Time course of changes in phosphoinositide levels during fMLP stimulation of TNF-α-primed human neutrophils. Human neutrophils were labeled with [32P]Pi in the presence of 200 U/mL TNF-α, as described in “Materials and methods.” Neutrophils were washed, warmed for 5 minutes at 37°C in the presence or absence of 0.3 μM TGX-221, and then challenged with 100 nM fMLP or its vehicle for the times indicated. Incubations were terminated, lipids were extracted, and [32P] phosphoinositides were quantified as described in “Materials and methods.” Data are mean ± SD (n = 3-5) collected from separate preparations of neutrophils (where not shown, errors lie within the symbols).
