Modulating Influence of Chemotactic Factor-Induced Cell Adhesiveness on Granulocyte Function

Abstract: A B S T R A C T The importance of adhesion in regulating locomotion and accumulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) has remained vague. We found that the chemotaxis of human PMN resuspended in heat-inactivated plasma was maximal toward 1-10 nM N-formyl-met-leu-phe (f-Met-Leu-Phe), but fell below random motility toward -100 nM. This impressive decrease of motility was paralleled by increased cell adherence on Petri dishes being minimal at 1 nM and maximal at >10 nM f-Met-Leu-Phe (6±1 and 37±2%[SE] adhere… Show more

“…After isolation, neutrophils were resuspended at a final concentration of 2 x 10' cells/ml in PBS. The leukocyte adhesion assay was a modification of the method of Fehr and Dahinden (33). Briefly, leukocytes were radiolabeled by incubating purified feline neutrophils (2 x 107 cell/ml) with 30 pCi/ml of Na5"CrO4 at 370C for 60 min.…”

“…The time-dependent loss of responsiveness to cyt B (desensitization to cyt B) do not imply a general functional hypo-responsiveness of FMP-pretreated PMN, since the same cells release remarkable O,-in response to con A or WGA. Therefore, these cells are rather activated [9,17]. It is possible that the same metabolic events induced by FMP may be responsible not only for the increased responsiveness to con A or WGA but also for the decreased responsiveness to cyt B.…”

“…While the mechanism of the benoxaprofen-induced decrease in chemotactic responsiveness of mononuclear phagocytes has not been elucidated, it clearly is not associated with an increase in leukocyte adherence (Table 1). In contrast, such increases in leukocyte adherence may account in part for the inhibition of neutrophil chemotaxis both by benoxaprofen (Table I) and by prior exposure of neutrophils to maximally deactivating concentrations of some chemotactic factors (7).…”
