Cyclic AMP powerfully inhibits the fMet-Leu-Phe-dependent respiratory burst and exocytosis of azurophilic and specific granules without affecting Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. The elevation of [Ca2+](i) induced by fMEt-Leu-Phe is short-lived in cyclic AMP-treated cells and similar to that of untreated cells stimulated in the absence of external Ca2+.

Abstract
Cyclic AMP powerfully inhibits the fMet-Leu-Phe-dependent respiratory burst and exocytosis of azurophilic and specific granules without affecting Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. The elevation of [Ca2+](i) induced by fMEt-Leu-Phe is short-lived in cyclic AMP-treated cells and similar to that of untreated cells stimulated in the absence of external Ca2+. Nevertheless, in these latter cells fMet-Leu-Phe induces metabolic activation. We therefore suggest that the inhibitory action of cyclic AMP on neutrophil responses is not due to its effects on [Ca2+](i) homoeostasis.File in questo prodotto:
