Recent studies report that leptin may be able to modulate some functions of cells involved in non-specific immune response. We recently found that a functional leptin receptor is present on polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and may be able to influence their oxidative capacities. We demonstrate here for the first time that leptin is also able to stimulate chemotaxis of PMNs and exerts by itself a chemoattractive effect comparable to that of well-known formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, and a stimulating effect on intracellular hydrogen peroxide production, without modification of phagocytosis 相似文献

Caffeine, dibutyryl cyclic-AMP and heparin affect the chemotactic and phagocytotic activities of neutrophils for boar sperm in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The objective was to examine the effects of caffeine, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, and heparin on the chemotaxis and/or phagocytosis of PMNs for porcine sperm. The chemotactic activity of PMNs, determined in a blind well chamber, increased (P < 0.05) when fresh serum was added to the medium (control containing BSA, 1109.5 cells/mm2 vs serum, 1226.3 cells/mm2), regardless of the presence of sperm (control, 1121.1 cells/mm2 vs serum, 1245.8 cells/mm2), whereas heat-inactivated serum did not affect activity (without sperm, 1099.4 cells/mm2 and with sperm, 1132.6 cells/mm2). Regardless of live and dead sperm and of the origin of PMNs (boars vs sows), the phagocytotic activity of PMNs, as determined by co-culture of PMNs with sperm for 60 min, increased (P < 0.05) in the presence of fresh serum containing active complement (46.7 and 43.0%, respectively), but stimulation was decreased (P < 0.05) when 1 mM or higher concentrations of caffeine was added to the medium (from 40.7 to 20.8-31.6%). The origin of PMNs (sows vs boars) did not significantly affect phagocytotic activity. The percentage of PMNs that phagocytized polystyrene latex beads decreased when 2 mM caffeine was added to the medium containing porcine serum (from 43.7 to 21.5%). Serum-stimulated chemotactic activity of PMNs (1089.9 cells/mm2) was also reduced (P < 0.05) with 2 mM caffeine (942.5 cells/mm2). Furthermore, dibutyryl cAMP at ≥ 0.1 mM or heparin at ≥ 100 μg/mL decreased phagocytotic activity, in a concentration-dependent manner (P < 0.05). Supplementation of PMNs with heparin at 100 or 500 μg/mL decreased (P < 0.05) chemotactic activity in the presence of serum (from 1137.1 cells/mm2 to 1008.8-1026.3 cells/mm2). We inferred that opsonization in the presence of active complement stimulated phagocytotic and chemotactic activities of PMNs, whereas supplementation with caffeine and dibutyryl cAMP (which could be associated with the intracellular cAMP level of PMNs) or adding heparin decreased serum-stimulated phagocytotic and chemotactic activities. 相似文献

Changes in enzyme activities of the plasma membrane makers were examined during phagocytosis using guinea-pig polymorphonuclear neutrophils. Incubation of neutrophils with fresh serum-opsonized zymosan particles showed a significant reduction in leucine aminopeptidase activity, whereas 5′-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphodieterase activities remained unchanged. Inactivation of leucine aminopeptidase activity was also observed by exposure of neutrophils to complement-opsonized zymosan particles, but not to non-opsonized zymosan, IgG-coated zymosan or polysterene latex particles. Pretreatment of neutrophils with cytochalasin B, which prevents phagocytosis but not surface binding of particles, provoked inactivation to the same degree as when the cells were allowed to phagocytose the particles. However, the inactivation during phagocytosis was protected by serine protease inhibitors. These findings suggest that loss of leucine aminopeptidase activity from phagocytosing cells may be mediated by certain serine protease inhibitor-sensitive factor(s) which are probably activated by the attachment of an opsonized zymosan particle to a specific membrane receptor, probably the C3b receptor. 相似文献

Using dithionite difference spectra we have detected cytochrome b in highly purified human neutrophils at a concentration of 0.08 nmol/mg protein. The presence of quinone was identified in lipid extracts at a concentration of approx. 0.06 nmol/mg protein. It was identified as ubiquinone-10 by mass spectrographic analysis. Simultaneous measurements of cytochrome oxidase indicated that these compounds could not be attributed to mitochondrial contamination. These results are compatible with the hypothesis that initiation of the respiratory burst in human neutrophils involves a multicomponent electron-transport system. 相似文献

A new test was applied to study the function of polymorphonuclear neutrophils according to their ability to form oreols in a hypertonic medium. During inhibition of neutrophil function in vivo (desympathetization, tumor growth), oreol formation increased. Stimulation of neutrophils in vitro by adding noradrenaline to the incubation medium led to a decrease in their oreol-forming ability. The data obtained enabled the authors to offer the test for detecting the functional activity of polynuclear cells. 相似文献

Abstract The interaction of differentiallu piliated Aeromonas strains expressing pili of two broadly different morphologic types (short, rigid (S/R) and/or long, wavy (L/W)) with human peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (PMN) was investigated to determine whether host defense cells might exert a selective pressure on pili expression in vivo accounting for the different pili phenotypes of clinical and environmental strains. A majority of Aeromonas veronii biotype sobria strains from water (6/6) and faeces (8/11) readily associated with PMN (>60% PMN with adherent and/or internalised bacteria), irrespective of their degree, or predominant type, of piliation. Rigid pili of Aeromonas species did not promote interaction with PMN. However, the majority (55%) of strains which interacted well with PMN were adherent to HEp-2 cells. Interactio with PMN is unlikely to be the reason few S/R pili are seen on faecal strains, but it may be a selective pressure on L/W adhesive pili, or other OMP adhesins, resulting in the shedding of strains which have lost critical adhesins. 相似文献

Leucocyte cell counts and the phagocytic and chemotactic activities of neutrophil granulocytes were investigated in highly endurance-trained long-distance runners (n = 10) and triathletes (n = 10) during a moderate training period and compared with untrained subjects (n = 10) before and up to 24 h after a graded exercise to exhaustion on a treadmill. After exercise a leucocytosis was noted with a significant increase in lymphocyte (P < or = 0.01) and neutrophil (P < or = 0.01) counts in all groups. In neutrophils the number of ingested inert latex beads was significantly increased (P < or = 0.01) from 0.21 (SD 0.09) to 0.45 (SD 0.22) in controls, from 0.20 (SD 0.12) to 0.56 (SD 0.16) in long-distance runners and from 0.25 (SD 0.08) to 1.03 (SD 0.42) particles per cell in triathletes 24 h after exercise, compared with resting values. The capability of neutrophils to produce microbicidal reactive oxygen species fell (P < or = 0.05) immediately after exercise in all subjects and then increased by 36 (SD 8)%, 31 (SD 6)% and 19 (SD 9)% in controls, runners and triathletes respectively up to 24 h after exercise (P < or = 0.05) compared with pre-start values. With respect to the absolute number of neutrophils, ingestion capacity, production of superoxide anions and chemotactic activity, no significant differences were found between athletes and control subjects at rest and after exercise.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

All the stages of the phagocytic process of blood neutrophils were compared in sedentary young women (no formal exercise during the previous 24 months) and elite sportswomen (basketball players from the Siglo XXI Spain Selection, in the middle of their competitive season) at rest. The sportswomen had performed no exercise since the day before taking the blood samples. Adherence of neutrophils to nylon fibre, which is similar to endothelium adherence, was not different between the two groups [62 (SD 14) and 58 (SD 18) in control and sport groups respectively]. Chemotaxis (studied in a Boyden chamber using a filter with 3 m pore diameter) was found to be stimulated (P<0.001) in the sportswomen [105 (SD 30)] with respect to the controls [39 (SD 9)]. Attachment, ingestion and killing by neutrophils was measured by incubation of the neutrophils with serum and a suspension ofCandida albicans. While no statistical differences were found in attachment ofC. albicans after 15 min incubation [71 (SD 8) in the control group, and 74 (SD 20) in the sport group], the sportswomen showed a higher (P<0.001) ingestion capacity forC. albicans at both 15 min [53 (SD 13) and 111 (SD 32) in control and sportswomen respectively] and 60 min [control 90 (SD 10), and sport group 224 (SD 21)] incubation. The greater phagocytic capacity in sportswomen was correlated with a higher plasma cortisol concentration (P <0.05) and a lower plasma ACTH concentration (P <0.001) in this group. It is concluded that elite women basketball players have a greater phagocytic capacity than sedentary women, possibly mediated by the higher plasma cortisol concentration in the sportswomen. 相似文献

Interaction of cells of Helicobacter pylori with human polymorphonuclear leucocytes: Possible role of haemagglutinins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract The interaction of fluorescein isothiocynate (FITC)-labelled cells of Helicobacter pylori with human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) was studied. Two strains with surface haemagglutinins expressing different receptor specificity were used in order to decide if cell surface haemagglutinins of H. pylori may play a role in lectin-mediated binding to/uptake by phagocytes: (1) strain 17874 (NCTC 11637) which expresses sialic acid-specific haemagglutin; and (2) strain 17875 (NCTC 11638) which expresses a sialic acid-independent haemagglutinin. Cells of strain 17874 were poorly attached to/ingested by PMNs compared to cells of strain 17875. Pre-treatment of bacteria with fetuin or rabbit antibodies against partly purified sialic acid-specific haemagglutinin enhanced interaction of cells of strain 17874 with PMNs. The enhancement did not occur in the case of strain 17875. Phagocytosis of H. pylori 17874 bacteria was slightly increased by fresh human sera positive for anti- H. pylori antibodies. The results suggest that the sialic-acid-specific haemagglutinin complex of 17874 bacteria might disturb their uptake by human PMNs. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of stress-induced lipid peroxidation on macrophages' functions. Animals were subjected to 4 h immobilization at 4 degrees C in restraining devices. The peritoneal macrophages obtained from rats exposed to cold and restraint stress exhibited an increase in lipid peroxidation and a decline of chemotaxis and phagocytosis compared with control rats. After supplementation with vitamin E, the increment in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) content as the oxidative stress marker and the decline of chemotaxis and phagocytosis in peritoneal macrophages observed during cold-restraint stress was significantly removed. No significant change in catalase activity of peritoneal macrophages was observed in groups exposed to cold-restraint stress and treated with vitamin E. These findings indicate that phagocytic and chemotactic capacities of peritoneal macrophages are decreased by cold-restraint stress and this effect of stress may be related to lipid peroxidation. 相似文献

The bifunctional fluorinated nitrobenzenes, 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DFDNB) and 4,4'-difluoro-3,3'-dinitrodiphenyl sulfone (DFDNDPS), and the monofunctional 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (FDNB) inhibit chemotaxis, phagocytosis, exocytosis and the respiratory burst of rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Inhibition occurs in the micromolar concentration range; the bifunctional compounds are stronger inhibitory than the monofunctional one. The inhibitory effect can be counteracted by sulfhydryl compounds and not with amino-group containing compounds. The results suggest that an interaction with vulnerable sulfhydryl groups, located in a hydrophobic surrounding, is the basis of the inhibitory effect of the fluorinated nitrobenzenes. 相似文献

Effects of microcystins on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic heptapeptides produced by cyanobacteria present in water contaminated reservoirs. Reported toxic effects for microcystins are liver injury and tumour promotion. In this study, we evaluated the effects of two MCs, MC-LR and [Asp(3)]-MC-LR, on human neutrophil (PMN). We observed that even at concentrations lower than that recommended by World Health Organization for chronic exposure (0.1 nM), MCs affect human PMN. Both MCs have chemotactic activity, induce the production of reactive oxygen species, and increase phagocytosis of Candida albicans. MC-LR also increased C. albicans killing. The effect of MCs on PMN provides support for a damage process mediated by PMN and oxidative stress, and may explain liver injury and tumour promotion associated to long-term MCs exposures. 相似文献

Neutrophils play an important role in the initiation of innate immunity against infection and injury. Although many different types of G-protein coupled receptors are functionally expressed in neutrophils, no reports have demonstrated functional expression of umami taste receptor in these cells. We observed that mouse neutrophils express the umami taste receptor T1R1/T1R3 through RNA sequencing and quantitative RT-PCR analysis. Stimulation of mouse neutrophils with L-alanine or L-serine, which are ligands for the umami taste receptor, elicited not only ERK or p38 MAPK phosphorylation but also chemotactic migration. Moreover, addition of L-alanine or L-serine markedly reduced the production of several cytokines including TNF-α induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) through inhibition of NF-κB activity or STAT3 phosphorylation in neutrophils. Our findings demonstrate that neutrophils express the umami taste receptor, through which tastants stimulate neutrophils, resulting in chemotactic migration, and attenuation of LPS-induced inflammatory response.

Defective clearance of apoptotic cells is frequently associated with perpetuation of inflammatory conditions. Our results show a rapid activation of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) in macrophages upon exposure to apoptotic cells or lysophosphatidylcholine, a specific phospholipid that is produced and released from dying cells. AMPK activation resulted from inhibition of mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP production and further depended on Ca2+ mobilization and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation. Once activated, AMPK increased microtubule synthesis and chemokinesis and provided adaptation to energy demand during tracking and engulfment. Uptake of apoptotic cells was increased in lungs of mice that received lysophosphatidylcholine. Furthermore, inhibition of AMPK diminished clearance of apoptotic thymocytes in vitro and in dexamethasone-treated mice. Taken together, we conclude that the mitochondrial AMPK axis is a sensor and enhancer of tracking and removal of apoptotic cell, processes crucial to resolution of inflammatory conditions and a return to tissue homeostasis. 相似文献

Macrophages display a large variety of surface receptors that are critical for their normal cellular functions in host defense, including finding sites of infection (chemotaxis) and removing foreign particles (phagocytosis). However, inappropriate regulation of these processes can lead to human diseases. Many of these receptors utilize tyrosine phosphorylation cascades to initiate and terminate signals leading to cell migration and clearance of infection. Actin remodeling dominates these processes and many regulators have been identified. This review focuses on how tyrosine kinases and phosphatases regulate actin dynamics leading to macrophage chemotaxis and phagocytosis. 相似文献

Intact polymorphonuclear neutrophils were modified chemically by a poorly permeable reagent, diazotized sulfanilic acid, and the changes in the activity of 5′-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphodiesterase, and leucine aminopeptidase were examined. Among three plasma membrane enzymes, 5′-nucleotidase activity was hardly detected in the human neutrophils. The activity of alkaline phosphodiesterase was observed in all the neutrophils examined, but was not inhibited by diazotized sulfanilic acid in the guinea-pig neutrophils. On the other hand, the activity of leucine aminopeptidase was not only found but also inhibited by diazotized sulfanilic acid without the inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase, a cytosol enzyme, in all the neutrophils, suggesting that leucine aminopeptidase is located generally on the plasma membrane as an ecto-enzyme in the neutrophils. 相似文献

Chemotactically-induced redistribution of CD43 as related to polarity and locomotion of human polymorphonuclear leucocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Leukocyte motility involves pseudopods extension at the leading edge and uropod contraction at the cell rear. Previous studies have shown that the glycoprotein CD43 redistributes to the uropod, when the cells develop polarity and locomotion. The present study addresses the question whether the accumulation of specific membrane molecules, such as CD43 at the contracted uropod precedes or follows development of polarity and locomotion. PMNs were labeled with fluorescent anti-CD43 antibodies and guided to polarize in the direction of a chemoattractant-containing micropipette or, once polarized, they were forced to reverse polarity and movement direction by placing the micropipette behind the uropod. This chemotactically-induced reversal of polarity was used as an efficient tool to analyse the sequence of events. CD43, but not another abundant surface glycoprotein CD45, was concentrated at the uropod. This documents that CD43 redistribution is a selective phenomenon. During reversal of polarity and of locomotion direction, the geometric center of the cell clearly changed direction earlier than the center of anti-CD43 fluorescence intensity. Thus, CD43 redistribution to the new uropod follows rather than precedes reversal of polarity, suggesting that CD43 redistribution is a consequence rather than a prerequisite for polarity and locomotion. PMNs making a U-turn maintained the pre-existing polarity and CD43 remained concentrated at the uropod, even when the front was moving in the opposite direction. Our data show that anterior pseudopod formation, rather than capping of CD43 at the uropod or the position of the uropod determines the direction of locomotion. 相似文献

Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx) is characterized as an important enzyme for protecting cells from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and regulating the production of leukotrienes and prostanoids in cells overexpressing PHGPx. We studied whether the expression level of PHGPx fluctuates in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) which were exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory cytokines at an inflammation site. Human peripheral PMNs up-regulated the expression level of PHGPx following culture with TNF-alpha, but not with IL-1beta, IL-8, and GRO. The up-regulated PHGPx expression was also observed in neutrophil-like cells that differentiated from the human leukemia cell line HL60 only after stimulation with TNF-alpha. However, macrophage-like differentiated HL60 cells and other cell lines, A498, ECV304, HeLa, U937, and HEK293, showed no increase in the PHGPx expression. This up-regulation of PHGPx was inhibited by treatment with the anti-oxidants, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, and N-acetyl-L-cysteine, and by inhibitors of NFkappaB and Src kinases. The stimulation of neutrophil-like differentiated HL60 cells with TNF-alpha induced activation of NFkappaB and c-Src kinase, and the activation was attenuated by treatment with the anti-oxidants. Up-regulation in neutrophil-like HL60 cells was also observed following exposure to H(2)O(2). These results indicate that activation of NFkappaB and/or Src kinases through ROS signaling may be involved in the up-regulation of the PHGPx in human PMNs stimulated by TNF-alpha. 相似文献
