Beta 2-integrin and L-selectin are obligatory receptors in neutrophil aggregation [see comments]

We have recently found that antibodies to L-selectin, the homing receptor on neutrophils, are as effective as those to beta 2-integrin at blocking formyl peptide-stimulated aggregation. Therefore, we investigated the requirements for expression of L-selectin and beta 2- integrin on adjacent cells during aggregation. Fluorescence flow cytometry allowed characterization of aggregates on the basis of size and color, as well as antibody binding to these two adhesive molecules. Formyl peptide-stimulated aggregate formation was measured for individual populations fluorescently labeled red (LDS-751) or green (CD44-FITC), and interpopulation red-green cell conjugates. Blocking either the beta 2-integrin or L-selectin adhesive epitope with monoclonal antibody on individual cell populations resulted in an approximately 50% reduction in two-color aggregation as compared with that in unblocked samples. Shedding the L-selectin on a cell population by preincubation with complexes of lipopolysaccharide and its plasma membrane binding protein also decreased aggregation to a control population by approximately 50%. We examined the aggregation of neutrophils from patients genetically deficient in beta 2-integrin and clinically leukocyte adhesion deficient (LAD). LAD adhesion to normal neutrophils was dependent on the expression of L-selectin on LAD cells and beta 2-integrin on normal cells. Thus, the minimum requirement for adhesion between two mixed populations of neutrophils was that one population expressed the beta 2-integrin and the other expressed the L- selectin adhesive epitope.

Induction of proliferation of B prolymphocytic leukemia cells by phorbol ester and native or recombinant interferon-gamma

Phorbol ester phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) induces proliferation in nonmalignant human B cells and B cells from a patient with B prolymphocytic leukemia (B-PLL). Mitogen-free T cell-derived conditioned medium acts synergistically with PMA in inducing proliferation of B-PLL cells but does not enhance the PMA-stimulated outgrowth of nonmalignant B cells. Interleukin 2 (IL-2) has no effect on the outgrowth of B-PLL cells, and monoclonal antibodies against the IL-2 receptor do not influence the response to PMA and conditioned medium. Recombinant interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), in contrast, is a potent enhancer of PMA-induced proliferation of B-PLL cells. With gel filtration techniques and with the use of anti-IFN-gamma antibodies, it is shown that IFN-gamma in the conditioned medium is responsible for the observed increase in B-PLL cell proliferation. Preincubation of B- PLL cells with IFN-gamma induces responsiveness to PMA, whereas IFN- gamma alone had no effect on these cells when pretreated with PMA. The combined data show that, in the presence of PMA, native and recombinant IFN-gamma are growth factors for B cells from a B-PLL patient and that IL-2 is not involved in this process.     

几种表面活性剂对P-gp底物罗丹明123经肠黏膜透过性的影响

 目的观察低浓度表面活性剂聚氧乙烯蓖麻油,Labrasol和聚山梨酯80对肠黏膜P-gp的调控作用。方法使用体外扩散池法评价罗丹明123(R123)经空肠、回肠和结肠黏膜的经时经吸收方向和分泌方向的透过量和透过系数(P_app),并测定不同浓度表面活性剂对R123和荧光素钠(CF)经肠黏膜透过性的影响。R123和CF在接受室中的浓度用荧光分光光度法测定。结果R123经肠道黏膜的透过性存在部位差,即以空肠、回肠和结肠的次序透过性依次减少。另一方面,R123经肠道分泌方向的透过性显著地高于其吸收方向的透过性。低浓度的CEL和Labrasol可显著增强R123经吸收方向的透过性,减少经分泌方向的透过性;而低浓度的聚山梨酯80可显著增强R123经吸收方向的透过性,但对经分泌方向的透过性无显著影响。但实验浓度的表面活性剂对CF的肠道转运没有影响。结论低浓度的聚氧乙烯蓖麻油、Labrasol和聚山梨酯80可通过对P-gp功能的抑制而用于改善受P-gp介导药物的吸收,有望提高此类药物的口服生物利用度。     

Global vascular expression of murine CD34, a sialomucin-like endothelial ligand for L-selectin

Extravasation of leukocytes into organized lymphoid tissues and into sites of inflammation is critical to immune surveillance. Leukocyte migration to peripheral lymph nodes (PLN), mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) and Peyer's patches (PP) depends on L-selectin, which recognizes carbohydrate-bearing, sialomucin-like endothelial cell surface glycoproteins. Two of these ligands have been identified at the molecular level. One is the potentially soluble mucin, GlyCAM 1, which is almost exclusively produced by high endothelial venules (HEV) of PLN and MLN. The second HEV ligand for L-selectin is the membrane-bound sialomucin CD34. Historically, this molecule has been successfully used to purify human pluripotent bone marrow stem cells, and limited data suggest that human CD34 is present on the vascular endothelium of several organs. Here we describe a comprehensive analysis of the vascular expression of CD34 in murine tissues using a highly specific antimurine CD34 polyclonal antibody. CD34 was detected on vessels in all organs examined and was expressed during pancreatic and skin inflammatory episodes. A subset of HEV-like vessels in the inflamed pancreas of nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice are positive for both CD34 and GlyCAM 1, and bind to an L-selectin/immunoglobulin G (IgG) chimeric probe. Finally, we found that CD34 is present on vessels of deafferentiated PLN, despite the fact that these vessels are no longer able to interact with L-selectin or support lymphocyte binding in vitro or trafficking in vivo. Our data suggest that the regulation of posttranslational carbohydrate modifications of CD34 is critical in determining its capability to act as an L-selectin ligand. Based on its ubiquitous expression, we propose that an appropriately glycosylated form of vascular CD34 may act as a ligand for L-selectin-mediated leukocyte trafficking to both lymphoid and nonlymphoid sites.     

Analysis of temporal requirements for myocardial tissue velocity imaging.

AIMS: Movements of myocardial walls include components of high velocity and short duration calling for a high sampling rate in the acquisition of tissue velocity imaging data. This study aims at establishing the optimal sampling requirements for tissue velocity imaging measurements. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 16 healthy individuals, tissue velocity imaging data were acquired at a frame rate of 141-203 frames/s for a subsequent off-line analysis using software enabling a reduction of the sampling rate to 50%, 25% and 12.5% of the initial frame rate. Different components of the myocardial velocity profile were measured at each of these frame rates. The deviation of the results from the initial values increased markedly at decreasing frame rates, producing an underestimation of peak systolic and diastolic velocities, most other measured parameters being overestimated. A cut-off point for an acceptable < or =10% deviation of the results corresponded to at least 70 frames/s for peak systolic and early diastolic velocity, and to at least 100 frames/s for other systolic and diastolic parameters. CONCLUSION: A high sampling rate is essential for a proper rendering of tissue velocity imaging signals, too low frame rates resulting in inferior accuracy of the results. This should be kept in mind while viewing reported tissue velocity imaging data.
