Inflammatory chemoreceptor cross-talk suppresses leukotriene B4 receptor 1-mediated neutrophil calcium mobilization and chemotaxis after trauma.

چکیده
G protein-coupled chemoattractants recruit neutrophils (PMN) to sites of injury and infection. The leukotrienes (LT) and CXC chemokines (CXC) and their receptors (BLT1/BLT2 and CXCR1/CXCR2) are all known to play roles in these responses. Each system has been studied separately in vitro, but in vivo they act concurrently, and the clinical interactions between the two systems are unstudied. We prospectively studied calcium mobilization and chemotactic responses to LTB(4) in PMN from major trauma patients. The responses of the high affinity BLT1 receptor were suppressed at the 3-day postinjury time point, but recovered by 1 wk. Trauma patients had transient elevations of plasma LT and CXC levels. Functional deficits identical with those in trauma PMN were reproduced in vitro by exposing healthy PMN to CXCs at the elevated plasma concentrations found. Functional responses to LTB(4) were suppressed by cross-talk with CXC and BLT2 receptors that desensitize BLT1. Since the suppression of intracellular calcium mobilization was prominent, we also studied the role of suppressed cell calcium mobilization in the defective chemotactic responses to LTB(4). We noted that PMN chemotaxis to LTB(4) showed far more dependence on store-operated calcium entry than on the release of cellular calcium stores, and that store-operated calcium responses to BLT1 activation were markedly inhibited during the same time period as was chemotaxis. The intermittent release of inflammatory mediators after injury can blunt PMN responses to LTs by suppressing BLT1 as well as downstream calcium entry. Diminished LT receptor activity due to cross-talk with CXC receptors can inhibit PMN recruitment to infective sites. This may predispose injured patients to septic complications.

Targeted Disruption of the Leukotriene B4Receptor in Mice Reveals Its Role in Inflammation and Platelet-Activating Factor–Induced Anaphylaxis
Leukotrienes are derived from arachidonic acid and serve as mediators of inflammation and immediate hypersensitivity. Leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) and leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)) act through G protein-coupled receptors LTB(4) receptor (BLTR) and Cys-LTR, respectively. To investigate the physiological role of BLTR, we produced mice with a targeted disruption of the BLTR gene. Mice deficient for BLTR ...
متن کاملModulation of leukotriene B4 receptor-1 expression by dexamethasone: potential mechanism for enhanced neutrophil survival.
Glucocorticoids can down-regulate many inflammatory and immune responses and constitute a powerful therapeutic tool in a number of diseases. However, they have a somewhat paradoxical effect on neutrophils, in that they prolong their survival. Because leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) can also extend neutrophil survival, we proposed that glucocorticoids could prevent neutrophil apoptosis by up-regulatin...
متن کاملA Second Leukotriene B4 Receptor, Blt2
Leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) is a potent chemoattractant and activator of both granulocytes and macrophages. The actions of LTB(4) appear to be mediated by a specific G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) BLT1, originally termed BLT (Yokomizo, T., T. Izumi, K. Chang, Y. Takuwa, and T. Shimizu. 1997. Nature. 387:620-624). Here, we report the molecular cloning of a novel GPCR for LTB(4), designated BLT2...
متن کاملThe role of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in neutrophil migration and plasma exudation.
Neutrophil activation and migration during an inflammatory response is preceded or accompanied by plasma membrane electrical changes. Besides changes in calcium currents, neutrophils have a high permeability to potassium, mainly through potassium channels. However, the significance of potassium channels in neutrophil physiology is still unclear. Here, we show that the treatment of rats with the...

A sensitive gas chromatography-mass spectrometric method was used to measure the generation in whole blood of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent stimulator of neutrophil chemotaxis, in eight patients with chronic granulocytic leukaemia (CGL) and 12 healthy controls. LTB4 was detectable in unstimulated samples from all the patients (mean 194 (70 SEM) pg/ml), and the capacity for LTB4 production aft...
