-cyclodextrin, which disrupts lipid rafts, inhibited IL-8-induced priming in response to fMLP. Our findings indicate that IL-8-induced priming of the oxidative burst in response to fMLP involves a sequential assembly of the NADPH oxidase components in the lipid rafts of neutrophils. | INTRODUCTION |

), which is the precursor of the other ROS. In resting cells, this multicomponent enzyme system is inactive, and its components are dispersed between the cytosol and the membranes. The flavocytochrome b558 component, which is composed of two subunits, gp91phox and p22phox, is located in the plasma membrane and in specific granules. The other components of the NADPH complex (p47phox, p67phox, p40phox, and small G protein Rac2) are cytosol proteins. The activation of neutrophils by various stimuli, such as bacterial N-formyl peptides (fMLP) and phorbol myristate acetate, triggers the phosphorylation of the p47phox, p67phox, and p40phox cytosolic components and their translocation to the plasma membrane, where they interact with flavocytochrome b558 (1-4). Concomitantly, Rac2 is dissociated from its inhibitor, RhoGDP dissociation inhibitors, and then interacts with flavocytochrome b558 to form a binding partner for p67phox (5). The. complete assembly of NADPH oxidase components is crucial for
production (6, 7).
The activation of NADPH oxidase is tightly regulated at infectious and inflammatory sites to avoid tissue and vascular lesions. Proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-8 (IL-8), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and tumor necrosis factor
, are known to modulate NADPH oxidase activity by means of a priming phenomenon that strengthens the bactericidal capacity of the neutrophils (8-12). These cytokines do not stimulate oxidative burst activity on their own, but strongly enhance ROS production in response to exposure to a secondary applied stimulus, such as fMLP. Partial p47phox phosphorylation has been shown to be induced by tumor necrosis factor
(13), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (14), and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (15) during the priming of the oxidative burst. Other priming mechanisms have also been described previously, including increased membrane expression of flavocytochrome b558 (15, 16), activation of heterotrimeric G proteins (17), and some other mechanisms (18, 19). Several mechanisms have been reported to be involved in the priming effect of IL-8. They include increased expression and cycling of fMLP receptors (fMLP-R) (20), increased intracellular-free Ca2+ (21), and increased phospholipase A2 activation (22). However, the effects of IL-8 on the transductional pathways that determine the kinetics and assembly of the various components of the NADPH oxidase complex, and which could contribute to the IL-8-induced priming of the oxidative burst, have yet to be investigated.
It has recently been shown that cholesterol-enriched detergent-resistant membrane microdomains (DRMs), or lipid rafts, play a key role in the fMLP-, phorbol myristate acetate-, and Fc
-dependent receptor activation of NADPH oxidase by triggering the recruitment and/or spatial orientation of cytosolic phox proteins relative to flavocytochrome b558 (23, 24). The involvement of lipid rafts in regulating neutrophil functions is suggested by the fact that the neutrophil oxidative burst can be severely curtailed by depleting the level of cholesterol in the plasma membranes using methyl-
-cyclodextrin (M
CD) (23, 25). It remains to be determined whether lipid raft microdomains play a regulatory role in the IL-8-induced priming of the oxidative burst in human neutrophils.
In this study, we analyzed the effects of IL-8, alone and when combined with fMLP, on the phosphorylation and/or translocation of p47phox, p67phox, and Rac2, the segregation of flavocytochrome b558 into DRMs, and the transduction pathways involved in these processes. The main findings of this study reveal that IL-8 induced in a sequential manner the phosphorylation of cytosol phox components and the recruitment of the NADPH oxidase components (including flavocytochrome b558) into lipid rafts, suggesting that this pre-assembly could play at least some part in the priming effect of IL-8 on the neutrophil oxidative burst triggered in response to N-formyl peptides.

-actin, cytochrome c, cytochalasin B, protease and phosphatase inhibitor mixture, and fluorescein-conjugated cholera toxin B subunit were purchased from Sigma. Endotoxin-free buffers and salt solutions were from Invitrogen (Cergy, France). Genistein, bisindolylmaleimide I (GFX109203X), SB203580, PD98059, LFM-A13, LFM-A11, and wortmannin were from Calbiochem (La Jolla, CA). Rabbit polyclonal anti-phospho-ERK1/2, anti-phospho-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), anti-p38 MAPK, anti-phospho-Akt/PKB. and anti-Akt/PKB antibodies were from Ozyme (St.-Quentin en Yvelines, France). The rabbit polyclonal anti-gp91phox antibody was from Euromedex (Mundolsheim, France). [32P]Orthophosphoric acid was from PerkinElmer Life Sciences. Isotype control, mouse monoclonal anti-flotillin-2/ESA, anti-Rac1, anti-Btk, and anti-fMLP receptor were purchased from BD Biosciences. The rabbit polyclonal anti-p47phox (a gift of B. M. Babior, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA) was raised against the 10 COOH-terminal residues of p47phox and purified, as previously described (26, 27). Rabbit polyclonal antibodies against the COOH-terminal sequence of p67phox were prepared as previously described (28). Alexa Fluor 546 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) and reagents for SDS-PAGE were from Invitrogen. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody and HyperfilmTM were from Amersham Biosciences. ECL reagents were from Perbio (Brebières, France). Neutrophil PreparationHuman neutrophils were obtained in lipopolysaccharide-free conditions by means of dextran sedimentation and Ficoll centrifugation as previously described (13).
Superoxide Anion Production AssaySuperoxide anion (
) production was continuously recorded for 5 min by monitoring the superoxide dismutase-inhibitable reduction of ferricytochrome c, using an UVIKON 860 spectrophotometer equipped with a thermostatted (37 °C) cuvette holder, as previously described (29). Superoxide production by 106 cells suspended in 1 ml of HBSS was triggered by adding the stimulus (fMLP
M). In addition, the priming effect of IL-8 on
production in response to fMLP was tested by pre-treating neutrophils (106 cells) at 37 °C with IL-8 at various concentrations (0.01-50 ng/ml) and for various incubation times (1-60 min).
production in response to fMLP (
M) was then measured for 5 min. In some experiments, samples were preincubated with M
CD (0.2 mg/ml, 30 min) before IL-8 and fMLP stimulation.
32P Labeling, Stimulation, and Fractionation of NeutrophilsNeutrophils were incubated in phosphate-free buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl, 5.7 mM KCl, 0.8 mM MgCl2, and 0.025% bovine serum albumin) (14) containing 0.5 mCi of [32P]orthophosphoric acid, 108 cells/ml for 60 min at 30 °C. The neutrophils were then incubated at 37 °C for 5 min before being exposed to IL-8 for 1-20 min. In some experiments the neutrophils were preincubated for 15 min with various kinase inhibitors before being treated with IL-8. In all cases, the reaction was stopped by adding ice-cold buffer and centrifugation at 400 x g for 7 min at 4 °C. The cells were lysed in lysis buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1 mg/ml NaF, 1 mg/ml Na3VO4, 0.5 mg/ml
-glycerophosphate, 0.5 mg/ml P-nitrophenyl phosphate, 0.2 mg/ml levamisol, 8% sucrose, 0.02 M Tris, pH 7.4, 0.5% Triton X-100, 2.5 mM EGTA, 5 mM EDTA, 10 µg/ml leupeptin, 10 µg/ml pepstatin, 10 µg/ml aprotinin, 2 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1 mg/ml DNase I, 2.5 mM diisopropyl fluorophosphate). The resuspension was sonicated on ice (3 times for 10 s). The lysate was centrifuged at 100,000 x g for 30 min at 4 °C in a TL100 ultracentrifuge (Beckman, Fullerton, CA), and cleared supernatants were used for immunoprecipitation studies.
Immunoprecipitation of p47phox and p67phoxThe cleared supernatant was incubated overnight with anti-p47phox (1/200) or anti-p67phox (1/200) antibodies; immune complexes were then immunoprecipitated using
-bind G-Sepharose beads (Amersham Biosciences), and washed four times as described (14).
Neutrophil Membrane PreparationNeutrophils were preincubated with 5 µM cytochalasin B for 5 min before being incubated with IL-8 (50 ng/ml, 3-20 min), with fMLP (10-7 M for 3 min), or with cytochalasin B, used as control. Membranes were then prepared as previously described (14). Briefly, 1 x 108 neutrophils/ml were sonicated for three 10-s periods on ice in 1 ml of relaxation buffer (10 mM Pipes, pH 7.3, 3 mM MgCl2, 100 mM KCl, 5 mM NaCl) supplemented with 0.5 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1 mM EGTA, 10 µg/ml eupeptic, and 10 µg/ml pepstatin. Cytosol and membrane fractions were separated by centrifuging at 200,000 x g on 15-50% (w/w) sucrose gradient for 45 min at 4 °C.
Preparation of Lipid RaftsLipid rafts were isolated as previously described (23). Neutrophils were incubated at 4 °C in buffer A (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.0, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100) for 30 min, homogenized by 50 up and down strokes in a Dounce homogenizer, after which 80% sucrose stock in buffer A was added to the cell lysate to give a final concentration of 40% sucrose. The mixture was then layered under a sucrose step gradient (30 and 5% in buffer A) and centrifuged at 150,000 x g for 18 h at 4 °C. Detergent-insoluble, cholesterolrich membrane fractions, representing membrane rafts, floated to the interphase between 5 and 30% sucrose layers, whereas solubilized proteins or cytoskeleton-associated, detergent-insoluble proteins remained in the pellet of the gradient. After spinning, 10 fractions were collected from the top of the tubes, and the pellet was solubilized by sonication.
Electrophoresis and BlottingThe samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE in 10% polyacrylamide gels or NuPAGE® Novex 4-12% BisTris gels, using standard techniques and Invitrogen techniques, respectively. The separated proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose. After blocking in 1% milk, the membrane was probed with the anti-p47phox (1/5000 dilution), -p67phox (1/1000 dilution), -Rac2 (1/1000 dilution), -gp91phox (1/1000 dilution), -p22phox (1/100 dilution), -P-ERK1/2 (1/1000 dilution), or -P-p38 MAPK (1/1000 dilution) antibodies, and then with species-specific horseradish peroxidase-labeled goat anti-rabbit or mouse antibodies, and developed with an ECL kit, using light-sensitive film (Amersham Biosciences).
Densitometric analysis was performed using the Scion Image analysis program from National Institutes of Health. Results from DRM experiments were expressed as the percentage of NADPH oxidase components in the DRMs (fractions 2-5).

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy AnalysisAfter stimulation, the neutrophils (2 x 106/ml) were pooled and stained with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated cholera toxin B subunit (10 µg/ml) and/or anti-rabbit polyclonal p22phox antibody raised against extracellular epitopes of the p22phox protein (1/10 dilution) for 30 min at 4 °C. After rinsing with phosphate-buffered saline, the samples were incubated with an Alexa 546-conjugated affinity purified goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/250) for 30 min at 4 °C. After extensive rinsing, neutrophils were then fixed in 1% paraformaldehyde and cytospun. Glass coverslides were mounted and examined by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM-510-META, Zeiss, Germany) equipped with epifluorescent optics (x63 NA 1.3 oil-immersion objective). Simultaneous two-channel recording was performed with a pinhole size of 90 µm using excitation wavelengths of 488/588 nm, a 510/580 double dichroic mirror, and a 515-545 bandpass fluorescein isothiocyanate filter together with a 590-nm long pass filter. Double-labeled cells were analyzed separately to avoid leakage from one channel to another. As controls, the absence of staining was confirmed when the primary antibody was omitted.
Statistical AnalysisAll results are expressed as mean ± S.E. Significant differences were identified using Student's t test. p < 0.05 was taken to be significant.

production in response to fMLP and/or IL-8 monitored by ferricytochrome c reduction assay are presented in Fig. 1A. Incubation of isolated neutrophils with 10-7 M of fMLP induced the rapid and transient production of
, whereas incubation with 50 ng/ml of IL-8 did not. The latter result was obtained regardless of the concentration of IL-8 (0.01-50 ng/ml) or the incubation time (2-45 min) used (not shown). In contrast, pre-exposure of the neutrophils to IL-8 (50 ng/ml) for 3 or 15 min enhanced both the initial. and maximum rates of
production subsequently induced by 10-7 M fMLP, whereas exposure to 1 ng/ml IL-8 did not. As previously reported (21), these findings suggest that IL-8 has a dose- and time-dependent priming effect on the
production induced by fMLP. Pre-exposure of neutrophils for 20 min with increasing concentrations of IL-8 (0.01-50 ng/ml) enhanced the total production of
induced by fMLP in a dose-dependent manner, up to a maximum response at 50 ng/ml IL-8 (Fig. 1B). The results from the kinetics study showed that the priming effect of IL-8 (50 ng/ml) on
production first appeared after 2 min, and then progressively increased to plateau after incubating for 10 min (Fig. 1C).
. production was inhibited by superoxide dismutase and diphenyleneiodonium, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase (not shown). Incubating neutrophils with neutralizing anti-IL-8 monoclonal antibody before adding the IL-8 and fMLP abolished ROS production (not shown). This finding rules out the possibility that endotoxin contamination was responsible for the priming effect of IL-8.

on the neutrophil-induced oxidative burst has been associated with specific, site-directed phosphorylations of the p47phox (13, 14) and p67phox (30). We therefore analyzed the effect of IL-8 on the phosphorylation status of p47phox and p67phox. Short incubation times (1-5 min) with 50 ng/ml of IL-8 alone significantly increased p47phox phosphorylation compared with untreated cells, with a peak effect occurring after 3 min (Fig. 2A). The level of p47phox phosphorylation rapidly decreased after longer incubation times (5-15 min) with IL-8 (Fig. 2A), suggesting that IL-8 induced transient phosphorylation of p47phox in neutrophils. In contrast, IL-8 had a more delayed stimulating effect on the level of p67phox phosphorylation, which increased significantly only after being incubated for 10 min (Fig. 2B). For short (3 min) and longer (15 min) preincubation times, IL-8 (50 ng/ml) always significantly increased the levels of p47phox and p67phox phosphorylation produced by 10-7 M fMLP (Fig. 3, A and B). These results suggested that IL-8 may trigger the sequential phosphorylations of p47phox and p67phox, which were potentiated in response to fMLP in parallel to
. production. Transductional Pathways Involved in IL-8-mediated Phosphorylation of p47phox and p67phoxWe then tested the effects of various kinase inhibitors after 32P labeling of neutrophils and immunoprecipitation of p47phox and p67phox to investigate the signaling pathways leading to their phosphorylation under IL-8 priming conditions. Genistein, a broad-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and wortmannin, a PI3K inhibitor, reduced the IL-8-induced phosphorylation of both p47phox and p67phox (Fig. 4, A and B). Among the tyrosine kinases, the Tec kinases, and especially Btk, has been shown to contribute to fMLP-induced neutrophil responses by modulating the MAPK and PI3K/Akt/PKB pathways (31). The role of Btk during the IL-8 priming process was previously unknown. Here we have shown that IL-8 treatment induced a rapid but transient (3-5 min) membrane translocation of Btk (Fig. 4C). In addition, leflunomide metabolite analog LFM-A13, a Btk inhibitor, significantly reduced the IL-8-induced phosphorylation of p47phox and p67phox (Fig. 4, A and B), whereas the inactive analog (LFM-A11) had no such inhibitory effect. We next analyzed the effect of IL-8 on PKC, Akt/PKB, ERK1/2, and p38 MAPK, which are involved in the p47phox and/or p67phox phosphorylation in response to various stimuli (32, 33). Preincubation with GF109203X, a PKC inhibitor, significantly reduced the level of early (3 min) IL-8-induced p47phox phosphorylation (Fig. 4A), but had no effect on the level of later (15 min) IL-8-induced p67phox phosphorylation (Fig. 4B). Furthermore, ERK1/2 and Akt/PKB phosphorylation transiently peaked after exposure to IL-8 for 3 min (Fig. 4C). The data showed that PD98059, a MEK1/2 inhibitor, reduced the level of the early (3 min) IL-8-induced phosphorylation of p47phox. Conversely, no inhibitory effect of PD98059 was detected on the later (15 min) IL-8-induced phosphorylation of p67phox (Fig. 4B). After 5 min, IL-8 triggered the activation of p38 MAPK, which slowly declined during the following 20-min incubation period (Fig. 4C). Consistently with these results, SB203580, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, significantly reduced the level of late (15 min) IL-8-induced p67phox phosphorylation (Fig. 4B). Taken together, these findings strongly suggest that ERK1/2 is involved in the early IL-8-induced p47phox phosphorylation, and that p38 MAPK is involved in the late IL-8-induced p67phox phosphorylation. Furthermore, LFM-A13, a Btk inhibitor, significantly reduced the IL-8-induced early activation of ERK1/2 and Akt/PKB, and the IL-8-induced late activation of p38 MAPK (Fig. 4D). Thus, Btk seems to be involved in the upstream transduction pathways leading to the phosphorylation of p47phox and p67phox.
IL-8 Induced the Sequential Translocation of p47phox, p67phox, and Rac2 to the Plasma Membrane in a Time-dependent MannerThe phosphorylation of the cytosol components p47phox and p67phox induced by stimuli such as phorbol myristate acetate or fMLP has been implicated in their translocation to the plasma membrane, and their subsequent assembly at flavocytochrome b558 (28, 34). The membrane translocation-dependent activation of Rac2 has also been shown to control NADPH oxidase activity by means of its direct interaction with p67phox and flavocytochrome b558 (5, 35-37). We therefore investigated the time dependence of the effect of IL-8 treatment of neutrophils on the membrane translocation of p47phox, p67phox, and Rac2. IL-8 induced the rapid translocation of p47phox and Rac2 into the neutrophil plasma membranes within 3 min (2.1 ± 0.2- and 2.6 ± 0.2-fold increases, respectively, as compared with time 0 value) (mean ± S.E., n = 3), whereas p67phox was only detected in the membranes after incubating the neutrophils with IL-8 for 5 min. The level of p47phox and Rac2 translocation declined as the incubation times with IL-8 were increased from 3 to 15 min, but they remained detectable in plasma membranes for incubation times of up to 15 min. p67phox remained at the same level after incubation times with IL-8 of 5-15 min (2.4 ± 0.2-fold increase as compared with time 0 value) (mean ± S.E., n = 3) (Fig. 5). Inhibitors of signaling pathways involved in p47phox and p67phox phosphorylation (see Fig. 4, A and B) abolished the IL-8-induced translocation of these two components (not shown).

(Fig. 1B).
IL-8 Induced the Sequential Translocation of Cytosol p47phox, p67phox, and Rac2 into Lipid Rafts in a Time-dependent MannerDRM microdomains, or lipid rafts, are thought to play important roles in signal transduction, and are believed to act as scaffolds for the assembly of cytosol factors required for holoenzyme assembly. Recently, Shao et al. (24) have reported that the cytosol NADPH oxidase components are recruited into lipid rafts in response to Fc
receptor activation and fMLP stimulation. These findings led us to analyze the effect of IL-8 on the segregation of cytosol NADPH oxidase components to form lipid rafts. Membrane preparations of untreated and IL-8-treated neutrophils were fractionated by flotation centrifugation and then subjected to Western blot analyses. The low-density membrane fractions (fractions 2-5 from the top of the layer) extracted at 4 °C contained the DRM marker flotillin-2 (Fig. 7A). As expected (38, 39), flotillin-2 was no longer detected in membranes that had been treated with two cholesterol-affecting drugs: 0.2 mg/ml M
CD for 30 min at 37 °C or 0.4% saponin for 60 min at 4 °C (Fig. 7A). Very small amounts of the cytosol components p47phox, p67phox, and Rac2 were detected in DRMs from resting neutrophils (Fig. 7B) (1.4 ± 0.1, 2.6 ± 0.1, and 0.4% ± 0.1 of the total amount of p47phox, p67phox, and Rac2, respectively) (mean ± S.E., n = 3). A short incubation (3 min) with IL-8 increased the amounts of p47phox and Rac2 detected in DRMs, but had no effect on the translocation of p67phox (Fig. 7B). Conversely, a longer incubation time (15 min) with IL-8 reduced the relative amount of p47phox and Rac2, and increased the level of p67phox in DRMs (Fig. 7B). Densitometric analysis of the Western blots indicated that the percentage of p47phox and Rac2 in low density fractions 2-5 were 12.1 ± 0.2 and 20.2% ± 0.2 of the total amount of p47phox and Rac2, respectively (mean ± S.E., n = 3). The percentage of p67phox was 19.9% ± 0.2 (mean ± S.E., n = 3). In addition, preincubating neutrophils with IL-8 potentiated the translocation of p47phox, p67phox, and Rac2 into DRMs induced by fMLP (Fig. 7C) (by a factor of 1.5 ± 0.1, 2.0 ± 0.1, and 2.2 ± 0.1 for 3 min incubation and 3.2 ± 0.2, 6 ± 0.2, and 4.2 ± 0.1 for 15 min incubation, respectively) (mean ± S.E., n = 3) as compared with fMLP alone. This effect was observed whatever the incubation time (3 or 15 min). These results confirmed the data from translocation experiments (Fig. 5).

To further define the polarized distributions of GM1 and p22phox after incubating with IL-8 for 15 min, we used confocal light scanning microscopy to analyze (Fig. 8C) serial slices (1 µm thick) taken from the top to the bottom of the same un-permeabilized neutrophils. After incubating with IL-8 for 15 min, raft marker GM1 (green) was clearly localized at the top of the neutrophils, while p22phox (red) localized at the bottom with little overlap of these two markers, as shown in Fig. 8A. This polarized distribution was not detected in resting neutrophils, or in neutrophils that had been exposed to IL-8 for 3 min.
The IL-8-induced segregation of gp91phox and p22phox in DRMs was greatly amplified following fMLP stimulation as compared with the effect of fMLP alone (Fig. 9A). Adding fMLP also increased the co-localization of both GM1 and p22phox in the plasma membranes of unpermeabilized neutrophils following initial priming with IL-8 for 3 or 15 min (Fig. 9B).

CD inhibited signaling pathways induced by IL-8 or by low concentrations of fMLP in neutrophils (52). However, no significant decrease of both signaling events or functional responses were observed when neutrophils were stimulated with 100 nM or higher concentrations of fMLP in the presence of M
CD. For these reasons, we analyzed the effects of various concentrations of M
CD, which inhibit the oxidase pre-assembly (data not shown) and disrupt lipid rafts (Fig. 7A), on the production of
in IL-8-primed neutrophils (Fig. 9C). Pre-exposure of neutrophils for 30 min with M
CD (0.2 mg/ml) without or with IL-8 (3 or 15 min, 50 ng/ml) did not induce a significant production of
(Fig. 9C). As expected, pre-exposure with M
CD did not modify the response to fMLP. Moreover, the IL-8-mediated priming in response to fMLP was inhibited by pre-exposure with M
CD.

The lack of significant NADPH oxidase activity in neutrophils treated by IL-8 alone may suggest that the cytosol components of the oxidase are not totally mobilized in response to IL-8 treatment. Previous studies have shown that the assembly of an active NADPH oxidase at the plasma membrane depends on the phosphorylation of several sites of p47phox (34, 40), and of more restricted sites of p67phox (41, 42). Here we have shown that IL-8 exerted a dual effect on the phosphorylation of p47phox and p67phox by enhancing rapid phosphorylation of p47phox and later phosphorylation of p67phox. These sequential phosphorylation kinetics of p47phox and p67phox correlated with the induction by IL-8 of early and transient activation of ERK1/2, followed by the later activation of p38 MAPK in neutrophils (43, 44). Furthermore, PD98059 and SB203580 (inhibitors of the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK pathways respectively) blocked the p47phox phosphorylation induced by a short incubation time (3 min) with IL-8, and the p67phox phosphorylation induced by a longer (15 min) incubation with IL-8, respectively, as well as their subsequent translocation.
Thus, IL-8 induced the phosphorylation of p47phox and p67phox with different kinetic patterns that diverge from the accepted model required for the full activation of NADPH oxidase. Moreover, the mechanisms of IL-8-induced priming differ from those previously reported for tumor necrosis factor
and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, which have been shown to involve the partial phosphorylation of p47phox and the phosphorylation of a subpopulation of p67phox without any translocation of these components to the plasma membrane; in this model this partial phosphorylation may facilitate the fMLP-induced subsequent phosphorylation of the cytosol components, and therefore their translocation to the membrane (32). In contrast, fMLP and IL-8 (both of which are chemotactic agents binding to the G protein-coupled receptors) seem to share similar signaling pathways leading to similar kinetics of p47phox phosphorylation. fMLP-induced
production is associated with both the upstream/downstream kinase-dependent phosphorylation, and with the translocation of p47phox and p67phox to the plasma membrane (6). p47phox phosphorylation in response to fMLP stimulation has been shown to be directly triggered by certain PKC isoforms, MAPK and Akt/PKB (32, 45-48). Among the MAPKs, ERK1/2 have been shown to mediate the fMLP-stimulated phosphorylation of p47phox, whereas inhibition of p38 MAPK had little impact on p47phox phosphorylation (32, 33). The combined phosphorylation of p47phox by ERK1/2, Akt/PKB, and PKC leads to the translocation of p47phox to the plasma membrane, and to the induction of the adapter function, responsible for the assembly of NADPH oxidase. In addition, direct p38 MAPK-dependent phosphorylation and the subsequent translocation of p67phox is observed in response to fMLP stimulation of neutrophils (49). However, the rapid activation of p38 MAPK in response to fMLP stimulation appeared to be delayed in time when the neutrophils had been exposed to IL-8. Despite the fact that p67phox can be phosphorylated by both ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK at several selective sites in response to fMLP stimulation (41), we could not detect any early ERK-dependent phosphorylation of p67phox in response to IL-8 stimulation. Tyrosine kinases and PI3K have also been shown to control downstream signaling pathways, leading to a successful phosphorylation of p47phox and p67phox by fMLP. On the basis of the effects of the inhibitors tested (genistein and wortmannin), we showed that the IL-8-induced phosphorylation of both p47phox and p67phox depended on the upstream activation of tyrosine kinase and PI3K. Among the tyrosine kinases, the Tec kinases, and especially Btk has recently been shown to be involved in fMLP signaling, thus providing a direct link between G protein-coupled receptors and activation of the tyrosine kinases (31). Activation of the Tec kinases is mediated in part by the high affinity of their pleckstrin homology domains for phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-P3 (50), which is generated following the activation of PI3K. We have shown that IL-8 treatment induces membrane translocation of Btk. Furthermore, after adding LFM-A13, an inhibitor of Btk, we observed the inhibition of the IL-8-induced activation of the MAPK and Akt/PKB pathways reminiscent of previous results obtained after fMLP stimulation (31). LFM-A13 also inhibited both p47phox and p67phox phosphorylation induced by IL-8 treatment. Thus, Btk appears to be critically involved in initiating the tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent signaling cascades leading to the phosphorylation of both p47phox and p67phox following IL-8 treatment of neutrophils, in a similar manner to fMLP.

The contribution of lipid rafts to the efficient activation of NADPH oxidase has been investigated in neutrophils, and suggests that the assembly of the enzyme complex depends on multiple, cooperative binding and signaling interactions that are greatly facilitated in a raft environment (24, 52). Here, we have provided the first evidence that the IL-8-induced intracellular signaling events may trigger the redistribution of the NADPH oxidase components into raft microdomains. In fact, we observed that short-term IL-8 treatment enhanced the insertion of the membrane-spanning flavocytochrome b558 into DRMs in parallel with the rapid translocation of p47phox and Rac2. Conversely, long-term IL-8 treatment generally failed to recruit the flavocytochrome b558 into DRMs, but did enhance the translocation of p67phox into the lipid microdomains. This suggests that once flavocytochrome b558 has been incorporated into DRMs it is able to move laterally into non-detergent-resistant microdomains. Moreover, previous data have demonstrated that IL-8 induces significant degranulation of neutrophils after exposure for only 10 min, thus increasing the level of flavocytochrome b558 at the neutrophil surface (53). This pool of flavocytochrome b558 might be mobilized into DRMs in response to fMLP stimulation, which would constitute another potential mechanism for the IL-8-induced long-term priming. These various mechanisms play critical roles in the IL-8-induced priming of the oxidative burst in response to fMLP, as demonstrated by the inhibition of IL-8-mediated priming in response to fMLP by M
CD. Moreover, lipid rafts have been shown to be involved in modulating a number of intracellular signaling pathways and functional responses in neutrophils. Disruption of the integrity of the DRMs by cholesterol-affecting agents, such as M
CD, is known to alter intracellular signaling events and functional responses in neutrophils. M
CD interferes with the membrane-dependent initiation of tyrosine phosphorylation (25), inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 induced by IL-8 (52), increases the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, and inhibits NADPH oxidase activity. These findings thus suggest that lipid microdomains may mediate the efficiency of the oxidase by coupling NADPH oxidase components to certain intracellular signaling pathways in neutrophils.
Our study indicates that, in accordance with the widely accepted role of lipid rafts as signaling platforms, IL-8 induced the sequential preassembly and recruitment of the NADPH oxidase components in DRMs. It also suggested that lipid rafts are essential for the signaling events triggered by IL-8. This implies that lipid rafts must have important regulatory functions in chemoattractant-mediated responses in neutrophils. A better understanding of the role of raft microdomains in the priming of the neutrophils oxidative burst should provide valuable information about the regulation of NADPH oxidase activity and about the signaling pathways involved in inflammatory diseases.
