Phorbol myristate acetate stimulates phagosome-lysosome fusion in mouse macrophages
The effect of the tumor promoter phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) on phagosome-lysosome (P-L) fusion in mouse macrophages has been studied using a previously described (10) fluorescence assay. Treatment with 0.1--1.0 microgram PMA/ml caused a striking increase in the rate and extent of P-L fusion. Exposure of cells to phorbol, free myristate, or the monoesters of PMA did not reproduce this effec...
متن کاملPhagosome-lysosome fusion inhibited by algal symbionts of Hydra viridis
Certain species of Chlorella live within the digestive cells of the fresh water cnidarian Hydra viridis. When introduced into the hydra gut, these symbiotic algae are phagocytized by digestive cells but avoid host digestion and persist at relatively constant numbers within host cells. In contrast, heat-killed symbionts are rapidly degraded after phagocytosis. Live symbionts appear to persist be...
متن کاملPhagosome-lysosome fusion is a calcium-independent event in macrophages
Phagosome-lysosome membrane fusion is a highly regulated event that is essential for intracellular killing of microorganisms. Functionally, it represents a form of polarized regulated secretion, which is classically dependent on increases in intracellular ionized calcium ([Ca2+]i). Indeed, increases in [Ca2+]i are essential for phagosome-granule (lysosome) fusion in neutrophils and for lysosoma...

متن کاملModulation of phagosome-lysosome fusion in mouse macrophages
A previously described fluorescence assay has been used to characterize factors that modulate phagosome-lysosome (P-L) fusion in mouse macrophages. Fusion was not affected by enzymatic modification or by concanavalin A cross-linking of the plasma membrane or by coating the phagocytic particle with concanavalin A or immune serum. Pretreatment of cells with 10-5-10-4 M colchicine, or treatment im...
