Effect of adrenocorticosteroid on glucose metabolism in BCG-sensitized alveolar macrophages.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The increases in oxidation of glucose-1-(14)C and glucose-6-(14)C in BCG-sensitized alveolar macrophages are inhibited by administration of methylprednisolone sodium succinate. Both resting and phagocytizing cells are affected.

Dermal Tuberculin Sensitivity and Allergic Pulmonary Granuloma Formation
Anti-rabbit alveolar macrophage goat serum (AMS), adsorbed of hemolysins and hemagglutinins, exhibited complement-dependent cytotoxicity for the following rabbit target cells: alveolar macrophages, thymocytes, and kidney (RK-13) cells. The intravenous injection of AMS, sufficient to reduce markedly the dermal tuberculin reaction in BCG-sensitized rabbits, did not suppress the development of BCG...
متن کاملInduction of a macrophage migration enhancement factor after desensitization of tuberculin-positive rabbits with purified protein derivative.
The production of a macrophage migration enhancement factor (MEF) has been achieved as a consequence of administering a desensitizing dose of purified protein derivative (PPD) to Mycobacterium bovis BCG-sensitized rabbits. The migration-enhancing effect was first demonstrated when alveolar macrophages (AM) harvested from desensitized rabbits exhibited marked migration stimulation; whereas maxim...
متن کاملEffect of thioglycollate and BCG stimuli on glucose and glutamine metabolism in rat macrophages.
The macrophage is a differentiated cell that takes part in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes, such as inflammatory and immunological responses. The stimulation of macrophages involves the acquisition of some functional characteristics such as phagocytosis, ability to kill tumor cells, and processing and presentation of antigens. In this study we have investigated the chan...
متن کاملRole of oxygen-dependent mechanisms in antibody-induced lysis of tumor cells by activated macrophages
The alloantiserum-dependent lysis of TLX9 lymphoma cells by peritoneal cells from Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG)-treated mice was inhibited 62 percent by depletion of oxygen. This effect did not appear to be a result of interference with mitochondrial respiration because cyanide, azide, and dinitrophenol did not inhibit cytotoxicity. Preincubating the effector cells for 2 h without glucose, whic...
متن کاملPhagosomal membranes of Mycobacterium bovis BCG-immune alveolar macrophages are resistant to disruption by Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv.
Data obtained in this study reaffirm that virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv has a potent phagosome-destroying capacity when ingested by normal alveolar macrophages. In contrast, Mycobacterium bovis BCG-immune alveolar macrophages are highly resistant to this virulence mechanism. BCG-immune sera incubated with BCG-immune alveolar macrophages did not increase resistance of BCG-immune alve...
