Abstract

Leukocytes express both urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and the urokinase receptor (uPAR, CD87). We have shown that neutrophil recruitment to the lung during P. aeruginosa pneumonia is impaired in uPAR-deficient (uPAR-/-) mice but is normal in uPA-/- mice. However, both uPA-/- mice and uPAR-/- mice have impaired lung clearance of P. aeruginosa compared with wild-type (WT) mice. To determine the role of uPA and uPAR in antibacterial host defense, we compared neutrophil bacterial-phagocytosis, respiratory burst, and degranulation among uPA-/-, uPAR-/-, and WT mice. Neutrophil phagocytosis was significantly diminished comparing uPA-/- and uPAR-/- mice with WT mice at all time points. The generation of superoxide by both uPA-/- and uPAR-/- neutrophils was about half of that seen in WT neutrophils. Degranulation of azurophilic granules was significantly diminished in uPA-/- neutrophils compared with either uPAR-/- or WT neutrophils. By contrast, agonist-stimulated release of specific granules was not diminished in either uPA-/- or uPAR-/- mice compared with WT. We conclude that the uPA/uPAR system modulates several of the crucial steps in neutrophil activation that result in bacterial killing and effective innate host def...Continue Reading
