1 Incubation of rat peritoneal neutrophils in medium containing various concentrations of staurosporine (6.4–64 nM) increased the neutrophil chemotactic activity in the conditioned medium in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. 2 Separation of the neutrophil chemotactic activity in the conditioned medium by isoelectric focusing revealed that staurosporine (64 nM) stimulated the production of basic (pH>8) neutrophil chemotactic factors, while TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, 49 nM) stimulated the production of both basic (pH>8) and acidic (pH 5) neutrophil chemotactic factors. 3 Determination by immunoassay of cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-1, -2α, -2β and -3 in the conditioned medium at 4 h revealed that staurosporine (64 nM) and TPA (49 nM) strongly stimulated the production of CINC-3 (staurosporine, 133.0±3.8; TPA, 26.7±1.0; control, 0.32±0.01 ng ml−1, means±s.e.mean from four samples) compared to CINC-1 (staurosporine, 55.0±1.2; TPA, 12.2±0.3; control, 0.56±0.01 ng ml−1), and CINC-2α (staurosporine, 1.09±0.03; TPA, 0.90±0.02; control |
