Tobacco use increases susceptibility to bacterial infection
Active smokers and those exposed to secondhand smoke are at increased risk of bacterial infection. Tobacco smoke exposure increases susceptibility to respiratory tract infections, including tuberculosis, pneumonia and Legionnaires disease; bacterial vaginosis and sexually transmitted diseases, such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea; Helicobacter pylori infection; periodontitis; meningitis; otitis med...
متن کاملPhagocytosis-induced modulation of human neutrophil chemotaxis receptors.
We investigated the effect of a major physiologic event, phagocytosis. on the ability of human neutrophils (PMN) to bind the synthetic chemotactic peptide, 3H-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (3H-FMLP). We found that both latex and opsonized zymosan (OPZ) particles caused dosedependent suppression of 3H-FMLP binding and abolition of 3H-FMLP binding with concentrations of OPZ greater than 2...
متن کاملInhibition of human neutrophil chemotaxis by corticosteroids.
A direct inhibitory effect of hydrocortisone on granulocyte chemotaxis has been demonstrated with an increasing inhibition between concentrations of 5 microgram to 12.5 microgram per ml. Washing the granulocytes after incubation with hydrocortisone did not reverse the inhibitory effect on chemotaxis indicating a direct cellular effect. Bacteriocidal capacity of the hydrocortisone treated cells ...
متن کاملThe interrelationship between phagocytosis, autophagy and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps following infection of human neutrophils by Streptococcus pneumoniae
Neutrophils play an important role in the innate immune response to infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae, the pneumococcus. Pneumococci are phagocytosed by neutrophils and undergo killing after ingestion. Other cellular processes may also be induced, including autophagy and the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which may play a role in bacterial eradication. We set out to d...
متن کاملMicroRNA deregulation and chemotaxis and phagocytosis impairment in Alzheimer's disease
INTRODUCTION Mononuclear phagocytes play a critical role during Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis due to their contribution to innate immune responses and amyloid beta (Aβ) clearance mechanisms. METHODS Blood-derived monocytes (BDMs) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) were isolated from blood of AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, and age-matched healthy controls for molecu...
