Activation of the neutrophil nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase by galectin-1.

چکیده
Galectins are a group of lactose-binding proteins widely distributed in nature. Twelve mammalian galectins have so far been identified, but their functions are to a large extent unknown. In this work we study galectin-1 in its interaction with human neutrophils, with regard to both cell surface binding and activation of the superoxide-producing NADPH-oxidase. We show that galectin-1 is able to activate the neutrophil NADPH-oxidase, provided that the cells have been primed by extravasation from the blood into the tissue, an activation pattern that is similar to that of galectin-3. Using in vitro priming protocols, the galectin-1 responsiveness was found to correlate to granule mobilization and galectin-1 binding to the cells, suggesting the presence of granule-localized receptors that are up-regulated to the cell surface upon priming. By galectin-1 overlay of fractionated neutrophils we identified potential galectin-1 receptor candidates localized in the membranes of the secretory vesicle and gelatinase granules. The binding of galectin-1 and galectin-3 to neutrophil proteins was compared, as were the dose dependencies for activation by the two lectins. The results suggest that, although similarities are found between the two galectins, they appear to activate the NADPH-oxidase using different receptors. In conclusion, galectin-1 appears to have proinflammatory functions, mediated through activation of the neutrophil respiratory burst.

Verifying of Participation of Nitric Oxide in Morphine Place Conditioning in the Rat Medial Septum Using Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate-Diaphorase (NADPH-d)
Background: Role of nitric oxide (NO) in morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) has already been proposed in the rat medial septum (MS), but no molecular evidence has been provided to clear this fact. Methods: Effects of intraseptal injections of L-arginine and/or NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on morphine place conditioning in Wistar rats were examined. Morphine (2.5-7....

Endotoxin in vitro interactions with human neutrophils: depression of chemiluminescence, oxygen consumption, superoxide production, and killing.
Endotoxin was shown to depress neutrophil bactericidal activity while enhancing Nitro Blue Tetrazolium reduction and hexose monophosphate shunt activity. Separation of bactericidal action from oxidative metabolism suggests that the effect of endotoxin might involve the formation of reactive oxygen radicals such as superoxide. Chemiluminescence often accompanies metabolic activation of polymorph...
متن کاملMice lacking reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase activity show increased susceptibility to early infection with Listeria monocytogenes.
Mice lacking the gp91 protein of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase showed heightened susceptibility to Listeria infection. The enhanced susceptibility was noted 2 days after infection, the usual peak time of the neutrophil-dependent lesion in the liver. Infected gp91phox -/- mice had an increase of approximately 30-fold in Listeria in the liver and an increase in the n...

In this issue of Blood, Zhang et al show that mice lacking the stromal-interacting molecule 1 (STIM1) gene in bone marrow cells are more susceptible to bacterial infection but are resistant to ischemia/reperfusion injury because of defective activation of phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase.
