Interactions of cytoplasmic granules with microtubules in human neutrophils
Ultrastructural and functional studies of degranulation responses by human neutrophils have suggested that microtubules (MTs) have a role in the intracellular transport of neutrophil granules. We have found that granule-MT complexes can be isolated from disrupted taxol-treated (1.0 microM) neutrophils, visualized by electron microscopy, and quantified in terms of granules per MT length. After i...
متن کاملThe secretion of preformed granules by macrophages and neutrophils.
The ability of macrophages and neutrophils to defend tissue homeostasis and participate in inflammatory responses depends on their ability to mobilize granule-membrane proteins and granule content into their external milieu and into phagosomes by regulated secretory processes. Many laboratories have invested much time and effort into furthering our understanding of vesicular transport and secre...
متن کاملHuman monocytes and neutrophils store transforming growth factor-alpha in a subpopulation of cytoplasmic granules.
Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) exerts several effects on target cells, such as neovascularization promotion and mitogenic signalling. Using immunoelectron microscopy, we show that monocytes and neutrophils, store TGF-alpha in cytoplasmic granules. In monocytes, TGF-alpha did not colocalize with components of peroxidase-positive granules or with albumin of secretory vesicles. Furth...
متن کاملAzurophilic granules of human neutrophils contain CD14.
CD14, the leukocyte receptor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS), is important in the response of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to infection with gram-negative bacteria. The level of CD14 on the PMN surface increases after exposure to some inflammatory stimuli such as N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). These newly expressed CD14 molecules probably come from an intracellular po...
متن کاملDefensin-rich dense granules of human neutrophils.
Defensins are a newly recognized class of small, cationic polypeptides that have in vitro microbicidal activity toward certain bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Human neutrophil granules were separated into 13 density fractions by using a high-resolution Percoll gradient centrifugation procedure, and the distribution of the three defensin polypeptides in these fractions was determined. Levels of de...
