Quantification and comparison of TLR2 activity in monocyte-derived macrophages of zebu and crossbred cattle
The present study was conducted to quantify and compare TLR2 (toll-like receptor 2) activity in monocyte-derived macrophages of zebu (Tharparkar) and crossbred (Holstein-Friesian × Jersey × Brown Swiss × Hariana) cattle. The cells were either induced with Pam3CSK4 or kept as control. The TLR2 activity was quantified in terms of IκB-α inhibitory subunit (NFKBIA) messenger RNA (mRNA) copies...
متن کاملP2Z adenosine triphosphate receptor activity in cultured human monocyte-derived macrophages.
The present study shows that human mononuclear phagocytes express a P2Z-like purinergic membrane receptor activity. Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) induces the formation of nonselective membrane pores in human mononuclear phagocytes that allow the entry of otherwise membrane impermeant fluorescent dyes (YO-PRO-1 or Lucifer yellow) into the cytoplasm of these cells. The percentage of ...
متن کاملCYCLIC NUCLEOTIDES CONTROL DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN MONOCYTES INTO EITHER HIGHLY ACCESSORY CELLS OR MACROPHAGES
Human peripheral blood monocytes have been found to undergo a transitory state of high accessory activity before they fully become macrophages. Time kinetics were done to follow this accessory potential. Studying the regulation of accessory activity, we have found that monocyte derived accessory cells (m-AC) pass through two phases of development, both of which are adversely controlled by ...
متن کاملRAPID COMMUNICATION Prostaglandin E2 Induces Resistance to Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 Infection in Monocyte-Derived Macrophages: Downregulation of CCR5 Expression by Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate
The chemokine receptor CCR5 can function as a coreceptor for human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) entry into CD41 T cells and macrophages, especially during the early stages of HIV-1 infection. The regulation of CCR5 expression may affect not only leukocyte migration, but also infectivity by HIV-1 and, therefore, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) pathogenesis. We report here that agen...
متن کاملDIFFERENTIATION OF MONOCYTE DERIVED DENDRITIC CELLS IN SERUM FREE CONDITIONS
Human peripheral blood monocytes (HPBM) were cultured in the absence of human serum and were converted into a state exhibiting a high accessory function expressed by their ability of supporting lymphocyte proliferation. After a prolonged culture in serum free media the monocyte derived cells were highly viable, increased in size and developed veils and dendritiform elongatio'l1s. Paralleli...
