Cytoplasmic alkalinization and extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) signals are required for migration of chemokineactivated neutrophils, but the precise functions remain unclear. In this work, the effect of the plasma membrane-expressed F0F1-ATP synthase (FATPase) on human neutrophils was examined. We found F-ATPase to be involved in cytoplasm proton extrusion and extracellular ATP generation. Oligomycin A, an F-ATPase inhibitor that blocks proton transfer, inhibited cytoplasmic alkalinization, extracellular ATP generation, adhesion and chemotaxis in N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-stimulated neutrophils; however, adenosine diphosphate (ADP), a substrate and activator of F-ATPase, had the opposite effect. Further analysis revealed that cell surface F-ATPase can translocate to the leading edge of directional fMLP-stimulated neutrophils toward ADP hydrolyzed from pannexin 1 channel-released ATP, followed by F-ATPase-catalyzed ATP regeneration using ADP and protons transferred from the cytoplasm. Therefore, the membrane-expressed F-ATPase regulates human neutrophil migration via cytoplasm proton extrusion and extracellular ATP generation.
