Abstract

The effects of polystyrene (PS) material surface preadsorption with fibrinogen (3 mg/ml) and a low concentration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 10 ng/ml) and polystyrene particles (PS; 10(5)/ml) on human monocyte adhesion, viability and cytokine release were studied during 24h culture in vitro. LPS caused an upregulation of CD14 in adherent cells. In comparison with unstimulated cells on uncoated polystyrene surfaces, LPS did not alter the number of adherent cells but caused a markedly increased release of the proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1alpha and TNF-alpha) and the down-regulating IL-10. The expression of indicators of various stages of cell death, TdT, annexin-V, propidium iodide (PI) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), were unaltered, decreased, decreased and increased, respectively, after LPS stimulation. PS particles (3 microm psi) caused an increased DNA fragmentation but had a reduced proportion of annexin-V and PI positive cells in comparison with unstimulated cells on uncoated PS. In contrast, 1microm psi particles had a similar proportion of TdT, annexin-V and PI expressing cells as unstimulated controls. Cultures stimulated with particles (irrespective of size), had a similar concentration of proinflammatory cytokines a...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
