Yagi H, Fujihara C, Murakami S. Effects of oxidative stress-induced increases in Zn 2+ concentrations in human gingival epithelial cells. J Periodontal Res 2021; 56:512-522. [PMID: 33641168 DOI: 10.1111/jre.12851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Revised: 11/25/2020] [Accepted: 01/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Previous studies have reported that oxidative stress increases intracellular Zn2+ concentrations and induces cytotoxicity. However, no studies have investigated whether oxidative stress induces such changes in periodontal tissue cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of oxidative stress on intracellular Zn2+ concentration in periodontium constituent cells and its potential relationship with periodontal disease. METHODS We analyzed changes in intracellular Zn2+ concentrations in human gingival epithelial (epi4) cells treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). The fluorescent probes FluoZin-3 AM and CellTracker Green CMFDA were used to detect intracellular Zn2+ and thiol groups, respectively. Western blot analyses, luciferase reporter assays, and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses were performed to examine the effect of intracellular Zn2+ on epi4 cells. RESULTS H2 O2 treatment increased intracellular concentrations of Zn2+ in epi4 cells by facilitating the movement of Zn2+ from cellular nonprotein thiols to the cytoplasm and promoting cell membrane permeability to Zn2+ . Furthermore, H2 O2 -induced increases in intracellular Zn2+ activated the p38 cAMP response element-binding protein/mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 CREB/MAPK) cascade, upregulated nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) DNA binding, and increased the expression of inflammatory cytokines and matrix metallopeptidase-9 (MMP-9). CONCLUSION Increases in intracellular Zn2+ induced by oxidative stress activate signaling pathways involved in inflammation, potentially contributing to the progression of periodontal disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an erythrocyte enzyme defect that amplifies the susceptibility of erythrocytes to oxidative stress due to excessive levels of reactive oxygen species. Consequently, erythrocyte destruction and hemolysis occur. HIGHLIGHT The possible mechanism of oxidative stress-mediated destruction of erythrocytes in G6PD deficient individuals induced by periodontal infection is highlighted. CONCLUSION Periodontal diseases feature systemic loading of reactive oxygen species, and they may increase the risk of hemolysis in individuals with G6PD deficiency.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our study aimed to evaluate whether obesity induced by cafeteria diet changes the neutrophil effector/inflammatory function and whether treatment with green tea extract (GT) can improve neutrophil function. METHODS Male Wistar rats were treated with GT by gavage (12 weeks/5 days/week; 500 mg/kg of body weight), and obesity was induced by cafeteria diet (8 weeks). Neutrophils were obtained from the peritoneal cavity (injection of oyster glycogen). The following analyses were performed: phagocytic capacity, chemotaxis, myeloperoxidase activity (MPO), hypochlorous acid (HOCl), superoxide anion (O 2 (·-) ), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα, mRNA levels of inflammatory genes, calcium mobilisation, activities of antioxidant enzymes, hexokinase and G6PDH. RESULTS Neutrophils from obese rats showed a significant decrease in migration capacity, H2O2 and HOCl production, MPO activity and O 2 (·-) production. Phagocytosis and CD11b mRNA levels were increased, while inflammatory cytokines release remained unmodified. mRNA levels of TLR4 and IκK were enhanced. Treatment of obese rats with GT increased neutrophil migration, MPO activity, H2O2, HOCl and O 2 (·-) production, whereas TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased (versus obese). Similar reductions in TLR4, IκK and CD11b mRNA were observed. Catalase and hexokinase were increased by obesity, while SOD and G6PDH were decreased. Treatment with GT reduced catalase and increased the GSH/GSSG ratio. CONCLUSION In response to a cafeteria diet, we found a decreased chemotaxis, H2O2 release, MPO activity and HOCl production. We also showed a significant immunomodulatory effect of GT on the obese condition recovering some of these factors such H2O2 and HOCl production, also reducing the levels of inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
Fissistigma bracteolatum is widely used in traditional medicine to treat inflammatory diseases. However, its active components and mechanisms of action remain unclear. In this study, (3Z)-6,7-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-3-(phenylmethylidene)-5-(3-phenylpropanoyl)-1-benzofuran-2(3H) (bractelactone), a novel chalcone from F. bracteolatum, showed potent inhibitory effects against superoxide anion (O₂·⁻) production, elastase release, and CD11b expression in formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (FMLP)-induced human neutrophils. However, bractelactone showed only weak inhibition of phorbol myristate acetate-caused O₂·⁻ production. The peak cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca²⁺](i)) was unaltered by bractelactone in FMLP-induced neutrophils, but the decay time of [Ca²⁺](i) was significantly shortened. In a calcium-free solution, changes in [Ca²⁺](i) caused by the addition of extracellular Ca²⁺ were inhibited by bractelactone in FMLP-activated cells. In addition, bractelactone did not alter the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, ERK, JNK, or AKT or the concentration of cAMP. These results suggest that bractelactone selectively inhibits store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). In agreement with this concept, bractelactone suppressed sustained [Ca²⁺](i) changes in thapsigargin-activated neutrophils. Furthermore, bractelactone did not alter FMLP-induced formation of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the anti-inflammatory effects of bractelactone, an active ingredient of F. bracteolatum, in human neutrophils are through the selective inhibition of SOCE.

Abstract
Lipid rafts, the sphingolipid and cholesterol-enriched membrane microdomains, are able to form different membrane macrodomains or platforms upon stimulations, including redox signaling platforms, which serve as a critical signaling mechanism to mediate or regulate cellular activities or functions. In particular, this raft platform formation provides an important driving force for the assembling of NADPH oxidase subunits and the recruitment of other related receptors, effectors, and regulatory components, resulting, in turn, in the activation of NADPH oxidase and downstream redox regulation of cell functions. This comprehensive review attempts to summarize all basic and advanced information about the formation, regulation, and functions of lipid raft redox signaling platforms as well as their physiological and pathophysiological relevance. Several molecular mechanisms involving the formation of lipid raft redox signaling platforms and the related therapeutic strategies targeting them are discussed. It is hoped that all information and thoughts included in this review could provide more comprehensive insights into the understanding of lipid raft redox signaling, in particular, of their molecular mechanisms, spatial-temporal regulations, and physiological, pathophysiological relevances to human health and diseases.

Abstract
Neutrophil activation after trauma-hemorrhagic shock (T/H) has been implicated in the development of multiple organ dysfunction (MOD). In this study, we report that a small chemical compound, 2-(2-fluorobenzamido)benzoic acid ethyl ester (EFB-1), exhibited a potent inhibitory effect on the formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (FMLP)-induced superoxide anion (O2•-) release and CD11b expression by human neutrophils. Additionally, administration of EFB-1 in rats subjected to T/H caused a significant improvement in MOD. EFB-1 treatment induced an increase in cAMP formation and protein kinase (PK) A activity in FMLP-activated neutrophils, which occurred through the selective inhibition of cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity but not an increase in adenylate cyclase function or cGMP-specific PDE activity. FMLP-induced phosphorylation of protein kinase B (AKT), but not calcium mobilization, was reduced by EFB-1. The inhibitory effects of EFB-1 on O(2•-) production, CD11b expression, and AKT phosphorylation were reversed by PKA inhibitors (H89 and KT5720). Significantly, administration of EFB-1 (1 mg/kg body wt) attenuated the myeloperoxidase activity of the intestines, lungs, and liver and reduced the wet/dry weight ratio of the intestines and lungs and plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels in Sprague-Dawley rats after T/H. Therefore, EFB-1 is a new inhibitor of cAMP-specific PDE that potently suppresses O(2•-) release and CD11b expression by human neutrophils and attenuates T/H-induced MOD in rats.

Abstract
Periodontal infections have been associated with a state of chronic inflammation. To ascertain whether severe periodontitis and its treatment are associated with oxidative stress, we recruited 145 cases (periodontitis) and 56 controls in a case-control study. A further pilot intervention study of 14 cases (periodontal therapy) was performed. Blood samples were taken at baseline (case-control) and 1, 3, 5, 7, and 30 days after treatment (intervention). Diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites (D-ROM), anti-oxidant potential, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6, and lipid profiles were determined with high-sensitivity assays in serum. Patients with severe periodontitis exhibited higher D-ROM levels (P < 0.001) and lower total anti-oxidant capacity (P < 0.001) compared with healthy control individuals. These findings were independent of age, gender, smoking habits, ethnicity, and standard lipids differences. D-ROM levels were positively correlated with CRP (R = 0.4, P < 0.001) and clinical periodontal parameters (R = 0.20, P < 0.05). Acute increases of D-ROM (P < 0.01) were observed following periodontal therapy. Analysis of these data suggests a positive association between severe periodontitis and oxidative stress.

Abstract
The pericarp of Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn is traditionally used as an expectorant in Japan, China, and Taiwan. Activated neutrophils produce high concentrations of the superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) and elastase known to be involved in airway mucus hypersecretion. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory functions of hederagenin 3-O-(3,4-O-di-acetyl-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside)-(1-->3)-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-l-arabinopyranoside (SMG-1), a saponin isolated from S. mukorossi, and its underlying mechanisms were investigated in human neutrophils. SMG-1 potently and concentration-dependently inhibited O(2)(*-) generation and elastase release in N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP)-activated human neutrophils. Furthermore, SMG-1 reduced membrane-associated p47(phox) expression in FMLP-induced intact neutrophils, but did not alter subcellular NADPH oxidase activity in reconstituted systems. SMG-1 attenuated FMLP-induced increase of cytosolic calcium concentration and phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, ERK, JNK, and AKT. However, SMG-1 displayed no effect on cellular cAMP levels and activity of adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase. Significantly, receptor-binding analysis showed that SMG-1 inhibited FMLP binding to its receptor in a concentration-dependent manner. In contrast, neither phorbol myristate acetate-induced O(2)(*-) generation and MAPKs activation nor thapsigargin-caused calcium mobilization was altered by SMG-1. Taken together, our results demonstrate that SMG-1 is a natural inhibitor of the FMLP receptor, which may have the potential to be developed into a useful new therapeutic agent for treating neutrophilic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Neutrophils are activated following hemorrhagic shock and the accumulation of neutrophils in the lung is associated with lung injury. This research investigated the effects of a semisynthetic 2-benzoylaminobenzoic acid derivative, methyl 2-(2-fluorobenzamido)benzoate (DSM-RX78), on superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) production in formyl-l-methionyl-l-leucyl-l-phenylalanine (FMLP)-activated human neutrophils, and on lung injury in Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to trauma-hemorrhage. DSM-RX78 concentration-dependently inhibited O(2)(-) production, but not elastase release, in FMLP-activated human neutrophils. DSM-RX78 displayed no superoxide-scavenging ability, and it failed to alter the subcellular NADPH oxidase activity. Significantly, DSM-RX78 increased cAMP formation and protein kinase (PK)A activity in FMLP-activated neutrophils, which occurred through the selective inhibition of cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity but not an increase in adenylate cyclase function or cGMP-specific PDE activity. These results show that DSM-RX78 is a new inhibitor of cAMP-specific PDE. Moreover, DSM-RX78 reduced FMLP-induced phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt), but not calcium mobilization. The inhibitory effects of DSM-RX78 on O(2)(-) production and Akt phosphorylation were reversed by PKA inhibitors, suggesting that DSM-RX78 regulates O(2)(-) production of human neutrophils by promoting cAMP/PKA-dependent inhibition of Akt activation. On the other hand, administration of DSM-RX78 significantly attenuated the increase in myeloperoxidase activity and edema in the lung, as well as protein concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in rats after trauma-hemorrhagic shock. In summary, these results strongly suggest that DSM-RX78 exerts anti-inflammatory effects, which result from the elevation of cAMP levels and PKA activity through its inhibition of cAMP-specific PDE. Also, our findings show that DSM-RX78 attenuates hemorrhagic shock-induced lung injury in rats.

Abstract
Neutrophil superoxide production is implicated in the pathogenesis of gastric mucosal damage induced by various ulcerative agents and Helicobacter pylori infection. We investigated here the effects of an anti-ulcer drug irsogladine [2, 4-diamino-6-(2, 5-dichlorophenyl)-s-triazine maleate] on cAMP formation in isolated human neutrophils. The cAMP level in human neutrophils was elevated by a phosphodiesterase (PDE) type 4 selective inhibitor rolipram, but not by any inhibitors of PDE1, PDE2 and PDE3. Irsogladine also increased cAMP formation in a concentration-dependent manner in neutrophils. A non-selective PDE inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) alone significantly increased cAMP level, whereas irsogladine was unable to further increase cAMP level in the presence of IBMX. Irsogladine inhibited concentration-dependently the superoxide (O(2)(-)) production induced by various stimuli including formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, opsonized zymosan, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio] triphosphate, A23187 and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. These effects of irsogladine were mimicked by rolipram, IBMX and dibutyryl cAMP. The inhibitory effects of irsogladine and rolipram on the O(2)(-) production were reversed by a protein kinase A inhibitor H-89. These results indicate that irsogladine inhibits the superoxide production in human neutrophils by the increase of cAMP content by PDE 4 inhibition, which in turn contributing to the anti-ulcer effects of irsogladine on gastric mucosal lesions associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
Lipid rafts are membrane microdomains enriched in saturated phospholipids, sphingolipids, and cholesterol. They have a varied but distinct protein composition and have been implicated in diverse cellular processes including polarized traffic, signal transduction, endo- and exo-cytoses, entrance of obligate intracellular pathogens, and generation of pathological forms of proteins associated with Alzheimer's and prion diseases. Raft proteins can be permanently or temporarily associated to lipid rafts. Here, we review recent advances on the biochemical and cell biological characterization of rafts, and on the emerging concept of the temporary residency of proteins in rafts as a regulatory mechanism of their biological activity.

Abstract
We have investigated the contribution of lipid rafts to activation of the NADPH oxidase enzyme system in neutrophils. Membrane-bound NADPH oxidase subunits are present in the lipid raft compartment of neutrophils. Cytosolic NADPH oxidase components are mainly absent from but are recruited to rafts upon Fcgamma receptor activation. In parallel, protein kinase C isotypes are recruited to the rafts. Kinetic analysis of NADPH oxidase activation revealed that rafts determine the onset but not the maximal rate of enzyme activity. Thus lipid rafts serve to physically juxtapose the NADPH oxidase effector, protein kinase C and Fcgamma receptor, resulting in efficient coupling.

Abstract
In the present study we have examined the effects of hydrocarbons on the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human neutrophil granulocytes in vitro. We found that hydrocarbons induce ROS formation in a concentration-dependent manner and that the ROS-inducing potency increases with increasing number of carbon atoms in the structure. In general, aromatic hydrocarbons were less potent inducers of ROS than aliphatic and cyclic hydrocarbons. The most potent compound in each group, t-butylcyclohexane, n-decane, and n-butylbenzene, were chosen for mechanistic studies. ROS formation was inhibited by the MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor erbstatin-A, and the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor wortmannin. The involvement of the ERK1/2 pathway was confirmed by Western blot analysis of phosphorylated ERK1/2. The study revealed only small differences in the mechanisms involved for the three compounds. The responses were not affected by Pertussis toxin, indicating that Gi-protein coupled receptors are not involved in neutrophil activation after hydrocarbon exposure. Based on these findings we propose a mechanism involving tyrosine kinases, PI3 kinase, and the ERK1/2 pathway, leading to activation of the NADPH oxidase and production of ROS in neutrophils stimulated by organic solvents.

Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of compounds, which have effects on the immune and nervous system. We have investigated the effects of seven diortho-substituted biphenyls with different substituents on activation of respiratory burst and calcium elevation in human granulocytes, and inhibition of the uptake of dopamine into synaptic vesicles and synaptosomes isolated from rat brain. We have attempted to find the chemical and physical properties, which can contribute to the variation in biological effects. These properties include the absolute hardness, the molecular size, the hydrophobicity of the molecules, the retention time on a DB5-MS GC-column and the electronegativity of the substituents. In general the dichloro- and dibromobiphenyls were the most potent in all biological tests. The difluorosubstituted was less potent than the other two halide-biphenyls presumably because of the smaller size of the substituent. Dimethylbiphenyl was active in all tests. Dihydroxy- and dimethanolbiphenyl were inactive in all tests, whereas dinitrobiphenyl was only active as a vesicular dopamine uptake inhibitor. Important physico-chemical parameters correlated to the effects were absolute hardness, molecular size and lipophilicity. Among the tested diortho-substituted biphenyls the most active were the chlorinated, brominated, and methylated. This indicates the significance of the molecular size in combination with the hydrophobicity for the studied toxic effects.

Abstract
Rac2 is a hematopoietic-specific Rho family GTPase implicated as an important constituent of the NADPH oxidase complex and shares 92% amino acid identity with the ubiquitously expressed Rac1. In bone marrow (BM) neutrophils isolated from rac2(-/-) mice generated by gene targeting, we previously reported that PMA-induced superoxide production was reduced by about 4-fold, which was partially corrected in TNF-alpha-primed BM neutrophils and in peritoneal exudate neutrophils. We investigated receptor-mediated activation of the NADPH oxidase in the current study, finding that superoxide production in rac2(-/-) BM and peritoneal exudate neutrophils was normal in response to opsonized zymosan, reduced to 22% of wild type in response to IgG-coated SRBC, and almost absent in response to fMLP. In wild-type murine BM neutrophils, phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and Akt was induced by PMA or fMLP, which was decreased in rac2(-/-) neutrophils for ERK1/2 and p38. Activation of p38 by either opsonized zymosan or IgG-coated SRBC was similar in wild-type and rac2(-/-) cells. Inhibition of ERK1/2 or p38 activation using either PD98059 or SB203580, respectively, had only a modest effect on fMLP-elicited superoxide production and no effect on the PMA-induced response. These data provide genetic evidence supporting an important role for Rac2 in regulating neutrophil NADPH oxidase activation downstream of chemoattractant and Fcgamma receptors. The effect of Rac2 deficiency on superoxide production is probably exerted through multiple pathways, including those independent of mitogen-activated protein kinase activation.

Abstract
We previously established that Leishmania promastigotes express a transferrin receptor and that iron chelators inhibit promastigote growth in vitro. Thus, we were interested in modulating the vertebrate host iron pool and to monitor whether such changes will affect the outcome of L. major infection in BALB / c mice, inoculated in the footpad with 106 stationary phase promastigotes. Treatment of mice with desferrioxamine resulted in a slight delay of the development of cutaneous lesions. In contrast and unexpectedly, systemic iron delivery, at early time points of parasite delivery, significantly limited footpad pathology. Accordingly, parasite loads at the site of parasite delivery, the draining lymph node, liver and spleen were significantly reduced in iron-loaded mice. Importantly, the "protective" effect of iron delivery correlated with the presence, at the site of inoculation, of lower levels of IL-4 and IL-10 transcripts while both IFN-gamma and inducible nitric oxide synthase transcripts were at higher levels. The presence of more type 1 cytokine transcripts was further supported by the increased levels of IgG2a in their sera. These data strongly suggest that susceptibility to L. major as assessed in the footpad model is modifiable by interventions that alter the iron status of the host at early time points of parasite delivery.

Abstract
Human granulocytes are characterized by a variety of specific effector functions involved in host defense. Several widely expressed protein kinases have been implicated in the regulation of these effector functions. A polymerase chain reaction–based strategy was used to identify novel granulocyte-specific kinases. A novel protein kinase complementary DNA with an open reading frame of 357 amino acids was identified with homology to calcium-calmodulin–dependent kinase I (CaMKI). This has been termed CaMKI-like kinase (CKLiK). Analysis of CKLiK messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in hematopoietic cells demonstrated an almost exclusive expression in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Up-regulation of CKLiK mRNA occurs during neutrophilic differentiation of CD34+ stem cells. CKLiK kinase activity was dependent on Ca++ and calmodulin as analyzed by in vitro phosphorylation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate responsive element modulator (CREM). Furthermore, CKLiK- transfected cells treated with ionomycin demonstrated an induction of CRE- binding protein (CREB) transcriptional activity compared to control cells. Additionally, CaMK-kinaseα enhanced CKLiK activity. In vivo activation of CKLiK was shown by addition of interleukin (IL)-8 to a myeloid cell line stably expressing CKLiK. Furthermore inducible activation of CKLiK was sufficient to induce extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activity. These data identify a novel Ca++/calmodulin-dependent PMN- specific kinase that may play a role in Ca++-mediated regulation of human granulocyte functions.

Abstract
Site-directed mutagenesis was used to generate a series of mutants harboring point or multiple substitutions within the hydrophilic, polybasic domain of gp91(phox) encompassed by residues 86-102, which was previously identified as a site of interaction with p47(phox) during phagocyte NADPH oxidase assembly. Recombinant wild-type or mutant gp91(phox) was expressed in a human myeloid leukemia cell line in which the endogenous gp91(phox) gene was disrupted by gene targeting. NADPH oxidase activity was measured in a cytochrome c reduction assay following granulocytic differentiation of cells that expressed recombinant gp91(phox). Expression of a gp91(phox) mutant in which amino acids 89-97 were replaced with nine alternate amino acids abolished NADPH oxidase activity. Expression of gp91(phox) mutants R89T, D95A, D95R, R96A, R96E, or K102T did not significantly affect NADPH oxidase activity. However, mutations of individual or paired arginine residues at positions 91 and 92 had substantial effects on superoxide generation. The R91E/R92E mutation completely abolished both NADPH oxidase activity and membrane-translocation of the cytosolic oxidase proteins p47(phox), p67(phox), Rac1, and Rac2. The phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced rate of superoxide production was reduced by approximately 75% in cells expressing R91T/R92A, R91E, or R92E gp91(phox) along with an increased lag time to the maximal rates of superoxide production relative to cells expressing wild-type gp91(phox). Taken together, these results demonstrate that Arg91 and Arg92 of gp91(phox) are essential for flavocytochrome b558 function in granulocytes and suggest that these residues participate in the interaction of gp91(phox) with the cytosolic oxidase proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We recently demonstrated that arachidonic:linoleic acid ratio of erythrocytes of essential hypertension patients is greater than normal. OBJECTIVE To investigate fatty acid composition, capability for adhesion to biological substrate and expression of beta2 integrins of leucocytes obtained from peripheral blood and skin window exudate of essential hypertension patients. DESIGN Neutrophil activation state was evaluated by reproducing the various conditions occurring in vivo during the life of the cell (i.e. under the 'resting' condition, such as in peripheral blood, and 'primed' condition, such as after transmigration through the endothelium and after administration of specific chemo-attractants). Because both peripheral blood and skin window leucocytes of the subjects were obtained on the same day, we could be sure that there had been no dietary influences on changes in levels of fatty acid. Thus, the observed changes should reliably reflect the metabolic rate of utilization of fatty acids coupled to the activation and migration of cells. RESULTS Leucocytes from essential hypertension patients were richer in arachidonic acid than were the corresponding cells from normotensive subjects; this difference was also evident for functionally activated skin window leucocytes, in spite of there having been a greater loss of poly-unsaturated fatty acids and arachidonic acid after migration. Moreover, a greater than normal arachidonic acid:linoleic acid ratio was shown for the first time to apply for leucocytes of essential hypertension patients, so extending our previous findings on the erythrocytes. Leucocytes from essential hypertension patients, collected both from peripheral blood and from skin window exudate, proved far more adhesive than the corresponding cells from age-matched and sex-matched controls, but this was not associated with a quantitative hyperexpression of beta2 integrins. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that an increase in availability of arachidonic acid in leucocytes could be a further expression of the generalized disturbance of fatty acid levels associated with essential hypertension and that a condition of hyperadhesion of neutrophils could occur spontaneously in vivo during the course of hypertension.

Abstract
The possibility that antibacterial agents, primarily directed against microorganisms, also modify host functions is widely recognized. While a knowledge of these non-antimicrobial effects of antibiotics, sometimes considered as 'side-effects', is necessary to prevent antibiotic-associated toxicity, the development of drugs derived from antibacterial agents for use in non-infectious diseases (e.g. motilins and antidiabetic drugs) is a new field of therapeutic research. Interactions between antibacterial drugs and the immune system may contribute to therapeutic efficacy in infectious diseases [1,2]. The immune system itself is a complex pyramid of redundant cellular factors/humoral effectors/mediators, whose fine regulation is just beginning to be unraveled. Phagocytes, ubiquitous and multifaceted cells are key components of cellular immunity, being involved both in immediate defences against non-self targets (pathogens, tumour cells, exogenous molecules, etc.) and in the regulation and triggering of specific immune responses. They are thus, prime targets of immune response modifiers. This review reconsiders the widely explored problem of interactions between antibacterial agents and phagocytes, focusing on future prospects in both infectious and non-infectious diseases.

Abstract
Exposure of neutrophils to a variety of agonists including soluble chemoattractant peptides and cytokines results in degranulation and activation of the oxidative burst (effector functions) that are required for bacterial killing. At present, the signaling pathways regulating these important functions are incompletely characterized. Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases (MAPK) as well as members of a family of "renaturable kinases" are rapidly activated in neutrophils in response to diverse physiological agonists, suggesting that they may regulate cell activation. Antagonists of phosphatidyl inositol-3-(OH) kinase (PI3-kinase) such as wortmannin (Wtmn) inhibit these effector responses as well as certain of the above-mentioned kinases, leading to the suggestion that these enzymes lie downstream of PI3-kinase in the pathway regulating the oxidative burst and granule secretion. However, an apparent discrepancy exists in that, while virtually obliterating activity of PI3-kinase and the oxidase at low concentrations (ID50 < 20 nM), Wtmn has only variable inhibitory effects on MAPK even at substantially higher concentrations (75-100 nM). This raises the possibility that the inhibitory effects of Wtmn are mediated via other enzyme systems. The purpose of the current study was therefore to compare the effects of Wtmn on PI3-kinase activity and on the chemoattractant-activated kinases, and to determine the potential relationship of these pathways to microbicidal responses. In human neutrophils, both the oxidative burst and granule secretion induced by fMLP were inhibited by Wtmn but at markedly different concentrations: the oxidative burst was inhibited with an ID50 of < 5 nM while granule secretion was only partially inhibited at concentrations exceeding 75 nM. Activation of both MEK-1 and MAPK in response to fMLP was only partially inhibited by high doses of Wtmn (ID50 of > 100 nM and approximately 75 nM, respectively). In contrast, Wtmn potently inhibited fMLP-induced activation of the 63 and 69 kDa renaturable kinases (ID50 approximately 5-10 nM). We speculate that the renaturable kinases may be involved in the regulation of the oxidative burst, whereas the MAPK pathway may play a role in other neutrophil functions such as granule secretion.

Abstract
Persistent neutrophilic meningitis is rarely found and it is characterized by predominance of the number of neutrophils in samples of C SF (cerebrospinal fluid) from the patient after seven days of treatment. The above patient in HIV positive; he has developed fever and mental disorder for 4 months and has presented neutrophilic pleocytosis in analysis of CSF for more than 5 months. Since the beginning or the treatment he has taken antituberculous drugs and corticosteroids. For 3 months, the serologic evaluation, smears and cultures were negative. On the 60th day in hospital, the investigation of acid-fast bacilli in CSF was positive and culture confirmed the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistant to isoniazid. Several factors that may have caused this uncommon development were discussed: the disturbance of cell-mediated immunity, mainly in release of IL 8 and TNF, the simultaneous use of medicines that could alter the CSF concentration of antituberculous drugs, and the increasing number of multiresistant strains.

Abstract
Repeated transient increases in intracellular free calcium levels ([Ca2-]i) are required for polymorphonuclear neutrophil migration on two-dimensional surfaces coated with fibronectin or vitronectin. Cells in which [Ca2+]i is buffered with quin2 become stuck on these substrates. Neutrophils migrating through the extracellular matrix in vivo encounter these and other substrates in a three-dimensional architecture that may alter the spatial distribution of adhesion receptors in contact with the matrix. In this study, we used fluorescence confocal microscopy to obtain moving three-dimensional images of neutrophils migrating through a biological tissue (human amnion) in the presence and absence of [Ca2+]i-buffering with quin2. In the absence of buffering, [Ca2+]i transients similar to those seen in cells migrating in two-dimensions were observed. [Ca2+]i-buffered neutrophils were able to migrate into the matrix, but they became attached firmly to the substrate at the rear of the cell, resulting in a drastically elongated morphology. Immunofluorescence revealed that neutrophils adhered to regions of the matrix that contained fibronectin. RGD-containing peptides and antibodies that block integrin adhesion receptors for fibronectin and vitronectin were able to rescue the migration of quin2-treated cells through three-dimensional gels containing fibronectin and vitronectin. These data show that neutrophils migrating through physiologically relevant, three-dimensional matrices undergo repetitive increases in [Ca2+]i that are required for integrin-mediated detachment from the matrix.

Abstract
The chemotactic peptide f-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) stimulates leukocyte functions through binding and activation of a specific G-protein-coupled formyl peptide receptor (FPR). Recent studies have shown that stimulation of neutrophils with fMLP induces the activation of two members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) family, ERK1 and ERK2, through mechanisms that are not completely understood but may involve the phosphorylation of the adapter protein SHC by the Src-related kinase Lyn. In this study, transfected fibroblasts expressing the rabbit FPR were used to investigate further the role of Lyn and SHC phosphorylation in fMLP-stimulated MAP kinase activation. Stimulation of transfected cells with fMLP resulted in the time- and dose-dependent increase in tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of ERK1 and ERK2 and the activation of MEK, the MAP kinase/ERK kinase. The activation of both ERKs and MEK was inhibited by preincubation of the cells with pertussis toxin, indicating that activation was dependent upon a Gi/Go-like protein that couples to the receptor. Our data also show that, unlike neutrophils, FPR-transfected fibroblasts do not express the Src-related kinase Lyn. In the absence of Lyn, fMLP stimulation did not result in an increased tyrosine phosphorylation of the adapter protein SHC, whereas it was still able to induce MAP kinase activation. These data suggest that Lyn and SHC are not the only upstream signals for activation of the MAP kinase/ERK pathway by fMLP and demonstrate the potential application of the FPR-transfected cells for the delineation of additional signaling mechanisms stimulated by fMLP.
