Abstract

We have investigated the regulation of the oscillatory generation of H2O2 and oscillations in shape and size in neutrophils in suspension. The oscillations are independent of cell density and hence do not represent a collective phenomena. Furthermore, the oscillations are independent of the external glucose concentration and the oscillations in H2O2 production are 180 degrees out of phase with the oscillations in NAD(P)H. Cytochalasin B blocked the oscillations in shape and size whereas it increased the period of the oscillations in H2O2 production. 1- and 2-butanol also blocked the oscillations in shape and size, but only 1-butanol inhibited the oscillations in H2O2 production. We conjecture that the oscillations are likely to be due to feedback regulations in the signal transduction cascade involving phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K). We have tested this using a simple mathematical model, which explains most of our experimental observations. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
