Blood Neutrophils

AbstractNeutrophils are a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The role of airway mucous on ROS production is unknown. The aim of our study was to investigate the direct influence of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and induced sputum (IS) alone or in combination with chemical/biological stimulus on ROS production in peripheral blood neutrophils during chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Neutrophils were isolated from peripheral blood of 47 patients with moderate COPD and 14 healthy individuals (HI). BALF/RPMI (1:1) or IS/RPMI (1:1) from COPD patients were used to stimulate neutrophils alone or in combination with phorbolmyristate- acetate (PMA) (0.1–30 nM) or Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (0.7–500 bact/neutrophil). Relative generation of ROS was measured flow cytometrically. BALF/RPMI and in combination with relatively low PMA or all bacteria concentrations stimulated ROS; while, combination with relatively high PMA concentrations suppressed ROS in of COPD patients and HI. IS/RPMI and its combination with PMA inhibited ROS generation in both groups; whereas, IS stimulated or had a tendency to stimulate ROS production with relatively high bacteria concentrations. In conclusion, BALF and IS directly or in combination with chemical/biological factors modulated ROS production. This effect was stronger in neutrophils from COPD patients and depended on chemical/biological stimulus intensity.

Abstract Deregulation of tyrosine-kinases is a characteristic of most Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN); evolution from chronic phase to acute leukemia depends on the acquisition of additional mutations. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), the production of which is increased by tyrosine-kinase activation, can be responsible for additional mutations. The role of ROS in generating genetic aberrations has been mainly studied in BCR-ABL-positive cell lines. Little is known of ROS metabolism in primary cells from CML or Philadelphia-negative MPN (Ph-MPN). After informed consent, cells from blood or bone marrow were obtained from patients diagnosed with CML (12 bone marrow (BM), 8 peripheral blood (PB)), or Ph-MPN (4 Polycythemia Vera, 6 Essential Thrombocythemia, 3 Primary Myelofibroses, 2 atypical CML) and from healthy donors (bone marrow donors) or patients devoid of hematological disease undergoing thoracotomy. Cells were incubated with DCFDA, a fluorogenic marker of ROS production, labelled with an anti-CD45 antibody, stimulated with either the oxidant hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or the PKC activator Phorbol Myristate Acetate (PMA), and analysed for ROS production by flow cytometry. CD45/SSC gating allowed separate analysis of granulocytes, monocytes or lymphocytes. The basal level of ROS was not higher in CML cells as compared to normal BM or PB leukocytes. It was even significantly lower in CML lymphocytes, either from the BM (2.35 Arbitrary Units vs 8.3 AU, p=5.5 10−5) or PB (2.47 AU vs 7.4 AU, p=3.10−5) and in CML granulocytes from peripheral blood (14 AU vs 45 AU, p =10 −5), but not bone marrow. The ROS levels of Ph-MPN cells were similar or slightly higher than control cells. Upon H2O2 stimulation however, ROS production increased significantly more in CML cells as compared to normal cells (6 fold increase), whatever the cell type (granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes) or their origin (PB or BM). In contrast, for Ph-MPN cells, H2O2-stimulated ROS production was close to that of normal cells, with only BM lymphocytes showing ROS generation four fold higher than control BM lymphocytes. After PMA stimulation, which yielded a more modest ROS production than H2O2, CML cells behaved similarly to normal cells, whereas ROS production was four fold higher in Ph-MPN cells, whatever their type and origin. In conclusion, ROS levels at the basal stage are not higher in MPN cells, whether they are Philadelphia positive or negative, as compared to normal cells. Various kinds of stimulation induce different patterns of response, CML cells being more sensitive to oxidants whereas Ph-MPN cells respond more to the cytokine-mimicking agent PMA. These results suggest that the mechanisms of ROS generation and thus of genetic instability are different in CML and Ph-MPN.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as well as obesity is associated with increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Neutrophils produce great amounts of ROS. The aim was to evaluate peripheral blood neutrophils ROS production in men with OSA and to establish relations with disease severity and obesity.Methods. Forty-six men with OSA and 10 controls were investigated. OSA was confirmed by polysomnography (PSG), when apnea/hypopnea index was >5/h. Body mass index (BMI) was evaluated. Neutrophils were isolated from peripheral blood in the morning after PSG. Dihydrorhodamine-123 was used for ROS detection. Data is presented as median (25th and 75th percentiles). All subjects were divided into four groups: nonobese mild-to-moderate OSA, obese mild-to-moderate OSA, nonobese severe OSA, and obese severe OSA.Results. Neutrophil ROS production was higher in nonobese severe OSA group compared to nonobese mild-to-moderate OSA (mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) 213.4 (89.0–238.9) versus 44.5 (20.5–58.4),P<0.05). In obese patient groups, ROS production was more increased in severe OSA compared to mild-to-moderate OSA group (MFI 74.5 (47.9–182.4) versus 31.0 (14.8–53.8),P<0.05). It did not differ in the groups with different BMI and the same severity of OSA.Conclusion. Increased neutrophil ROS production was related to more severe OSA but not obesity.

Necrotrophic Effectors

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a central role in plant immune responses. The most important virulence factors of the Stagonospora nodorum Berk. are multiple fungal necrotrophic effectors (NEs) (SnTox) that affect the redox-status and cause necrosis and/or chlorosis in wheat lines possessing dominant susceptibility genes (Snn). However, the effect of NEs on ROS generation at the early stages of infection has not been studied. We studied the early stage of infection of various wheat genotypes with S nodorum isolates -Sn4VD, SnB, and Sn9MN, carrying a different set of NE genes. Our results indicate that all three NEs of SnToxA, SnTox1, SnTox3 significantly contributed to cause disease, and the virulence of the isolates depended on their differential expression in plants (Triticum aestivum L.). The Tsn1–SnToxA, Snn1–SnTox1and Snn3–SnTox3 interactions played an important role in inhibition ROS production at the initial stage of infection. The Snn3–SnTox3 inhibited ROS production in wheat by affecting NADPH-oxidases, peroxidases, superoxide dismutase and catalase. The Tsn1–SnToxA inhibited ROS production in wheat by affecting peroxidases and catalase. The Snn1–SnTox1 inhibited the production of ROS in wheat by mainly affecting a peroxidase. Collectively, these results show that the inverse gene-for gene interactions between effector of pathogen and product of host sensitivity gene suppress the host’s own PAMP-triggered immunity pathway, resulting in NE-triggered susceptibility (NETS). These results are fundamentally changing our understanding of the development of this economical important wheat disease.

Objective: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from activated platelets is known to regulate platelet activation. However, it remains unclear whether and how different isoforms of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) (NAD(P)H) oxidases (NOXs) play roles in different platelet activation pathways. Here we investigated the role of NOX1 and NOX2 in different platelet activation pathways using NOX1 and NOX2 knockout mice. Approach and Results: NOX1-/- platelets showed selective defects in G protein coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated platelet activation induced by thrombin, protease-activated receptor 4 agonist peptide (PAR4AP) and thromboxane A2 analog U46619, but was not affected in platelet activation induced by collagen-related peptide (CRP), a glycoprotein VI (GPVI) agonist. In contrast, NOX2-/- platelets showed potent inhibition of CRP-induced platelet activation, and also showed partial inhibition of thrombin-induced platelet aggregation and secretion. Consistently, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was inhibited in NOX1-/- platelets stimulated with thrombin, but not CRP, whereas NOX2-/- platelets showed reduced ROS generation induced by CRP or thrombin. Interestingly, laser-induced arterial thrombosis was impaired in NOX2-/- mice, and in thrombocytopenic mice transfused with NOX2-/- platelets, suggesting an important role for NOX2-dependent platelet ROS production in the laser-induced injury model of thrombosis. Conclusions: NOX1 and NOX2 play differential roles in different platelet activation pathways: NOX1 mediates GPCR-mediated ROS production and platelet activation, whereas NOX2 plays a general role in GPVI- and GPCR-induced ROS production and platelet activation in vitro , and in laser-induced thrombosis in vivo .

Priming Activity

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria prime human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) via multicomponent receptor cluster including CD14 and MD-2·TLR4 for the enhanced release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were triggered by bacterial derived peptideN-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). In this study, we investigated the impact of CD14 on LPS-induced priming of human PMNs for fMLP-triggered ROS generation (respiratory or oxidative) burst. Monoclonal antibodies against human CD14 (mAbs) as well as isotype-matched IgG2a did not influence significantly fMLP-triggered ROS production from LPS-unprimed PMNs. Anti-CD14 mAbs (clone UCHM-1) attenuated LPS-induced priming of PMNs as it had been mirrored by fMLP-triggered decrease of ROS production. Similar priming activity of S-LPS or Re-LPS fromEscherichia colifor fMLP-triggered ROS release from PMNs was found. Obtained results suggest that glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored CD14 is the key player in LPS-induced PMN priming for fMLP-triggered ROS production. We believe that blockade of CD14 on the cell surface and clinical use of anti-CD14 mAbs or their Fab fragments may diminish the production of ROS and improve outcomes during cardiovascular diseases manifested by LPS-induced inflammation.

Bufalin has been shown to induce cancer cell death through apoptotic pathways. However, the molecular mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we used the confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM) to monitor the spatio-temporal dynamics of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, Bax translocation and caspase-3 activation during bufalin-induced apoptosis in living human lung adenocarcinoma (ASTC-a-1) cells. Bufalin induced ROS production and apoptotic cell death, demonstrated by Hoechst 33258 staining as well as flow cytometry analysis. Bax redistributed from cytosol to mitochondria from 12 to 48 h after bufalin treatment in living cells expressed with green fluorescent protein Bax. Treatment with the antioxidantN-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), a ROS scavenger, inhibited ROS generation and Bax translocation and led to a significant protection against bufalin-induced apoptosis. Our results also revealed that bufalin induced a prominent increase of caspase-3 activation blocked potently by NAC. Taken together, bufalin induced ROS-mediated Bax translocation, mitochondrial permeability transition and caspase-3 activation, implying that bufalin induced apoptosis via ROS-dependent mitochondrial death pathway in ASTC-a-1 cells.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), primarily attributed to cigarette smoke (CS), is characterized by multiple pathophysiological changes, including oxidative stress and inflammation. Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is a Ca2+ sensor that regulates Ca2+ entry in different types of cells. The present study aimed to explore the relationship between CS-induced oxidative stress and inflammation, as well as the functional role of STIM1 thereinto. Our results showed that the reactive oxygen species (ROS)/STIM1/Ca2+ axis played a critical role in CS-induced secretion of interleukin (IL)-8 in human alveolar macrophages. Specifically, smokers with COPD (SC) showed higher levels of ROS in the lung tissues compared with healthy non-smokers (HN). STIM1 was upregulated in the lung tissues of COPD patients. The expression of STIM1 was positively associated with ROS levels and negatively correlated with pulmonary function. The expression of STIM1 was also increased in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) macrophages of COPD patients and PMA-differentiated THP-1 macrophages stimulated by cigarette smoke extract (CSE). Additionally, CSE-induced upregulation of STIM1 in PMA-differentiated THP-1 macrophages was inhibited by pretreatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a ROS scavenger. Transfection with small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting STIM1 and pretreatment with NAC alleviated CSE-induced increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels and IL-8 expression. Furthermore, pretreatment with SKF-96365 and 2-APB, the inhibitors of Ca2+ influx, suppressed CSE-induced secretion of IL-8. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that CSE-induced ROS production may increase the expression of STIM1 in macrophages, which further promotes the release of IL-8 by regulating Ca2+ entry. These data suggest that STIM1 may play a crucial role in CSE-induced ROS production and inflammation, and participate in the pathogenesis of COPD.
