |
