Lipopolysaccharide upregulates surface expression of CD14 on human alveolar macrophages.
This study was undertaken to examine the surface expression and regulation of CD14 on human alveolar macrophages (HAM). HAM obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage were cultured with or without LPS and with or without fetal bovine serum (FBS) on plastic or Teflon surfaces. CD14 expression was assessed by immunofluorescence. The roles of protein tyrosine kinase, protein kinase A, and protein kinase C...
متن کاملCoordinated Regulation of miR-155 and miR-146a Genes during Induction of Endotoxin Tolerance in Macrophages.
Endotoxin tolerance occurs to protect the organism from hyperactivation of innate immune responses, primarily mediated by macrophages. Regulation of endotoxin tolerance occurs at multiple levels of cell responses and requires significant changes in gene expression. In the process of macrophage activation, induced expression of microRNA (miR)-155 and miR-146a contributes to the regulation of the...
متن کاملActivation of second messenger pathways in alveolar macrophages by endotoxin.
The alveolar macrophage plays an important role in immune surveillance of the lung. Early responses to infectious agents by macrophages can decrease tissue injury and promote recovery of the host. Macrophage responses to pathogens are the cornerstone of the innate or nonspecific immune system. In particular, the response of macrophages to endotoxin from gram negative bacteria has been the focus...
متن کاملMembrane transport of clindamycin in alveolar macrophages.
The use of antibiotics which can penetrate phagocytic cells and kill intracellular organisms is desirable in the treatment of chronic facultative bacterial infections. Recently, we reported that several antibiotics were selectively concentrated by rabbit alveolar macrophages. Clindamycin accumulation was especially marked. In the present study we evaluated the plasma membrane transport (initial...
متن کاملCHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS IN PULMONARY ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES
In this study the nature of chromosomal proteins, his tones and nonhistone in resident alveolar macrophages was investigated in comparison to peritoneal neutrophils and calf thymus proteins. Cells were obtained by lavaging the lung and after purity determination they were subjected to fractional extraction procedures. Proteins were then analysed on SDS polyacrylamide gels and densitometric...
