Upregulation of the N-formyl Peptide receptors in scleroderma fibroblasts fosters the switch to myofibroblasts.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis. N-Formyl peptide (fMLF) receptors (FPRs) are chemotactic receptors involved in inflammation. Three FPRs have been identified: FPR1, FPR2, and FPR3. We have examined, by RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry, FPRs expression in skin fibroblasts from 10 normal subjects and 10 SSc patients, showing increased ex...
متن کاملUrokinase induces basophil chemotaxis through a urokinase receptor epitope that is an endogenous ligand for formyl peptide receptor-like 1 and -like 2.
Basophils circulate in the blood and are able to migrate into tissues at sites of inflammation. Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) binds a specific high affinity surface receptor (uPAR). The uPA-uPAR system is crucial for cell adhesion and migration, and tissue repair. We have investigated the presence and function of the uPA-uPAR system in human basophils. The expression of uPAR was found a...
متن کاملFPRs: linking innate immune system and fibrosis
Fibrosis is a deregulated and uncontrolled repair process that recapitulates features of embryonic development and normal wound healing. The inappropriate repair by connective tissue, characterized by an excessive deposition of collagen and other extracellular matrix components, is now known as an important feature of many chronic diseases, including myocardial infarction, glomerulosclerosis, i...
متن کاملSubinhibitory concentrations of the deformylase inhibitor actinonin increase bacterial release of neutrophil-activating peptides: a new approach to antimicrobial chemotherapy.
Bacterial protein synthesis starts with a formylated methionine residue, and this residue is sequentially cleaved away by a unique peptide deformylase (PDF) and a methionine aminopeptidase to generate mature proteins. The formylation-deformylation of proteins is a unique hallmark of bacterial metabolism and has recently become an attractive target for the development of antimicrobial agents. Th...
متن کاملHuman platelets exhibit chemotaxis using functional N-formyl peptide receptors.
OBJECTIVE Activated platelets participate in inflammatory and microbicidal processes by upregulation of surface selectins, shedding of CD40 ligand, and release of platelet microbicidal proteins and microparticles. Given their myeloid lineage, we hypothesized that platelets express functional N-formyl peptide receptors and respond to the bacterially derived chemotactic peptide N-formyl peptide w...
