Abstract

The respiratory burst of phagocytes in an important leukocyte function which results in generation of oxygen species that are both microbicidal and potentially damaging to host tissues. We investigated regulation of the respiratory burst of alveolar macrophages in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from gram-negative bacteria, serum proteins, and several modulators of signal transduction. When employed as a single stimulus, LPS (E. coli 055:B5, 10 ng/ml-1 microgram/ml) was a weak stimulus for generation of superoxide anion (O2-) as compared to the potent effect of the protein kinase C activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 500 ng/ml). However, when LPS was combined with fetal bovine serum (FBS; 0.4-1.0% vol/vol, equivalent to 128-320 micrograms protein/ml), O2- generation was enhanced approximately two-fold over LPS alone. A chromatographically-derived bovine serum fraction which contained bovine lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (bLBP; 0.25-1.0 microgram/ml) was an effective substitute for FBS at a much lower protein concentration than whole FBS, and a similar synergistic effect with LPS on O2- generation was observed. Stimulation of macrophages for generation of O2- either with LPS alone or with LPS plus ...Continue Reading
