The NADPH oxidase of the professional phagocyte is essential for the immune system. The phagocyte NADPH oxidase, NOX2, catalyze the reduction of molecular oxygen to superoxide. Superoxide is transformed rapidly into other reactive oxygen species (ROS) which play a critical role in the killing of pathogens in host defense. Indeed neutrophils, the first cells that arrive at the site of infections, engulf pathogens in a process called phagocytosis. The production of reactive oxygen species is then triggered by the NADPH oxidase in the phagosome. The importance of ROS production is demonstrated by the recurrent bacterial and fungal infections that face patients who lack functional NADPH oxidase as in the rare genetic disorder known as the chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Upon stimulation by bacterial peptide or in some pathological conditions, NADPH oxidase can also be activated at the phagocyte plasma membrane producing ROS in the extracellular medium. So, an excessive or inappropriate NADPH oxidase activation generates oxidative stress involve in chronic inflammation, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disease. The NADPH oxidase activity should be tightly regulated. The activity of the enzyme is the result of the assembly of cytosolic subunits (p47phox, p67phox, p40phox and Rac2) with membranous subunits (gp91phox and p22phox). P67phox regulates the electron flow through gp91phox from NADPH to oxygen leading to the formation of superoxide. Recent data indicate that the anionic phospholipids are important for the NADPH oxidase regulation. Moreover, p40phox and p47phox bear a PX domain that binds respectively phosphatidylinositol3-phosphate (PI3P) and phosphatidylinositol (3,4)-bisphosphate(PI(3,4)P2). Our objective was to decipher the importance of these phosphoinositides on the NADPH oxidase activity. We first examined the role of PI3P, which is present on the cytosolic leaflet of phagosome after its sealing, in NADPH oxidase activation. Our data indicate that p40phox works as a late adaptor controlled by PI3P to maintain p67phox in the NADPH oxidase complex. Thus, PI3P acts as a timer for NADPH oxidase assembly. We then examined the role of PI(3,4)P2 in the activation of the NADPH oxidase assembled at the plasma membrane. PI(3,4)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3 are formed at the plasma membrane, upon neutrophil activation, by phosphorylation by Class I PI3K of respectively PI4P and PI(4,5)P2. We found that class I PI3K activity is required to maintain the integrin-dependent activation of NADPH oxidase at the plasma membrane.
