The amount of sialic acid on the surface of the neutrophil (PMN) influences its ability to interact with other cells. PMN activation with various stimuli mobilizes intracellular sialidase to the plasma membrane, where it cleaves sialic acid from cell surfaces. Because enhanced PMN adherence, spreading, deformability, and motility each are associated with surface desialylation and are critical to PMN diapedesis, we studied the role of sialic acid on PMN adhesion to and migration across pulmonary vascular endothelial cell (EC) monolayers in vitro. Neuraminidase treatment of either PMN or EC increased adhesion and migration in a dose-dependent manner. Neuraminidase treatment of both PMNs and ECs increased PMN adhesion to EC more than treatment of either PMNs or ECs alone. Moreover, neuraminidase treatment of ECs did not change surface expression of adhesion molecules or release of IL-8 and IL-6. Inhibition of endogenous sialidase by either cross-protective antineuraminidase antibodies (45.5% inhibition) or competitive inhibition with pseudo-substrate (41.2% inhibition) decreased PMN adhesion to ECs; the inhibitable sialidase activity appeared to be associated with activated PMNs. Finally, EC monolayers preincubated with activated PMNs became hyperadhesive for subsequently added resting PMNs, and this hyperadhesive state was mediated through endogenous PMN sialidase activity. Blocking anti-E-selectin, anti-CD54 and anti-CD18 antibodies decreased PMN adhesion to tumor necrosis factor-activated ECs but not to PMN-treated ECs. These data implicate desialylation as a novel mechanism through which PMN-EC adhesion can be regulated independent of de novo protein synthesis or altered adhesion molecule expression. The ability of activated PMNs, through endogenous sialidase activity, to render the EC surface hyperadherent for unstimulated PMNs may provide for rapid amplification of the PMN-mediated host response. 相似文献

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) play pivotal roles as phagocytic cells in immune defence against bacteria and parasites, exerting their effects by production of reactive oxygen species, several cytokines, chemokines and by phagocytotic reaction. In our investigation of properties of activated PMNs, we discovered that one of the two kinds of mouse anti-human CD19 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) clone SJ25-C1, weakly binds to freshly prepared PMNs. Moreover, the treatment of freshly prepared PMNs with anti-CD19 mAb (clone SJ25-C1) at 37 degrees C for 6 h induces the production and the secretion of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) by PMNs in vitro which was detectable in culture supernatants by bioassay using mouse cell line L929 cells. The concentration of TNF alpha secreted into the culture supernatant of PMNs cultured in the presence of anti-CD19 mAb (clone SJ25-C1) was higher than those of PMNs treated at 37 degrees C for 6 h with various PMN activators, such as anti-CD24 mAb, granulocytes-macrophage colony stimulation factor (GM-CSF) or interferon gamma (IFN gamma). In contrast, another clone of anti-CD19 mAb, HD37, did not bind to freshly prepared PMNs and failed to produce TNF alpha. To confirm that anti-CD19 mAb (clone SJ25-C1)-treated PMNs definitely produce TNF alpha, we measured the levels of intracellular expression of TNF alpha in PMNs permeabilized by saponin. These cells were treated with fluorescence-conjugated mouse anti-human TNF alpha mAb for detection of intracellular TNF alpha expression. Consequently, large amounts of intracellular TNF alpha were detected in PMNs treated with anti-CD19 mAb (clone SJ25-C1) but not in those treated with anti-CD19 mAb (clone HD37). 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor enhances the neutrophil-dependent increase in endothelial permeability 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
We examined the effect of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) on the increase in pulmonary microvascular endothelial monolayer permeability induced by activated neutrophils (PMN). Layering of PMN onto endothelial monolayers followed by activation of PMN with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) increased 125I-albumin clearance rate across the monolayers. Pretreatment of endothelial monolayers for 6 hr with TNF alpha (200 U/ml) potentiated the PMN-dependent increase in endothelial permeability, whereas 1 hr or 6 hr pretreatment of endothelial monolayers with 200 U/ml and 100 U/ml, respectively, TNF alpha did not enhance the response. Adherence of PMN to the endothelial cells was increased at 1 and 6 hr after TNF alpha (200 U/ml) treatment, but the adherence response was markedly greater following 6 hr of TNF alpha. The TNF alpha treatment of endothelial cells did not enhance neutrophil activation responses to PMA. Pretreatment of PMN with IB4, a MAb to the CD18 integrin, the common beta subunit of the adhesion proteins LFA-1, Mac-1, and p150,95 of PMN, reduced the increases in PMN adherence and the endothelial monolayer permeability induced by the 6 hr TNF alpha treatment. In contrast, pretreatment of PMN with OKM-1, a MAb to the CD11b epitope (alpha-subunit), had no effect on the adherence and the potentiation of the increase in permeability. The potentiation of the PMN-dependent permeability increase and enhanced endothelial adhesivity at 6 hr after TNF alpha priming of endothelial cells was dependent on protein synthesis. The results indicate that protein synthesis-dependent expression of an endothelial ligand for CD18 and resultant endothelial hyperadhesiveness potentiates the PMN-mediated increase in endothelial permeability after TNF alpha activation of endothelial cells. The priming of endothelial cells by TNF alpha may be a critical step in the mediation of endothelial injury. 相似文献

It has been reported that the Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytic activity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) from patients with acute bacterial infections is markedly enhanced when compared with healthy controls. Inasmuch as several potent cytokines are known to be involved in inflammatory and infectious processes, we studied the effects of three such cytokines (IL-1 beta, IL-2, and TNF-alpha) on normal PMN Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis. IL-1 beta and TNF alpha both caused a significant increase in the ingestion of EIgG by adherent PMN. In combination, IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha had an additive effect, even when each was used at its optimal concentration. In contrast to the enhancing effects mediated by IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha, IL-2 alone had no significant effect on PMN phagocytosis. Notably, however, IL-2 at a concentration of 10(4) U/ml partially inhibited TNF-alpha-mediated enhancement of phagocytosis by decreasing TNF binding to the PMN cell surface. This inhibitory effect of IL-2 on TNF was reversed by anti-IL-2 antibody and mAb directed against the low affinity IL-2R (anti-Tac), whereas mAb directed against the intermediate affinity receptor (mik-beta 1) had no such effect. These findings may have important physiologic implications, because patients receiving IL-2 therapy have been shown to have increased susceptibility to infection. 相似文献

Lysophosphatidylcholines(lyso-PCs), generated during blood storage, are etiologic in atwo-insult, sepsis-based model of transfusion-related acute lung injury(TRALI). Individually, endotoxin (LPS) and lyso-PCs prime but do notactivate neutrophils (PMNs). We hypothesized that priming of PMNsalters their reactivity such that a second priming agent causes PMNactivation and endothelial cell damage. PMNs were primed or not withLPS and then treated with lyso-PCs, and oxidase activation and elastaserelease were measured. For coculture experiments, activation of humanpulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) was assessed byICAM-1 expression and chemokine release. HMVECs were stimulated ornot with LPS, PMNs were added, cells were incubated with lyso-PCs, andthe number of viable HMVECs was counted. Lyso-PCs activated LPS-primed PMNs. HMVEC activation resulted in increased ICAM-1 andrelease of ENA-78, GRO, and IL-8. PMN-mediated HMVEC damage wasdependent on LPS activation of HMVECs, chemokine release, PMNadhesion, and lyso-PC activation of the oxidase. In conclusion, sequential exposure of PMNs to priming agents activates themicrobicidal arsenal, and PMN-mediated HMVEC damage was the resultof two insults: HMVEC activation and PMN oxidase assembly. 相似文献

Recent research suggests that polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) play an important role in ischemic organ injury by adhesion to the endothelium and by expression of cytotoxicity via oxygen free radical formation. The number of activated circulating PMNs as measured by the reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT-positive PMNs) were shown to be closely associated with the trend towards irreversibility in hemorrhagic shock. Our objective was to investigate the effect of pentoxifylline (PTX) on two aspects of the PMN mediated injury: (a) adhesion to the endothelium, and (b) spontaneous circulating PMN activation as a risk factor in a Wiggers type hemorrhagic shock protocol (35 mmHg mean arterial pressure for 90 minutes). The adhesion energy was estimated from the relative rolling velocity of individual PMNs on the endothelium of post-capillary venules in the rat mesentery before and after PTX treatment. The results indicate: (1) that PTX administration leads to a gradual reduction of the adhesion energy in a dose range between 1 to 100 mg/kg, and (2) it was possible to reduce significantly the spontaneous PMN activation in rats pretreated with PTX orally for at least 6 days (40 mg/kg per day). Although there were no significant differences in the PMN count between the PTX and the control group, the number of circulating NBT-positive PMNs before bleeding, as well as during the hypotensive period, was significantly lower in the PTX than in the control group. The 24-hour survival rate after hemorrhagic shock was improved from 50% in the untreated controls to 91% in the PTX group. These results suggest that manipulation of the circulating pool of PMNs by an agent that decreases the number of activated cells and reduces PMN adhesion to the endothelium, can significantly improve survival in this shock model. 相似文献

Oxidative functions of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), which play a deciding role in the phagocytosis process, are stimulated by extracellular matrix proteins such as type I collagen. Previous studies have demonstrated the involvement of a DGGRYY sequence located within the alpha(1) chain C-terminal telopeptide in type I collagen-induced PMN activation, but so far the mechanism has not been completely elucidated. We have recently demonstrated that collagen carbamylation (i.e. post-translational binding of cyanate to lysine epsilon-NH(2) groups) impairs PMN oxidative functions, suggesting the potential involvement of lysine residues in this process. The present study was devoted to the identification of lysine residues involved in the collagen-induced activation of PMNs. The inhibition of PMN activation by collagen in the presence of 6-amino-hexanoic acid, a structural analogue of lysine residues, confirmed the involvement of specific lysine residues. Modification of lysine residues by carbamylation demonstrated that only one residue, located within the alpha(1)CB6 collagen peptide, was involved in this mechanism. A recombinant alpha(1)CB6 peptide, designed for the substitution of lysine 1047 by glycine, exhibited decreased activity, demonstrating that the lysine residue at position 1047 within the collagen molecule played a significant role in the mechanism of activation. These results help to understand in more detail the collagen-mediated PMN activation mechanism and confirm the prominent involvement of lysine residues in interactions between extracellular matrix proteins and inflammatory cells. 相似文献

Down-regulation of proinflammatory capacity during apoptosis in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) are essential to innate immunity in humans and contribute significantly to inflammation. Although progress has been made, the molecular basis for termination of inflammation in humans is incompletely characterized. We used human oligonucleotide microarrays to identify genes encoding inflammatory mediators that were differentially regulated during the induction of apoptosis. One hundred thirty-three of 212 differentially expressed genes encoding proinflammatory factors, signal transduction mediators, adhesion molecules, and other proteins that facilitate the inflammatory response were down-regulated during the induction of apoptosis following PMN phagocytosis. Among these, 42 genes encoded proteins critical to the inflammatory response, including receptors for IL-8 beta, IL-10 alpha, IL-13 alpha 1, IL-15 alpha, IL-17, IL-18, C1q, low-density lipoprotein, IgG Fc (CD32), and formyl peptide, Toll-like receptor 6, platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31), P-selectin (CD62), IL-1 alpha, IL-16, and granulocyte chemoattractant protein-2 were down-regulated. Many of these genes were similarly down-regulated during Fas-mediated or camptothecin-induced apoptosis. We used flow cytometry to confirm that IL-8R beta (CXCR2) and IL-1 alpha were significantly down-regulated during PMN apoptosis. We also discovered that 23 genes encoding phosphoinositide and calcium-mediated signal transduction components, which comprise complex pathways essential to the inflammatory response of host cells, were differentially regulated during PMN apoptosis. Importantly, our data demonstrate that PMNs down-regulate proinflammatory capacity at the level of gene expression during induction of apoptosis. These findings provide new insight into the molecular events that resolve inflammation following PMN activation in humans. 相似文献

Neutrophil (PMN) infiltration and associated release of serine proteases contribute to epithelial injury during active phases of mucosal disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that PMN contact with basolateral surfaces of intestinal epithelial cells in the presence of a chemoattractant results in disruption of barrier function even without transmigration. Similarly, serine protease-mediated activation of epithelial protease-activated receptors (PARs) has been shown to increase permeability. In this study, we assessed whether transmigrating PMNs can regulate barrier function through epithelial PAR activation. Transepithelial resistance (TER) decreased significantly after PMN contact with basolateral surfaces of T84 monolayers or after incubation with PMN elastase and proteinase-3, but not cathepsin G. Inhibition of PMN serine proteases, but not selective inhibition of elastase or cathepsin G, prevented the fall in TER induced by PMN contact and blocked PMN transepithelial migration. Basolateral, but not apical, PAR-1 and -2 activation with selective agonists also decreased TER. PAR-1 and -2 were localized intracellularly and in close proximity to lateral surfaces beneath tight junctions, and expression was increased in colonic mucosa from individuals with Crohn's disease. Combined, but not individual, transfection with small interfering RNAs targeted against epithelial PAR-1 and -2, prevented the fall in TER induced by PMN contact. Furthermore, basolateral PAR-1 and -2 activation induced phosphorylation of myosin L chain kinase and regulatory myosin L chain. Lastly, epithelial PAR-1 and -2 knockdown decreased the rate of PMN transepithelial migration. These results suggest that protease-mediated epithelial PAR-1 and -2 activation, by migrating PMNs, induces signaling events that increase epithelial permeability thereby facilitates PMN transepithelial migration. 相似文献

Comparison of the effects of IL-1 alpha and TNF-alpha on phagocyte accumulation and murine antibacterial immunity 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
IL-1 and TNF both are reported to increase host antibacterial resistance. To directly compare their effects on tissue phagocyte accumulation and antibacterial activity, we infused recombinant human IL-1 alpha and TNF-alpha into C3H/HeJ mice. Although IL-1, at a dose of 1 microgram/day, did not significantly elevate blood neutrophil concentrations, it increased the number of PMNs within the spleen three to fourfold within 2 days. Similar neutrophil accumulation also occurred in the lungs, bone marrow, and liver of treated animals without detectable changes in macrophage numbers. IL-1 also increased myelopoiesis in the spleen by Days 3-4 of infusions. The capacity of splenocytes from IL-1-treated animals to kill Listeria monocytogenes in vitro and to suppress listeria proliferation in vivo after the intravenous infusion of bacteria both rose in parallel with PMN accumulation. Comparable doses of TNF also enhanced listeria killing in vivo but in contrast to IL-1, it significantly depressed peripheral blood neutrophil counts, and inhibited splenic neutrophil accumulation and in vitro listericidal activity in listeria-infected mice. Our results suggest that IL-1 enhances host resistance to infection by increasing tissue neutrophil accumulation while TNF protects by a different mechanism, despite a net inhibitory effect on neutrophil accumulation. 相似文献

Cytokine regulation of IL-1 beta gene expression in the human polymorphonuclear leukocyte 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

Although recently polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) have been identified as producers of IL-1 beta in response to LPS and granulocyte/monocyte colony stimulating factor, little is known regarding the ability of other cytokines to induce the production of IL-1 beta in the PMN. Inasmuch as IL-1 and TNF have been shown to be important priming agents, as well as agents that induce migration of PMN, we investigated their effect on IL-1 beta gene expression in human peripheral blood PMN. In the present study, we demonstrate that human peripheral blood PMN produce IL-1 beta in response to IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, and TNF-alpha. Control (unstimulated) human PMN had virtually undetectable levels of IL-1 beta mRNA. Either IL-1 beta or TNF, induced PMN to transiently express IL-1 beta mRNA with peak expression at 1 h, returning to untreated levels by 2 h. A dose response indicated that as little as 0.05 ng/ml of IL-1 beta or TNF resulted in IL-1 beta induction, with maximal effects at 1 ng/ml of IL-1 beta and 5 ng/ml of TNF. IL-1 alpha or IL-1 beta exhibited similar dose responses in IL-1 beta mRNA induction. Inasmuch as cytokines have been shown to have synergistic effects in cell function studies, we induced PMN with a combination of maximally effective doses of TNF plus IL-1 beta. They demonstrated a cooperative effect on IL-1 beta gene expression, in that mRNA levels were sustained for three hours. IL-1 beta Ag expression, as measured by ELISA, paralleled IL-1 beta mRNA expression with cell associated peak levels at 2 to 4 h. IL-1 beta Ag levels in PMN lysates and supernatants correlated with IL-1 beta mRNA levels, i.e., TNF + IL-1 greater than TNF greater than IL-1. Thus, these studies represent the first demonstration of IL-1 and TNF induction of IL-1 beta gene expression in the PMN. Furthermore, the time course of induction is unique to the PMN, with peak induction of mRNA at 1 h, which is consistent with the short lived nature of these cells in inflammatory lesions. 相似文献

IL-10 has a wide range of effects tending to control inflammatory responses. We used flow cytometry to study IL-10 binding at the polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) surface and its modulation by various proinflammatory agents. Little IL-10 bound to the surface of resting PMN. However, binding was strongly increased after stimulation with LPS and proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF and GM-CSF. IL-1 and IL-8 did not significantly modify IL-10 binding. Cycloheximide had no effect on TNF-induced IL-10 binding, strongly suggesting the release of a pre-existing pool of IL-10R rather than de novo receptor synthesis by PMN. This was confirmed by the inhibitory effect of pentoxifylline, an inhibitor of degranulation. The existence of an intracellular pool of IL-10R was shown by flow cytometry, immunocytochemical staining, and Western blotting with several anti-human IL-10R Abs. In subcellular fractions of resting PMN, IL-10R was mainly located in the specific granule fraction, and was absent from azurophil granules and cytosol. We also tested the mobilization of specific granules by measuring the release of lactoferrin, their reference marker. The differential effects of the proinflammatory agents on IL-10 binding matched their effects on lactoferrin release and may therefore be related to differential mobilization of specific granules by these agents. Furthermore, the kinetics of TNF-induced up-regulation of IL-10 binding to PMN ran parallel to the kinetics of the inhibitory effect of IL-10 on the oxidative burst, suggesting a key role of IL-10R mobilization from specific granules to the membranes in optimal regulation of inflammatory responses. 相似文献

The i.p. injection of mice with highly purified recombinant human rIL-1 alpha or beta resulted in the rapid influx of a large number of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) into the peritoneal cavity. Significant increases in the number of PMN were induced by doses of IL-1 which ranged from 0.005 to 5 ng/injection. Interestingly the dose response for PMN influx was bell-shaped because 50 ng of IL-1 did not result in a significant increase in peritoneal PMN. IL-1 induced PMN infiltration was detectable by 1 h with peak levels of PMN obtained by about 2 h, followed by a subsequent decline by 24 h. Other cytokines, IL-2, IFN-gamma, IFN alpha beta, granulocyte-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage-CSF, IL-3, TNF-alpha, and TNF-beta were compared to IL-1 for their ability to induce a PMN influx into the peritoneum. Only TNF-alpha or TNF-beta (lymphotoxin) were able to induce a significant influx of PMN within 2 h. However, based on total protein administered, about 100 times more TNF than IL-1 was required to produce a comparable PMN infiltration. Intraperitoneal injection of inhibitors of the cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase pathways did not inhibit the IL-1-induced influx of PMN. Also, neither IL-1 nor TNF triggered an increase in PG or leukotriene release from peritoneal cells in vitro. Furthermore, direct peritoneal injection of leukotriene B4, a potent PMN chemoattractant in vitro, did not induce any significant increase in PMN in the peritoneal cavity indicating that chemotactic activity alone is insufficient for inducing peritoneal infiltration. These results suggest that the local production of very low levels of IL-1 in vivo would be sufficient to initiate a sequence of events that results in a rapid accumulation of PMN. Because IL-1 was not chemotactic for PMN in vitro, our data suggest that IL-1 induces production of factors that are chemotactic for PMN. Alternatively, IL-1 may act on other stages of the complex sequence of events that regulates the emigration of PMN into tissue sites in vivo. The synergy apparent in PMN influx when suboptimal concentrations of IL-1 and TNF were injected suggests that the local production of very low concentrations of these cytokines in situ could play a critical role in the emigration of PMN during infection. 相似文献

Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are exposed to respirable microbial particles. Similar to phagocytes in the gastrointestinal tract, AMs can suppress inflammation after exposure to nonpathogenic organisms. IL-1R-associated kinase-M (IRAK-M) is one inhibitor of innate immunity, normally suppressing pulmonary inflammation. During pneumonia, polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are recruited by chemotactic factors released by AMs to produce an intense inflammation. We report that intact IRAK-M is strongly expressed in resting human AMs but is cleaved in patients with pneumonia via PMN-mediated induction of caspase-6 (CASP-6) activity. PMN contact is necessary and PMN membranes are sufficient for CASP-6 induction in macrophages. PMNs fail to induce TNF-α fully in macrophages expressing CASP-6 cleavage-resistant IRAK-M. Without CASP-6 expression, PMN stimulation fails to cleave IRAK-M, degrade IκBα, or induce TNF-α. CASP-6(-/-) mice subjected to cecal ligation and puncture have impaired TNF-α production in the lung and decreased mortality. LPS did not induce or require CASP-6 activity demonstrating that TLR2/4 signaling is independent from the CASP-6 regulated pathway. These data define a central role for CASP-6 in PMN-driven macrophage activation and identify IRAK-M as an important target for CASP-6. PMNs de-repress AMs via CASP-6-mediated IRAK-M cleavage. This regulatory system will blunt lung inflammation unless PMNs infiltrate the alveolar spaces. 相似文献

It is known that polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) emerge first in local inflammatory sites, and then they are followed and scavenged by macrophages. We focused on the effect of PMN on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) release activity of macrophages, which is viewed as a possible indicator of the status of macrophage activation. One day after macrophages were cultured with fresh, intact murine PMNs which were induced with sodium casein, the release of TNF triggered by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was augmented by low concentrations of PMNs, but suppressed by their high concentrations. When the PMN samples were fractionated into soluble and insoluble fractions, the augmenting and suppressing activity was partitioned; the relatively high concentrations of soluble fraction showed the suppressive effect whereas the insoluble fraction in lower concentrations showed augmentation. The suppressive activity was stable at 100 C, but the filtrates of the soluble fraction with membranes having cut-offs of 5,000 or 10,000 were not suppressive at all, suggesting the suppression is not due to low molecular compounds. It was also suggested that the suppressive effect for TNF release was not due to contaminating LPS or transforming growth factor-β. Inflammatory processes may thus be positively and negatively controlled by a quantitative factor of initial PMN populations by regulating the TNF release activity of the subsequent macrophages. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) primes human neutrophils (PMN) for enhanced superoxide (O2-) production if cells are subsequently stimulated with the chemotactic peptide, n-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP). fMLP activates phospholipase D to form phosphatidic acid (PA), and a correlation may exist between PA production and O2- generation in PMN. Therefore, we assessed the ability of TNF to prime phospholipase D activation in PMN stimulated with fMLP. TNF (100 units/ml) pretreatment primed enhanced PA production in PMN challenged with 1 microM fMLP, in the absence of cytochalasin B, as demonstrated by increased production of tritiated PA from PMN label with 1-O-[9',10'-3H]hexadecyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine ([3H]LPAF) and by increased PA mass. PA was formed via activation of phospholipase D and occurred with minimal production of diglycerides. Production of O2- was also enhanced in identically treated cells, and we demonstrated a direct correlation between enhanced PA formation and O2- production. Conversely, ethanol inhibition of PA formation led to a comparable reduction in O2- generation. This report of priming of phospholipase D by physiological agonists is the only natural system where enhanced PA formation has been dissociated from diglyceride formation. Our results suggest a link between PA production and NADPH oxidase activation in human PMN. 相似文献

Cytokines are potent polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) activators and can decrease their deformability. We evaluated passive PMN deformability using the micropipette method after incubation with different concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interleukins (IL-) 1, 6, 8 and 10, tumour necrosis factor (TNF), granulocyte (G) and granulocyte-macrophage (GM) colony-stimulating factors (CSF). TNF, IL-1, G-CSF, GM-CSF and, to a lesser degree, IL-6 significantly and in a dose-dependent fashion decrease PMN deformability. LPS had no direct effect on PMN deformability. When cytokines at concentrations with no effect on deformability were combined they increased PMN rigidity. The findings suggest that several cytokines and CSF impair directly, and not by activation alone, PMN deformability. 相似文献

Delayed polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) apoptosis exacerbates acute lung injury. To reach the alveolar spaces, PMNs must migrate across both pulmonary endothelial and epithelial cell layers. We hypothesized that transmigration across the endothelium-epithelium bilayer suppresses PMN apoptosis and sought to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. PMNs freshly isolated from normal volunteers were allowed to migrate across polycarbonate membranes alone or membranes coated with a bilayer of human lung endothelial and epithelial cells. After migration toward different chemoattractants (IL-8, formyl-Met-Leu-Phe, or leukotriene B(4)), PMN apoptosis and caspase activities were assessed by annexin V, histology, and enzymatic assays, respectively. Messenger RNA and specific protein expression in three receptor ligand-mediated, apoptosis-inducing pathways (Fas, TNF-alpha, and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) were further examined by gene array, RT-PCR, flow cytometry, and Western blot analyses. The data demonstrated that transbilayer migration suppressed PMN apoptosis, and this effect was not chemoattractant type specific. Kinetic analyses further showed that the delay of apoptosis was sustained to at least 18 h. Transbilayer migration caused significant decreases in caspase (-3, -8, and -9) activities. The changes in apoptosis-related gene expression support the survival role of transbilayer migration. Furthermore, the reduced apoptosis was correlated with downregulation of Fas ligand and TNF receptor 1 expression. Our data reveal that migration across a lung endothelium-epithelium bilayer suppresses PMN apoptosis. The decreased activity and/or expression of proapoptotic proteins may provide possible targets for the regulation of inappropriate delay in PMN apoptosis during lung inflammation and injury. 相似文献
