Disparate gene expression of chemotactic cytokines by human mononuclear phagocytes.
Chemotactic cytokines are becoming increasingly recognized as important participants in the coordinate recruitment of specific inflammatory cells. In this manuscript we present data demonstrating that LPS challenged human mononuclear phagocytic cells can express mRNA for neutrophil chemotactic factor/interleukin-8 (NCF/IL-8), but do not express mRNA for monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP). The e...
متن کاملHuman neutrophils exhibit disparate chemotactic factor gene expression.
The evolution of acute inflammation from initiation through resolution is associated with the changing character of the infiltrating leukocytes. Recruitment of these leukocytes is dependent upon the generation of chemotactic factors that have either global or specific activity for a particular leukocyte. In this manuscript we present data demonstrating that human neutrophils can express mRNA fo...
متن کاملModulation of fibronectin gene expression in human mononuclear phagocytes.
Under some conditions, mononuclear phagocytes spontaneously synthesize and release fibronectin, an extracellular matrix glycoprotein with versatile effects on cell-matrix interactions. To gain insight into the processes that modulate the level of fibronectin secretion by these cells, we used monocytes, in vitro matured monocytes and alveolar macrophages as models to compare fibronectin mRNA lev...

as determined by vital staining, uptake of 2-deoxyglucose, and survival and replication in human fibroblasts. They are, however, rapidly killed by the addition of H202 and iodide under conditions in which control organisms are unaffected. We have used EPO bound to T. gondii to explore the role of peroxidase in the toxoplasmacidal activity of mononuclear phagocytes. Resident mouse peritoneal mac...
متن کاملA novel neutrophil-activating factor produced by human mononuclear phagocytes
The biological properties of a neutrophil-activating factor (NAF), which was recently identified as a novel peptide of approximately 6,000 mol wt, are described. NAF is produced de novo by human blood monocytes upon stimulation with LPS, PHA, and Con A. It induces two main responses in human neutrophils, i.e., exocytosis (release from specific granules in normal, and from specific and azurophil...
