| Popis: | To gain direct access to the secretory machinery and study the regulation, mechanisms, and effectors of Ca2+-dependent neutrophil secretion, we developed an efficient and reproducible method of plasma membrane permeabilization using streptolysin O. We confirmed previous studies that permeabilized neutrophils secrete in response to calcium alone, but we also found that the Ca2+ dose-response is biphasic. Secretion is detectable at 80 microM Ca2+, secretion is two- to threefold greater than at lower [Ca2+], suggesting that two distinct mechanisms of Ca2+-dependent secretion that differ in their affinity for Ca2+ exist in neutrophils. Although permeabilization allows 100% leak of lactate dehydrogenase, maximum secretion from permeabilized cells is 80% that of f-met-leu-phe-stimulated intact cells, indicating that the essential components of the Ca2+-dependent secretory apparatus are predominantly, if not entirely, membrane bound. Permeabilization causes leakage of 100% of annexins V and VI, but 41% of annexin I and 12% of annexin III are retained. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that retained annexins I and III are associated with granule membranes. Addition of soluble annexins I and III to permeabilized cells increased Ca2+-induced secretion up to 15% and 90%, respectively, implying that both annexins participate in this secretory pathway. While annexin V is not required for secretion, it inhibits the low Ca2+-affinity mechanism of secretion. |
