Mechanical deformation induces depolarization of neutrophils
The transition of neutrophils from a resting state to a primed state is an essential requirement for their function as competent immune cells. This transition can be caused not only by chemical signals but also by mechanical perturbation. After cessation of either, these cells gradually revert to a quiescent state over 40 to 120 min. We use two biophysical tools, an optical stretcher and a nove...
متن کاملEffect of mechanical deformation of neutrophils on their CD18/ICAM-1-dependent adhesion.
Mechanical deformation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) changes their expression of the surface adhesion molecule CD11b/CD18. We tested the hypothesis that mechanical deformation of PMN enhances their adhesiveness. Purified human PMN were deformed through either 5- or 3-microm polycarbonate membrane filters and allowed to adhere to 96-well plates coated with human recombinant intercellular...
متن کاملMechanical deformation of neutrophils into narrow channels induces pseudopod projection and changes in biomechanical properties.
Neutrophils traversing the pulmonary microcirculation are subjected to mechanical stimulation during their deformation into narrow capillaries. To better understand the time-dependant changes caused by this mechanical stimulus, neutrophils were caused to flow into a microchannel, which allowed simultaneous visualization of cell morphology and passive rheological measurement by tracking the Brow...
متن کاملStudying ilmenite dissolution using mechanical activation method
In this work, the effects of temperature, acid concentration, and mechanical activation on dissolution of ilmenite were studied using the statistical design of experiment technique. Mechanical activation was carried out using a planetary ball mill in dry mode, and the resulting structural changes were characterized by the particle size analysis, specific surface area measurements, and X-ray dif...
متن کاملCytoskeletal remodeling and cellular activation during deformation of neutrophils into narrow channels.
Neutrophils are subjected to mechanical stimulation as they deform into the narrow capillary segments of the pulmonary microcirculation. The present study seeks to understand the changes in the cytoskeletal structure and the extent of biological activation as a result of this process. Neutrophils were passed through narrow polycarbonate filter pores under physiological driving pressures, fixed,...
