Superoxide Anion Production by Human Neutrophils Activated by Trichomonas vaginalis
Neutrophils are the predominant inflammatory cells found in vaginal discharges of patients infected with Trichomonas vaginalis. In this study, we examined superoxide anion (O2 (.-)) production by neutrophils activated by T. vaginalis. Human neutrophils produced superoxide anions when stimulated with either a lysate of T. vaginalis, its membrane component (MC), or excretory-secretory product (ES...
متن کاملCollagen activates superoxide anion production by human polymorphonuclear neutrophils.
Human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), purified on Ficoll-Hypaque cushions, were incubated for 5 min with calf skin acid-soluble collagen and the released superoxide anions (O2-) measured spectrophotometrically by reduction of ferricytochrome c or by chemiluminescence analysis. This collagen stimulated the release of O2- unless it had been treated with pepsin. The stimulatory activity rema...
متن کاملAdenosine: a physiological modulator of superoxide anion generation by human neutrophils
The effects of adenosine were studied on human neutrophils with respect to their generation of superoxide anion, degranulation, and aggregation in response to soluble stimuli. Adenosine markedly inhibited superoxide anion generation by neutrophils stimulated with N-formyl methionyl leucyl phenylalanine (FMLP), concanavalin A (Con A), calcium ionophore A23187, and zymosan-treated serum; it inhib...
متن کاملHuman granulocytic ehrlichiosis agent inhibits superoxide anion generation by human neutrophils.
The human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) agent, which replicates in neutrophils, was found not to induce superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) generation or extracellular release by human peripheral blood neutrophils, as measured by a luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay or a cytochrome c reduction assay, respectively. Furthermore, the HGE agent completely prevented O(2-) release by neutrophils upon...
متن کاملSignal transduction mechanism involved in Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin-induced superoxide anion generation in rabbit neutrophils.
Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin induces the generation of superoxide anion (O2(-)) via production of 1,2-diacylglycerol (DG) in rabbit neutrophils. The mechanism of the generation, however, remains poorly understood. Here we report a novel mechanism for the toxin-induced production of O2(-) in rabbit neutrophils. Treatment of the cells with the toxin resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of ...
