Chemotaxis by polymorphonuclear leukocytes
The ability of a cell or organism to direct its movement along a chemical gradient has fascinated biologists for over 100 yr. This process of chemotaxis requires transformation of directional information from the environment into a series of cellular responses resulting in directional movement. Many lower organisms including bacteria, protozoa, and slime molds exhibit chemotaxis. This ability h...

متن کاملExpression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and -9 in Meningioma
Background: Meningioma is one of the most common tumors of the central nervous system. It was shown that meningioma had up-regulated expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) that involved in cell growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. Objectives: The aim of the study was the assessment of serum MMP-2 and -9 levels in patients with different grades of meningioma. Materials & Me...
متن کاملNitric oxide inhibits superoxide production by inflammatory polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Nitric oxide (NO ⋅) has a complex role in the inflammatory response. In this study, we modified the levels of endogenous NO ⋅ in vivo in an acute model of inflammation and evaluated the interactions between NO ⋅ and superoxide anion ([Formula: see text]) produced by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) accumulated in the inflamed area. We injected phosphate-buffered saline (control group), 6 μmo...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase expression and production by alveolar macrophages in emphysema.
The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that alveolar macrophages represent a significant source of matrix-degrading proteinases in the emphysematous lung. Macrophages from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of 10 patients with emphysema and 10 normal volunteers were maintained in vitro for 24 h and assessed semiquantitatively for mRNA transcript levels of the matrix metalloproteinases (M...
