Neutrophil chemiluminescence during phagocytosis is inhibited by abnormally elevated levels of acetoacetate: implications for diabetic susceptibility to infections.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human neutrophils by a chemiluminescence assay exhibit diminished phagocytic activity in the presence of abnormally high levels of the serum metabolite acetoacetate. These findings, along with our previous evidence demonstrating myeloperoxidase inhibition by acetoacetate, implicate metabolic ketosis in the inhibition of neutrophil microbicidal activity and thus in increased susceptibility to infections.

The in vitro effects of Newcastle disease virus on the metabolic and antibacterial functions of human neutrophils.
Live Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was used to investigate the in vitro effects of a viral infection on phagocytosis, chemiluminescence generation, superoxide production, oxygen consumption, NADPH-oxidase activity, and intracellular killing of bacteria by Ficoll-Hypaque separated human neutrophils. Phagocytosis of oil red O particles by NDV-treated PMN was inhibited by 50%. Chemiluminescence by...
متن کاملHypochlorous acid inhibition by acetoacetate: implications on neutrophil functions.
Type-1 diabetic patients experience hyperketonemia caused by an increase in fatty acid metabolism. Thus, the aim of this study was to measure the effect of ketone bodies as suppressors of oxidizing species produced by stimulated neutrophils. Both acetoacetate and 3-hydroxybutyrate have suppressive effect on the respiratory burst measured by luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence. Through measuremen...
متن کاملInteraction of Candida albicans with neutrophils: effect of phenotypic changes in yeast cell-surface composition.
The susceptibility of four strains of Candida albicans to phagocytosis and intracellular killing by rabbit peritoneal neutrophils was investigated. Two of the strains, isolated from active infections, were known to synthesize a surface layer of mannoprotein fibrils in response to growth on 500 mm-galactose; the other strains, from asymptomatic carriers, lacked this capability. The presence of s...
متن کاملDifferential response of human monocytes to Neisseria gonorrhoeae variants expressing pili and opacity proteins.
Experiments in vitro suggest that Neisseria gonorrhoeae surface variation plays a key role in gonococcal pathogenesis by providing the appropriate bacterial phenotypes to go through different stages of the infection. Here we report on the effects of phase and antigen variation of two major gonococcal adhesins, pili and opacity (Opa) outer membrane proteins, on the interaction of the gonococci w...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF SERUM OPSONIC CAPACITY AGAINST BORDETELLA PERTUSSIS BY CHEMILUMINESCENCE
Serum opsonic capacity against B. pertussis was studied by using quantitative chemiluminescence (CL), a method known to have several advantages over conventional methods in evaluating opsonization and phagocytosis. Sera from unvaccinated infants was shown not to contain opsonins against B. pertussis and in unvaccinated infants suffering from whooping cough, no opsonins were detected. In ad...
