Phagocytosis is an important factor in the defense of the host against all kinds of microorganisms. The process of phagocytosis of microorganisms by phagocytes can be separated into distinct but interrelated phases: adherence, chemotaxis, opsonization, attachment, ingestion, degranulation and killing. Phagocytosis is accompanied by an increase in oxygen metabolism in which H2O2 and activated oxygen species are generated. Modulation of phagocytic cell function can be brought about by a variety of substances. Microorganisms produce and contain components which influence the process of phagocytosis. Surrounding tissue cells and the phagocytes themselves produce biologically active molecules that modulate phagocytosis. 相似文献

Canine parvoviral enteritis (CPE) is a severe disease characterized by systemic inflammation and immunosuppression. The function of circulating phagocytes (neutrophils and monocytes) in affected dogs has not been fully investigated. We characterized the functional capacity of canine phagocytes in CPE by determining their oxidative burst and phagocytic activities using flow cytometry. Blood was collected from 28 dogs with CPE and 11 healthy, age-matched, control dogs. Oxidative burst activity was assessed by stimulating phagocytes with opsonized Escherichia coli or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and measuring the percentage of phagocytes producing reactive oxygen species and the magnitude of this production. Phagocytosis was measured by incubating phagocytes with opsonized E. coli and measuring the percentage of phagocytes containing E. coli and the number of bacteria per cell. Complete blood counts and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were also determined. Serum CRP concentration was negatively and positively correlated with segmented and band neutrophil concentrations, respectively. Overall, no differences in phagocyte function were found between dogs with CPE and healthy control dogs. However, infected dogs with neutropenia or circulating band neutrophils had decreased PMA-stimulated oxidative burst activity compared to healthy controls. Additionally, CPE dogs with neutropenia or circulating band neutrophils had decreased PMA- and E. coli–stimulated oxidative burst activity and decreased phagocytosis of E. coli compared to CPE dogs without neutropenia or band neutrophils. We conclude that phagocytes have decreased oxidative burst and phagocytic activity in neutropenic CPE dogs and in CPE dogs with circulating band neutrophils. 相似文献

There were fewer efficient phagocytes among leukocytes collected from artificially irritated mammary glands than among the leukocytes from blood of the same animals. The milk polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes adhered poorly to a column of siliconised glass beads when compared with the blood cells. However, investigations of the O2 uptake and CO2 production of the milk PMN leukocytes revealed that these cells appeared to utilize metabolic pathways similar to those used by human and guinea pig PMN leukocytes during phagocytosis. These pathways are associated with degranulation and the production of H2O2 following particle ingestion. It is therefore suggested that the milk PMN leukocytes appear not to have lost the ability to produce this bactericidal substance. 相似文献

Abstract Phagocytosis of zymosan A particles by hemocytes of eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica stimulates the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are easily quantified by luminol-augmented chemiluminescence (CL). Antimicrobial defense mechanisms of hemocytes may involve the activity of cytotoxic ROS. The CL response to phagocytosis of zymosan by hemocytes from C. virginica with advanced Perkinsus marinus infections is more elevated than that produced by zymosan in cells from uninfected oysters. This effect is perhaps akin to macrophage activation. Phagocytosis of P. marinus cells by hemocytes withdrawn from uninfected oysters produced no detectable CL response. Hemocytes withdrawn from oysters with P. marinus infections ranging from light to heavy were evaluated for CL responses after phagocytosis of zymosan or P. marinus. Increases in CL stimulation by zymosan were seen as the intensity of infection increased. Despite avid phagocytosis of P. marinus, CL activity of the hemocytes was not seen, regardless of the level of infection of the host. Lack of hemocytic ROS stimulation by ingestion of P. marinus cells may contribute to in vivo survival of this parasite. 相似文献

Phagocytosis of Bacteroides nodosus by ovine peripheral blood leucocytes (PBL) was examined after organisms had been opsonized in sera from normal sheep, or from animals immune to, or infected with ovine footrot. Ingestion of bacteria, as assessed microscopically or by counting isotopically-labelled organisms spectrometrically was effected in suspensions by polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN). Opsonization of bacteria in immune serum, particularly its IgG2 isotype, enhanced the rate of phagocytosis by PMN compared with that promoted by normal serum or medium alone. Whereas IgG2 from immune serum also increased the rate of ingestion of B. nodosus by adherent PMN, IgM and IgG1 from immune serum also initiated phagocytosis of bacteria by adherent ovine monocytes. Leucocytes from normal, immune or infected sheep of different breeds ingested B. nodosus with equal facility. 相似文献

Haemophilus parasuis is a colonizer of the upper respiratory tract of healthy pigs, but virulent strains can cause a systemic infection characterized by fibrinous polyserositis, commonly known as Glässer’s disease. The variability in virulence that is observed among H. parasuis strains is not completely understood, since the virulence mechanisms of H. parasuis are largely unknown. In the course of infection, H. parasuis has to survive the host pulmonary defences, which include alveolar macrophages, to produce disease. Using strains from different clinical backgrounds, we were able to detect clear differences in susceptibility to phagocytosis. Strains isolated from the nose of healthy animals were efficiently phagocytosed by porcine alveolar macrophages (PAM), while strains isolated from systemic lesions were resistant to this interaction. Phagocytosis of susceptible strains proceeded through mechanisms independent of a specific receptor, which involved actin filaments and microtubules. In all the systemic strains tested in this study, we observed a distinct capsule after interaction with PAM, indicating a role of this surface structure in phagocytosis resistance. However, additional mechanisms of resistance to phagocytosis should be explored, since we detected different effects of microtubule inhibition among systemic strains. 相似文献

Summary A review is presented of the phagocytosis and intracellular killing of Staphylococcus aureus by polymorphonuclear and mononuclear leukocytes. Recruitment of adequate numbers of leukocytes to the site of infection occurs through the process of chemotaxis. Recognition of invading staphylococci by the phagocytic cells is mediated through bacterial opsonization. Both processess depend upon the activation of the heat‐labile complement system which generates the majority of chemotactic (C5a) and opsonic (C3b) molecules for S. aureus phagocytosis. The key role of peptidoglycan in the cell wall of staphylococci in these events is stressed. Attachment and ingestion of opsonized staphylococci occurs via poorly‐defined receptors for opsonins in the membrane of the leukocyte. The greater phagocytic capacity of neutrophils as compared to monocytes is not reflected in differences in their membrane receptors for staphylococcal opsonins. Once ingested, staphylococci are rapidly destroyed by oxygen‐dependent and oxygen‐independent bactericidal mechanisms of the phagocytes. Small numbers of S. aureus may survive within the leukocyte. Special attention is focused on the numerous ways S. aureus is able to hinder, evade, and directly damage the phagocytic defense mechanisms of the host. 相似文献

Conglutinin is a high molecular-weight lectin originally detected in bovine serum. It belongs to the family of collectins that bind sugar residues in a Ca2+-dependent manner and are effector molecules in innate immunity. Conglutinin appears to play an important role in immune defense mechanisms, showing antiviral and antibacterial activities when tested in vivo and in vitro. The present study evaluated the effect of conglutinin on the respiratory bursts in bovine peripheral phagocytes. Using nitroblue tetrazolium and hydrogen peroxide assays, we showed that sugar ligand-bound conglutinin stimulated the production of superoxide and H2O2 in granulocytes whereas the non-sugar-bound form of conglutinin inhibited these processes. These results indicate that both forms of conglutinin are able to interact with surface leukocyte receptors but have opposite effects on phagocytic activity. Our findings suggest that conglutinin bound to sugar residues on microbial surfaces can induce oxygen burst in phagocytes, and thereby mediates the elimination of pathogens and prevents the spread of infection. 相似文献

We have previously shown that polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are present in bovine oviduct fluid under physiological
conditions, and that the oviduct provides a microenvironment that protects sperm from phagocytosis by PMNs. Alpha 1-acid
glycoprotein (AGP) is a major acute-phase protein produced mainly in the liver that has immunomodulatory functions. AGP mRNA
is expressed in extrahepatic organs, such as the lung, kidney, spleen, lymph node, uterus, and ovary. Therefore, in this
study, we investigated, 1) the local production of AGP in the bovine oviduct, 2) the effect of AGP on the phagocytic activity
of PMNs for sperm and superoxide production and 3) the impact of AGP desialylation on the PMN phagocytosis of sperm. The AGP
gene was expressed in cultured bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOECs) and AGP protein was detected in oviduct fluid.
Preexposure of PMNs to AGP at physiological levels impaired PMN phagocytosis for sperm and superoxide generation. The
desialylation of AGP eliminated these suppressive effects of AGP on PMN. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that AGP
drastically reduced the formation of DNA-based neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) for sperm entanglement. Additionally,
AGP dose-dependently stimulated BOECs to produce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) which has been shown to
partially contribute to the regulation of sperm phagocytosis in the bovine oviduct. AGP and PGE2 at concentrations
detected in the oviducts additively suppressed sperm phagocytosis by PMNs. These results provide evidence that locally
produced AGP may be involved in protecting sperm from phagocytosis by PMNs in the bovine oviduct. 相似文献

Objective: To determine the effect of bilateral nasal oxygen supplementation on tracheal airway and arterial blood gas parameters. Design: Original research. Setting: Research Laboratory. Animals: Eight normal dogs. Interventions: None. Measurements: Intra‐tracheal oxygen concentration and arterial oxygen partial pressure at three different oxygen flow rates given through either unilateral or bilateral nasal catheters. Main results: FIO2 and PaO2 were significantly increased with higher total oxygen flow rates, but the increase was the same whether the higher flow was delivered through one nasal catheter or divided and administered though two nasal catheters. The use of bilateral nasal catheters allowed a tracheal FIO2 as high as 0.60 with minimal patient discomfort. Conclusions: The benefit of bilateral nasal catheters for oxygen supplementation is the ability to provide high total oxygen flows with decreased risk of patient discomfort. If the desired oxygen flow can be achieved with a unilateral nasal catheter, then the only benefit of bilateral catheters is increased patient comfort. The use of bilateral nasal oxygen catheters for oxygen supplementation can result in an FIO2 that is high enough to produce oxygen toxicity with prolonged administration. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to determine the mechanism of cytosolic calcium ion concentration [Ca2+]i elevation in chicken and rat phagocytes stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), leukotriene B4 (LTB4), formyl‐methionyl‐leucyl‐phenylananine (fMLP) and Saccaromyces cerevisiae culture supernatant (SCS). Pretreatment with EGTA completely suppressed the PMA‐induced [Ca2+]i elevation in rat and chicken phagocytes, suggesting that all the [Ca2+]i elevation induced in the PMA‐stimulated rat and chicken phagocytes was attributable to the influx of extracellular Ca2+. On the other hand, the elevation of LTB4‐, FMLP‐ and SCS‐induced [Ca2+]i was only partially suppressed by ethyleneglycol‐bis (β‐aminoethyl)‐N,N,N′,N′‐tetraacetic acid ethylene (EGTA) pretreatment of phagocytes. The results indicated that two pathways of [Ca2+]i elevation, recruitment from the intracellular Ca2+ store and influx of extracellular Ca2+, are involved in the [Ca2+]i elevation of LTB4‐, fMLP‐ and SCS‐stimulated phagocytes. In fMLP‐stimulated rat neutrophils, [Ca2+]i elevation showed a two‐phase pattern in which the time lag between the first and second phase was approximately 1 min. The EGTA treatment of the fMLP‐stimulated cells induced a reduction of the first phase level and a disappearance of the second phase. The reason for the special influence of EGTA observed in fMLP‐stimulated cells is unknown, but the disappearance of the second phase of the [Ca2+]i may be elicited by the EGTA‐induced decrease of the first phase [Ca2+]i elevation that depends on IP3 and diacylglycerol induced by fMLP. 相似文献

The effect of recombinant bovine interferon-gamma on intramammary phagocyte function of mammary gland was studied in 4 Holstein cows (Study 1) and 7 Holstein cows (Study 2). Recombinant bovine interferon-gamma was intramammarily infused on day 6 of the dry period and phagocytes were collected from lacteal secretions and tested in vitro 24 hours later. Results from Study 1 indicate that phagocytosis of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was significantly increased after than before interferon treatment. Similarly, the number of bacteria killed/active phagocyte was enhanced by treatment. Results from Study 2 suggested a trend towards increased production of oxygen dependent bactericidal components and increased killing ability by phagocytes exposed to interferon as compared to control phagocytes. These results from both studies suggest that intramammary infusions of bovine interferon-gamma can stimulate phagocyte function during the early phase of the dry period. 相似文献

Phagocytosis exerted by alveolar macrophages and neutrophils is crucial in the clearance of exogenous particles deposited in the airways. Therefore, substances that activate these phagocytes in the airways can exert important effects on the particle clearance rate. PAF, particularly, was proved to be a potent activator of several immune cells and was shown to be present in the equine lower airways in specific conditions, such as after exercise. The present study aimed to investigate if PAF is able to increase the phagocytic capacity and the production of superoxide anion in equine alveolar macrophage and blood neutrophils. The results show that PAF increased these parameters in both phagocytes even in concentrations as low as 0.1 and 1.0 nM. On that ground, the present work suggests that PAF is involved in the process of particle clearance in equine lower airways. 相似文献

Intradermal vaccination of rats with heat-killed Salmonella dublin protected against an intraperitoneal challenge of live S dublin. Serum from vaccinated animals administered intraperitoneally protected normal rats against intraperitoneal challenge with S dublin and four other serotypes. Protection was attributed to opsonic antibodies which promoted phagocytosis by mononuclear phagocytes. The opsonin was identified as IgG2a which prevented lysis of macrophages and enabled them to contain the pathogen at the site of infection. In vitro, mononuclear phagocytes killed S dublin for up to two hours after phagocytosis in the presence of immune rat serum. 相似文献

The number and function of bovine mammary-gland phagocytes were assessed in 8 lactating cows, each tested at least twice within an 8-mo period (total number of observations, 20). Macrophages and polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells were evaluated by conventional cytology, flow cytometry, fluorescent microscopy, and somatic-cell count (SCC). Phagocytosis was evaluated from the uptake of fluorescent beads and expressed as median fluorescence intensity (MFI). Two major subpopulations of phagocytes, of low or high MFI (LFI or HFI), were observed, and there were up to 4 sub-subpopulations within the HFI subpopulation of both macrophages and PMN cells. Fluorescent microscopy identified phagocytes containing up to 4 beads per cell. Cows showing ≤ 72.3% phagocytes by cytology were regarded as non-mastitic (11 observations), and those showing ≥ 80.7% phagocytes were considered to be mastitic (8 observations). Phagocyte MFI was negatively associated with mastitis; that is, the higher the MFI, the lower the SCC. The percentage of HFI PMN cells was the only indicator of mastitis with 100% sensitivity and specificity. Thus, bovine mammary-gland phagocytes consist of several subpopulations of different phagocytic ability, whose assessment more adequately predicts bovine mastitis than do morphologic indicators. 相似文献

Phagocytosis and intracellular killing by bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) are important host defence mechanisms against mastitis caused by Staphlylococcus aureus. We compared the phagocytosis and overall killing of a non slime-producing (NSP) S. aureus and its slime-producing (SP) variant by blood PMN, using an in vitro bacteriological assay. Seven clinically healthy Holstein-Friesian dairy cows in mid-lactation stage were used for this purpose. The percentages of overall killing for the NSP and SP variant were 34+/-3% and 21+/-4% (P < 0.05) and the corresponding percentages of phagocytosis were 40+/-4% and 31+/-4%, respectively. A significant positive correlation (r = 0.79; P < 0.001) was found between phagocytosis and overall killing. These results suggest that the presence of slime was responsible for a decreased phagocytic ingestion and overall killing. 相似文献

ObjectiveTramadol is a commonly used opioid analgesic in dogs, particularly in dogs with a compromised immune system. An opioid may be selected for its immunomodulatory effects. Consequently, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of tramadol on immune system function by evaluating the effect of tramadol and o-desmethyltramadol (M1) on the function of canine leukocytes in vitro. The hypothesis was that tramadol and M1 would not alter polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) phagocytosis, PMN oxidative burst, or stimulated leukocyte cytokine production capacity of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10.Study designIn vitro pharmacodynamic study.AnimalsSix healthy dogs.MethodsBlood from six dogs was obtained and incubated with various concentrations of tramadol and M1. Phagocytosis and oxidative burst were assessed using flow cytometry, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and peptidoglycan (PG)-stimulated leukocyte production of TNF, IL-6, and IL-10 were measured using a canine specific multiplex assay.ResultsNo differences were detected in phagocytosis or oxidative burst with any drug concentration. Tramadol did not alter leukocyte cytokine production, however, M1 significantly blunted IL-10 production.ConclusionsTramadol and its metabolite M1 were sparing to PMN phagocytosis and oxidative burst in dogs in vitro. Tramadol did not alter leukocyte cytokine production, however, M1 blunted IL-10 production at clinically achievable concentrations suggesting that M1 may promote a proinflammatory shift.Clinical relevanceThese data suggest that tramadol has minimal effect on phagocytosis and oxidative burst, and may promote a proinflammatory shift. Therefore, tramadol may be an ideal opioid analgesic in dogs at high risk of infection. Further investigation in vivo is warranted. 相似文献
