J Lab Clin Med 1995, 125:340-347. In granules that contained either myeloperoxidase or defensins, colocalization was found in only one third. Another third contained defensins without myeloperoxidase and the rest contained myeloperoxidase without defensins. This finding establishes a link between functional and structural heterogeneity of azurophil granules.

The amount of defensins is found to increase as neutrophils mature from promyelocytes to metamyelocytes. This indicates that there is a difference in timing of formation of the different azurophil granule subsets, established by Oren and Taylor (J Lab Clin Med 1995, 125:340-347.)

15. + cells show a maturation-dependent difference in expression of messenger RNA for selected azurophil and specific granule proteins. The difference in appearance of messenger RNA for myeloperoxidase (early), elastase (intermediate), and defensins (late) is consistent with the heterogeneity of azurophil granules. Messenger RNA for specific granule proteins appears even later.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1994, 91:4960-4964. Wortmannin, which inhibits signals generated through growth factor receptors and G-protein-coupled receptors, was shown to bind to the catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase. In combination with the study by Ding et al. (J Biol Chem 1995, 270:11684-11691) and Stauanov et al. (Science 1995, 269:690-693), this article establishes a central role of PI 3-kinase in intracellular signaling in activated neutrophils.

Several phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors including wortmannin were shown to inhibit activation of several serine/threonine kinases and respiratory burst activation induced by chemoattractant receptor activation. This paper demonstrates the central role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in neutrophil activation.

Science 1995, 269:690-693. A phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase directly activated by heterotrimeric G proteins was cloned from a human bone marrow complementary DNA library. This may be the direct link between chemoattractant receptor stimulation and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation, in particular if it can be shown that wortmannin also inhibits this phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.
