Proteinase 3 (PR3), which is also called myeloblastin, the target autoantigen for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in Wegener's granulomatosis, is a serine proteinase stored in azurophil granules of human neutrophils. We have previously shown that, in contrast to elastase or myeloperoxidase, PR3 is also expressed at the plasma membrane of a subset of unactivated neutrophils and that a high proportion of neutrophils expressing membrane PR3 is a risk factor for vasculitis. The present study demonstrates that the association of PR3 with the plasma membrane is not an ionic interaction and seems to be covalent. Fractionation of neutrophils shows that, besides the azurophil granules, PR3 could be detected both in specific granules and in the plasma membrane-enriched fraction containing secretory vesicles, whereas elastase and myeloperoxidase were exclusively located in azurophil granules. Electron microscopy confirms that PR3 is present along with CR1 in secretory vesicles as well as in some specific granules. In neutrophils stimulated with an increasing dose of FMLP, membrane PR3 expression increased with the degranulation of secretory vesicles, followed by specific granules, and culminated after azurophil granules mobilization. The presence of a readily plasma membrane-mobilizable pool of PR3 contained in the secretory vesicles might play a relevant role in the pathophysiological mechanisms of ANCA-associated vasculitis. 相似文献

Abstract: Neutrophil granule subsets and dynamics were studied in 4 patients with polycythemia vera/myelofibrosis and 2 patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Alkaline phosphatase, a marker for the membrane of secretory vesicles (the most readily mobilizable pool of intracellular membranes in neutrophils) was highly elevated in the PV/MF patients and significantly reduced in the CML patients. In spite of this, the amount of secretory vesicles was normal as judged by the content of albumin, and of the membrane protein cytochrome b_245 and CD11b, both partially localized in secretory vesicles. Gelatinase granules were present in all patients. The azurophil granules were lighter than normal in both CML patients. SDS-PAGE protein profiles indicated absence of defensins from azurophil granules from 1 CML patient. In addition, a 41–42 kD doublet protein band was absent from 2 PV and 1 CML patient, and reduced in the other CML patient. No difference in mobilization of granules was observed between patient neutrophils and control neutrophils. Also, stimulation with 10 8 mol/l N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine induced normal increases in intracellular Ca2+ in patient neutrophils. These results indicate that stimulus-response coupling leading to granule exocytosis is intact in neutrophils from patients with myeloproliferative disorders. 相似文献

Evidence for small intracellular vesicles in human blood phagocytes containing cytochrome b558 and the adhesion molecule CD11b/CD18 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Human neutrophils contain a rapidly mobilizable pool of so-called secretory vesicles distinct from the azurophil granules and specific granules. Using human albumin as a marker for these intracellular vesicles in immuno-electron microscopy, we found that part of the cytochrome b558 in non-purified whole blood neutrophils colocalized in these vesicles. This was detected with monoclonal antibody (MoAb) CLB- 48, binding to the high molecular weight subunit of cytochrome b558. Approximately 65% of the albumin-containing vesicles showed MoAb CLB-48 labeling. This was also found in eosinophilic granulocytes and in monocytes. Cytofluorimetric determination of cytochrome b558 expression on the plasma membrane of intact, nonpurified granulocytes (and monocytes) with MoAb 7D5, which is directed against an extracellular epitope of cytochrome b558, did not show any binding. However, granulocytes (and monocytes) significantly bound 7D5 after density centrifugation. The positive binding of 7D5 to purified neutrophilic granulocytes correlated with a strongly reduced labeling of cytochrome b558 in the albumin-positive vesicles. Binding of CD11b MoAb CLB-B2.12 to the alpha subunit of the complement receptor type 3 (CR3) on the surface of intact, nonpurified neutrophils was detected to a limited extent in whole blood samples, but was strongly increased upon density gradient centrifugation of the cells, as we have described before. Investigation at the ultrastructural level showed that the CD11b antigen codistributed with albumin in vesicular structures in nonpurified phagocytes, especially in neutrophils and eosinophils. Together, these data substantiate the idea of an intracellular store that can be easily mobilized (even under the simple stress condition of density gradient centrifugation). Such mobilization may result in the expression of cytochrome b558 on the plasma membrane, as was indicated in this study. Apart from cytochrome b558, several other surface membrane molecules, as we show here for the integrin CD11b/CD18 (CR3), are probably also located in these rapidly mobilizable intracellular vesicles. 相似文献

Despite the increasing use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for the mobilization of stem cells and neutrophils, its pharmacodynamic actions are not fully understood. Because of the roles of G-CSF and gelatinase B in leucokinetics, we set out to characterize the interaction of G-CSF with its receptor in humans and its effects on gelatinase B release. G-CSF was infused at bolus doses of 1 microg/kg and 5 microg/kg, and compared to placebo and dexamethasone (1 mg/kg b.i.d), which enhances the plasma levels of endogenous G-CSF. The study was randomized, double-blind, four-way crossover, in eight healthy male volunteers. G-CSF dose-independently induced profound neutropenia (> 95%) within minutes and downregulated its own receptor (CD114) on neutrophils by 75%. The G-CSF/CD114 interaction dose-independently induced degranulation of neutrophils as evidenced by a 300-400% increase in CD11b expression. Degranulation induced up to a 10-fold increase in plasma levels of gelatinase B, an enzyme known to precipitate neutropenia and subsequent neutrophilia in animals. In this study, it was shown that G-CSF downmodulates CD114 expression on the surface of neutrophils in humans and the consequent degranulation enhances gelatinase B release into plasma, which may contribute to mobilization of neutrophils or stem cells. 相似文献

Background and Objectives The activation of neutrophils by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I alloantibody is thought to be involved in transfusion‐related acute lung injury. Neutrophils contain various biological substances in four groups of granules, including secretory vesicles, azurophilic granules, specific granules and gelatinase granules. To characterize the activation of neutrophils by HLA Class I alloantibody, we investigated whether HLA Class I alloantibody could cause the degranulation of these groups of granules either coordinately or selectively. Materials and Methods Sera containing HLA‐A24 alloantibody were incubated with neutrophils in a washed whole blood system. CD11b expression (secretory vesicles) on neutrophils was analysed by flow cytometry, and the secretion of markers of each granule was determined by ELISA. Results The treatment of cross‐matching‐positive neutrophils with sera containing HLA‐A24 alloantibody caused the significant expression of CD11b, and the significant secretion of neutrophil elastase and myeloperoxidase, azurophilic granule markers and heparin‐binding protein (HBP), which is localized in secretory vesicles and azurophilic granules when compared with cross‐matching‐negative neutrophils. In contrast, no significant differences were observed in the secretion of lactoferrin, a marker of specific granules, and matrix methalloproteinase‐9, a marker of gelatinase granules between cross‐matching‐positive and cross‐matching‐negative cells upon stimulation with sera. CD11b expression and secretion of HBP by serum was partially inhibited by p38 mitogen‐activated protein (MAP)‐kinase inhibitors. Conclusion Neutrophils activated with sera containing HLA Class I alloantibody caused the preferential degranulation of azurophilic granules and secretory vesicles. This process was at least in part mediated by p38 MAP kinase‐involved signal transduction. 相似文献

We performed a detailed kinetic study on the in vivo effect of a single subcutaneous dose of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF; 300 micrograms) in four healthy individuals on the expression and function of neutrophil Fc gamma receptors (Fc gamma R). G-CSF did not induce Fc gamma RI (CD64) on circulating neutrophils. However, neutrophils newly formed in response to G-CSF were Fc gamma RI positive and were able to perform antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in an Fc gamma RI- dependent way. Fc gamma RII (CD32) expression was not changed significantly. Fc gamma RIII (CD16, phosphatidylinositol-linked) expression, slightly increased immediately (30 minutes) postinjection, was found to be strongly decreased on the newly formed population. For comparison, we studied the expression of the PI-linked proteins leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) and CD14. Intracellular levels of LAP mirrored the biphasic expression pattern as membrane-bound Fc gamma RIII. In contrast, CD14 expression on neutrophils was initially constant, followed by high levels on the newly formed neutrophils. Soluble CD14 levels were found to be elevated transiently, whereas peak levels of soluble Fc gamma III were observed as late as 6 days postinjection. In conclusion, we have shown that G-CSF results in an immunophenotypically and functionally altered neutrophil population for an important part as a result of its effect on myeloid precursor cells. 相似文献

Neutrophils from pig blood were disrupted by homogenisation or sonication and placed on an analytical sucrose gradient. Pig neutrophil azurophil granules were less dense than the specific granules, unlike those from neutrophils of most other mammalian species. Brushite crystals, which stimulate the respiratory burst in pig neutrophils, were found by electron microscopy to be phagocytosed. Membrane-limited vesicles containing crystals were obtained from a dense region of the sucrose gradient loaded with a homogenate of crystal treated cells. Intake of crystals involved preferential mobilisation of cytochrome b from the plasma membrane and the fusion of both specific and azurophil granules with the primary phagosome. Plasma membrane and granule markers appear in a crystal-containing region of the sucrose gradient when cells are treated with crystals. They are present in much lower concentration at this location in gradients from cells untreated with a crystal stimulus. 相似文献

We recently confirmed the existence of gelatinase granules as a subpopulation of peroxidase-negative granules by double-labeling immunogold electron microscopy on intact cells and by subcellular fractionation. Further characterization of gelatinase granules has been hampered by poor separation of specific and gelatinase granules on both two-layer Percoll gradients and sucrose gradients. We have developed a three-layer Percoll density gradient that allows separation of the different granules and vesicles from human neutrophils; in particular, it allows separation of specific and gelatinase granules. This allows us to characterize these two granule populations with regard to their content of membrane proteins, which become incorporated into the plasma membrane during exocytosis. We found that gelatinase granules, defined as peroxidase-negative granules containing gelatinase but lacking lactoferrin, contain 50% of total cell gelatinase, with the remaining residing in specific granules. Furthermore, we found that 20% to 25% of both the adhesion protein Mac-1 and the NADPH-oxidase component cytochrome b558 is localized in gelatinase granules. Although no qualitative difference was observed between specific granules and gelatinase granules with respect to cytochrome b558 and Mac-1, stimulation of the neutrophil with FMLP resulted in a selective mobilization of the least dense peroxidase-negative granules, ie, gelatinase granules, which, in concert with secretory vesicles, furnish the plasma membrane with Mac-1 and cytochrome b558. This shows that gelatinase granules are functionally important relative to specific granules in mediating early inflammatory responses. 相似文献

Human neutrophils have an important role in host defense against microbial infection. At different stages of an infectious process, neutrophils progressively up-regulate receptors and release various effector molecules. These are stored in several distinct types of granules with varying propensity to be secreted. Heparin-binding protein (HBP), also known as CAP37 or azurocidin, is a multifunctional, inactive serine-protease homologue. The present work shows that HBP is released from neutrophils on stimulation with secretagogues that do not trigger the secretion of azurophilic granule content. Therefore, the subcellular localization of HBP was investigated in more detail. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that HBP was localized close to the plasma membrane. Further analysis by fractionation of postnuclear supernatants from cavitated neutrophils showed that HBP is stored in azurophilic granules and secretory vesicles but that it is also detected to a minor extent in the plasma membrane. These findings were confirmed by immunoelectron microscopy showing that HBP colocalized with marker proteins of azurophilic granules and secretory vesicles. The presence of HBP in secretory vesicles possibly depends on the stage of cell differentiation, since the promyelocytic cell line HL-60 contains less HBP than mature neutrophils, stored exclusively in the less easily mobilized azurophilic granules. Our findings suggest that HBP can be synthesized or targeted to easily mobilized compartments at a late stage of neutrophil maturation. The ability of neutrophils to secrete HBP from secretory vesicles may be important for proinflammatory functions of this protein, such as the alteration of vascular permeability. 相似文献

Neutrophil research relies largely on studies with highly purified cells. Yet the isolation procedures induce changes in surface expression of several proteins. We used a large panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to characterize in detail the phenotypic changes during isolation and stimulation of human neutrophils. Centrifugation on density gradients appears to be the crucial step that causes an increase in expression of antigens not detectable on neutrophils in whole blood samples (cytochrome b558 recognized by MoAb 7D5; and CD10) or expressed at significantly lower levels (CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, CD13, CD16, CD45, and CD67). Other antigens were unaffected by the density gradient centrifugation step (CD32, CD54, CD58, Leu-8, HLA class I). Upregulation of antigens was also determined by stimulation of purified neutrophils. Upregulation of CD63 was an excellent marker for release from azurophil granules. We subsequently related the surface antigen expression to functional activities of purified neutrophils. From these experiments, we concluded that 7D5-as "early activation" marker--does not necessarily discriminate between primed or resting neutrophils with respect to NADPH oxidase activity. 相似文献

The ultrastructural localization of peroxidase activity has been studied in the circulating neutrophils and in a neutrophilic series of bone marrow cells from a patient with preleukaemia. Light microscopic examination showed 36% of the polymorphonuclear leucocytes to be totally devoid of myeloperoxidase, while 50% were normally stained and 14% were slightly positive for this enzyme. Electron microscopic studies revealed considerable heterogeneity in the promyelocyte population, since the number of peroxidase-deficient azurophil granules was seen to vary from 0 to 100% in these cells. Thus, several types of promyelocytes were identified. One cell type, which resembled that seen in normal subjects, contained myeloperoxidase within its azurophil granules and also within the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. A second type of promyelocyte, which was at an early stage of development, lacked myeloperoxidase in its secretory apparatus. These cells contained two species of azurophil granules, the first of which was devoid of peroxidase activity whereas the other reacted positively. These observations suggest that the premature arrest of myeloperoxidase synthesis in the promyelocytes from a preleukaemic patient may give rise to several populations of circulating neutrophils which can exhibit varying contents of myeloperoxidase. 相似文献

Although leukocytes of the innate immune system, including eosinophils, contain within their granules preformed stores of cytokines available for selective and rapid release, little is known about the mechanisms governing the mobilization and secretion of these cytokines. Here we show that a cytokine receptor, the IL-4 receptor alpha chain, mediates eotaxin-stimulated mobilization of preformed IL-4 from eosinophil granules into secretory vesicles. Eosinophils contain substantial intracellular quantities of several granule- and vesicle-associated cytokine receptors, including IL-4, IL-6, and IL-13 receptors as well as CCR3. Both IL-4 and IL-4 receptor alpha chain colocalized in eosinophil granules; and after eotaxin-stimulation, IL-4 receptor alpha chain, bearing bound IL-4, was mobilized into secretory vesicles. These findings indicate that intracellular cytokine receptors within secretory vesicles transport their cognate cytokines requisite for the secretion of cytokines preformed in innate immune leukocytes. 相似文献

Alcohol impairs neutrophil function and predisposes the host to infectious complications. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) increases both the number and functional activities of neutrophils. This study investigated the effects of G-CSF on the pulmonary response to endotoxin in rats with or without acute ethanol intoxication. Acute ethanol intoxication inhibited tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 production in the lung and suppressed the recruitment of neutrophils into the lung. Ethanol also inhibited CD11b/c expression on recruited neutrophils and suppressed the phagocytic activity of circulating neutrophils. G-CSF pretreatment up-regulated CD11b/c expression on circulating polymorphonuclear leukocytes, augmented the recruitment of neutrophils into the lung, and enhanced the phagocytic activity of circulating and recruited neutrophils in both the absence and presence of acute ethanol intoxication. G-CSF inhibited MIP-2 but not TNF-alpha production in the lung. These data suggest that G-CSF may be useful in the prevention or treatment of infections in persons immunocompromised by alcohol. 相似文献

Secretion of neutrophil granules is dependent on calcium, but at the same time this process is regulated differently for each type of granules. We attempted to find calcium-regulated proteins that selectively translocate from the cytosol to the membranes of the neutrophil granules. An in vitro calcium-dependent translocation assay was designed by mixing cytosol with different neutrophil organelles isolated by subcellular fractionation. Immunoblotting using an anti- cytosol antiserum revealed a cytosolic protein of 42 kD that selectively binds to the specific granules of human neutrophils. It was neither associated with the azurophil granules nor with the secretory vesicles/plasma membrane. The protein was translocated at a calcium concentration of 100 micromol/L and binding was further increased by 1 mmol/L calcium. The 42-kD protein was partially purified from neutrophil cytosol by using its affinity for specific granules and by ion-exchange chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the partly purified protein allowed the 42-kD band to be excised and subjected to tryptic peptide mapping. Peptides from three peaks were N-terminally sequenced. Searching among known proteins, each one of the amino acid sequences was found to share sequence similarity to annexin XI. 相似文献

In situ localization by double-labeling immunoelectron microscopy of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies in neutrophils and monocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) associated with active Wegener's granulomatosis are directed against a soluble 29-Kd protein present in human neutrophils and monocytes. Affinity labeling with tritiated diisopropylfluorophosphate (3H-DFP) suggested that ANCA-antigen is a serine protease. We used immunoelectron microscopy to study the in situ localization of the ANCA-antigen in normal human neutrophils and monocytes using immunoglobulin G (IgG) from ANCA-positive patients and a mouse monoclonal antibody against the ANCA-antigen. Label was observed on the large granules of the neutrophils and in granules of monocytes. Double-labeling, using anti-myeloperoxidase or the peroxidase reaction as markers for azurophil granules and anti-lactoferrin as marker for specific granules, showed that ANCA is colocalized with markers of azurophil granules but not with lactoferrin. Furthermore, elastase and cathepsin G were found in the azurophil granules of neutrophils and in the peroxidase-positive granules of monocytes, colocalized with ANCA-antigen. Cytochalasin-B-treated neutrophils stimulated with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) formed large intracellular vacuoles and were partially degranulated. Some vacuoles contained ANCA-antigen, as well as myeloperoxidase, elastase, and cathepsin G, demonstrating release of these enzymes from the azurophil granules into vacuoles. Our results demonstrate that ANCA-antigen is located in myeloperoxidase-containing granules of neutrophils and monocytes, and is packaged in the same granules as elastase and cathepsin G, the two previously identified serine proteases of myeloid leukocytes. 相似文献

The subcellular localization and mobilization of carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 8 (CEACAM8) was investigated quantitatively in human neutrophils. In resting neutrophils the majority of CEACAM8 was present in the secondary granules, and a small amount of CEACAM8 was present in a light membrane fraction. Stimulation of the neutrophils with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate caused a dramatic increase in the content of CEACAM8 in the light membrane fraction, suggesting a translocation of CEACAM8 to the plasma membrane from intracellular pools. The cellular content of CEACAM8 in the neutrophils was estimated to be 82.4 +/- 8.9 ng/10(6) cells (mean +/- SE, n = 10). Administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to healthy individuals resulted in an increased content of CEACAM8 in neutrophils on day 1, which decreased on day 4. However, the content of CEACAM8 in the light membrane fraction was increased on day 4, possibly due to the stimulation by induced secondary cytokines, such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). This study establishes the secondary granules as the major intracellular pools of CEACAM8 in human neutrophils, from which it may translocate to the plasma membranes upon stimulation of the cells. The translocation of CEACAM8 seen in vivo after G-CSF administration is probably indirect and caused by cytokines such as TNF-alpha. 相似文献

In essential hypertension (EHT) the presence of a metabolic syndrome increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. A cell membrane abnormality is implicated but its role in cardiovascular disease is unclear. Neutrophil accumulation, which occurs by β2-integrin (CD11b/CD18) expression, followed by release of proinflammatory factors from primary vesicles is an important factor in vascular damage.CD11b and CD69 expression on neutrophils from normal controls and EHT patients was determined by fluorescence-activated cell scanning. Neutrophils were activated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Protein kinase C (PKC) and calpain were inhibited with bisindolylmaleimide and E64d, respectively.In EHT patients CD11b was not increased on neutrophils at rest. However, EHT neutrophils more readily expressed CD11b on incubation in phosphate-buffered saline and more cells went on to exocytose primary granules indicated by expression of CD69. Stimulation with PMA caused more rapid activation in EHT neutrophils with expression of CD11b, followed rapidly by exocytosis of primary granules. Bisindolylmaleimide slowed but did not prevent CD11b expression, which, together with primary granule exocytosis, continued to be faster in EHT neutrophils. E64d also slowed but did not prevent either CD11b expression or primary granule exocytosis, but this inhibitor did abolish the difference between NC and EHT neutrophils.The membrane abnormality in EHT may contribute to cardiovascular risk by increasing the rate of vesicle fusion with the cell membrane to increase neutrophil accumulation and release of inflammatory agents at sites of vascular damage. Calpain activation may be the rate-limiting component that is abnormal. 相似文献

The coordinated action of G-CSF and ELR + CXC chemokines in neutrophil mobilization during acute inflammation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In this study, we have identified a unique combinatorial effect of the chemokines KC/MIP-2 and the cytokine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) with respect to the rapid mobilization of neutrophils from the bone marrow in a model of acute peritonitis. At 2 hours following an intraperitoneal injection of thioglycollate, there was a 4.5-fold increase in blood neutrophil numbers, which was inhibited 84% and 72% by prior administration of blocking mAbs against either the chemokines KC/MIP-2 or G-CSF, respectively. An intraperitoneal injection of G-CSF acted remotely to stimulate neutrophil mobilization, but did not elicit recruitment into the peritoneum. Further, in vitro G-CSF was neither chemotactic nor chemokinetic for murine neutrophils, and had no priming effect on chemotaxis stimulated by chemokines. Here, we show that, in vitro and in vivo, G-CSF induces neutrophil mobilization by disrupting their SDF-1alpha-mediated retention in the bone marrow. Using an in situ perfusion system of the mouse femoral bone marrow to directly assess mobilization, KC and G-CSF mobilized 6.8 x 10(6) and 5.4 x 10(6) neutrophils, respectively, while the infusion of KC and G-CSF together mobilized 19.5 x 10(6) neutrophils, indicating that these factors act cooperatively with respect to neutrophil mobilization. 相似文献

Blood neutrophils recruited to cystic fibrosis (CF) airways are believed to be rapidly killed by resident bacteria and to passively release elastase and other toxic by-products that promote disease progression. By single-cell analysis, we demonstrate that profound functional and signaling changes readily occur within viable neutrophils recruited to CF airways, compared with their blood counterparts. Airway neutrophils have undergone conventional activation, as shown by decreased intracellular glutathione, increased lipid raft assembly, surface mobilization of CD11b+ and CD66b+ granules, and increased levels of the cytoskeleton-associated phospho-Syk kinase. Unexpectedly, they also mobilize to the surface CD63+ elastase-rich granules, usually confined intracellularly, and lose surface expression of CD16 and CD14, both key receptors in phagocytosis. Furthermore, they express CD80, major histocompatibility complex type II, and the prostaglandin D2 receptor CD294, all normally associated with other lineages, which reflects functional reprogramming. This notion is reinforced by their decreased total phosphotyrosine levels, mirroring a postactivated stage, and increased levels of the phospho-S6 ribosomal protein, a key anabolic switch. Thus, we identified a subset of neutrophils within CF airways with a viable but dysfunctional phenotype. This subset provides a possible therapeutic target and indicates a need to revisit current paradigms of CF airway disease. 相似文献

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) are frequently used in the clinical management of neutropenia. These cytokines not only enhance the proliferation of myeloid precursor cells but also influence the function of mature leukocytes. In a previous study, we found that the in vivo effects of G-CSF on neutrophils differed from those in vitro. In the present study, we investigated the effects of a single dose of recombinant GM-CSF (7.5 microg/kg, subcutaneously) on neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes in healthy volunteers. We analyzed leukocyte kinetics, phenotypical changes, neutrophil degranulation, and systemic cytokine production. After GM-CSF injection, phenotypical changes included upregulation of CD11b on all three cell types and a decreased expression of L-selectin and Fc(gamma)RIII on neutrophils. Neutrophil degranulation was evident from the increased plasma concentrations of lactoferrin and elastase. GM-CSF induced the release of interleukin-8 (IL-8), but not of IL-6 or tumor necrosis factor alpha. In comparison to the results from our previous study with G-CSF in healthy volunteers, GM-CSF induced a stronger activation of mature neutrophils but had a much less pronounced effect on the production and maturation of neutrophil precursors. These data may help to guide the choice between the two cytokines in different clinical situations. 相似文献
