Lymphocyte-Neutrophil Interactions: Opposite Effects of Interleukin-2 and Tumour Necrosis Factor-Beta (Lymphotoxin) on Human Neutrophil Adherence

Abstract: Human neutrophil adherence was enhanced by recombinant human tumour necrosis factor-β (TNF/J) but suppressed by recombinant human interleukin-2 (IL-2). The opposite effects of these two lymphokines were observed over a range of concentrations consistent with their other biological activities, occurred within 15 min of incubation, and were still evident after 60 min. Pretreatment of neutrophils with both IL-2 and TNFβ resulted in adherence values intermediate between the values obtained with the individual lymp… Show more

“…The mechanism of this inhibition could be related to increased adhesiveness of neutrophils induced by TNF for the substratum of the chamber [19,20,42,43]. However, in the present experiments, the rates of random motility of neutro phils on polycarbonate membrane were not reduced, so that increased adhesion which is so excessive as to inhibit migration seems an unlikely mechanism of re duced chemotactic movement to FMLP.…”

“…It is likely that endothelial damage and the CLS are multifactorial in origin with adherent lymphokine activated killer and natural killer cells together with widespread activation of endothelial cells by other cytokines also playing a role (Slow et al, 1988;Aronson et al, 1988;Damle & Doyle, 1989). Our study demonstrates that activation of PMN and of the complement system contribute substantially to these processes and may be one of the initiating events.…”

“…Thus far, those basic mechanisms partially defined for cytokine-induced modifications in PMN function derive primarily from experiments using formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (FMLP), phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), immunoglobulin (Ig) G-coated particles (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). However, our previous comparisons of responses to different stimuli by unprimed PMN indicate that C. albicans hyphae may elicit disparate patterns of early cellular events linked to PMN respiratory burst activation (39)(40)(41)(42).…”
