Relationship between membrane potential changes and superoxide-releasing capacity in resident and activated mouse peritoneal macrophages 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In an attempt to understand better the molecular basis for the enhanced respiratory burst of activated macrophages (M phi), we investigated the relationship between stimulus-induced changes in membrane potential and release of superoxide anion (O2-) in mouse peritoneal M phi. Resident M phi and M phi elicited by injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS-M phi) or obtained from animals infected with bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG-M phi) were used. LPS-M phi and BCG-M phi showed more pronounced changes in membrane potential (depolarization) and greater release of O2- on contact with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) than did resident macrophages. The lag time between addition of stimulus and onset of release of O2- was reduced in activated compared with resident cells. Membrane potential changes began 60 to 90 sec before release of O2- could be detected in each cell type. The dose-response curves for triggering of membrane potential changes and O2- release by PMA were identical. The magnitude of membrane potential changes and of O2- release in LPS-M phi and BCG-M phi declined progressively during in vitro culture, and values on day 3 approached those in resident macrophages ("deactivation"). Extracellular glucose was required for effective stimulated change in membrane potential and O2- release. These findings indicate that membrane potential changes are closely associated with O2- -releasing capacity in macrophages, and that the systems that mediate membrane potential changes and production of O2- develop or decline concomitantly during activation or deactivation of the cells. Although the plasma membrane was highly depolarized by high extracellular K+ or by the sodium ionophore gramicidin, O2- release was not induced by these maneuvers, indicating that changes in membrane potential by themselves are not sufficient to trigger the respiratory burst in macrophages. Release of O2- was not impaired in buffers in which Na+ was completely replaced with equimolar concentrations of K+ or choline+; thus, induction or maintenance of the respiratory burst in M phi does not require an influx of Na+. 相似文献

Stimulation of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) with PMA initiates a cascade of events leading to the production and release of superoxide anion (O-2), a major component in anti-bacterial defense. Generation of O-2 by PMA-stimulated PMNs occurs through the translocation and activation of protein kinase C (PKC). In this study, using freshly isolated PMNs, we examined the effect of ethanol on this response to PMA. Our results show that the basal production of O-2 was not affected by ethanol. In contrast, the response induced by PMA was potentiated by ethanol. This potentiation was observed even at high doses of PMA (200 nM) which alone had stimulated the O-2 response maximally. This enhanced response was not due to an increase of PMA uptake by PMNs. The maximal effect was obtained when the cells were preincubated with 80 mM of ethanol before PMA stimulation. Measurement of PKC activity in the cytosolic and membrane fractions showed that pretreatment of PMNs with ethanol increased twofold the PMA-stimulated PKC activity in the membrane fraction. Furthermore, Western blot analysis verified that this increase in PKC activity in the membrane fraction was linked to an increase in the translocation of PKC-alpha and -beta isoforms to the membrane. These results suggest that ethanol potentiates PMA-induced O-2 production through increasing PKC translocation and activity in PMNs. 相似文献

A high molecular weight proteinaceous factor in the cell extract of sarcoma 180 (S-180) was found to inhibit phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-triggering of macrophage H2O2 release. This factor (S-180 factor) was stable at 56 C for 1 hr and resistant to ultraviolet-irradiation. The S-180 factor inhibited the specific binding of PMA to macrophages and this was accompanied by a parallel reduction of PMA-triggered H2O2 release. S-180 factor preferentially depressed macrophage H2O2 release in response to phorbol diesters including PMA, 4 beta-phorbol 12 13 beta,13 alpha-diacetate, 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta,13 alpha-didecanoate, 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta,13 alpha-dibenzoate, and 4-omicron-methyl-PMA rather than the H2O2 release triggered by wheat germ agglutinin or by phagocytosis of latex particles. The S-180 factor failed to affect the PMA-elicited macrophage cell spreading and macrophage phagocytic activity against latex beads with or without PMA-mediated stimulation. A similar inhibitory factor was found in the extracts of some other murine tumor cells (Ehrlich carcinoma and thymic leukemia) and normal cells (liver, spleen, and peritoneal exudate cells). 相似文献

Linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LOOH) is a naturally occurring product of lipid peroxidation. Incubation of rat alveolar macrophages with LOOH produced alterations of membrane properties and function at concentrations of LOOH as low as 0.1 microM. These included phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated superoxide production, mitochondrial membrane potential, and plasma membrane potentials. These effects were clearly separated from gross loss of structural integrity as measured by lactate dehydrogenase release, in terms of both time of incubation and concentration of LOOH. PMA-stimulated superoxide production measured 15 min after addition of 10 microM LOOH was inhibited approximately 50%; however, addition of this concentration of the hydroperoxide after PMA stimulation was without effect. Superoxide production was also measured in a cell-free system produced by incubation of alveolar macrophages with sodium dodecyl sulfate. Prior incubation of alveolar macrophages with LOOH, H2O2, or t-butyl hydroperoxide, under conditions that significantly inhibited superoxide production by the intact cells, did not produce inhibition of the NADPH-dependent superoxide generating system in the cell-free preparation. These results suggest that the effect of LOOH was upon signal transduction involved in the stimulation of superoxide production rather than on the NADPH oxidase itself. Measurements of membrane potential changes were made using the lipophilic ions, 3,3'-dipentyloxacarbocyanine (DiOC5(3] and bis(3-phenyl-5-oxoisoxazol-4-yl)pentamethineoxonol (oxonol V). On the basis of their charge, DiOC5(3) fluorescence primarily reports mitochondrial potential and oxonol V absorbance reports plasma membrane potential. With 10 microM LOOH, depolarization of the plasma and mitochondrial membranes appeared to occur within seconds. As prior depolarization depresses superoxide production, these hydroperoxide-induced changes in membrane potential may be responsible for decreased PMA-stimulated superoxide production. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori infects the human stomach by escaping the host immune response. One mechanism of bacterial survival and mucosal damage is induction of macrophage apoptosis, which we have reported to be dependent on polyamine synthesis by arginase and ornithine decarboxylase. During metabolic back-conversion, polyamines are oxidized and release H(2)O(2), which can cause apoptosis by mitochondrial membrane depolarization. We hypothesized that this mechanism is induced by H. pylori in macrophages. Polyamine oxidation can occur by acetylation of spermine or spermidine by spermidine/spermine N(1)-acetyltransferase prior to back-conversion by acetylpolyamine oxidase, but recently direct conversion of spermine to spermidine by the human polyamine oxidase h1, also called spermine oxidase, has been demonstrated. H. pylori induced expression and activity of the mouse homologue of this enzyme (polyamine oxidase 1 (PAO1)) by 6 h in parallel with ornithine decarboxylase, consistent with the onset of apoptosis, while spermidine/spermine N(1)-acetyltransferase activity was delayed until 18 h when late stage apoptosis had already peaked. Inhibition of PAO1 by MDL 72527 or by PAO1 small interfering RNA significantly attenuated H. pylori-induced apoptosis. Inhibition of PAO1 also significantly reduced H(2)O(2) generation, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, cytochrome c release, and caspase-3 activation. Overexpression of PAO1 by transient transfection induced macrophage apoptosis. The importance of H(2)O(2) was confirmed by inhibition of apoptosis with catalase. These studies demonstrate a new mechanism for pathogen-induced oxidative stress in macrophages in which activation of PAO1 leads to H(2)O(2) release and apoptosis by a mitochondrial-dependent cell death pathway, contributing to deficiencies in host defense in diseases such as H. pylori infection. 相似文献

The capacity of 12 cytokines to induce NO2- or H2O2 release from murine peritoneal macrophages was tested by using resident macrophages, or macrophages elicited with periodate, casein, or thioglycollate broth. Elevated H2O2 release in response to PMA was observed in resident macrophages after a 48-h incubation with IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, TNF-beta, or CSF-GM. Of these, only IFN-gamma induced substantial NO2- secretion during the culture period. The cytokines inactive in both assays under the conditions tested were IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, CSF-M, and transforming growth factor-beta 1. Incubation of macrophages with IFN-gamma for 48 h in the presence of LPS inhibited H2O2 production but augmented NO2- release, whereas incubation in the presence of the arginine analog NG-monomethylarginine inhibited NO2- release but not H2O2 production. Although neither TNF-alpha nor TNF-beta induced NO2- synthesis on its own, addition of either cytokine together with IFN-gamma increased macrophage NO2- production up to six-fold over that in macrophages treated with IFN-gamma alone. Moreover, IFN-alpha or IFN-beta in combination with LPS could also induce NO2- production in macrophages, as was previously reported for IFN-gamma plus LPS. These data suggest that: 1) tested as a sole agent, IFN-gamma was the only one of the 12 cytokines capable of inducing both NO2- and H2O2 release; 2) the pathways leading to secretion of H2O2 and NO2- are independent; 3) either IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha/beta or IFN-alpha/beta/gamma and LPS can interact synergistically to induce NO2- release. 相似文献

Studies were carried out to measure changes in the transmembrane potential of rat alveolar macrophages during exposure of the cells to zymosan particles or to the membrane perturbant, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), and to determine if changes in membrane potential are related to superoxide anion release. Exposure of the cells to either zymosan or PMA leads to membrane depolarization, which precedes superoxide anion release. Furthermore, the magnitude of the depolarization is dependent upon the concentration of either zymosan or PMA. During exposure of the alveolar macrophages to increasing levels of zymosan, there is an increase in the amount of superoxide released as well as an increase in the magnitude of the depolarization. Incubation of the cells in medium containing 150 mM K+, a medium which causes membrane depolarization, leads to superoxide release from resting cells and a decrease in the amount of superoxide released from cells exposed to zymosan. These results indicate that release of superoxide anion from rat alveolar macrophages is related to membrane depolarization and suggest that the transmembrane potential change may act as a signal to initiate the phagocytotic responses of the cells. 相似文献

TNF stimulated superoxide (O2-) release directly in human granulocytes in a dose-dependent manner (1 to 1000 U/ml), although its potency was weak. TNF-induced O2- release was inhibited by cAMP agonists or ionomycin, and was not accompanied with an increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) and membrane potential changes (depolarization). These findings indicate that neither Ca2+ mobilization nor membrane depolarization is required for TNF-receptor-mediated cell activation. The pretreatment of human granulocytes with TNF enhanced O2- release and membrane depolarization in parallel stimulated by the receptor-mediated Ca2+-mobilizing agonists (FMLP, Con A, and wheat germ agglutinin) or the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin, but not by PMA, a direct activator of protein kinase C. The optimal effect was obtained by pretreatment of cells with 100 U/ml TNF for 5 to 10 min at 37 degrees C, although the magnitude of enhancement varied according to the agonists used as subsequent stimuli. TNF did not affect an increase in [Ca2+]i stimulated by the Ca2+-mobilizing agonists, except Con A. Con A-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was enhanced by TNF in a dose-dependent manner. These diverse effects of TNF could be partly explained by the exclusive potentiation by TNF of the metabolic events triggered by an increase in [Ca2+]i. 相似文献

Peritoneal resident macrophages from mice are sensitive to inhibition by cyclosporin A (CsA) of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-stimulated oxidative burst. Inhibition was assessed in terms of superoxide anion (O2.-) and H2O2 production. Key findings were as follows. (a) CsA inhibited in a dose-dependent manner the production of O2.- when cells were stimulated with PMA. CsA did not alter the respiratory burst induced by other stimuli (zymosan, concanavalin A and fMet-Leu-Phe). It was verified that CsA itself had no scavenger effect. (b) A concomitant decrease in H2O2 liberation following CsA exposure was found. This inhibition was observed both in the initial rate of synthesis and in the accumulation after 15 min of incubation. (c) NADPH oxidase activity in the crude supernatant was unaffected by the previous incubation of macrophages with CsA. CsA does not inhibit glucose transport measured as 14CO2 production. (d) The production of O2.- was strongly dependent on the glucose concentration. Sodium oleate also stimulated O2.- production in resident macrophages. These data might be correlated with the inhibitory effect of CsA upon other functions of macrophages. 相似文献

In order to examine the possible role of vitamin E on the modulation of macrophages, we investigated the effect of vitamin E on O2- and PGE2 production in macrophages. The production of both PGE2 and O2- in rat peritoneal macrophages was dose-dependently stimulated by the addition of PMA and calcium ionophore A23187. However, the macrophages obtained after intraperitoneal injection of vitamin E for six successive days showed less PGE2 and O2- production when stimulated with PMA or A23187 as compared to those of control macrophages. O2- production in control macrophages stimulated with 139 nM PMA and 1 microM A23187 as 4.2 +/- 0.3 and 3.0 +/- 0.2 nmol/min per 10(6) cells, respectively. On the other hand, O2- production by the macrophages from vitamin E-treated rats was 1.5 +/- 0.4 nmol/min per 10(6) cells when stimulated with the PMA, and was not detectable when stimulated with A23187. As for the production of PGE2, control macrophages produced 2.59 +/- 0.70 ng/30 min per 10(6) cells when stimulated with PMA and 8.96 +/- 3.26 ng/30 min per 10(6) cells with the A23187, whereas PGE2 production by the macrophages from vitamin E-treated rats was reduced to 12-20% of the control. By analyzing alpha-tocopherol content and intracellular concentration of calcium ion [( Ca2+]i) in the macrophages isolated from control and vitamin E-treated rats, vitamin E treatment augmented alpha-tocopherol content (384.7 +/- 76.1 vs. 1.2 +/- 0.4 ng/10(6) cells) and decreased free [Ca2+]i when stimulated with A23187 (652 +/- 14 vs. 1201 +/- 223 nM). 相似文献

Release of H(2)O(2) in response to Ca(2+) loads (1-100 microM) was investigated using Amplex red fluorescent assay in isolated guinea-pig brain mitochondria respiring on glutamate plus malate or succinate. In mitochondria challenged with Ca(2+) (10 microM), in the absence of adenine nucleotides and inhibitors of the respiratory chain, the rate of H(2)O(2) release, taken as an indication of H(2)O(2) production, was decreased by 21.8+/-1.6% in the presence of NADH-linked substrates and by 86.5+/-1.8% with succinate. Parallel with this, a Ca(2+)-induced loss in NAD(P)H fluorescence, sustained depolarization, decrease in fluorescent light scattering signal and in calcein fluorescence were detected indicating an increased permeability and swelling of mitochondria, which were prevented by ADP (2 mM). In the presence of ADP H(2)O(2) release from mitochondria was decreased, but Ca(2+) no longer influenced the generation of H(2)O(2). We suggest that the decreased H(2)O(2) generation induced by Ca(2+) is related to depolarization and NAD(P)H loss resulting from a non-specific permeability increase of the mitochondrial inner membrane. 相似文献

Minor components of virgin olive oil may explain the healthy effects of the Mediterranean diet on the cardiovascular system and cancer development. The uncontrolled production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and cancer, and inflammatory cells infiltrated in the atheroma plaque or tumor are a major source of ROS and eicosanoids. We aimed to determine the effects of squalene, beta-sitosterol, and tyrosol, which are representative of the hydrocarbons, sterols, and polyphenols of olive oil, respectively, on superoxide anion (O2(-)), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and nitric oxide (*NO) levels. We also studied AA release and eicosanoid production by phorbol esters (PMA)-stimulated macrophages RAW 264.7. beta-Sitosterol and tyrosol decreased the O2(-) and H2O2 production induced by PMA, and tyrosol scavenged the O2(-) released by a ROS generating system. These effects were correlated with the impairment of [3H]AA release, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, and prostaglandin E(2)/leukotriene B(4) synthesis in RAW 264.7 cultures stimulated by PMA. beta-Sitosterol exerted its effects after 3-6 h of preincubation. Tyrosol inhibited the [3H]AA release induced by exogenous ROS. beta-Sitosterol and tyrosol also reduced the *NO release induced by PMA, which was correlated with the impairment of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) levels. This may be correlated with the modulation of NF-kappaB activation. Further studies are required to gain more insight into the potential healthy effects of minor components of extra virgin olive oil. 相似文献

Formyl peptide stimulation of superoxide anion release from lung macrophages: sodium and potassium involvement 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We examined the role of the monovalent cations Na+ and K+ in the events encompassing the release of O-2 by alveolar macrophages after stimulation with formyl methionyl phenylalanine (FMP). This was accomplished by determining the effect of changing the extracellular [Na+] and/or [K+] on FMP-stimulated O-2 production; and measuring 22Na+, 42K+ and 86Rb+ influx and efflux and intracellular [K+] for control and FMP-stimulated alveolar macrophages. Stimulated O-2 production was relatively insensitive to changes in extracellular K+ or Na+ concentrations until the [Na+] was decreased below 35 mM. At 4 mM [Na+], the rate of O-2 production remained at 75% of the maximal rate observed at physiological concentrations of [Na+]. Both influx and efflux of 22Na+ were stimulated above control rates by FMP. The increased rates of fluxes lasted for a few minutes suggesting a transient increase in membrane permeability to Na+. Ouabain partially inhibited 22Na+ efflux but had no effect on O-2 release. The influx of 86Rb+ and 42K+ was not altered by the addition of FMP but was virtually abolished in the presence of 10 microM ouabain or 1 mM quinine. In the presence of extracellular calcium, FMP-stimulated a prolonged (greater than 20 minutes) increase in 86Rb+ or 42K+ efflux which was inhibitable by 1 mM quinine. In the absence of extracellular calcium, FMP stimulation of K+ efflux was greatly diminished and was not affected by quinine, although quinine still inhibited O-2 production under these conditions. It was also observed that there was a loss of intracellular K+ when cells were stimulated by FMP in the presence of Ca+2, but not in the absence of Ca+2. Taken together, these results suggest a minimal direct role, if any, for K+ in the events that lead to FMP-stimulated O-2 release by alveolar macrophages. 相似文献

Experimental extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) was induced in guinea pigs with Saccharopolyspora rectivirgula. Bronchoalveolar lavages were performed before inducing EAA (day 1, BAL 1), on day 23 (BAL 2), and on day 48 (BAL 3). The number of cells/ml in lavage fluid was increased at BAL 2 (4.79 x 10(6) and BAL 3 (4.29 x 10(6)) compared with BAL 1 (0.56 x 10(6)). The number of major cell types increased simultaneously, neutrophil becoming the predominant cell type over alveolar macrophages (AM). The production of H2O2 by AM was measured at the different phases of EAA. Adherent AM were either non-stimulated or triggered with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), zymosan. S. rectivirgula opsonized with normal guinea pig serum (SRNS), or S. rectivirgula opsonized with guinea pig anti-S, rectivirgula serum (SRAS). Stimulated AM produced larger quantities of H2O2 than unstimulated cells, PMA being the most potent stimulus. At day 1, AM stimulated with S. rectivirgula and zymosan produced similar quantities of H2O2. After the induction of the disease, AM stimulated with S. rectivirgula produced larger quantities of H2O2 than with zymosan. Production of H2O2 by AM stimulated with S. rectivirgula or PMA, respectively, stayed the same at day 1 and 23, but increased sharply for both stimuli at day 48. There was no difference between H2O2 production by AM triggered with SRNS or with SRAS.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Aggregation and the activation of the granulocyte (PMN) superoxide (O2-) generating system occur when certain stimuli are added to resting cells. It had previously been postulated that PMN aggregation is essential for maximal O2- production. This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that PMN aggregation is required for full expression of PMN O2- production. We examined aggregation and O2- production induced by four stimuli; concanavalin A (Con A), phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), and ionophore A23187. Cytochalasin B enhanced aggregation by all four stimuli but only enhanced the rate of O2- production by Con A; 2-deoxyglucose inhibited aggregation by all stimuli. Dissociation of PMN aggregation and O2- production was achieved by using NEM, TPCK, and divalent cations. NEM and TPCK prevent Con A-induced O2- production but have no effect on Con A-induced aggregation. PMA-stimulated PMN generate O2- in the presence or absence of Ca++ and Mg++. In contrast, PMA stimulated maximum PMN aggregation only in the presence of both Ca++ and Mg++. Thus PMN can generate O2- without aggregating, and PMN can aggregate without producing O2-. PMN from patients with chronic granulomatous disease do not generate O2- or undergo membrane potential depolarization in response to PMA. These PMN aggregated when stimulated with PMA, providing evidence that depolarization is not required for PMN aggregation. We conclude that aggregation and the activation of the O2- generating system, though temporally related, are not necessarily causally related. 相似文献

Abstract Endotoxin-associated protein (EP) from Salmonella typhi stimulated the release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and interferon (IFN) activity in macrophages from the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) responder C3H/OuJ mouse strain. However, only PGE2 and IL-1 were stimulated by EP in macrophages from the LPS nonresponder C3H/HeJ mouse strain. LPS stimulated the release of PGE2, IL-1 and IFN activity in C3H/OuJ macrophages, but not in C3H/HeJ macrophages. The protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol myristic acid (PMA) stimulated PGE2 production in both strains but not IL-1 production, suggesting that signalling pathways other than PKC may be involved in IL-1 production. The calcium ionophore ionomycin stimulated PGE2 production in C3H/OuJ but not C3H/HeJ macrophages, suggesting a defective calcium-related pathway in the C3H/HeJ macrophages as compared to the C3H/OuJ cells. 相似文献

Rats fed a selenium-deficient diet for 12 to 15 wk became selenium-depleted, measured by the selenium content of liver and granulocytes. The activity of granulocyte glutathione peroxidase, a selenoenzyme, in deficient rats was 11% of the activity in replete rat granulocytes. When stimulated with an H2O2 generating system, the HMPS activity of the deficient granulocytes was 50% of replete; however, when stimulated with methylene blue, the HMPS activity in deficient and replete granulocytes was the same. When granulocytes were incubated with PMA or OPZ, deficient granulocytes initially had the same O-2-generating activity as replete granulocytes; however, with increasing duration of stimulation, granulocytes from deficient rats generated less O-2 than replete rats. After 20 min in an H2O2-generating system, deficient granulocytes stimulated with PMA or OPZ generated less O-2 than replete granulocytes. These results indicate that deficient granulocytes did not metabolize H2O2 as well as replete granulocytes and that H2O2 caused damage to the O2-generating system. Measurement of O-2 generation in membrane-enriched particles showed the above effects were due to inactivation of the NADPH-dependent O2-generating system. Deficient granulocytes stimulated with OPZ for 20 min had 70% less membrane O-2-generating activity than controls. In addition, when membrane-enriched particles were made from cells that had been stressed with an H2O2-generating system, NADPH-dependent O-2-generating activity in deficient granulocytes was 50% of replete. In selenium-deficient granulocytes with low GSH-Px activity, prolonged incubation with stimulants and prior incubations with an H2O2-generating system caused loss of activity of the membrane-bound, NADPH-dependent, O-2-generating system. 相似文献

DGKgamma (diacylglycerol kinase gamma) was reported to interact with beta2-chimaerin, a GAP (GTPase-activating protein) for Rac, in response to epidermal growth factor. Here we found that PMA and H2O2 also induced the interaction of DGKgamma with beta2-chimaerin. It is noteworthy that simultaneous addition of PMA and H2O2 synergistically enhanced the interaction. In this case, PMA was replaceable by DAG (diacylglycerol). The beta2-chimaerin translocation from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane caused by PMA plus H2O2 was further enhanced by the expression of DGKgamma. Moreover, DGKgamma apparently enhanced the beta2-chimaerin GAP activity upon cell stimulation with PMA. PMA was found to be mainly required for a conversion of beta2-chimaerin into an active form. On the other hand, H2O2 was suggested to induce a release of Zn2+ from the C1 domain of beta2-chimaerin. By stepwise deletion analysis, we demonstrated that the SH2 (Src homology 2) and C1 domains of beta2-chimaerin interacted with the N-terminal half of catalytic region of DGKgamma. Unexpectedly, the SH2 domain of beta2-chimaerin contributes to the interaction independently of phosphotyrosine. Taken together, these results suggest that the functional link between DGKgamma and beta2-chimaerin has a broad significance in response to a wide range of cell stimuli. Our work offers a novel mechanism of protein-protein interaction, that is, the phosphotyrosine-independent interaction of the SH2 domain acting in co-operation with the C1 domain. 相似文献

Pretreatment of macrophages with, an agonist of PKC, showed diverse effects on degradation and survival of two virulent strains of Leishmania donovani promastigotes. Treatment of macrophages with PMA for 45 min at 37 degrees C generated significant amounts of superoxide anions and reduced the parasite burden of macrophages by up to 48 and 43% when AG83 and GE-1 strains were used for infection. Staurosporine, an inhibitor of PKC, inhibited PMA-dependent killing of the parasites, while tyrphostin AG 126, an inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinase, showed very little effect. Depletion of PKC by prolonged incubation with PMA drastically reduced the superoxide anion generation and increased the uptake and multiplication of the parasites. Finally, to understand the mechanism of higher uptake of the parasites by PKC-depleted macrophages, membrane microviscosity was measured by fluorescence depolarization. Membrane microviscosity was found to be approximately 40% lower in PKC-depleted macrophages than in normal macrophages, indicating the role of membrane fluidity in the infection process. Together, these data suggest PKC activation, superoxide generation, and membrane fluidity are essential factors in the efficient regulation of leishmanial infection. 相似文献

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) enhances the capacity of murine macrophages to secrete oxygen reduction products 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

The capacity of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) to enhance respiratory burst activity in peritoneal macrophages was measured. Macrophages incubated for 48 hr or more with concentrated L cell-conditioned medium as a source of M-CSF released two to three times as much O2- in response to PMA as did unexposed macrophages. Stimulation was noted at concentrations of colony-stimulating activity from 0.1 to 2000 U/ml and was maximal at 10 to 100 U/ml. Purified, endotoxin-free CSF enhanced secretion to a similar degree as unpurified L cell-conditioned medium. Release of O2- by M-CSF macrophages occurred over 60 min and was triggered by opsonized zymosan as well as PMA. H2O2 release was also enhanced in macrophages exposed to both unpurified and purified M-CSF. These data indicate that M-CSF enhances the capacity of mature macrophages to release oxygen reduction products, and they are consistent with reports that CSF can stimulate the release of other secretory products. 相似文献
