Annexin 1 and the biology of the neutrophil.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This overview will focus on one aspect of neutrophil biology, which is the selective activation of the annexin 1 system in relation to the process of cell extravasation. Besides the current view about the biochemistry of annexin 1 and annexin 1 receptor(s) up-regulation within the microenvironment of the adherent neutrophils, we will also comment on the final result achieved by activation of the system, which is inhibition of neutrophil recruitment. In view of the historical link between annexin 1 and glucocorticoids, the potential for the annexin 1 system in mediating at least some of the anti-inflammatory actions of these powerful drugs is also discussed.

Background: Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells in humans. Recently, a novel strategy called the formation neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) was described. NETs is a new strategy for pathogen response. This study focused on whether LPS induced NETs release in vitro in the HL60 cell line. Methods: In this study, the HL60 cell line was used for culture and DMSO for induction ...

The ability of platelets to provide a highly reactive surface for the recruitment of other platelets and leukocytes to sites of vascular injury is critical for hemostasis, atherothrombosis, and a variety of inflammatory diseases. The mechanisms coordinating platelet-platelet and plateletleukocyte interactions have been well defined and, in general, it is assumed that increased platelet activati...
