Recruitment of CD11b/CD18 to the neutrophil surface and adherence-dependent cell locomotion.

Abstract

Chemotactic stimulation of neutrophils results in translocation of CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1) from intracellular storage pools to the cell surface. Though results from several laboratories indicate that the newly arrived surface Mac-1 is not involved in the adherence induced by the initial stimulus, the present study addresses the hypothesis that this Mac-1 plays a role in subsequent adherence-dependent functions. The response of human neutrophils to changing concentrations of a chemotactic stimulus was evaluated by determining the amount of newly arrived surface Mac-1, and Mac-1-dependent adhesion and locomotion. Small step-wise increases in the concentration of f-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP) resulted in proportional stepwise increases in surface Mac-1 that plateaued within 2-4 min. This newly arrived Mac-1 supported adhesion to protein-coated surfaces only when the cells were exposed to an additional increase in the FMLP stimulus level. Adherence-dependent cellular locomotion was evaluated in chambers that allowed rapid changes in the stimulus concentration. Repeated small increments in the stimulus level at 200-s intervals resulted in significantly longer migration paths than a single-step increase in the stimulus. The results support the hypothesis that small increments in the chemotactic stimulus bring Mac-1 to the cell surface, and this newly mobilized Mac-1 is available for adherence-dependent locomotion with subsequent increases in the concentration of the stimulus.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
