| Abstract | 1. The possible mechanisms of action of the inhibitory effect of gomisin C on the respiratory burst of rat neutrophils in vitro was investigated. 2. The peptide formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP) induced superoxide anion (O2-) formation and O2 consumption, which was inhibited by gomisin C in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 21.5 +/- 4.2 micrograms ml-1 for O2- formation). Gomisin C also suppressed O2- formation and consumption at low concentrations of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) with an IC50 value of 26.9 +/- 2.1 micrograms ml-1 for O2- formation. However, gomisin C did not affect the responses induced by a high concentration of PMA. 3. Gomisin C had no effect on O2- generation and uric acid formation in the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system, and failed to alter O2- generation during dihydroxyfumaric acid (DHF) autoxidation, indicating that it does not scavenge superoxide. 4. Like trifluoperazine (TFP), gomisin C attenuated the activity of PMA-activated neutrophil particulate NADPH oxidase in a concentration-dependent manner. 5. Gomisin C reduced the elevations of cytosolic free Ca2+ in neutrophils stimulated by FMLP in the presence or absence of EDTA. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) induced the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and this was also reduced by gomisin C. However, the Ca2+ influx pathway activated by CPA was not affected by gomisin C. 6. The cellular cyclic AMP level was markedly increased by forskolin, but not by gomisin C. Moreover, the inositol phosphate levels in FMLP-activated neutrophils were not affected by gomisin C. 7. These results show that the inhibitory action of gomisin C on the respiratory burst is not mediated by changes in cellular cyclic AMP or in inositol phosphates, or by scavenging O2- released from neutrophils, but may be mediated partly by the suppression of NADPH oxidase and partly by the decrease of cytosolic Ca2+ released from an agonist-sensitive intracellular store. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
