Polymorphonuclear neutrophils release ATP in response to stimulation by chemoattractants, such as the peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine. Released ATP and the hydrolytic product adenosine regulate chemotaxis of neutrophils by sequentially activating purinergic nucleotide and adenosine receptors, respectively. Here we show that that ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1 (E-NTPDase1, CD39) is a critical enzyme for hydrolysis of released ATP by neutrophils and for cell migration in response to multiple agonists (N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, interleukin-8, and C5a). Upon stimulation of human neutrophils or differentiated HL-60 cells in a chemotactic gradient, E-NTPDase1 tightly associates with the leading edge of polarized cells during chemotaxis. Inhibition of E-NTPDase1 reduces the migration speed of neutrophils but not their ability to detect the orientation of the gradient field. Studies of neutrophils from E-NTPDase1 knockout mice reveal similar impairments of chemotaxis in vitro and in vivo. Thus, E-NTPDase1 plays an important role in regulating neutrophil chemotaxis by facilitating the hydrolysis of extracellular ATP.
