Human blood monocytes, but not alveolar macrophages, reveal increased CD11b/CD18 expression and adhesion properties upon receptor-dependent activation

Abstract: The β 2 integrin receptor CD11b/CD18 mediates adhesion to the endothelial lining as well as to extracellular matrix components. The present study was undertaken to investigate peripheral human blood monocytes (BMs) and alveolar macrophages (AMs) with respect to quantitative levels of CD11b/CD18 and adhesion properties in relation to the state of activation.BMs and AMs were recruited from healthy subjects. Quantitative analysis of the surface expression of CD11b/CD18 by flow cytometric technique and adhesion pr… Show more

“…The expression of adhesion molecules on AM and Mo has been studied earlier with conflicting results [18, 19, 20, 21], which partly are contradictory to the results of the present study [12, 22]. However, flow-cytometric comparisons have been done without due consideration of the strong and varying AM autofluorescence.…”

“…We tested monocytes in "whole blood" samples after lysis of the erythrocytes, thus reducing stimulation of cells by the isolation procedure to a minimum. Monocytes release Mac-1 from preexisting vesicles after stimulation, which results in a rapid increase in surface expression (48). Therefore, isolation procedures may influence expression levels of Mac-1 on monocytes.…”

“…Chronic alcohol ingestion depleted GSH levels in BAL fluid (9) and AMs (10) and caused oxidative stress and AM dysfunction in clinical and animal studies (12,14,37,70). AMs are important to innate and acquired immunity (66) due to their ability to phagocytize and clear apoptotic cells and infectious particles from the lung (47). Chronic ethanol exposure causes AM dysfunction (12) through mechanisms that may involve alcohol-induced oxidative stress (16).…”

“…In clinical and animal studies, decreased GSH in the alveolar space is associated with chronic oxidative stress and AM dysfunction (12,14,37,70). AMs are critical in innate and acquired immunity (66) since they phagocytize and clear apoptotic cells and infectious particles (47). The binding and internalization of inactive Staphylococcus aureus by AMs from chronic ethanol-exposed animal models is impaired (12), and oral treatments with GSH precursors L-2-oxothiaxolidine-4-carboxylate (Procysteine; Transcend Therapeutics) or N-acetylcysteine improved AM phagocytosis in vitro (14).…”
