The secretion of factor B by mouse peritoneal macrophages was found to be enhanced following in vivo or in vitro stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The intravenous administration of LPS to mice of various strains caused an increased release of factor B but not the release of acid phosphatase by the peritoneal macrophages obtained from the stimulated mice. In vitro stimulation of cultured macrophages with LPS resulted in an enhanced secretion of both factor B and acid phosphatase. The dose-dependent augmentation of factor B secretion by LPS was found in the macrophages from LPS-responsive C3H/HeN mice, whereas the macrophages from LPS-unresponsive C3H/HeJ mice did not respond to either phenol-extracted LPS or butanol-extracted LPS. The ability of LPS to cause the enhancement of factor B secretion by macrophages was abolished by alkali or acid treatment of LPS, indicating that its lipid A part was responsible for the observed effect. 相似文献

The interaction of phorbol myristate acetate with resident populations of mouse peritoneal macrophages causes an increased release of arachidonic acid followed by increased synthesis and secretion of prostaglandin E2 and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha. In addition, phorbol myristate acetate causes the selective release of lysosomal acid hydrolases from resident and elicited macrophages. These effects of phorbol myristate acetate on macrophages do not cause lactate dehydrogenase to leak into the culture media. The phorbol myristate acetate-induced release of arachidonic acid and increased synthesis and secretion of prostaglandins by macrophages can be inhibited by RNA and protein synthesis inhibitors, whereas the release of lysosomal hydrolases is unaffected. 0.1 microgram/ml actinomycin D blocked the increased prostaglandin production due to this inflammatory agent by more than 80%, and 3 microgram/ml cycloheximide blocked prostaglandin production by 78%. Similar results with these metabolic inhibitors were found with another stimulator of prostaglandin production, zymosan. However, these inhibitors do not interfere with lysosomal hydrolase releases caused by zymosan or phorbol myristate acetate. It appears that one of the results of the interaction of macrophages with inflammatory stimuli is the synthesis of a rapidly turning-over protein which regulates the production of prostaglandins. It is also clear that the secretion of prostaglandins and lysosomal hydrolases are independently regulated. 相似文献

Alveolar macrophages are the primary phagocytic cell of lung, but are also capable of a variety of other functions, which include initiating or modulating inflammatory and immune responses through the production of soluble mediators. One such group of mediators is the eicosanoids. Further, recent data indicate that alveolar macrophages are not functionally homogeneous, but are heterogeneous with several subpopulations that differ both morphologically and functionally. Considering the apparent importance of prostaglandin synthesis and release in inflammatory and immune responses, the current study was undertaken to determine whether alveolar macrophage subpopulations differ in their ability to synthesize and release prostaglandin (PG) E, PGI2, and thromboxane A2 after stimulation by calcium ionophore A23187, zymosan, or aggregated IgG. Alveolar macrophages were harvested by bronchoalveolar lavage and were separated into 18 density-defined fractions. Density-defined alveolar macrophages (DD-AM) showed marked heterogeneity in prostaglandin synthesis and release. Maximal PGE synthesis and release was seen as a single peak after calcium ionophore A23187 and zymosan stimulation. In contrast, two peaks in PGE synthesis were seen after aggregated IgG stimulation. PGI2 synthesis was seen as a single peak generated by different DD-AM after calcium ionophore A23187 and zymosan. In contrast, aggregated IgG stimulation of subpopulations exhibited uniform synthesis and release of PGI2. Thromboxane A2 synthesis and release was maximal from a broad range of various DD-AM after calcium ionophore A23187, zymosan, and aggregated IgG stimulation. The results demonstrate that DD-AM are heterogeneous in ability to synthesize and release prostaglandins which is dependent on the stimuli. Therefore, specific subpopulations of alveolar macrophages may be central to the control of the pulmonary inflammatory response through specific eicosanoid synthesis and release. 相似文献

The phospholipids of rabbit alveolar macrophages were pulse-labelled with [(14)C]-arachidonic acid, and the subsequent release of labelled prostaglandins was measured. Resting macrophages released measurable amounts of arachidonic acid, the prostaglandins E(2), D(2) and F(2alpha) and 6-oxoprostaglandin F(1alpha). Phagocytosis of zymosan increased the release of arachidonic acid and prostaglandins to 2.5 times the control value. In contrast, phagocytosis of inert latex particles had no effect on prostaglandin release. Indomethacin inhibited the release of prostaglandin, and, at high doses (20mug/ml), increased arachidonic acid release. Analysis of the cellular lipids showed that after zymosan stimulation the proportion of label was decreased in phosphatidylcholine, but not in other phospholipids or neutral lipids. Cytochalasin B, at a dose of 2mug/ml, inhibited the phagocytosis induced by zymosan but increased prostaglandin synthesis to 3.4 times the control. These data suggest that the stimulation of prostaglandin synthesis by zymosan is not dependent on phagocytosis. Exposure to zymosan also resulted in the release of the lysosomal enzyme, acid phosphatase. Furthermore, cytochalasin B augmented the zymosan-stimulated release of acid phosphatase at the same dose that stimulated prostaglandin synthesis. However, indomethacin, at a dose that completely inhibited prostaglandin synthesis, failed to block the lysosomal enzyme release. Thus despite some parallels between the release of prostaglandins and lysosomal enzymes, endogenous prostaglandins do not appear to mediate the release of lysosomal enzymes. The prostaglandins released from the macrophages may function as humoral substances affecting other cells. 相似文献

Differential alteration of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase metabolism by rat peritoneal macrophages induced by endotoxin tolerance 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Altered macrophage arachidonic acid metabolism may play a role in endotoxic shock and the phenomenon of endotoxin tolerance induced by repeated injections of endotoxin. Studies were initiated to characterize both lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase metabolite formation by endotoxin tolerant and non-tolerant macrophages in response to 4 different stimuli, i.e. endotoxin, glucan, zymosan, and the calcium ionophore A23187. In contrast to previous reports of decreased prostaglandin synthesis by tolerant macrophages, A23187-stimulated immunoreactive (i) leukotriene (LT)C4/D4 and prostaglandin (PG)E2 production by tolerant cells was greater than that by non-tolerant controls (p less than 0.001). However, A23187-stimulated i-6-keto-PGF1 alpha levels were lower in tolerant macrophages compared to controls. Stimulation of prostaglandin and thromboxane (Tx)B2 synthesis by endotoxin or glucan was significantly less in tolerant macrophages compared to controls (p less than 0.05). iLTC4/D4 production was not significantly stimulated by endotoxin or glucan, but was stimulated by zymosan in the non-tolerant cells. Synthesis of iLTB4 by control macrophages was stimulated by endotoxin (p less than 0.01). These results demonstrate that arachidonic acid metabolism via the lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways in macrophages is differentially altered by endotoxin tolerance. 相似文献

gamma-Interferon enhances the secretion of arachidonic acid metabolites from murine peritoneal macrophages stimulated with phorbol diesters 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Macrophage activation in vivo has been associated with qualitative and quantitative alterations in the release and metabolism of arachidonic acid. In the present study, we examined the effect of in vitro macrophage activation with recombinant gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma) on arachidonic acid secretion induced by exposure to a variety of stimulating agents. Secretion stimulated by challenge with unopsonized zymosan, insoluble immune complexes, the calcium ionophore A23187, or combinations thereof was unaltered in IFN-gamma-treated macrophages. However, when phorbol diesters active as tumor promoters were employed as challenge agents, arachidonate secretion was enhanced as much as 10-fold over that seen in nonactivated controls. The enhanced secretory response to PMA was detectable as early as 1 hr after exposure to IFN-gamma, reached a maximum within 3 to 6 hr, and subsequently declined to control levels even in the continued presence of the agent. Treatment with IFN-gamma did not alter the pattern of individual metabolites produced by macrophages challenged with either zymosan or PMA. Finally, the sensitivity to phorbol diesters was also increased by treatment with IFN-gamma (ED50 reduced from 35 ng/ml to 4 ng/ml). Thus, IFN-gamma could prime macrophages for a substantially amplified response to phorbol esters. Because the cellular mediator of PMA action has been identified as a Ca++, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, a role for this enzyme in macrophage functional development is indicated. 相似文献

Induction of macrophage lysosomal hydrolase synthesis and secretion by beta-1,3-glucan 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Studies were undertaken to elucidate the active component in zymosan necessary to induce the delayed-onset synthesis and secretion of representative lysosomal hydrolases, hexosaminidase, and beta-glucuronidase in macrophages. Resident mouse peritoneal macrophages were challenged with zymosan particles and particulate beta-1,3-glucan, the major subcomponent of zymosan. Zymosan was found to induce a rapid secretion of preformed hexosaminidase with maximal release (75%) occurring 6 hr after the addition of zymosan. By contrast, beta-1,3-glucan was totally inactive in this respect. However, both zymosan and beta-1,3-glucan were found to induce the delayed-onset synthesis and secretion of hexosaminidase and beta-glucuronidase while maintaining constant cellular enzyme levels over a 5-day period following the addition of stimulus. These late responses were almost totally blocked by a noncytolytic concentration of cycloheximide, indicating their dependence on de novo protein synthesis. Mannan, the second major subcomponent of zymosan, had no effect on either immediate secretion or delayed-onset synthesis and secretion of hexosaminidase. These results suggest that the induction of the delayed-onset synthesis and secretion of the lysosomal hydrolases by zymosan may be dependent on the glucan subcomponent of zymosan. Moreover, it would also appear that the release of preformed lysosomal enzymes is not the trigger for the delayed-onset synthesis and secretion of hexosaminidase. 相似文献

By utilizing compounds with different inhibitory properties, discrete biochemical differences were found in the mechanism of selective lysosomal enzyme secretion by macrophages in response to stimulation with zymosan particles and methylamine. Pretreatment of macrophages with trypsin markedly impaired the capacity of the cells to respond to stimulation with zymosan particles, but had no effect on methylamine-stimulated lysosomal enzyme secretion. Similarly, the addition of phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride or EDTA to the incubation medium substantially inhibited zymosan-induced lysosomal enzyme secretion, whereas the methylamine-stimulated response was unaffected by these agents. The addition of 2-deoxyglucose to incubation media, however, strongly inhibited both zymosan- and methylamine-stimulated beta-galactosidase secretion. These findings are consistent with a mechanism for lysosomal enzyme secretion by macrophages, based on a receptor-dependent uptake of zymosan particles and a receptor-independent uptake of methylamine. 相似文献

Correlation between chemiluminescence response and rate of zymosan uptake by rat alveolar macrophages. Scanning electron microscope observations 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The rate of particle uptake by rat alveolar macrophages (AM) exposed to zymosan (mean number of zymosan particles becoming bound to 100 cells at a fixed time interval) was determined with the aid of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The intensity of the chemiluminescence (CL) emitted by the AM on addition of zymosan, was measured concomitantly. During the whole course of CL emission, all the particles were found to be either attached or engulfed, but not ingested by the AM. A good correlation was obtained between the time dependence of CL intensity and that of the rate of particle uptake, both reaching a peak value at about 5 min after exposure. It is therefore assumed that the CL emitted by AM exposed to zymosan reflects the attachment and engulfment stages of phagocytosis. 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
E J Wing N M Ampel A Waheed R K Shadduck 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1985,135(3):2052-2056
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

The effect produced by the injection of platelet activation factor (PAF) and its antagonist BN 52021 on the intensity of humoral immune response in (CBA x C57BL)F1 mice was studied. PAF was found to stimulate the formation of antibodies to sheep red blood cells. In addition PAF stimulated the phagocytic activity of mouse peritoneal macrophages. The stimulation of immune response under the action of PAF may be attributed to an increase in the phagocytic activity of macrophages. The stimulating effect of PAF on immune response in vivo was abolished by the injection of BN 52021, the antagonist of PAF. At the same time the dose-dependent decrease of immune response was observed after the injection of BN 52021. Indomethacin, an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, when administered to mice treated with BN 52021, abolished the BN 52021-induced suppression of humoral immune response. Mouse peritoneal macrophages, treated in vitro with BN 52021, were found to produce significantly more prostaglandin E than control macrophages. Thus, BN 52021 induced the suppression of humoral immune response in vivo; this suppression was probably due to the action of prostaglandin E2, a messenger of the second order. Besides, the PAF antagonist BN 52021 significantly decreased leukotriene B4 production by macrophages in vitro. BN 52021 may be supposed to switch over the synthesis and/or secretion of arachidonic acid from the lipoxygenase pathway to the cycloxygenase one. 相似文献

Cultured mouse peritoneal macrophages containing previously endocytosed zymosan or small-fibre asbestos (but not latex or sucrose) were shown to release selectively into the medium the lysosomal hydrolase beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase. Thus macrophage lysosomal enzyem secretion was experimentally dissociated from endocytosis (as the residual external particles were washed away from the cells). The cells remained viable, and total activities of both N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and of lactate dehydrogenase (a cytosol enzyme) rose with time. The relevance of such secretion by macrophages containing stored materials to chronic inflammatory processes is discussed. 相似文献

Inhibitors of C1q biosynthesis suppress activation of murine macrophages for both antibody-independent and antibody-dependent tumor cytotoxicity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
R W Leu A Q Zhou B J Shannon M J Herriott 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1990,144(6):2281-2286
The inhibitors of C1q biosynthesis and secretion, 3,4-dehydro-DL-proline (DHP) and 2,2'-dipyridyl, were previously shown to suppress murine macrophage FcR-dependent phagocytosis and cytolysis of IgG-opsonized RBC targets. Inasmuch as non-antibody macrophage activators also bind C1q to initiate C1 activation, we determined the effects of these same inhibitors of C1q biosynthesis on activation of macrophages for antibody-independent, nonspecific tumor cytotoxicity by lipid A and a variety of other non-antibody activators. Preexposure of mouse inflammatory peritoneal macrophages to either DHP (0.5 to 2.5 mM) or 2,2'-dipyridyl (0.1 to 0.3 mM) for 24 h produced a dose-related suppression of their response to activation by lipid A to mediate tumor cytotoxicity of L1210 mouse leukemia targets. Inhibition of C1q secretion by DHP-treated macrophages was confirmed both by a complement hemolytic assay and by autoradiographic analysis of [35S]methionine-labeled culture supernatants. DHP-treated macrophages were inhibited in their response to direct activation and triggering of IFN-gamma-primed macrophages by lipid A, Poly I:C, and cobra venom factor for tumor cytotoxicity. DHP inhibited macrophage activation for antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity of L1210 tumor targets mediated by antitumor target IgG. The addition of exogenous purified C1q (2 micrograms/ml) to macrophages after DHP treatment, reconstituted their response to activation for both antibody-independent and antibody-dependent tumor cytotoxicity. Our results indicate that C1q synthesis and secretion by effector macrophages is a prerequisite for the initiation of their activation by both immune complex and by non-antibody agents that also bind C1q. It now appears that macrophage-derived C1q may act as an auxiliary amplification signal for autocrine-like modulation of the initiation of macrophage activation by both the antibody-dependent and independent pathways. 相似文献

We have previously reported that group V secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) amplifies the action of cytosolic phospholipase A2(cPLA2) alpha in regulating eicosanoid biosynthesis by mouse peritoneal macrophages stimulated with zymosan (Satake, Y., Diaz, B. L., Balestrieri, B., Lam, B. K., Kanaoka, Y., Grusby, M. J., and Arm, J. P. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 16488-16494). To further understand the role of group V sPLA2, we studied its localization in resting mouse peritoneal macrophages before and after stimulation with zymosan and the effect of deletion of the gene encoding group V sPLA2 on phagocytosis of zymosan. We report that group V sPLA2 is present in the Golgi apparatus and recycling endosome in the juxtanuclear region of resting peritoneal macrophages. Upon ingestion of zymosan by mouse peritoneal macrophages, group V sPLA2 is recruited to the phagosome. There it co-localizes with cPLA2alpha, 5-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein, and leukotriene C4 synthase. Using immunostaining for the cysteinyl leukotrienes in carbodiimide-fixed cells, we show, for the first time, that the phagosome is a site of cysteinyl leukotriene formation. Furthermore, peritoneal macrophages from group V sPLA2-null mice demonstrated a >50% attenuation in phagocytosis of zymosan particles, which was restored by adenoviral expression of group V sPLA2 but IIA not group sPLA2. These data demonstrate that group V sPLA2 contributes to the innate immune response both through regulation of eicosanoid generation in response to a phagocytic stimulus and also as a component of the phagocytic machinery. 相似文献

Molecular mechanism of tumor necrosis factor-alpha production in 1-->3-beta-glucan (zymosan)-activated macrophages 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The molecular details of 1-->3-beta-glucans, a fungal cell wall component, induced inflammatory responses are not well understood. In the present study, we conducted a systematic analysis of the molecular events leading to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production after glucan stimulation of macrophages. We demonstrated that activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) is essential in zymosan A (a source of 1-->3-beta-glucans)-induced TNF-alpha production in macrophages (RAW264.7 cells). Zymosan A-induced TNF-alpha protein production was associated with an increase in the TNF-alpha gene promoter activity. Activation of the TNF-alpha gene promoter was dependent on activation of NF-kappaB. Time course studies indicated that DNA binding activity of NF-kappaB preceded TNF-alpha promoter activity. Inhibition of NF-kappaB activation led to a dramatic reduction in both TNF-alpha promoter activity and TNF-alpha protein production in the response to zymosan A. Mutation of a major NF-kappaB binding site (kappa3) in the gene promoter resulted in a significant decrease in the induction of the gene promoter by zymosan A, while mutation of Egr or CRE sites failed to inhibit the response to zymosan. Together, these results strongly suggest that NF-kappaB is involved in signal transduction of 1-->3-beta-glucans-induced TNF-alpha expression. 相似文献

The regulation of the secretion of lipoprotein lipase was studied in primary cultures of mouse peritoneal macrophages and in the murine macrophage cell line J774. As previously reported, both cell types secrete a lipase with the characteristics of lipoprotein lipase. Incubation of macrophages with insulin, insulin-like growth factor, and L-thyroxine had no effect on lipoprotein lipase secretion. Incubation with dexamethasone and with several agents which increase intracellular cyclic AMP led to a decrease in lipoprotein lipase secretion by mouse peritoneal macrophages. These results suggest that the hormonal regulation of lipoprotein lipase in macrophages is different from that in adipose tissue and heart muscle. Incubation of the macrophages with heparin caused a marked increase in the secretion of lipoprotein lipase. Short incubations with heparin (5 min) caused a release of the enzyme into the media, while longer incubations caused a 2-8-fold increase in net lipoprotein lipase secretion which was maximal after 2-16 h depending on cell type, and persisted for 24 h. The effect of heparin was dose-dependent and specific (it was not duplicated by other glycosaminoglycans). The mechanism of heparin-induced increase in lipoprotein lipase secretion was explored. The increase was not caused by the release of a presynthesized intracellular pool of lipoprotein lipase or by the stabilization of lipoprotein lipase by heparin after secretion. The heparin-induced increase in lipoprotein lipase secretion was dependent on protein synthesis. The secretion of lipoprotein lipase by macrophages in response to low levels of heparin may be a significant factor in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. 相似文献

The effect of LPS on the respiratory burst in resident rat peritoneal macrophages has been examined. Rat macrophages secreted high levels of both O2- and H2O2 in response to triggering with phorbol esters, opsonized zymosan, and immune complexes. After culture in vitro with LPS these macrophages exhibited a marked diminution in their capacity to secrete high levels of respiratory burst products. The LPS-mediated loss of secretory activity was apparent after 2 hr of exposure to LPS and was inhibitable by polymyxin B in a dose-dependent fashion. The effect was not selective for any triggering agent type as inhibition of secretory activity occurred after triggering with PMA, zymosan and immune complexes. PGE2 added at levels secreted by the macrophages in response to LPS also inhibited respiratory burst product secretion. In addition, indomethacin prevented the LPS-mediated inhibition of secretion. Because the inhibition of secretion was common to all triggering agents tested, this suggested that the basis for the impaired secretion was at a level other than the receptor for the triggering agent. Both LPS and PGE2 treatment of the macrophages increased the Km of the oxidase for NADPH (1.7- to 2.3-fold) without affecting significantly the Vmax of the enzyme. These data suggest that stimulation of rat peritoneal macrophages by LPS results in an impaired ability to secrete respiratory burst products as a result of a PGE2-mediated decrease in NADPH oxidase affinity and that this alteration is independent of alterations in tumoricidal activity. 相似文献

Essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency exerts an anti-inflammatory effect in several models of inflammation. In an effort to understand underlying mechanisms, the effect of EFA deficiency on the generation of eicosanoids and the elicitation of leukocytes in a model of acute inflammation was examined. Acute inflammation was induced by the i.p. injection of zymosan in mice. The injection of zymosan in normal mice was followed by a short burst of eicosanoid synthesis lasting 2 hr. Leukotriene (LT)B4, LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4, thromboxane B2, and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha were detected using high pressure liquid chromatography and specific radioimmunoassays. This initial phase of eicosanoid production was followed by a more prolonged infiltration of leukocytes (predominantly polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN)) lasting 48 hr with little eicosanoid synthesis. When challenged with zymosan, EFA-deficient mice exhibited a marked decrease in the production of eicosanoids during the early phase. No LTB could be detected at all. The number of resident peritoneal macrophages in EFA-deficient mice was also substantially decreased, and the influx of PMN during the inflammatory response was markedly diminished. In order to establish that the generation of eicosanoids during the early phase of this model of acute inflammation played a causal role in the later infiltration of PMN, the effect of the mixed lipoxygenase/cyclooxygenase inhibitor, BW755C, on LTB formation and PMN influx in this model of inflammation was assessed in control animals. BW755C completely blocked LTB synthesis and inhibited the subsequent influx of PMN. In conclusion, EFA deficiency inhibits eicosanoid generation, depresses levels of resident macrophages, and markedly diminishes the influx of PMN in the acute inflammatory response. The decrease in PMN influx appears to result from the inhibition of the antecedent generation of LTB. 相似文献
