Abstract
Neither 5 microM calmodulin antagonist W-7 nor depletion of the intracellular Ca2+ affected the O2- generation triggered by the Fc receptor for IgG2 (Fc gamma 2 R) on guinea pig macrophages, although that by the Fc receptor for both IgG1 and IgG2 (Fc gamma 1/gamma 2 R) was lowered to 50% of a control level by W-7 and the Ca2+ depletion, respectively. Staurosporine inhibited all these responses, but to different extents. These results reveal that the signal-transduction pathways linked to these receptors differ from each other, and that Fc gamma 1/gamma 2 R triggers the O2- generation through the Ca2(+)-calmodulin system and the Ca2(+)-independent system.
