The paper deals with the results obtained by investigating the function of phagocytes (ingestion and bactericidity) in germs of a stem of staphylococcus aureus 209 and escherichia coli 0-III of mature neutrophilic granulocytes in 30 patients with chronic, not-lymphocytic leukaemia. The ingestion corresponded to the norm. Bactericidity towards the germs of staphylococcus aureus was statistically significant decreased, viz. it was retarded as well as diminished. In certain patients this deviation from the norm found a particularly strong expression, which became evident in clinical appearances. As it was to be expected, no interconnection could be detected between the activity of alkaline granulocytic phosphatase and the function of phagocytosis. 相似文献

Summary The importance of charged groups during phagocytic recognition of filamentous Cyanobacteria (Oscillatoria formosa andAnabaena spp.) by the stenophagic ciliatePseudomicrothorax dubius has been studied. Anionic and cationic domains are evenly and randomly distributed over the cyanobacterial surface, as demonstrated with scanning electron microscopy following labeling with colloidal gold (–) and colloidal gold coupled with poly-L-lysine (+). The phagocytosis ofOscillatoria was inhibited when filaments were treated with cationic reagents such as poly-L-lysine (pLL), FeCl3 and carbodiimide. In contrast elimination of cationic charges on theOscillatoria surface by treatment with poly-L-glutamic acid (pLGa) or colloidal gold did not affect phagocytosis. The effects of sequential treatment with pLL and pLGa demonstrated that pLL reduced phagocytosis of pLGa-pretreatedOscillatoria, whereas the pLGa restored phagocytosis of pLL-pretreated filaments. Scanning electron microscopy showed that pLL- or pLGa- treated filaments can still adsorb the oppositely charged colloidal gold particles on their surface. However, the treatment of filaments with pLL followed by pLGa prevented subsequent labeling with gold as well as with pLL-gold particles. Filaments ofAnabaena spp., which are not normally ingested byPseudomicrothorax, were also treated individually or sequentially with pLL and pLGa. None of these treatments, however, provoked phagocytosis ofAnabaena byPseudomicrothorax. We suggest that the surface charge alone does not play a crucial role in phagocytic recognition inPseudomicrothorax and that phagocytosis-specific molecules are implicated. 相似文献

Agarose-gelatin microspherules about 0.5 micron or larger are prepared with emulsification of 4% agarose-gelatin sol containing 0.2 M N-octylglucoside in an organic phase composed of cyclohexane, egg lecithin, Span 80, and ethanol, followed by extraction of lipophilic components with cyclohexane and ether. Colloidal gold particles are then introduced into microspherules using gold chloride reacting at room temperature with tannic acid in a specified concentration range. After they have been coated with bovine serum albumin or mouse IgG, colloidal gold-labeled microspherules can be readily phagocytized by mouse L-cells and P388 cells after incubation for several hours. In addition to their use as a novel marker for phagocytosis, we discuss other potential uses for these colloidal gold-labeled microspherules. 相似文献

Ceramide kinase (CerK) has important roles in leukocyte functions, including the role in degranulation of mast cells and the
phagocytosis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, so its expression levels should be strictly regulated. Here, we report that
the mRNA expression and enzyme activity of CerK were decreased during macrophage-like cell differentiation of the leukemia
cell line HL-60, yet neither was altered during granulocytic differentiation of the same cells. Our findings demonstrate that
HL-60 cells are useful for studying CerK functions in leukocyte differentiation, and they also suggest that CerK might have
an important role in such differentiation. 相似文献

The qualitative and quantitative effects of physiological concentrations of chorionic gonadotropin (CG) on monocytes of women vary with the phases of the menstrual cycle. During the follicular phase, the hormone inhibits phagocytosis; stimulates the secretion of interleukin (IL) 6 (IL-6), interferon α (IFN-α), and the protein component of apolipoprotein A1 (APO-A1); and activates myeloperoxidase (MPO). During the luteal phase, CG stimulates phagocytosis and APO-A1 secretion, inhibits MPO, and does not shift the levels of IL-6 and INF-α. Regardless of the menstrual phase, the hormone does not modify the release of elastase or the production of granulocytic colony-stimulating growth factor, IL-1α, and tumor necrosis factor α. 相似文献

C3bi receptors (CR3) on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) bind ligand-coated particles and promote their ingestion. The binding activity of CR3 is not constitutive but is transiently enabled by phorbol esters (Wright, S. D., and B. D. Meyer, 1986, J. Immunol. 136:1759-1764). Our observations indicate that the capacity of CR3 to bind ligand is tightly correlated with the degree of ligand-independent aggregation of the receptor in the plane of the membrane. Fixed PMN were labeled with anti-CR3 monoclonal antibodies and streptavidin colloidal gold before viewing in the electron microscope either en face or in thin section. On unstimulated PMN, gold particles marking CR3 were dispersed randomly. Stimulation of PMN for 25 min with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) dramatically enhances binding of C3bi-coated particles, and the CR3 on such stimulated cells was observed in clusters containing more than six gold particles. CR3 was not aggregated over coated pits. After 50 min in PMA, the binding activity of CR3 falls, and the distribution of CR3 was again observed to be disperse. If a hydrophilic phorbol ester was washed away after a 20-min stimulation, binding activity remains elevated for at least 50 min, and CR3 remained aggregated. Thus, clustering of CR3 was temporally correlated with its ability to bind ligand and initiate phagocytosis. Unlike CR3, Fc receptors and HLA did not exhibit changes in their aggregation state in response to PMA. Treating PMN with formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, which enhances expression of CR3 but not its function, did not lead to aggregation of CR3. These observations suggest that a clustered configuration is a precondition necessary for binding ligand and signaling phagocytosis. 相似文献

Early recognition of manifestations of gold intoxication is important to the treatment of such complications. Proper dosage schedules should be followed and blood and urine frequently examined.Most toxic manifestations subside, but those which become worse or which do not subside on withdrawal of the gold should be treated with BAL (2, 3-Dimercaptopropanol).BAL has a toxicity of its own and is painful on injection. Since BAL combines with gold, the therapeutic effect of the metal may be lost after such treatment.The beneficial effects of methionine and methionine plus BAL in treatment of experimentally induced gold intoxication of animals suggests such combined therapy in the treatment of clinical complications of gold poisoning. A schedule of combined antidotes is outlined. 相似文献

Effects of LETS glycoprotein on cell motility 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22
Addition of LETS glycoprotein to normal or transformed cells produces increased migration of the cells, as determined by formation of phagokinetic tracks on gold particle-coated coverslips. These tracks arise by a combination of phagocytosis of the gold particles and cellular migration. Increased motility is also evident on plastic in the absence of gold particles. The added LETS protein attaches to the cells in a fibrillar network, and binding is greater to normal than to transformed cells. The effects of LETS protein on migration are consistent with its effects on cell adhesion, morphology and cytoskeleton, and have potential implications for the determination of cellular migration in vivo. 相似文献

The time course of changes in the activity, intensity and completeness of phagocytosis with leukocytes of the peritoneal exudate was studied on mice with experimental staphylococcal infection treated with rifampicin, lincomycin and inactivated staphylococcal vaccine used alone or in combination. It was shown that immunization of the animals with inactivated staphylococcal vaccine promoted stimulation of the phagocytic defense. Rifampicin and lincomycin applied therapeutically induced a decrease in the activity, intensity and completeness of phagocytosis. It should be noted that rifampicin had a less pronounced inhibitory effect than lincomycin. The combined use of vaccine and antibiotics with therapeutic purposes promoted an increase in phagocytosis as compared to the use of the antibiotics alone. The combined therapy sometimes resulted in completeness of phagocytosis making it reach the control values (the 10th and 15th days, rifampicin and vaccine). It should be noted that a more pronounced stimulation of the activity, intensity and completeness of the phagocytosis was observed with the use of the combination of rifampicin and the vaccine. 相似文献

Human C-reactive protein (CRP) at acute phase levels of 10-200 microg/ml triggered the phosphorylation of FcgammaRIIa, Syk kinase, and phospholipase Cgamma2 in granulocytic HL-60 cells. CRP also stimulated translocation to the membrane of both phospholipase Cgamma2 and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase. The signaling response triggered by CRP was a rapid, early event with kinetics similar to the response elicited by human IgG. Both soluble-aggregated CRP and monomeric CRP cross-linked FcgammaRII to generate a signal of the same intensity. The results are consistent with signaling through the intrinsic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif of the cytoplasmic domain of FcgammaRIIa, the major CRP-receptor on monocytes and neutrophils that is responsible for CRP-mediated phagocytosis. The signaling events driven by CRP have the potential to regulate infiltrating neutrophil activities. 相似文献

Tumor-derived G-CSF facilitates neoplastic growth through a granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cell-dependent mechanism 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are induced under diverse pathologic conditions, including neoplasia, and suppress innate and adaptive immunity. While the mechanisms by which MDSC mediate immunosuppression are well-characterized, details on how they develop remain less understood. This is complicated further by the fact that MDSC comprise multiple myeloid cell types, namely monocytes and granulocytes, reflecting diverse stages of differentiation and the proportion of these subpopulations vary among different neoplastic models. Thus, it is thought that the type and quantities of inflammatory mediators generated during neoplasia dictate the composition of the resultant MDSC response. Although much interest has been devoted to monocytic MDSC biology, a fundamental gap remains in our understanding of the derivation of granulocytic MDSC. In settings of heightened granulocytic MDSC responses, we hypothesized that inappropriate production of G-CSF is a key initiator of granulocytic MDSC accumulation. We observed abundant amounts of G-CSF in vivo, which correlated with robust granulocytic MDSC responses in multiple tumor models. Using G-CSF loss- and gain-of-function approaches, we demonstrated for the first time that: 1) abrogating G-CSF production significantly diminished granulocytic MDSC accumulation and tumor growth; 2) ectopically over-expressing G-CSF in G-CSF-negative tumors significantly augmented granulocytic MDSC accumulation and tumor growth; and 3) treatment of naïve healthy mice with recombinant G-CSF protein elicited granulocytic-like MDSC remarkably similar to those induced under tumor-bearing conditions. Collectively, we demonstrated that tumor-derived G-CSF enhances tumor growth through granulocytic MDSC-dependent mechanisms. These findings provide us with novel insights into MDSC subset development and potentially new biomarkers or targets for cancer therapy. 相似文献

In most cells trans-activating NF-kappaB induces many inflammatory proteins as well as its own inhibitor, IkappaB-alpha, thus assuring a transient response upon stimulation. However, NF-kappaB-dependent inflammatory gene expression is persistent in asthmatic bronchi, even after allergen eviction. In the present report we used bronchial brushing samples (BBSs) from heaves-affected horses (a spontaneous model of asthma) to elucidate the mechanisms by which NF-kappaB activity is maintained in asthmatic airways. NF-kappaB activity was high in granulocytic and nongranulocytic BBS cells. However, NF-kappaB activity highly correlated to granulocyte percentage and was only abrogated after granulocytic death in cultured BBSs. Before granulocytic death, NF-kappaB activity was suppressed by simultaneous addition of neutralizing anti-IL-1beta and anti-TNF-alpha Abs to the medium of cultured BBSs. Surprisingly, IkappaB-beta, whose expression is not regulated by NF-kappaB, unlike IkappaB-alpha, was the most prominent NF-kappaB inhibitor found in BBSs. The amounts of IkappaB-beta were low in BBSs obtained from diseased horses, but drastically increased after addition of the neutralizing anti-IL-1beta and anti-TNF-alpha Abs. These results indicate that sustained NF-kappaB activation in asthmatic bronchi is driven by granulocytes and is mediated by IL-1beta and TNF-alpha. Moreover, an imbalance between high levels of IL-1beta- and TNF-alpha-mediated IkappaB-beta degradation and low levels of IkappaB-beta synthesis is likely to be the mechanism preventing NF-kappaB deactivation in asthmatic airways before granulocytic death. 相似文献

Gold nanorods exhibit strong absorbance of light in the near infrared region, which penetrates deeply into tissues. Since the absorbed light energy is converted into heat, gold nanorods are expected to act as a contrast agent for in vivo bioimaging and as a thermal converter for photothermal therapy. To construct a gold nanorod targeted delivery system for tumor a peptide substrate for urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), expressed specifically on malignant tumors, was inserted between the PEG chain and the surface of the gold nanorods. In other words, we constructed PEG–peptide-modified gold nanorods. After mixing the gold nanorods with uPA, the PEG chain was released from the surface of the gold and subsequently nanorod aggregation took place. The formation of the aggregation was monitored as a decrease in light absorption at 900 nm. Tumor homogenate induced a significant decrease in this absorption. Larger amount of the PEG–peptide-modified gold nanorods bound to cells expressing uPA in vitro compared with control gold nanorods, which had scrambled sequence of the peptide. The PEG–peptide-modified gold nanorods showed higher accumulation in tumor than the control after they were injected intravenously into tumor-bearing mice, however, the density of the peptide on the surface of the gold nanorods was a key factor of their biodistributions. This targeted delivery system, which responds to uPA activity, is expected to be a powerful tool for tumor bioimaging and photothermal tumor therapy. 相似文献

In a companion paper we demonstrated that normal peripheral blood granulocytic precursor cells differentiate after 2-3 weeks in suspension culture. In the studies described here leukemic blast cells obtained from 14 patients with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) and two patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia in blastic crisis were cultured in McCoy's 5A medium containing 15 per cent fetal bovine serum for 2-3 weeks at 37 degrees C in an atmosphere of 5 per cent CO2-95 per cent room air. 'Spontaneous' myeloid differentiation (20 x 10(4) viable mature myeloid cells ml-1) occurred in the cultures of cells obtained from 8 pts. The differentiation was granulocytic in three cases, monocytic in four cases and of mixed type in one case. Differentiation was independent of the growth of the cells in culture and occurred in four cases after the first week. Monocytic differentiation was seen only in AML of the FAB M4 type whereas granulocytic or mixed differentiation were seen only in AML of the FAB M1 or M2 types. When PHA leucocyte conditioned medium (PHA-LCM) was added to the cultures monocytic/macrophage differentiation was favoured. Inducers of the differentiation of the HL-60 cell line (N-methylacetamide, cytosine arabinoside, or retinoic acid) had no consistent effect on the differentiation and were at times inhibitory. Three patients received therapy with low dose cytosine arabinoside and no correlation was observed between the outcome of the treatment and leukemic cell differentiation in culture in the presence of the drug. 相似文献

Measurement of myeloid maturation by flow cytochemistry in HL-60 leukemia: esterase is inducible, myeloperoxidase is not 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
D W Ross 《Cytometry》1986,7(3):263-267
The phenomenon of leukemic cell maturation requires a measurement of myeloid maturation to understand the process and to exploit it as a means of therapy for leukemia. The HL-60 leukemic cell line was used as a model of induced leukemic cell maturation in order to develop a method of quantitating granulocytic and monocytic maturation in response to drug therapy. An automated flow cytochemistry system (Hemalog-D) was employed to measure mean cell volume, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and nonspecific esterase (NSE). For granulocytic maturation induced by vitamin A or DMSO, MPO and cell volume decreased by 50%, maintaining a constant mean cellular MPO concentration throughout maturation from promyelocyte to neutrophil-like forms. For monocytic maturation induced by low-dose ARA-c, the mean NSE increased substantially, while cell volume remained constant. Unlike MPO concentration, NSE was truly inducible and thus a useful quantitative measure of maturation caused by low-dose ARA-c. Flow cytochemistry and cytofluorometry may be developed to allow for quantitative monitoring of therapeutic trials of induced maturation in human leukemias. However, this will require adapting these techniques to the complexity of human leukemias in vivo, and the necessity of handling heterogeneous populations encountered in bone marrow samples. 相似文献

Expression of granulocytic functions by leukemic promyelocytic HL-60 cells: differential induction by dimethylsulfoxide and retinoic acid 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Recently, a novel approach has been used in the treatment of leukemia: induction of the leukemic cells to undergo terminal differentiation. Based on its in vitro ability to induce differentiation in several myeloid leukemic cell lines, retinoic acid (RA) has been applied clinically in cases of myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid and promyelocytic leukemia. In the present study we have determined in detail the ability of RA to induce expression of granulocytic functions in a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line (HL-60) and compared it with that of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Several granulocytic characteristics (phagocytosis, surface adherence and generation of free radicals in response to phorbol-ester) were induced to the same degree by both agents. Other normal neutrophil functions, including lysozyme accumulation, spontaneous migration, chemotactic activity toward zymosan-activated serum (containing C5a), the peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) and spontaneous motility in semi-solid medium were induced by DMSO, but they were absent or incompletely expressed in RA-induced cells. In contrast, only RA induced migration toward leukotriene B4 (LTB4). Simultaneous treatment with RA and DMSO proved synergistic with respect to morphological maturation and several functions (e.g. NBT reduction), but complementary stimulation of other activities (e.g. chemotaxis, lysozyme content) could not be demonstrated. Furthermore, characteristics induced by DMSO (i.e., expression of C5a and FMLP receptors and accumulation of lysozyme) were inhibited by the addition of RA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The stimulatory effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) on bone formation have been explained solely by its activation of osteoblasts. However, whether and how NaF acts on the osteoclast lineage is poorly understood. We previously found that NaF differentiates HL-60 cells to granulocytic cells. To further test this action, we have employed here primary cultures of progenitor cells derived from murine bone marrow. NaF at subtoxic concentrations (<0.5 mM) significantly up-regulated activities of several intracellular enzymes (lactate dehydrogenase, beta-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase), cellular reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium, and nitric oxide (NO) production; which are all accepted as general differentiation markers. NaF (<0.5 mM) also up-regulated granulocyte-specific markers (chloroacetate esterase, cell surface antigens [Mac-1, Gr-1]) but not any of the monocyte-specific markers (nonspecific esterase, cell surface antigens [F4/80, MOMA-2]). Although other general differentiation markers (phagocytosis, adhesion, appearance, nuclear:cytoplasmic ratio) were not appreciably influenced by NaF, essentially in support of our previous data from HL-60 cells, the present findings suggest that NaF induces early differentiation of bone marrow hemopoietic progenitor cells along the granulocytic pathway but not the monocytic pathway that is linked to osteoclast formation. Therefore, in addition to its potent stimulatory effects on osteoblastic bone formation, NaF applied to patients with osteoporosis could be expected to indirectly reduce osteoclastic bone resorption. 相似文献
