Abstract
Compromised clearance of all-trans-retinal (atRAL), a component of the retinoid cycle, increases the susceptibility of mouse retina to acute light-induced photoreceptor degeneration. Abca4(-/-)Rdh8(-/-) mice featuring defective atRAL clearance were used to examine the one or more underlying molecular mechanisms, because exposure to intense light causes severe photoreceptor degeneration in these animals. Here we report that bright light exposure of Abca4(-/-)Rdh8(-/-) mice increased atRAL levels in the retina that induced rapid NADPH oxidase-mediated overproduction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, such ROS generation was inhibited by blocking phospholipase C and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca(2+) release, indicating that activation occurs upstream of NADPH oxidase-mediated ROS generation. Because multiple upstream G protein-coupled receptors can activate phospholipase C, we then tested the effects of antagonists of serotonin 2A (5-HT(2A)R) and M(3)-muscarinic (M(3)R) receptors and found they both protected Abca4(-/-)Rdh8(-/-) mouse retinas from light-induced degeneration. Thus, a cascade of signaling events appears to mediate the toxicity of atRAL in light-induced photoreceptor degeneration of Abca4(-/-)Rdh8(-/-) mice. A similar mechanism may be operative in human Stargardt disease and age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract
Background The immune system gradually deteriorates with age and nutritional status is a major factor in immunosenescence. Of the many nutritional factors implicated in age-related immune dysfunction, vitamin A may be a good candidate, since vitamin A concentrations classically decrease during aging whereas it may possess important immunomodulatory properties via its active metabolites, the retinoic acids. This prompted us to investigate the immune response induced by retinoids in adults and elderly healthy subjects. Before and after oral supplementation with 13cis retinoic acid (0.5 mg/kg/day during 28 days), whole blood cells were phenotyped, and functions of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) were investigated by flow cytometry and ELISA tests. Results In both young adults (n = 20, 25 ± 4 years) and older subjects (n = 20, 65 ± 4 years), retinoic acid supplementation had no effect on the distribution of leukocyte subpopulations or on the functions of PBMC (Il-2 and sIl-2R production, membrane expression of CD25). Concerning PMN, retinoic acid induced an increase in both spontaneous migration and cell surface expression of CD11b in the two different age populations, whereas bactericidal activity and phagocytosis remained unchanged. Conclusions We demonstrated that retinoic acid induces the same intensity of immune response between adult and older subjects, and more specifically affects PMN functions, i.e. adhesion and migration, than PBMC functions.

Abstract
Proton channels exist in a wide variety of membrane proteins where they transport protons rapidly and efficiently. Usually the proton pathway is formed mainly by water molecules present in the protein, but its function is regulated by titratable groups on critical amino acid residues in the pathway. All proton channels conduct protons by a hydrogen-bonded chain mechanism in which the proton hops from one water or titratable group to the next. Voltage-gated proton channels represent a specific subset of proton channels that have voltage- and time-dependent gating like other ion channels. However, they differ from most ion channels in their extraordinarily high selectivity, tiny conductance, strong temperature and deuterium isotope effects on conductance and gating kinetics, and insensitivity to block by steric occlusion. Gating of H(+) channels is regulated tightly by pH and voltage, ensuring that they open only when the electrochemical gradient is outward. Thus they function to extrude acid from cells. H(+) channels are expressed in many cells. During the respiratory burst in phagocytes, H(+) current compensates for electron extrusion by NADPH oxidase. Most evidence indicates that the H(+) channel is not part of the NADPH oxidase complex, but rather is a distinct and as yet unidentified molecule.

Abstract
The effect of different concentrations of three antioxidans on phagocytic and kill activities of blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) isolated from buffaloes during the peripartum period (4 weeks before to 7 weeks after parturition) was investigated in this study. Two concentrations of beta-carotene and vitamin A (10(-6) and 10(-5) M) and one concentration of Se (10(-9) M) were used. Phagocytic activity of PMN treated with beta-carotene (10(-6)M) significantly enhanced (P < 0.05) after parturition (Week 0 until Week 3), whereas the kill activity of the same cells significantly (P < 0.05) increased before and after parturition (at Weeks -4, -3, -2, 0, 1, 2 and 3). The concentration of beta-carotene (10(-5) M) enhanced phagocytosis of PMN only at Weeks 0 and 1 and kill activity at Weeks -4, -3, -2, 0, and 1. Selenium (10(-9)M) significantly (P < 0.05) enhanced phagocytic activity of PMN starting from parturition (Week 0) until Week 3 postpartum. Kill activity increased significantly both before (Weeks -4, -3 and -2) and after (Weeks 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) parturition. Vitamin A (10(-6) M) significantly enhanced phagocytic activity of PMN at Weeks 0, 1, and 2, whereas, the concentration of beta-carotene (10(-5) M) increased phagocytic activity only at Week 0. Kill activity of PMN increased significantly (P < 0.05) at Weeks -1 and 0 (10(-6)M). These results demonstrate that beta-carotene and selenium significantly enhanced phagocytic and kill activities of PMN isolated from buffaloes around parturition in vitro. Vitamin A enhanced phagocytosis and kill activities but not to the same extent as beta-carotene and selenium. Apparently, the in vitro killing activity of PMN is a distinctive function from phagocytosis and both activities may be enhanced by the use of essential nutrients, especially during the peripartum period. Moreover, beta-carotene is more effective as an antioxidant than vitamin A in enhancing the activities of phagocytic cells.

Abstract
Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and all-trans-retinal (retinal) were evaluated as possible phagocytic stimulators of cultured, post implantation, trophoblast cells. Ectoplacental cones dissected from 7.5 day-old mouse embryos provided the source of trophoblastic cells. Co-cultures were performed using stimulated and non-stimulated trophoblast cells and erythrocytes under standard conditions. Phagocytic activity was expressed as the total number of phagocytic cells per ectoplacental cone, and as phagosomic vacuoles per trophoblast giant cell, either in the presence or absence of the stimulators. Both chemical agents had similar effects, less than 12 h after stimulation, statistically significant numbers of erythrophagosomes appear in the trophoblast giant cells (TGC). These findings demonstrate that TGC, like neutrophils and macrophages, can be activated to phagocytosis by exogenous factors. This enhanced activity may result from the generation and release of reactive oxygen species. In conclusion, our data suggest that, because stimulation was provided, the remarkable in vivo phagocytic activity of the trophoblast can be maintained under in vitro conditions, allowing study of the pathways and regulatory steps involved in this process.

Abstract
Without the addition of any exogenous stimuli, neutrophils generated O2- and then ceased in a reversible manner that correlated with cellular swelling and contraction. The nature of the possible mechanism responsible for this O2- generation was studied and compared with that observed in the triggering of stimulant-dependent O2- generation (respiratory burst). The swelling-induced O2- generation was inhibited by diphenyliodonium, and was independent of the functional distortion of mitochondrial and/or microsomal electron transport and xanthine oxidase. This suggested that such generation was involved in respiratory-burst oxidase activation; however, this generation was not accompanied by any new phosphorylation of the 47-kDa protein or of tyrosine proteins. Dihydrocytochalasin B potentiated the O2- generation. The cellular swelling produced a priming effect on the triggering of respiratory burst with different stimuli. Cellular contraction, conversely, suppressed the respiratory burst. The structural specificity of the swelling-induced plasma membrane modulation for the O2- generation was suggested by the finding that modulation of plasma membrane structures by various non-ionic detergents per se inhibited O2- generation. Lipophilic and positively-charged agents inhibited the generation and this inhibition was abrogated by negatively-charged, but not by non-ionic agents. Negatively-charged agents potentiated the O2- generation. These results suggest that both the interaction of the plasma membrane with the cytoskeleton and an increase in net negative charges at the plasma membrane play important role in evoking O2- generation; this is discussed and compared with the signal transduction reported previously for respiratory burst.

Abstract
Retinoids exhibit a wide spectrum of activities, including antiinflammatory properties. We have investigated the effect of retinoic acid (RA) and retinyl acetate (RAc) on the production of reactive oxygen metabolites and the release of lysosomal enzymes by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Incubation of PMN with RAc or RA (1-100 microM) caused a dose-dependent inhibition (upto 90%) in O2- production and chemiluminescence induced by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylanaline (fMLP), opsonized zymosan or ionophore A23187. Both retinoids (1-100 microM) also inhibited, in a dose-dependent way, degranulation induced by fMLP (upto 85% at the highest concentration of RA). These inhibitory effects appear irreversible, since they persist after the drugs are removed and the cells washed before stimulation. Inhibitors of cyclo-oxygenase activity such as acetylsalicyclic acid and indomethacin did not influence the effects of RAc. In contrast, BW755, an inhibitor of both cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, reversed the inhibitory action of RAc, suggesting that the effect of retinoids occurs possibly through the mediation of lipoxygenase products. The modulation of PMN oxidative metabolism and degranulation might help explain the antiinflammatory properties of retinoids.

Abstract
We studied the mechanism of the vasodilator effect of H2O2 on cerebral arterioles and its effect on endothelium-dependent responses to acetylcholine. Topical application of H2O2 (0.1-1 microM) on the brain surface of anesthetized cats equipped with cranial windows induced dose-dependent arteriolar dilation, which was markedly inhibited by topical deferoxamine, showing that it was probably mediated by generation of hydroxyl radical. Higher concentrations of H2O2 (3 microM) also induced dilation, which was unaffected by deferoxamine, indicating the participation of other mechanisms. After topical application of H2O2, endothelium-dependent responses to acetylcholine were eliminated or converted to vasoconstriction, and in bioassay experiments, acetylcholine-mediated endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) was absent. Superoxide dismutase plus catalase restored the appearance of transferable EDRF after 1 microM H2O2 but not after 3 microM H2O2. Application of H2O2 in the assay window eliminated the responses to nitroprusside and nitric oxide but did not affect responses to adenosine, to EDRF from the donor window, or responses to S-nitroso-L-cysteine. The inhibiting effect of H2O2 on the response to nitroprusside was partially eliminated after topical application of N-acetyl-L-cysteine. The results show that H2O2 inhibits the vasodilator action of nitroprusside and nitric oxide probably because it oxidizes thiols in vascular smooth muscle and prevents the formation of a nitrosothiol. EDRF from acetylcholine and S-nitroso-L-cysteine still produce dilation in the presence of the blockade induced by H2O2. The findings suggest strongly that the EDRF from acetylcholine in cerebral vessels is a nitrosothiol like S-nitroso-L-cysteine.

Abstract
Vitamin A and beta-carotene improved mammary health in dairy cows around dry off. To define possible mechanisms, cows were fed 1) 53,000 IU vitamin A, 2) 213,000 IU vitamin A, or 3) 53,000 IU vitamin A plus 400 mg beta-carotene/cow per d (n = 10/treatment) from 6 wk before to 2 wk after dry off. Blood polymorphonuclear neutrophil function (phagocytosis, kill, and chemotaxis) and lymphocyte proliferation were measured at wk -6, 0 (dry off), and 2. Concentrations of vitamin A in serum did not differ across vitamin treatments. beta-Carotene in serum was elevated in cows fed beta-carotene. Treatment did not influence phagocytosis or kill. Kill ability increased after dry off in all treatment groups, but phagocytosis tended to decrease after dry off in cows fed vitamin A only. Lymphocyte blastogenesis stimulated by concanavalin A on wk 2 for cows fed 53,000 IU vitamin A but did not vary in the other two groups. Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated blastogenesis peaked at wk 0 and then decreased to pretreatment values by wk 2 in cows fed 213,000 IU vitamin A. These data indicate lymphocyte function is influenced by vitamin A supplementation and that beta-carotene supplementation seems to exert a stabilizing effect on neutrophil and lymphocyte function during the period around dry off.

Abstract
Neutrophils and other phagocytic cells of the immune system possess a superoxide-generating oxidase system which is essential for the efficient killing of microbes. The system is activated by a wide variety of stimuli, some of which operate through pathways involving protein kinase C (PKC), while others appear not to. The PKC-dependent pathway is probably the major signal transduction route for most of the stimuli. Alterations in cellular Ca2+ and diglyceride levels can have a pronounced stimulatory effect on this pathway by their ability to synergistically activate PKC. This review discusses PKC, the different interactions of this kinase with the plasmalemma that are important in superoxide production, the synergy between Ca2+ and diglyceride, and the nature of the phosphoproteins involved. Evidence supporting the existence of the PKC-independent pathway is also reviewed.

Abstract
A family with a clinical variant of Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS), associated with recurrent pyogenic infections, has been followed up for more than 20 years. Of the five living siblings, four were treated with etretinate for a period of at least 21 consecutive months. Clinical follow-up showed that the course of recurrent infections in susceptible PLS patients, although usually more severe in childhood, can be variable and unpredictable. The etretinate therapy resulted in marked improvement of the keratodermas, and was associated with complete remission of the pyodermas on both keratotic and non-keratotic skin. It is, therefore, suggested that etretinate may have a primary role in the prevention of recurrent pyogenic infections in susceptible PLS patients.

Abstract
Dietary vitamin A and beta-carotene were assessed on their interaction with lactational status to influence neutrophil function in vitro. Cows were fed 1) 53,000 IU or 2) 213,000 IU vitamin A, or 3) 53,000 IU vitamin A plus 400 mg beta-carotene/cow per d from 6 wk before to 2 wk after dry off. Blood neutrophils were isolated the day of dry off and 2 wk after dry off and incubated with retinol, retinoic acid, or beta-carotene. Phagocytosis and kill of Staphylococcus aureus were measured. Across all treatments, kill was higher after dry off than before dry off. Phagocytosis tended to be lower after dry off than before in cows fed vitamin A only. In vitro, 10(-6) M beta-carotene stimulated phagocytosis after dry off and kill before dry off in cows fed vitamin A only. In general, retinol and retinoic acid suppressed phagocytosis but did not affect kill. Neutrophils from cows fed high amounts of vitamin A were more susceptible to in vitro suppression than those from cows fed adequate amounts of vitamin A. Therefore, vitamin A and beta-carotene supplementation interacts with lactational status to influence the responsiveness of bovine neutrophils to vitamin challenge in vitro.

The effects of various protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors on NADPH oxidase (NO) activation by the phorbol ester PMA and by the chemotactic peptide FMLP were studied. H-7 reduced the effects of both stimuli in human neutrophils (HN) and HL-60 cells by 13-63%. Polymyxin B did not inhibit NO activation by PMA and FMLP in HN and reduced the effects of both stimuli in HL-60 cells by 27-55%. Retinal and retinoic acid enhanced the effects of PMA and FMLP in HL-60 cells and of FMLP in HN up to 4.5-fold. In contrast, retinoic acid inhibited the effect of PMA in HN. In the presence of cytochalasin B, retinal inhibited the effect of FMLP in HN, whereas retinoic acid inhibited NO activation by FMLP in both cell types. The dual PKC/calmodulin inhibitors trifluoperazine and W-7 abolished NO activation by PMA and FMLP in HN and HL-60 cells. Thus, the effects of PKC inhibitors on NO activation exhibit (1) cell type specificity, (2) stimulus dependency and (3) no correlation with in vitro inhibition of PKC. Our results suggest that studies with PKC inhibitors presently available cannot clarify the role of PKC in NO activation.

Abstract
Recombinant tumor necrosis factor alpha (rTNF alpha) and beta (rTNF beta) did not trigger H2O2 release from PMN in suspension. However, when PMN were plated on polystyrene surfaces coated with serum, fibronectin, vitronectin, laminin, or human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), rTNFs induced a massive, prolonged secretory response, similar to that elicited by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or bacteria. On serum-coated plates, the maximum sustained rate of H2O2 release in response to rTNF alpha was 2.6 +/- 0.2 nmol/min per 10(6) PMN, the same as that with PMA; release continued for 73 +/- 4 min. On laminin-coated surfaces or HUVEC, release of H2O2 in response to rTNFs was slower, but lasted approximately 3.5 h, reaching the same total (greater than 100 nmol/10(6) PMN). Not only was this response far longer and larger than for other soluble stimuli of the respiratory burst studied with PMN in suspension, but the concentration necessary to elicit a half-maximal response (EC50) for rTNF alpha was orders of magnitude lower (55 pM). Responses were similar with FMLP, but ranged from zero to small with recombinant IFN alpha, recombinant IFN beta, recombinant IFN gamma, platelet-derived growth factor, recombinant IL-1 beta, or bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Adherent monocytes did not secrete H2O2 in response to rTNFs. H2O2 secretion by adherent PMN was first detectable 15-90 min after addition of rTNFs or FMLP. This lag period was unaffected by prior exposure of PMN to rTNF alpha in suspension, by allowing PMN to adhere before adding rTNF alpha, or by incubating adherent PMN in medium conditioned by rTNF alpha-treated PMN. Cytochalasins abolished H2O2 secretion in response to rTNFs, but not FMLP, if added during, but not after, the lag period. Thus, H2O2 secretion from rTNF alpha-treated PMN appears to be a direct but delayed response that requires assembly of microfilaments during exposure to the cytokine. These results suggest that PMN adherent to intra- or extravascular surfaces may undergo a massive, prolonged respiratory burst at the command of macrophages and lymphocytes reacting to microbial products and antigens.

Abstract
Neutrophils undergo rapid morphological changes as well as metabolic perturbations when stimulated with certain phorbol esters. Stimulated cells initially exhibit pronounced projections emanating from the cell bodies, followed by rounding of the cells, reduction in granule number, and the appearance of intracellular vesicles. We show these vesicles to be derived, at least in part, from the plasmalemma. The experimental approach involved labeling stimulated and unstimulated cells with native ferritin and cationized ferritin, along with the cytochemical localization of ecto-5'-nucleotidase. The labeling patterns of the vesicles indicate that these structures are involved in both phorbol ester-stimulated adsorptive and fluid-phase endocytosis. Neutrophils stimulated with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) exhibit two distinct rates of superoxide release in which the second, prolonged level is approximately 50% of the initial rate. All-trans-retinal, which we have recently shown to stimulate O2- release but not granule exocytosis or cell vesiculation, induces a single prolonged rate of maximal O2- release. Neutrophils treated with both all-trans-retinal and TPA exhibit only a single sustained rate of maximal O2- release similar to that observed with all-trans-retinal alone. Moreover, treatment of cells with all-trans-retinal blocks the vesiculation of neutrophils induced by TPA in a dose-dependent manner. This observation provides a possible explanation for the differences in the kinetics of superoxide release.

Abstract
all-trans-Retinal was previously shown to stimulate high levels of superoxide release by guinea pig neutrophils. When the cells, previously labeled with [3H]inositol, are treated with all-trans-retinal, they exhibit a decrease in the levels of [3H]inositol phospholipids and an increase in the accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates. The maximal accumulation of inositol phosphates and the optimal rate of superoxide release occurred together at approximately 7 min after stimulation. The levels of [3H]inositol phosphates accumulated were comparable to those observed when the cells were stimulated with a chemotactic peptide. In direct measurements, using concentrations that stimulate intact cells maximally, all-trans-retinal was found not to inhibit protein kinase C from the cytosol of neutrophils significantly. This contrasts with the situation with this kinase obtained from other sources. These observations represent additional effects of vitamin A on cells.

Abstract
The effects of f-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) on neutrophils, i.e. elevation of the levels of cytoplasmic Ca2+ and intramembranous diacylglycerol, would be expected to be accompanied by translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) to the plasmalemma. However, fMLP-induced PKC translocation could hitherto be demonstrated only when cells were additionally treated with cytochalasin B. We show here that treatment of guinea pig neutrophils with fMLP alone does lead to a significant PKC translocation which can be inhibited by pertussis toxin. The translocation can be detected only if the incubation is terminated within 30 sec after addition of fMLP, the termination is rapid, e.g. by application of a freeze clamp-technique, and the concentration of Ca2+ chelators in the buffer used for lysing the cells is low.
