Leukocytes synthesize angiotensinogen.
To determine whether leukocytes express the angiotensinogen gene, we subjected circulating rat leukocytes and murine bone marrow cells to Northern blot analysis and hybridization with homologous angiotensinogen complementary DNA. Angiotensinogen messenger RNA sequences were detected in circulating adult rat leukocytes, in murine-irradiated and nonirradiated bone marrow stromal cells, and in an ...
متن کاملActivated Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes Rapidly Synthesize Retinoic Acid Receptor-α
In addition to releasing preformed granular proteins, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) synthesize chemokines and other factors under transcriptional control. Here we demonstrate that PMNs express an inducible transcriptional modulator by signal-dependent activation of specialized mechanisms that regulate messenger RNA (mRNA) translation. HL-60 myelocytic cells differentiated to surrogate PMN...
متن کاملDistinct glycosyltransferases synthesize E-selectin ligands in human vs. mouse leukocytes
The binding of selectins to carbohydrate epitopes expressed on leukocytes is the first step in a multi-step cell adhesion cascade that controls the rate of leukocyte recruitment at sites of inflammation. The glycans that function as selectin-ligands are post-translationally synthesized by the serial action of Golgi resident enzymes called glycosyltransferases (glycoTs). Whereas much of our curr...
متن کاملDifferential Angiotensinogen Haplotype Regulation in Angiotensinogen-Expressing Cells
A number of naturally occurring polymorphisms exist in the human angiotensinogen locus, some of which have been associated with essential hypertension, preeclampsia, and other medical disorders. However, to date there has been no comprehensive determination of the significance of specific haplotypes in relation to the regulation of angiotensinogen expression. We cloned the promoters extending f...
متن کاملHuman platelets and polymorphonuclear leukocytes synthesize oxygenated derivatives of arachidonylethanolamide (anandamide): their affinities for cannabinoid receptors and pathways of inactivation.
Arachidonylethanolamide (AEA), the putative endogenous ligand of the cannabinoid receptor, has been shown to be a substrate for lipoxygenase enzymes in vitro. One goal of this study was to determine whether lipoxygenase-rich cells metabolize AEA. [14C]AEA was converted by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to two major metabolites that comigrated with synthetic 12(S)- and 15(S)-hydroxy-a...
