Analysis of calcium homeostasis in activated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Evidence for two distinct mechanisms for lowering cytosolic calcium.
The stimulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) by chemoattractants triggers a rapid rise in cytosolic free calcium concentration(s) ([Ca2+]i), which quickly returns to base line, suggesting a role for calcium removal in the homeostasis of activated PMNs. To investigate cytosolic calcium homeostasis, PMNs were treated with a fluoroprobe and ionomycin to induce a sustained elevation of [C...
متن کاملMechanism by which cigarette smoke attracts polymorphonuclear leukocytes to lung.
C igarette smoking is a major risk factor in the development of pulmonary emphysema, a chronic disorder thought to be caused by excess protease activity in lung. Although inhalation of cigarette smoke is associated with accumulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN; a major source of preformed proteases) in the lung, cigarette smoke, by itself, is not chemotactic for PMN. Since alveolar mac...
متن کاملPolymorphonuclear Leukocytes
Complete protection of Staphylococcus aureus Wood 46 from gentamicin bactericidal activity was documented for microorganisms located within polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The highest, still ineffective gentamicin concentration tested in the phagocytic assay was 80 times higher than the minimal concentration required to kill uningested organisms. Extracellular gentamicin activity was unaffected b...
متن کاملActivation of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes
In acute inflammatory responses, selectins mediate initial rolling of neutrophils (PMNs) along the endothelial surface. This is followed by tight adhesion that requires activationdependent up-regulation of CD11/CD18 integrins on PMNs. For emigration to occur, the initial bonds that are established at the endothelial surface must be disengaged. We show that activation of PMNs results in their de...
متن کاملHuman Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes
A B S T R A C T Acetyl glyceryl ether phosphorylcholine (AGEPC) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) induce concentration-dependent neutrophil aggregation. On a molar basis, LTB4 is 10 to 100 times more potent than AGEPC. AGEPC-induced aggregation is attenuated by two inhibitors of arachidonate lipoxygenation, eicosatetraynoic acid and nordihydroguaiaretic acid, and to a lesser extent by the cyclooxygenas...
