RESUMO

We studied the effect of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) on the plasma membrane ATP-dependent calcium pump in neutrophils. Plasma membrane-enriched fractions ("podosomes") from PMA-stimulated guinea pig neutrophils exhibited a twofold stimulation of ATP-dependent calcium transport when compared with control podosomes. The stimulatory effect was rapid (beginning less than 2 min after exposure to PMA) and reached maximal values within 5 min. PMA increased the maximum velocity but not the affinity of the calcium pump for Ca++. Pump activation was not preceded by a rise in cytosolic free calcium concentration [Ca++]i, as assessed by the intracellularly trapped fluorescent calcium indicator Quin 2, but instead slightly lowered [Ca++]i and prevented the rise in [Ca++]i normally induced by the chemotactic peptide formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine. These results suggest that the calcium pump in the plasma membrane of neutrophils may be stimulated by calcium-independent pathways, and that this activation could be one of the earliest events mediating some of the effects of phorbol esters.
