چکیده

Alveolar macrophages were treated with carbon blacks and adsorbates in order to evaluate the biologic effect of adsorbate, adsorbent and adsorbate-adsorbent complexes. Their capacity to phagocytize a subsequent challenge via the Fc-membrane receptor was quantified. Phagocytosis was suppressed in a dose-related manner with increasing concentrations of both carbon blacks and adsorbates. Carbon black N339 covered with 0.5 monolayers of the adsorbates suppressed phagocytosis more than N339 without the adsorbates. Increasing the adsorbate acrolein coverage from 0.5 to greater than 2.0 monolayers suppressed phagocytosis in a dose-related manner. Finally, samples of diesel particulate matter collected from an engine operated on a pure hydrocarbon fuel with various oxidizers, air (PSU #1) and an oxidizer free of nitrogen (N-free) were tested. Treatment of the macrophages with PSU #1 had a negligible effect on phagocytosis whereas the N-free sample suppressed phagocytosis in a dose-related manner. The data show that alveolar macrophage Fc-receptor-mediated phagocytosis is affected by: carbon black and adsorbate identity and concentration, coverage of the carbon black with adsorbates, and the oxidizer used in the generation of particles emitted by a diesel engine.

Suppression of alveolar macrophage membrane-receptor-mediated phagocytosis by model particle-adsorbate complexes: physicochemical moderators of uptake.

In order to assess the abilities of alveolar macrophages (AMs) to phagocytize adsorbent-adsorbate complexes, rat AMs were incubated in vitro with two carbon blacks that have 15-fold differences in specific surface areas (ASTM classification N339 less than Black Pearls 2000) sorbed with 0.5 and 1.0 monolayer coverages of a polar and semi-polar adsorbate (acrolein and benzofuran, respectively). O...

Studies on the mechanism of phagocytosis. I. Requirements for circumferential attachment of particle-bound ligands to specific receptors on the macrophage plasma membrane

These experiments were designed to evaluate the role of macrophage plasma membrane receptors for the third component of complement (C) and for the Fc portion of IgG in the ingestion phase of phagocytosis. Sheep erythrocyte (E) were coated with anti-E IgG [E(IgG)]; these E(IgG) were then attached to cultivated monolayers of mouse peritoneal macrophages under conditions which reversibly inhibit i...

Ascorbic acid pre-treated quartz stimulates TNF-α release in RAW 264.7 murine macrophages through ROS production and membrane lipid peroxidation

BACKGROUND Inhalation of crystalline silica induces a pulmonary fibrotic degeneration called silicosis caused by the inability of alveolar macrophages to dissolve the crystalline structure of phagocytosed quartz particles. Ascorbic acid is capable of partially dissolving quartz crystals, leading to an increase of soluble silica concentration and to the generation of new radical sites on the qua...

Clathrin-coated pit-associated proteins are required for alveolar macrophage phagocytosis.

During phagocytosis, phagocytic receptors and membrane material must be inserted in the pseudopod membrane as it extends over the phagocytic target. This may require a clathrin-mediated recycling mechanism similar to that postulated for leading edge formation during cell migration. To investigate this possibility, liposomes were used to deliver to intact rat alveolar macrophages (AMs): 1) Abs t...

Extruded erythroblast nuclei are bound and phagocytosed by a novel macrophage receptor.

Resident bone marrow macrophages (RBMM) play an important role in clearance of nuclei extruded from late-stage erythroblasts (Eb). To investigate the nature of macrophage receptors involved in this process, extruded erythroblast nuclei (EEN) were purified by cultivation of erythroblasts with erythropoietin, followed by density gradient centrifugation. By electron microscopy, the majority of fre...
