Lipopolysaccharide and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor delay neutrophil apoptosis and ingestion by guinea pig macrophages.

چکیده
In previous studies, neutrophil-ingesting macrophages were clearly and easily observed in the peritoneal cavity of guinea pigs after intraperitoneal injection of thioglycolate medium, and phagocytosis of neutrophils by macrophages could be detected in in vitro cultures of peritoneal exudate cells. Using an in vitro system, we examined the effect of bacterial lipopolysaccharide and recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor on the apoptosis (programmed cell death) of neutrophils and their subsequent ingestion by macrophages. Lipopolysaccharide delayed karyopyknosis and apoptosis of neutrophils, as shown by endogenous endonuclease activity and a high proportion of trypan blue-excluding cells, and subsequent ingestion by autologous macrophages. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor also delayed neutrophil karyopyknosis and ingestion by macrophages. When a thioglycolate medium was coinjected intraperitoneally with lipopolysaccharide into guinea pigs in the in vivo system, delays in neutrophil disappearance and ingestion by macrophages in the peritoneal cavity were also observed. We suggest that bacterial products and cytokines regulate neutrophil apoptosis and subsequent ingestion by macrophages at inflamed sites.

STUDIES ON THE TISSUE SPECIFICITY OF COLONY STIMULATING FACTOR
In this study granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF) was prepared from rabbit and guinea pig lung tissues. The biological activity of these CSFs was measured on semisolid agar culture and compared with those of mouse and rat. Weight of animals, incubation time and cross-reactivity of CSFs with different bone marrow sources were also investigated. The results showed that both...
متن کاملTHE ROLE OF ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES IN THE PRODUCTION OF COLONY –STIMULATING FACTOR BY THE LUNG
The role of alveolar macrophages in the production of granulocyte/ macrophage colony-stimulating factor(s) by the rat lung was investigated. Lavaged lungs, when incubated at proper weight per volume of culture medium, produced the same amount of colony-stimulating factor as unlavaged ones. Both lavaged and unlavaged lungs produced similar types of colony-stimulating factor (s). Prolonged i...
متن کاملInhibition of apoptosis and prolongation of neutrophil functional longevity by inflammatory mediators.
Neutrophil apoptosis leads to macrophage ingestion of intact senescent neutrophils. This may represent a neutrophil removal mechanism that is important both in the control of inflammatory tissue injury and for the normal resolution processes of inflammation. Because apoptosis is likely to be a key control process in cell and tissue homeostasis, a number of inflammatory mediators were tested for...
متن کاملMcl-1 expression in human neutrophils: regulation by cytokines and correlation with cell survival.
Human neutrophils possess a very short half-life because they constitutively undergo apoptosis. Cytokines, such as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and other agents can rescue neutrophils from apoptosis but the molecular mechanisms involved in this rescue are undefined. Here, we show by Western blotting that human neutrophils do not express Bcl-2 or Bcl-X but constitut...
متن کاملCytokine-activated Endothelial Cells Delay Neutrophil Apoptosis In Vitro and In Vivo: A Role for Granulocyte/Macrophage Colony-stimulating Factor
The activation of endothelium is important in recruiting neutrophils to sites of inflammation and in modulating their function. We demonstrate that conditioned medium from cultured, activated endothelial cells acts to significantly delay the constitutive apoptosis of neutrophils, resulting in their enhanced survival and increased phagocytic function. The antiapoptotic activity is, in part, attr...
