Polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) stimulation with fMLP stimulates small G proteins such as ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs) Arf1 and Arf6, leading to phospholipase D (PLD) activation and functions such as degranulation and the oxidative burst. However, the molecular links between fMLF receptors and PLD remain unclear. PMNs express cytohesin-1, an Arf-guanine exchange factor that activates Arfs, and its expression is strongly induced during the acquisition of the neutrophilic phenotype by neutrophil-like cells. The role of cytohesin-1 in the activation of the fMLF-Arf-PLD signaling axis, and the accomplishment of superoxide anion production, and degranulation was investigated in PMNs using the selective inhibitor of cytohesin, Sec 7 inhibitor H3 (secinH3). Cytohesin-1 inhibition with secinH3 leads to Arf6 but not Arf1 inhibition, demonstrating the specificity for Arf6, and fMLF-mediated activation of PLD and of the oxidative burst as well. We observed a decrease in fMLF-mediated protein secretion and expression of cell surface markers corresponding to primary (CD63/myeloperoxidase), secondary (CD66/lactoferrin), and tertiary (matrix metalloproteinase-9) granules in PMNs incubated with secinH3. Similarly, silencing cytohesin-1 or Arf6 in PLB-985 cells negatively affected fMLF-induced activation of PLD, superoxide production, and expression of granule markers on the cell surface. In contrast, stable overexpression of cytohesin-1 in PLB-985 cells enhanced fMLF-induced activation of Arf6, PLD, and NADPH oxidase. The results of this study provide evidence for an involvement of cytohesin-1 in the regulation of the functional responses of human PMNs and link these events, in part at least, to the activation of Arf6.
