چکیده

The increase of alveolar macrophages in jaagsiekte sheep lungs is not caused by excessive surfactant production but is due to a chemotactic factor secreted by the tumor cells. This factor has a molecular mass in the region of 13 kilodaltons, is stable at 56 degrees C but labile at 100 degrees C and, being sensitive to proteases, indicates that it is a small protein molecule.

Demonstration of growth-inhibitory as well as growth-stimulatory factors in medium conditioned by lung lavage cells stimulated with a chemotactic factor secreted by jaagsiekte tumour cells.

Both growth-inhibitory and growth-stimulatory factors were detected in vitro in medium from chemotactically stimulated cultures of lung lavage cells. The macrophage component of the lavage cells was found to produce a growth stimulatory factor that was replaced by a growth inhibitory factor following chemotactic factor stimulation.

Tumour related inhibition of macrophage chemotaxis in patients with colon cancer.

The chemotactic migration in vitro of peripheral blood, intestinal mucosal, and mesenteric lymph node mononuclear cells has been assessed in patients with colorectal carcinoma. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients exhibited normal chemotaxis. For control patients with non-malignant, non-inflammatory intestinal disease, the chemotaxis of mucosal mononuclear cells was similar to that of...

Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 in the follicle of the menstrual and IVF cycle.

Ovulation constitutes an inflammatory-like process, with macrophages migrating into the follicle. This study evaluates the production of two macrophage-specific chemokines, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha), in the human follicle at ovulation. Blood samples, follicular fluids and follicular cells were collected during menstrual and IV...

Chemokine receptors and chemokine production by CD34+ stem cell-derived monocytes in response to cancer cells.

BACKGROUND The chemokine-chemokine receptor (CR) network is involved in the regulation of cellular infiltration of tumours. Cancer cells and infiltrating macrophages produce a whole range of chemokines. This study explored the expression of some CR and chemokine production by cord blood stem cell-derived CD34(+) monocytes and their novel CD14(++)CD16(+) and CD14(+)CD16(-) subsets in response to...

 Adenylyl cyclase is a membrane-bound enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cAMP. The inhibition of adenylyl cyclase was carried out by measuring the ability of the macrophage chemotactic protein-1 to inhibit the forskolin-induced enzyme activity. Measurement of adenylyl cyclase activity was performed according to the procedure described by Wiegn.  Adenylyl cyclase activity in the pres...
