Abstract

Alveolar macrophages (AM) are important in host defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB). beta 2-integrins, especially CD11a/CD18 and CD11b/CD18, are implicated in leukocyte migration, antigen presentation, phagocytosis, and production of reactive oxygen species. To explore the functional relevance of beta 2-integrin expression to intracellular H2O2 capacity of AM in TB patients. In a prospective study, AM retrieved from 18 active pulmonary TB patients and 18 normal subjects were assessed for beta 2-integrin expression and intracellular H2O2 metabolism capacity by loading with anti-CD11a/CD18, anti-CD11b/CD18 monoclonal antibodies and 2',7' dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) respectively, and analyzed by flow cytometry. AM from 8 normal subjects were stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha, 10(5) units/ml) to examine the relationship between H2O2 production and CD11b/CD18 expression. The magnitude of DCFH oxidation and CD11b/CD18 expression of AM was higher in TB patients than in normal subjects. The CD11b/CD18 expression was related to the magnitude of DCFH oxidation, but not to lymphocyte numbers or subpopulations (CD4, CD8, CD25). Stimulation of AM with TNF-alpha increased H2O2 production and CD11b...Continue Reading

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
