ABSTRACT

Rats were injected with rat recombinant (rr) IL3, rrSCF, rrIL-3+rrSCF, rrRANTES and LTB4. Six hours after subcutaneous injection of rrIL-3 or rrIL-3+rrSCF, there was an increase in mast cell numbers in the skin and spleen. Peritoneal mast cells were recruited following i.p. injection of rrIL-3, but with rrIL-3+rrSCF recruitment was delayed. Immunostaining with a mast cell specific antibody showed that immature orthochromatic mast cells were being recruited. rrIL-3 induced recruitment of mast cells to the peritoneal cavity was blocked by anti-integrin antibodies. Mast cell recruitment depended on the target tissue and the time of exposure to the chemoattractant.

ABSTRACT

Recent in vitro data have suggested that the flavonoid quercetin (1) does not affect the functioning of neutrophils. Therefore, we evaluated in vivo and in vitro whether or not 1 affects neutrophil function, focusing on recruitment. The in vivo treatment with 1 inhibited in a dose-dependent manner the recruitment of neutrophils to the peritoneal cavity of mice induced by known chemotatic factors such as CXCL1, CXCL5, LTB(4), and fMLP. Furthermore, 1 also inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner the chemoattraction of human neutrophils induced by CXCL8, LTB(4), and fMLP in a Boyden chamber. In vitro treatment with 1 did not affect human neutrophil surface expression of CXCR1, CXCR2, BLT1, or FLPR1, but rather reduced actin polymerization. These results suggest that 1 inhibits actin polymerization, hence, explaining the inhibition of neutrophil recruitment in vivo and in vitro and highlighting its possible usefulness to diminish excessive neutrophil migration during inflammation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a new member of the IL-1 family of cytokines which signals via its receptor, ST2 (IL-33R), and has an important role in Th2 and mast cell responses. This study shows that IL-33 orchestrates neutrophil migration in arthritis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Methylated bovine serum albumin (mBSA) challenge in the knee joint of mBSA-immunised mice induced local neutrophil migration accompanied by increased IL-33R and IL-33 mRNA expression. Cell migration was inhibited by systemic and local treatments with soluble (s)IL-33R, an IL-33 decoy receptor, and was not evident in IL-33R-deficient mice. IL-33 injection also induced IL-33R-dependent neutrophil migration. Antigen- and IL-33-induced neutrophil migration in the joint was dependent on CXCL1, CCL3, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and IL-1beta synthesis. Synovial tissue, macrophages and activated neutrophils expressed IL-33R. IL-33 induces neutrophil migration by activating macrophages to produce chemokines and cytokines and by directly acting on neutrophils. Importantly, neutrophils from patients with rheumatoid arthritis successfully treated with anti-TNFalpha antibody (infliximab) expressed significantly lower levels of IL-33R than patients treated with methotrexate alone. Only neutrophils from patients treated with methotrexate alone or from normal donors stimulated with TNFalpha responded to IL-33 in chemotaxis. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that suppression of IL-33R expression in neutrophils, preventing IL-33-induced neutrophil migration, may be an important mechanism of anti-TNFalpha therapy of inflammation.

ABSTRACT

Los modelos experimentales de asbestosis han demostrado que la respuesta inflamatoria inicial está mediada por macrófagos alveolares (MA). Aunque la atracción y acumulación de MA vistos en nuestros modelos está fundamentalmente mediada por el complemento, se ha sugerido la participación de otros factores quimiotácticos no bien caracterizados. En este trabajo, buscamos la presencia de factores quimiotácticos en ratas instiladas con asbesto en forma aguda. Demostramos morfoñlógicamente que el depósito de fibras, la respuesta macrofágica y las lesiones inducidas, son equivalentes a lo reportado en modelos por inhalación. Evaluamos la actividad quimiotáctica en el lavado broncoalveolar (LBA) fraccionado de acuerdo a su peso molecular (PM), y la presencia de albúmina y complemento. Encontramos actividad quimiotáctica en las fracciones del LBA correspondientes a picos de alto y bajo PM. La actividad del primer pico se atribuyó al complemento. La actividad del segundo, aumentó conforme al tiempo de exposición y no parece estar relacionada con complemento. Para identificar otros factores quimiotácticos diferentesa complemento, determinamos la presencia de factor de necrosis tumoral (TNFÿ) y fibronectina (FN) en los LBA no fraccionados. No se detectaron diferencias en la cantidad de TNF presente en los diferentes grupos. Observamos un incremento en la concentración de FN en relación al tiempo de exposición. Aunque la presencia de fracciones de FN pudiera explicar parcialmente el fenómeno quimiotáctico observado con el pico de bajo úPM, no podemos descartar la participación de otros factores no identificados

ABSTRACT

En la reacción asmática inmediata, la liberación de mediadores del mastocito, produce una alteración tisular limitada de corta duración (2 horas), controlable con Beta2 adrenérgicos o Teofilina y prevenible con cromoglicato o similares. Más de la mitad de los asmáticos tienen una respuesta tardía al factor provocador de la reacción, que alcanza su máxima intensidad unas ocho horas después y puede mantenerse durante varios días. A nivel de los tejidos se ha producido una infiltración celular, de neutrófilos y eosinófilos primero y células mononucleares luego. Este proceso se produce por acción de alergenos, infección viral o sustancias químicas y determina manifiesta hiperirritabilidad bronquial, siendo más afectada la pequeña vía aérea. Están involucrados en la inflamación del bronquio, mastocitos, basófilos, neutrófilos, eosinófilos, linfocitos, plaquetas y macrófagos-monocitos. Se liberan mediadores de origen celular, plasmático o neurógeno que provocan edema, contracción del músculo bronquial, hipersecreción mucosa con discrinia y quimiotaxis. PAF parece ocupar un lugar central entre los mediadores, su efecto es potente y prolongado y recluta plaquetas, neurotrófilos y eosinófilos en el pulmón. Todo esto contribuye al daño epitelial con pérdida de colgajos. Fibras nerviosas aferentes liberan SP y otros neuropéptidos localmente, contribuyen a la inflamación e interactúan con los otros mediadores. La terapéutica implica evitar la exposición a alergenos, inmunoterapia, esteroides, teofilina y cromoglicato o similares

ABSTRACT

Using Ficoll-Hypaque-separated cells, monocyte chemotaxis was measured by an agarose technique in patients with increased susceptibility to infection, with atopic dermatitis, and in individuals taking aspirin. In vitro effects of aspirin, hydrocortisone, aminophylline, ephedrine, and diphenhydramine were also studied. Significantly decreased chemotaxis was found in one 9- year-boy with severe mucocutaneous candidiasis and three of 22 patients with atopic dermatitis...
