The effect of interleukin-8 and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor on the response of neutrophils to formyl methionyl leucyl phenylalanine

Abstract: Neutrophils isolated from patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema have been shown to have enhanced responses to formyl peptides when assessed in vitro compared to age, sex matched controls. It is currently unclear whether the observed differences are due to a 'priming' effect by a second agent in vivo, or whether this is a primary difference in the neutrophils. We have studied the effects of interleukin-8, which is thought to be one of the major pro-inflammatory cytokines in chronic lung disease and gra… Show more

“…Previously it has been demonstrated that IL-8 levels are increased in COPD patients, 15,32 and that increased levels of IL-8 in sputum samples correlate with the airway bacterial load and proteinase released from activated neutrophils. 33…”

“…A recent study demonstrated that whereas activation of PI-3K was essential for fMLP-induced pseudopod extension, IL-8-stimulated pseudopod extension was much less dependent on PI-3K [42]. Furthermore, IL-8-but not fMLP-induced F-actin polymerization, pseudopod extension, and migration have been shown to be enhanced by pretreatment of cells with GM-CSF or insulin [30,42,43]. Moreover, this GM-CSF priming was PI-3K-dependent, whereas priming by insulin was PI-3K-independent.…”

“…24 The priming of superoxide production by GM-CSF is widely recognized 32 ; however, the role of GM-CSF in chemotaxis is controversial. 33 There are reports showing that GM-CSF has no significant effect on chemotaxis 34 ; however, other reports show that it either blocks chemotaxis 35 or enhances it. 36 One possibility for the discrepancies in the reported effects of GM-CSF on chemotaxis is the possible involvement of adhesion receptors, which are easily primed.…”
