Chemotaxis is essential in leukocyte recruitment during inflammation. Adaptation is a strategy for cells to respond to chemoattractant gradients. Ras activation is the first step in GPCR signaling pathways, and Ras inhibitors regulate cell sensitivity.
Chemotaxis plays an essential role in recruitment of leukocytes to sites of inflammation. Eukaryotic cells sense chemoattractant with G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and chemotax toward gradients with an enormous concentration range through adaptation. Cells in adaptation no longer respond to the present stimulus but remain sensitive to stronger stimuli. Thus, adaptation provides a fundamental strategy for eukaryotic cells to chemotax through a gradient. Ras activation is the first step in the chemosensing GPCR signaling pathways that displays a transient activation behavior in both model organism Dictyostelium discoideum and mammalian neutrophils. Recently, it has been revealed that C2GAP1 and CAPRI control the GPCR-mediated adaptation in D. discoideum and human neutrophils, respectively. More importantly, both Ras inhibitors regulate the sensitivity of the cells. These findings suggest an evolutionarily conserved molecular mechanism by which eukaryotic cells gate concentration range of chemoattractants for chemotaxis.
