Activation by Arachidonic Acid
Mechanosensitive ion channels have been described in many types of cells. These channels are believed to transduce pressure signals into intracellular biochemical and physiological events. In this study, the patch-clamp technique was used to idendfy and characterize a mechanosensitive ion channel in rat atrial cells. In cell-attached patches, negative pressure in the pipette activated an ion ch...
متن کاملRole of arachidonic acid in stimulation of hexose transport by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Whereas insulin does not stimulate hexose transport in polymorphonuclear leukocytes, we recently reported that C5a causes the leukocytes to take up 2-[(3)H]deoxyglucose. We now find that fMet-Leu-Phe, in a concentration-related manner with an EC(50) (concentration producing 50% of stimulatory activity) of 1.2 nM, causes a 5.5-fold stimulation of deoxyglucose uptake. Moreover, arachidonic acid (...
متن کاملArachidonic acid metabolism and the adhesion of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes to cultured vascular endothelial cells.
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) adhere to the vascular endothelial lining in vivo and to the surfaces of cultured endothelial cells in vitro, but the mechanisms of these cellular interactions remain unclear. Arachidonic acid metabolites, both cyclooxygenase- and lipoxygenase-derived, have been shown to influence PMN locomotion, secretion, and adhesion to artificial surfaces. To determine whe...
متن کاملProkaryotic RNA Associated to Bacterial Viability Induces Polymorphonuclear Neutrophil Activation
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) are the first cellular line of antibacterial host defense. They sense pathogens through recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by innate pattern recognition receptors, such as Toll-like receptors (TLR). The aim of this study was to investigate whether PMN sense bacterial viability and explore which viability factor could be involved in ...
متن کاملArachidonic acid metabolism in polymorphonuclear leukocytes from patients with chronic granulomatous disease.
The effect of the calcium ionophore A23187 on the release and metabolism of [3H]arachidonic acid was examined in normal polymorphonuclear leukocytes and those obtained from patients with chronic granulomatous disease. The ionophore A23187 which stimulates oxidative metabolism in normal polymorphonuclear leukocytes was ineffective in increasing oxidative metabolism (chemiluminescence) in polymor...
