PHAGOCYTES, GRANULOCYTES, AND MYELOPOIESIS Selective roles for antiapoptotic MCL-1 during granulocyte development and macrophage effector function
During hematopoiesis, myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL-1) mediates the survival of bone marrow progenitors and lymphocytes. However, its requirement during myeloid cell differentiation, development, and effector function is less clear. Lineage-specific deletion of MCL-1 in myeloid precursors results in neutropenia due to death during differentiation. The loss of mature neutrophils induced by Mcl-1 ...
متن کاملPHAGOCYTES, GRANULOCYTES, AND MYELOPOIESIS Complement alternative pathway acts as a positive feedback amplification of neutrophil activation
Complement alternative pathway plays an important, but not clearly understood, role in neutrophil-mediated diseases. We here show that neutrophils themselves activate complement when stimulated by cytokines or coagulation-derived factors. In whole blood, tumor necrosis factor/ formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine or phorbol myristate acetate resulted in C3 fragments binding on neutrophils and ...
متن کاملPHAGOCYTES, GRANULOCYTES, AND MYELOPOIESIS MyD88-dependent TLR4 signaling is selectively impaired in alveolar macrophages from asymptomatic HIV persons
Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the predominant effector cell in the lungs and contribute to a critical first line of defense against bacterial pathogens through recognition by pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). TLR4mediated tumor necrosis factor (TNF ) release is significantly impaired in HIV macrophages, but whether HIV impairs myeloid differentiation factor 88 ...
متن کاملPHAGOCYTES, GRANULOCYTES, AND MYELOPOIESIS STAT3 controls the neutrophil migratory response to CXCR2 ligands by direct activation of G-CSF–induced CXCR2 expression and via modulation of CXCR2 signal transduction
Neutrophil mobilization, the release of neutrophils from the bone marrow reserve into circulating blood, is important to increase peripheral neutrophil amounts during bacterial infections. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and chemokines, such as macrophageinflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2; CXCL2), can induce neutrophil mobilization, but the mechanism(s) they use remain unclear. Signal ...
متن کاملMutations in neutrophil elastase causing congenital neutropenia lead to cytoplasmic protein accumulation and induction of the unfolded protein response.
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) and cyclic neutropenia (CyN) are sporadic or inherited hematologic disorders of myelopoiesis. Heterozygous mutations in the gene encoding neutrophil elastase (ELA2) have been reported in both diseases. We used an inducible system to express a panel of ELA2 mutations and found for almost all mutants disruption of intracellular neutrophil elastase (HNE) protein...
