چکیده

The subpopulation of strongly CD14-positive (CD14++) monocytes and monocytes coexpressing the CD16 antigen and low levels of CD14 (CD14+/CD16+ cells) were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) followed by stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at 1 micrograms/mL. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after reverse transcription of isolated mRNA (RT-PCR) revealed similar levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) transcripts in both subpopulations. By contrast, transcripts for interleukin-10 (IL-10) were only detectable in CD14++ monocytes, whereas CD14+/CD16+ cells produced no detectable IL-10 transcripts after 4 hours. Only after 16 hours of LPS stimulation was a low level of IL-10 transcripts discernible in CD14+/CD16+ monocytes. The same pattern was seen at the protein level in that TNF in LPS-stimulated supernatants was comparable for both subpopulations, whereas IL-10 was detected in CD14++ monocytes but not in CD14+/CD16+ cells. To avoid interference of cell activation by CD14 and CD16 antibodies, cells were also isolated based on the high and low level of CD33 antigen expression. Again, weakly CD33-positive cells, which comprise the CD14+/CD16+ cells, showed no or only minimal IL-10 mRNA. When comparing blood monocyte subpopulations with alveolar macrophages (AM), AM showed high levels of LPS-stimulated TNF, whereas IL-10 transcripts were undetectable. Our data show that CD14+/CD16+ blood monocytes produce high levels of proinflammatory cytokines like TNF, whereas the anti-inflammatory IL-10 is low or absent, a pattern similar to what is seen in AM.

Differential chemokine receptor expression and function in human monocyte subpopulations.

The subset of human blood monocytes expressing low levels of CD14 and high levels of CD16 (CD14+CD16+) exhibits features resembling mature tissue macrophages and can be expanded in inflammatory conditions. We analyzed expression of CC chemokine receptors (CCR) in CD14+CD16+ versus CD14++ monocytes, which may be crucial for specific trafficking. Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of whole perip...

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 gene is expressed in activated neutrophils and retinoic acid-induced human myeloid cell lines.

We have used differential display polymerase chain reaction to identify genes that are upregulated after retinoic acid (RA) treatment of human myeloblastic HL-60 cells. Three of the cDNAs cloned hybridized to RA-inducible transcripts on Northern blots, one of which was shown to encode sequences for monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a recently described cytokine that is chemotactic for...

The effect of microRNA-125 on the adhesion molecule expression of integrin beta2 and adhesive determination of endothelial cells isolated from human aorta to monocyte

Background: The immune-mediated responses in vascular cells may include the increased expression of endothelial adhesion molecules, leukocyte rolling and infiltration, cellular lipid dysregulation and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) differentiation. Investigating the cellular and molecular events involved in the rolling process is useful for treatment or prevention of the vessel stenosis es...
