Abstract

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) infiltrate tissue in response to chemoattractants, including interleukin 8 (IL-8). Infiltrating PMNs clear microorganisms but also cause tissue damage. We previously reported the presence in human bronchial lavage of a peptide that inhibits PMN functions. The current project assessed (1) effects of a synthetic analog of this peptide (synthetic neutrophil inhibitor peptide, SNIP) on IL-8-induced nasal inflammation in humans, (2) effects of SNIP on PMN apoptosis and chemotaxis, (3) specific binding of SNIP to PMNs, and (4) evidence of larger molecules with the SNIP sequence. Results show that SNIP attenuates IL-8-induced nasal inflammation, inhibits in vitro PMN chemotaxis to IL-8, and accentuates PMNs apoptosis. PMNs contain specific SNIP-binding sites and the integrin CR3 (CD11b/CD18), or a CR3-associated molecule, is one SNIP-binding molecule. Chemotaxis to IL-8 is most potently inhibited by SNIP in the presence of fibrinogen, a CR3 ligand. Antiserum against the SNIP sequence recognizes a 70-kDa protein in bronchoalveolar lavage and an anti-SNIP immunoaffinity column binds a 70-kDa protein in U937 cell culture supernatant. U937 cell mRNA contains a 1.8-kb transcript detected with degenerate...Continue Reading
