Agonist Comments
FPR1-mediated neutrophil functions have different requirements for agonist concentrations, from low (chemotaxis) to high (superoxide generation). Some early studies of fMet-Leu-Phe were conducted on rabbit neutrophils [9,23]. The annexin I peptides include Ac2-12, Ac2-26 and Ac9-25. These peptides bind to both FPR1 and FPR2 with similar affinities, and therefore non-selective according to IUPHAR standard [17,26,36,82]. T20/DP178, an ectodomain peptide of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp41, is an activator of FPR1 [78]. AG-14 (1,3-benzodioxolane-5-carboxylic acid 4`-benzyloxy-3`-methoxybenzylidene-hydrazide) represents a novel small-molecule agonist of FPR1. Selected chiral compounds are potent mixed FPR1/FPR2 agonists, among which R-(-)-forms generally exhibits higher activity than the S-(+)-enantiomers [15]. Benzimidazole derivatives include 2-(benzimidazol-2-ylthio)-N-phenylacetamide-derivatives and 2-(5-alkoxybenzimidazol-2-ylthio)-N-phenylacetamide derivatives, among which FPR1-specific agonists are AG-09/1, AG-09/2, AG-09/13, AG-09/18, AG-09/19, AG-09/21, AG-11/03, AG-11/05 and AG-11/23, while the other compounds tested in the series are mixed FPR1/FPR2 agonists or FPR2-specific agonists [37-38]. Despite acting as a calcium-mobilizing agonist at mouse Fpr1, spinorphin is a weak chemotactic agonist and effectively blocks neutrophil chemotaxis induced by fMLF at concentrations selective for mouse Fpr1 [47].

Antagonist Comments
CHIPS is a 14.1 kDa protein found in more than half of the clinical strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Its N-terminal peptides of various lengths are also FPR1 antagonists but are 3 orders of magnitude less potent [29]. Boc-Met-Leu-Phe is also termed Boc1, and Boc-Phe-Leu-Phe-Leu-Phe is referred to as Boc2. The latter is an antagonist of both FPR1 and FPR2, and therefore is considered non-selective. Spinorphin is an endogenous peptide with the sequence of Leu-Val-Val-Tyr-Pro-Trp-Thr. BVT173187 (3,5-dichloro-N-(2-chloro-5-methyl-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-benzamide) fulfills the criteria for an FPR1 inhibitor selective for FPR1 over FPR2, and the potency is the same as that of cyclosporine H, but signaling through C5aR and CXCR (recognizing IL8) is also affected by BVT173187.

Calcium channel
Comments:  Increase of intracellular Ca2+ level results in opening of membrane Ca2+ channel in fMLF-stimulated cells. This response is secondary to release of Ca2+ from intracelluar stores.

Tissue Distribution
Non-myeloid cells: Low levels of FPR1 transcript and protein are found in hepatocytes, platelets, endothelial cells, astrocytes, microglial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts. Using a polyclonal Ab, FPR1 expression is detected in thyroid, adrenal, motor and sensory neurons, cerebellar systems, and colon.
Species:  Human
Technique:  Immunocytochemistry
References:  4,16,41,43,53
Myeloid cells: FPR1 is primarily expressed in neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages. It is also found in eosinophils and basophils. FPR1 is not found on myeloblast cell surface but emerges gradually through stages of neutrophil maturation. Promyelocytic leukemia cell lines such as HL-60 may be differentiated to induce FPR1 expression. There is an intracellular pool of FPR1 in neutrophil granules that can be mobilized for cell surface expression.

Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression
Silencing of the human FPR1 gene by siRNA leads to impaired chemotaxis and calcium mobilization in transfected cells, and reduced superoxide secretion in macrophages, when challenged with fMLF.
Species:  Human
Tissue:  Glioma cell line
Technique:  RNAi

Deletion of the mouse FPR1 gene results in compromised immunity to Listeria monocytogenes infection, manifested as reduced ability of bacteria clearance and increased mortality rate. Neutrophils from the knockout mice respond poorly to fMLF.

Deficiency in mFpr1 and mFpr2 exacerbated the severity of the infection and increased the mortality of infected mice. The mechanism involved impaired early neutrophil recruitment to the liver with Fpr1 and Fpr2 being sole receptors for neutrophils to sense Listeria chemoattractant signals and for production of bactericidal superoxide.

Biologically Significant Variants
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in the FPR1 gene. These SNPs result in FPR variants with the following changes: I11T, V101L, R190W, N192K, A346E. Genetic analysis showed association of the N192K and R190W with the risk of having aggressive periodontitis.
Type:  Single nucleotide polymorphism
Species:  Human
References:  19,50,68
It was reported that juvenile periodontitis patients, whose neutrophils respond poorly to fMLF, carry SNPs that cause changes in F110(S) and C126W. Test of the FPR1 variants in transfected cells found defective chemotaxis and degranulation in response to fMLF, but normal cell surface expression. However, the accuracy of the original SNP study could not be confirmed.
