Neutrophils under tension.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An article by Houk et al. (2012) in Cell provides insight into the mechanisms confining membrane protrusions to the front of migrating neutrophils. The authors rule out a role for diffusion of inhibitory signals and show that membrane tension is necessary and sufficient to restrict signals that lead to protrusions.

Effects of oxygen tension and pH on the respiratory burst of human neutrophils.
The respiratory burst of human neutrophils was measured under conditions of hypoxia and low pH. O2 -- production by neutrophils activated with opsonized zymosan fell slowly as the oxygen concentration declined to 1%, then dropped more sharply, reaching negligible levels at oxygen concentrations less than 0.25%. Production was half maximal at an oxygen concentration of 0.35% (equivalent to appro...
متن کاملEffects of reactive oxygen species and neutrophils on endothelium-dependent relaxation of rat thoracic aorta
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in different metabolic processes including the respiratory burst of neutrophils accompanying local inflammation. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)-activated neutrophils, isolated from the guinea pig peritoneal cavity, on isolated rings of a large (conduit) artery, the rat thoracic aorta. ...
متن کاملProducts of neutrophils and eosinophils increase the responsiveness of human isolated bronchial tissue.
This study examines the possibility that products of neutrophils and eosinophils could increase the responsiveness of human isolated bronchial tissue. Neutrophils and eosinophils were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy volunteers. The cells were incubated with 1 microM calcium ionophore A23187 for 10-15 min then centrifuged, the supernatant collected and stored at -70 degrees C. Huma...
متن کاملEffect of salicylic acid and humic acid on some physiological characteristics and yield of forage maize (Zea mays L.) under drought tension conditions
In order to investigate the effect of salicylic acid and humic acid to mitigate the impact of drought tension during pollination of forage maize, the present experiment was conducted as split plots based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications at Isfahan University of Technology. Drought tension levels included: without tension (control), mild tension (75 percent crop capa...
