چکیده

When macrophages and neutrophils are allowed to settle onto an appropriate surface, they attach and spread in a frustrated attempt to phagocytose the substrate. Spreading is associated with extensive rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton which resemble those occurring during phagocytosis. We have previously shown that spreading in human neutrophils is preceded by an increase in cytosolic-free calcium concentration [( Ca2+]i) (Kruskal, B. A., S. Shak, and F. R. Maxfield. 1986. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 83:2919-2923). To assess the generality of this signal, we measured [Ca2+]i in single thioglycollate-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages as they spread on an immune complex-coated surface, using fura-2 microspectrofluorometry. A [Ca2+]i increase always precedes spreading. This increase can involve several (up to 8) [Ca2+]i spikes, with an average peak value of 387 +/- 227 nM (mean +/- SD, n = 92 peaks in 24 cells), before spreading is detected. Neither spreading nor the magnitude of these spikes is significantly altered by removal of extracellular calcium. Many of the spreading macrophages exhibit periodic [Ca2+]i increases before and during spreading. The proportion which does so varies among experiments from 0 to 90%, but it is frequently greater than 40%. The largest number of cells (approximately 25%) exhibited only a single peak. In 13 cells that showed more than 10 peaks, the median period was 29 s (range 19-69 s). The average peak [Ca2+]i was 385 +/- 266 nM (mean +/- SD, n = 208 peaks in 14 cells). The calcium producing these increases is derived from intracellular pools. The oscillations occur with spreading on either opsonized or nonopsonized surfaces. The function of these oscillations is not clear, but the large number of cells which exhibit them suggest that they may be important to macrophage function.

Influence of extracellular magnesium on phagocytosis and free cytosolic Mg levels in differentiated U937 and MH-S cells.

BACKGROUND The influence of extracellular calcium on phagocytosis is limited, and the involvement of extracellular magnesium is unclear. AIMS The role of extracellular calcium and magnesium on phagocytosis efficiency was investigated. RESULTS Extracellular calcium had no influence on the internalization of 1 μm polystyrene particles by primary monocytes as has been shown before for the huma...

Ca(2+)-independent F-actin assembly and disassembly during Fc receptor- mediated phagocytosis in mouse macrophages

Phagocytosis of IgG-coated particles by macrophages is presumed to involve the actin-based cytoskeleton since F-actin accumulates beneath forming phagosomes, and particle engulfment is blocked by cytochalasins, drugs that inhibit actin filament assembly. However, it is unknown whether Fc receptor ligation affects the rate or extent of F-actin assembly during phagocytosis of IgG-coated particles...

Calcium spikes in activated macrophages during Fc receptormediated phagocytosis

Rises in intracellular-free calcium ([Ca ]i) have been variously associated with Fc receptor (FcR)-mediated phagocytosis in macrophages. We show here that activation of murine bone marrowderived macrophages increases calcium spiking after FcR ligation. Ratiometric fluorescence microscopy was used to measure [Ca ]i during phagocytosis of immunoglobulin G (IgG)-opsonized erythrocytes. Whereas 13%...

Background: Macrophages are one of the most important immune cells. Macrophages can be divided into two main subgroups of classical or inflammatory macrophages(M1) and alternative or non -inflammatory macrophages or (M2), due to different stimuli. One of the factors that causes the macrophage to orient towards M2, is the phagocytosis of apoptosis cells (efferocytosis). The phagocytosis of mesen...

Intracellular Pattern of Cytosolic Ca” Changes During Adhesion and Multiple Phagocytosis in Human Neutrophils. Dynamics of Intracellular Ca2+ Stores

The subcellular pattern of cytosolic free Caz+ ([Caz+li) changes in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) was studied using imaging of fura-2 fluorescence (time resolution 12.5 ratiosls) to determine whether PMNs could obtain directional information from the [Ca2+li signal. [Ca2+li changes were observed during initial adherence, the subsequent chemotactic movement, and the phagocytosis ...
