Abstrakt: The importance of the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i ) in neutrophil function has been intensely studied. However, the role of the intracellular Na + concentration ([Na + ] i ) which is closely linked to the intracellular Ca 2+ regulation has been largely overlooked. The [Na + ] i is regulated by Na + transport proteins such as the Na + /Ca 2+ -exchanger (NCX1), Na + /K + -ATPase, and Na + -permeable, transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel. Stimulating with either N-formylmethionine-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF) or complement protein C5a causes distinct changes of the [Na + ] i . fMLF induces a sustained increase of [Na + ] i , surprisingly, reaching higher values in TRPM2 -/- neutrophils. This outcome is unexpected and remains unexplained. In both genotypes, C5a elicits only a transient rise of the [Na + ] i . The difference in [Na + ] i measured at t = 10 min after stimulation is inversely related to neutrophil chemotaxis. Neutrophil chemotaxis is more efficient in C5a than in an fMLF gradient. Moreover, lowering the extracellular Na + concentration from 140 to 72 mM improves chemotaxis of WT but not of TRPM2 -/- neutrophils. Increasing the [Na + ] i by inhibiting the Na + /K + -ATPase results in disrupted chemotaxis. This is most likely due to the impact of the altered Na + homeostasis and presumably NCX1 function whose expression was shown by means of qPCR and which critically relies on proper extra- to intracellular Na + concentration gradients. Increasing the [Na + ] i by a few mmol/l may suffice to switch its transport mode from forward (Ca 2+ -efflux) to reverse (Ca 2+ -influx) mode. The role of NCX1 in neutrophil chemotaxis is corroborated by its blocker, which also causes a complete inhibition of chemotaxis.
