Abstract

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes undergo a series of morphological and biochemical changes in response to various chemical stimuli. Transmembrane potential change is an early event that follows stimulation and membrane depolarization may act as a trigger for superoxide generation. To determine if there is a correlation between membrane depolarization and superoxide generation, we investigated the effects of different membrane modulators on stimulus-dependent depolarization. The membrane modulators mepacrine, chlorpromazine and cepharanthine inhibited the superoxide generation produced by chemotactic peptide, FMLP, and/or digitonin in neutrophils. Inhibitory profiles of the activation parameters, however, demonstrate that membrane depolarization is not associated with superoxide generation: FMLP-induced depolarization was inhibited by the modulators tested and was accompanied by the suppression of superoxide generation, but the depolarization produced by digitonin was stimulated somewhat by these drugs. Our results indicate that receptor-mediated membrane depolarization is not a necessary event for the activation of superoxide generation by digitonin.
