We have elaborated a system for testing the phagocytic activity of human blood platelets. Blood was sampled to heparin and ACD and centrifuged. This procedure yields platelet rich plasma (PRP). As a substrate for phagocytosis we used Staphylococcus aureus 209P. The ratio of platelets to bacteria is 1:1. Incubation of bacteria and platelets continued up to 10 minutes. Lysostaphine was introduced to the phagocytic system to destroy all bacteria outside the blood platelets. The maximal values for the percentage of phagocytizing blood platelets were 0.7% and the phagocytosis index of 1.0 was reached at 6 minutes with incubation of bacteria and platelets. The authors pay attention to the role of blood platelets in antibacterial mechanisms. 相似文献

On the basis of a previously elaborated method for testing the phagocytic ability of human blood platelets we have undertaken studies for testing the distribution of peroxidase in phagocytizing platelets. Our findings confirmed the distribution of peroxidase in the dense tubular system and in granules in regular blood platelets. In the course of phagocytosis we noted the presence of peroxidase less evidently in both subcellular structures during the first of 5 minutes. In the next steps we observed the localization of this enzyme mainly near the phagolysosome. The change of this localization and the role of this enzyme in unspecific immunity against bacteria and neoplasia is briefly discussed. 相似文献

Two processes are involved in the accumulation of acridine orange in human blood platelets. One follows a diffusion like kinetics and is independent of the ATP level whereas the second one can be completely abolished by ATP depletion. The acridine orange incorporation rate seems to be a suitable parameter for testing platelet integrity. It reflects very sensitively the influence of the preparation method as well as of anticoagulating substances used on the stability of platelet suspensions. The rates of acridine orange incorporation and of aggregation were measured in platelet-rich plasma and in saline suspended platelets after gel filtration, respectively, over a period of 120 min storage. Both rates are influenced to a different degree by anticoagulating agents such as citrate, heparin and EDTA. When contact with anticoagulating agents during platelet preparation is avoided, platelets show a constant acridine orange incorporation and aggregation during storage and the smallest morphological alteration. 相似文献

In 16 men and 25 women we tested the phagocytic activity of blood platelets. In women a higher phagocytosis index, increased blood platelet count and lower percentage of phagocytizing cells could be noted in comparison to men. Blood platelet count was significantly higher in women than in men. From this group we chose 10 men and 10 women and determined the plasma thrombopoietic activity. The results obtained were divided into two subgroups A with high and B low plasma thrombopoietic activity. In subgroup A a higher blood platelet count and phagocytosis index and a decreased percentage of phagocytizing platelets in relation to subgroup B could be found. The phagocytic activity of blood platelets in relation to sex and plasma thrombopoietic activity is briefly discussed. The role of blood platelets in antibacterial mechanisms is emphasized. 相似文献

Fibronectin and wound healing 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

I have tried to briefly review the evidence (summarized in Table II) indicating that fibronectin is important in cutaneous wound healing. Fibronectin appears to be an important factor throughout this process. It promotes the spreading of platelets at the site of injury, the adhesion and migration of neutrophils, monocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells into the wound region, and the migration of epidermal cells through the granulation tissue. At the level of matrix synthesis, fibronectin appears to be involved both in the organization of the granulation tissue and basement membrane. In terms of tissue remodeling, fibronectin functions as a nonimmune opsonin for phagocytosis of debris by fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and under some circumstances, macrophages. Fibronectin also enhances the phagocytosis of immune-opsonized particles by monocytes, but whether this includes phagocytosis of bacteria remains to be determined. In general, phagocytosis of bacteria has not appeared to involve fibronectin. On the contrary, the presence of fibronectin in the wound bed may promote bacterial attachment and infection. Because of the ease of experimental manipulations, wound healing experiments have been carried out on skin more frequently than other tissues. As a result, the possible role of fibronectin has not been investigated thoroughly in the repair of internal organs and tissues. Nevertheless, it seems reasonable to speculate that fibronectin plays a central role in all wound healing situations. Finally, the wound healing problems of patients with severe factor XIII deficiencies may occur because of their inability to incorporate fibronectin into blood clots. 相似文献

Many endocarditis pathogens activate human platelets and this has been proposed to contribute to virulence. Here we report for the first time that many clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecalis, a common pathogen in infective endocarditis, aggregate human platelets. 84 isolates from human blood and urine were screened for their ability to aggregate platelets from four different donors. Platelet aggregation occurred for between 11 and 65% of isolates depending on the donor. In one donor, a significantly larger proportion of isolates from blood than from urine caused platelet aggregation. Median time to aggregation was 11 min and had a tendency to be shorter for blood isolates as compared to urine isolates. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) was shown to be essential in mediating activation and aggregation. Platelet aggregation could be abolished by an IgG-specific proteinase (IdeS), by an antibody blocking FcRγIIa on platelets, or by preabsorption of plasma with an E. faecalis isolate. Fibrinogen binding to bacteria or platelets does not contribute to platelet activation or aggregation under our experimental conditions. These results indicate that platelet activation and aggregation by E. faecalis is dependent on both host and bacterial factors and that it may be involved in the pathogenesis of invasive disease with this organism. 相似文献

This paper presents the mathematical modeling of the possibility of blood platelets activation by lipopolysaccharides, which are components of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria, through the toll-like receptor TLR4. We have developed both complete and reduced models of the platelet signaling cascade triggered by TLR4 considering the known kinetics of intracellular signaling enzymes and the contents of the proteins that participate in the TLR4 signaling cascade in human platelets. The results of our simulation show that the concentration of the soluble CD14 protein, which is necessary for the activation of platelets by lipopolysaccharides via TLR4, is insufficient for platelet activation in the blood of healthy donors. Thus, our results suggest that blood platelets can be activated by lipopolysaccharides through TLR4 only in cases of strong activation of the immune system accompanied by an increase in CD14 concentration in the blood. 相似文献

Although most isolated cells can be successfully cryopreserved, human granulocytes have little functional recovery after cryopreservation, even under optimized conditions. Cytoplasts, which are vesicles created from human granulocytes by depletion of organelles including granules and the nucleus, can carry out some of the complex functions of the parent granulocyte such as phagocytosis of bacteria, even after cryopreservation. Human granulocytes and cytoplasts were used in this comparative study of low-temperature responses to assess the relative importance of the plasma membrane and the granules in cryoinjury to human granulocytes. Boyle-van't Hoff plots of cell volume as a function of the reciprocal of osmolality showed that granulocytes and cytoplasts have similar osmometric behavior and equivalent osmotically inactive fractions. The hydraulic conductivities were also similar, indicating that the osmotic properties of the plasma membrane and cytoplasm were retained during preparation of the cytoplasts. Assessment of membrane integrity using fluorescein diacetate after graded freezing stresses showed that the low-temperature responses of cytoplasts were similar to those of human lymphocytes and hamster fibroblasts, with recoveries much higher than those of human granulocytes, particularly after post-thaw incubation at 37 degrees C. The results indicate that the plasma membrane is not the primary site of injury to granulocytes during freezing and thawing, and suggest that activation of cytoplasmic elements, such as granules, may constitute the early events in cryoinjury to human granulocytes. These studies have significance in approaches to the cryopreservation of granulocytes and other types of cells, such as platelets, with increased sensitivity to the conditions encountered during freezing and thawing. 相似文献

We examined the serum requirements for surface phagocytosis of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli and for the subsequent chemiluminescent response of human neutrophils. Substantial surface phagocytosis of S. epidermidis occurred in the absence of opsonins, although the presence of 10% pooled or heat-inactivated serum significantly increased phagocytosis. There was no significant difference between these opsonins, indicating that surface phagocytosis of S. epidermidis did not require complement. Unopsonized E. coli were not as readily phagocytized as S. epidermidis (33% versus 57%). In contrast to S. epidermidis optimal phagocytosis of E. coli required complement as 10% heat inactivated donor serum (HHS) was significantly less effective as an opsonin than 10% pooled healthy donor serum (PHS). The time kinetics for phagocytosis of each organism were similar, with most of the phagocytosis occurring in the first 10 min. The chemiluminescent response of neutrophils produced discrepant results. Maximal chemiluminescence was observed when neutrophils were stimulated with bacteria opsonized in PHS. The response to HHS-opsonized bacteria was less, and chemiluminescence to unopsonized bacteria was only marginally higher than the control, even though there was relatively good phagocytosis. These results define the opsonic requirements for surface phagocytosis of S. epidermidis and E. coli and indicate that although complement may not be required for phagocytosis, it is necessary for generation of a maximal oxidative burst, and thus may be essential for efficient intracellular killing. 相似文献

Platelet physiology: in cold blood 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
One of the impediments precluding long-term storage of platelets for blood transfusion is that refrigerated platelets are rapidly cleared from the circulation upon transfusion. New evidence suggests that this clearance is mediated in the liver by the Mac-1 integrin on Kupffer cells recognizing clustered GPIb receptor on platelets, leading to platelet phagocytosis. 相似文献

The addition of latex particles to native (no anticoagulant) or citrated human platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or to a once-washed platelet suspension causes platelet aggregation. This aggregation is associated with phagocytosis of the latex particles by the platelets and appears to be due to release of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from the platelets. Adenosine and adenosine monophosphate, which are known to inhibit platelet aggregation induced by ADP, also block that induced by latex. These compounds do not prevent the phagocytosis of latex particles by the platelet. The addition of iodoacetate and 2,4-dinitrophenol in appropriate concentrations to the PRP, prior to the addition of the latex, blocks platelet aggregation and phagocytosis. This is also true for the chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). Platelets left in contact with latex for a sufficient period of time show loss of their granules. Leucocytes phagocytose both latex and platelets that had themselves phagocytosed latex. It is concluded that phagocytosis of latex particles by platelets resembles that by white cells, and that in both processes metabolic changes appear to be involved. 相似文献

Monocytes interact and cross-talk with platelets in many settings including inflammation, hemostasis, or vascular disorders. During inflammatory diseases, there is a rapid targeting of monocytes and platelets to points of inflammation and endothelial injury, where they lie side-by-side. In this in vitro study, we investigated different interactions between monocytes and platelets and elucidated whether platelets might affect monocyte apoptosis. Freshly isolated human monocytes were rendered apoptotic by serum deprivation or CD95 ligation and cocultured with platelets. Monocyte apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry, TUNEL staining, DNA electrophoresis, and transmission electron microscopy imaging. We could show that monocyte apoptosis was highly suppressed when platelets were added to the cultures. Transmission electron microscopy depicted that monocytes completely ingested thrombocytes by phagocytosis. Blocking thrombocyte uptake by the phagocytosis inhibitor cytochalasin D abrogated the enhanced monocyte survival and led to high apoptosis levels. Monocyte survival was paralleled by down-regulation of caspase-9 and -3 and up-regulation of heat shock protein 70 during uptake of platelets. Platelet supernatants and contents of platelet granules were ineffective in altering monocyte senescence. Also, ingestion of latex beads or zymosan by monocytes was ineffective to mimic platelet-dependent rescue from apoptosis. In conclusion, this study shows that platelets can suppress apoptosis of monocytes by a specific phagocytosis-dependent process with further consequences for atherosclerotic or inflammatory conditions. 相似文献

Phagocytosis represents a central element of the host response to microbial invasion. We describe a flow cytometric method for measuring the kinetics of phagocytosis of two bacteria by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). Over a 60-min period, isolated human PMNs were exposed to Staphylococcus aureus (rapidly phagocytosed) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (slowly phagocytosed). This method distinguished adherent from ingested bacteria by quenching fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled extracellular bacteria with ethidium bromide. This further allowed the exclusion of dead, highly permeable, and subsequently bright-red fluorescent PMNs. Our experiments with two different bacteria, various PMN-to-bacteria ratios (1:1, 1:10, 1:100), and different individuals proved that 1) flow cytometric analysis is accurate and useful for characterizing phagocytosis, 2) adherent bacteria can be distinguished from ingested bacteria after quenching with ethidium bromide, and that 3) phagocytosis kinetics of two bacteria with different onsets of phagocytosis can be determined by flow cytometry and the assessment of a score that quantifies phagocytosis. 相似文献

Adherence and phagocytosis of invasive and noninvasive Neisseria meningitidis strains was investigated using light, fluorescence and electron microscopy. Invasive strains were isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid and/or blood of the patients with invasive meningococcal disease and noninvasive strains from the nasopharynx and/or larynx of healthy carriers. Adherence/endocytosis was studied on monkey kidney cells (the LLC-MK2 cell line) and phagocytosis on mouse monocytes and human macrophages (the P388D1 and U-937 cell lines, respectively). Although invasive and noninvasive meningococci isolated in the same cluster showed identical genotype and phenotype markers, they were found to interact differently with epithelial cells as well as with monocytes/macrophages. Invasive isolates displayed higher adherence to the surface of LLC-MK2 cells compared to noninvasive ones. Phagocytosis by P388D1 cells of noninvasive strains was effective and the bacteria were damaged by cytolysis. In contrast, invasive bacteria frequently persisted in "coiling" vacuoles and in effect could destroy the host cell. This is the first demonstration of coiling phagocytosis induced by meningococci. Efficiency of phagocytosis by U-937 cells was significantly higher for the noninvasive than invasive strains. Different behaviour of invasive and noninvasive strains of N. meningitidis observed during 4 hours of interactions with epithelial cells and monocytes/macrophages reflects well the higher pathogenic potential of invasive bacteria. 相似文献

1. Adenylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.3) has been shown to be present in human plasma obtained by conventional means and the adenylate-kinase activities of plasma and of lysed and intact human platelets and erythrocytes have been measured at 37 degrees by sensitive spectrophotometric methods. 2. The activities found in plasma ranged from 2.7 to 22.9mumoles of ADP formed/min./l. and in lysed platelets and lysed erythrocytes mean values of 0.79 and 12.0mumoles of ADP formed/min./10(9) cells respectively were found. Intact platelets and erythrocytes showed little or no activity. 3. The apparent K(m) of plasma adenylate kinase for ADP was found to be 1.4-1.6mm. 4. The adenylate-kinase activity of plasma was correlated with the free haemoglobin present and the larger part of the activity could be accounted for by haemolysis occurring either during the withdrawal of the blood or in vivo. 5. Aggregation of platelets by ADP, collagen fibres or thrombin released up to 16% of the platelet adenylate kinase into the suspending medium. 6. Measurement of the rate of breakdown of 1.6mum-ADP in plasma gave values of about 0.1mmu-mole/min./ml. This was not increased by addition of sufficient erythrocyte lysate to increase the activity of plasma adenylate kinase five to ten times. 7. It was concluded that the activity of adenylate kinase found in plasma, even after aggregation of the platelets, is insufficient to account for the rate of breakdown of low concentrations of ADP usually observed, and that another enzyme is responsible for this process. 相似文献

We have used salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) to inhibit intraphagosomal myeloperoxidase activity in order to evaluate the role of this enzyme in the killing of Staphylococcus aureus by human neutrophils. 50 microM-SHAM reduced the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence response stimulated during phagocytosis of unopsonized latex beads and opsonized S. aureus by over 80% and 60%, respectively. When opsonized S. aureus were incubated with neutrophils, 45% were killed within 15 min incubation and 60% by 1 h. However, in neutrophil suspensions incubated with 50 microM-SHAM, only 13% were killed by 15 min whilst 71% still remained viable after 1 h. This inhibitor had no effect upon the number of bacteria phagocytosed or upon degranulation. In a cell-free system, 2.5 microM-H2O2 alone killed 55% of the bacteria, whereas in the presence of myeloperoxidase (i.e. 10 mU myeloperoxidase and 2.5 microM-H2O2) virtually all of the bacteria were killed: the addition of 50 microM-SHAM abolished this myeloperoxidase-enhanced killing but did not affect the H2O2-dependent killing. We therefore conclude that in normal neutrophils whilst H2O2 is required for killing of this pathogen, both myeloperoxidase-dependent and -independent pathways exist. 相似文献

A new method has been developed for the evaluation of the phagocytic activity of human leukocytes using fluorescently labeled bacteria and flow cytometry. By simultaneous measurement of cellular light scatter and fluorescence, extracellular bacteria, phagocytes, and nonphagocytes could be discriminated and quantified. All leukocytes assumed to be capable of phagocytosis were phagocytosing, and about 90% of these cells were polymorphonuclear neutrophilic granulocytes. Within 15 min 85% of the bacteria were phagocytosed and each phagocyte contained an average of 15-20 bacteria. The phagocytic capacity of the leukocytes from healthy individuals showed minor interindividual and day-to-day variations. This method facilitates a rapid and accurate in vitro evaluation of the phagocytic activity of human leukocytes. 相似文献

In vitro oxidation of alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) in human platelets upon incubation with unsaturated fatty acids, diamide and superoxide 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
G T Vatassery 《Biochimica et biophysica acta》1987,926(2):160-169
Incubation of human blood platelets in vitro in Tyrode solution with unsaturated fatty acids, diamide or superoxide (generated in situ) resulted in the oxidation of tocopherol in the platelets. Arachidonate concentrations of (3-5).10(-4) M caused a 50% decrease in platelet alpha-tocopherol. The addition of saturated fatty acids or platelet-active substances such as ADP, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, and some prostaglandins, or peroxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide and tert-butylhydroperoxide to the incubation medium did not cause any change in platelet tocopherol content. During incubations of platelets with arachidonate, malonaldehyde as well as alpha-tocopherolquinone were produced. The latter was also produced during incubations with diamide or superoxide. The oxidation of tocopherol induced by unsaturated fatty acids may be one factor responsible for the well-known increase in dietary vitamin E requirements induced by polyunsaturated fatty acids. The oxidative consumption of tocopherol in the membranes could be expected to take place during localized release of oxidants such as superoxide and polyunsaturated fatty acids during normal biological function (e.g., phagocytosis) or pathological processes (e.g., ischemia). Tocopherol utilization is kept low probably by the regeneration of the compound by vitamin C and/or the preferential utilization of the other biological antioxidants. 相似文献

Myeloperoxidase is proposed to play a central role in bacterial killing by generating hypochlorous acid within neutrophil phagosomes. However, it has yet to be demonstrated that these inflammatory cells target hypochlorous acid against bacteria inside phagosomes. In this investigation, we treated Staphylococcus aureus with varying concentrations of reagent hypochlorous acid and found that even at sublethal doses, it converted some tyrosine residues in their proteins to 3-chlorotyrosine and 3,5-dichlorotyrosine. To determine whether or not ingested bacteria were exposed to hypochlorous acid in neutrophil phagosomes, we labeled their proteins with [(13)C(6)]tyrosine and used gas chromatography with mass spectrometry to identify the corresponding chlorinated isotopes after the bacteria had been phagocytosed. Chlorinated tyrosines were detected in bacterial proteins 5 min after phagocytosis and reached levels of approximately 2.5/1000 mol of tyrosine at 60 min. Inhibitor studies revealed that chlorination was dependent on myeloperoxidase. Chlorinated neutrophil proteins were also detected and accounted for 94% of total chlorinated tyrosine residues formed during phagocytosis. We conclude that hypochlorous acid is a major intracellular product of the respiratory burst. Although some reacts with the bacteria, most reacts with neutrophil components. 相似文献

Phagocytosis, intracellular pH, and cell volume in the multifunctional analysis of granulocytes by flow cytometry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Phagocytosis of Escherichia coli K12 strain bacteria was used to measure by flow cytometry the functional activities of human granulocytes in whole blood or buffy coat preparations. In a first measurement, the increase in electric cell volume and acridine orange (AO) green and red fluorescence were used to quantify the degree of phagocytosis. In a second measurement, the intracellular pH and esterase activity of each cell were determined with 1,4-diacetoxy-2,3-dicyanobenzene to obtain information on the metabolic activities during phagocytosis and degradation of bacteria. The DNA of dead cells was simultaneously counterstained with propidium iodide in both assays. The volume, the AO green and red fluorescence, the internal pH, and esterase activity were automatically averaged for all granulocytes or lymphocytes of a measurement. The calculated mean values were transferred into the self-learning database of the DIAGNOS1-program system. The functional granulocyte parameters of normal healthy individuals can be used as reference values for the automated diagnosis of abnormal granulocytes in various infectious disease states. The assays require 1 ml of heparinized whole blood and the results are available within 1 hour. 相似文献
