Neutrophil chemotaxis and anaesthesia.
Using a modified Boyden technique, the ability of normal human neutrophils to migrate in response to chemotactic stimulation was evaluated during exposure in vitro to halothane and thiopentone. No abnormality in neutrophil chemotaxis could be demonstrated with either agent at concentrations used clinically. The anaesthetics also did not effect serum complement, which was used as the chemotactic...
متن کاملCalpain regulates neutrophil chemotaxis.
Cell polarization is required for directed cell migration. We investigated the role of the calcium-dependent protease calpain during neutrophil chemotaxis and found that calpain inhibition induced neutrophil adhesion, polarization, and rapid chemokinesis in the absence of exogenous activators. Resting neutrophils display constitutive calpain activity with mu-calpain being the predominant active...
متن کاملAdenosine promotes neutrophil chemotaxis
We have previously (1-4) demonstrated that adenosine, by engaging specific receptors on the surface of neutrophils, inhibits generation of toxic oxygen metabolites by activated neutrophils and prevents these activated neutrophils from injuring endothelial cells. We now report the surprising observation that engagement of these same neutrophil adenosine receptors promotes chemotaxis to C5 fragme...
متن کاملNeutrophil chemotaxis on silicone and polyurethane surfaces.
Silicone vascular catheters have a greater risk of infection and produce greater inflammation in vivo and greater complement activation in vitro than other vascular catheter polymer materials. This study investigated whether polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) chemotaxis under agarose on silicone surfaces is different than on polyurethane (PU). Glass slides were coated with silicone and PU by us...
متن کاملNeutrophil chemotaxis and adhesion in preterm babies.
To investigate the increased susceptibility to infection of very immature preterm neonates, neutrophil chemotaxis, Mac-1 adhesion receptor expression, and adherence to human umbilical vein endothelial cell monolayers (HUVE) were examined in neonates born at less than or equal to 32 weeks' gestation. Chemotaxis of neutrophils from well preterm neonates towards casein or zymosan activated serum (...
