  • Title: Antagonist of phorbol ester receptor-mediated chemotaxis in mouse peritoneal macrophages.
    Author: Sturm RJ, Smith BM, Lane RW, Laskin DL, Harris LS, Carchman RA.
    Journal: Cancer Res; 1983 Oct; 43(10):4552-6. PubMed ID: 6309370.
    Abstract:
    Biologically active phorbol ester derivatives displace [3H]phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate from thioglycollate-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages in a time-, temperature-, and concentration-dependent manner. Scatchard analysis revealed an apparent Kd of 54.1 nM and 8.0 X 10(5) sites/cell, indicating that these macrophages possess saturable, high-affinity phorbol ester-binding sites. These derivatives also act as chemoattractants for the macrophage at equivalent concentrations. A notable exception to this pattern is phorbol-12,13-diacetate. Phorbol-12,13-diacetate inhibits specific binding of [3H]phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (concentration required for a 50% inhibition of the maximum specific binding of [3H]phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate, 2.6 microM) and chemotaxis to phorbol-12-myristate, 13-acetate (concentration required for a 50% inhibition of the maximum chemotactic response, 0.39 microM) while exhibiting no activity as a chemoattractant at concentrations up to 10(-5) M. The data indicate that phorbol-12,13-diacetate may be an antagonist for receptor-mediated chemotaxis to phorbol-12-myristate, 13-acetate in the macrophage.
