Abstract
Natural attenuation of organic contaminants can occur under anoxic or oxic conditions. However, the effect of the coupling anoxic-oxic process, which often happens in subsurface soil, on contaminant transformation remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) transformation in Fe-rich soil under anoxic-oxic alternation. The anoxic and oxic periods in the alternating system showed faster 2,4-DCP transformation than the corresponding control single anoxic and oxic systems; therefore, a higher transformation rate (63.4%) was obtained in the alternating system relative to control systems (27.9-42.4%). Compared to stable pH in the alternating system, the control systems presented clear OH- accumulation, caused by more Fe(II) regeneration in the control anoxic system and longer oxygenation in the control oxic system. Since 2,4-DCP was transformed by ion exchangeable Fe(II) in soil via direct reduction in the anoxic process and induced ·OH oxidation in the oxic process, OH- accumulation was unbeneficial because it competed for proton with direct reduction and inhibited •OH generation via complexing with Fe(II). However, the alternating system exhibited OH--buffering capacity via anoxic-oxic coupling processes because the subsequent oxic periods intercepted Fe(II) regeneration in anoxic periods, while shorter exposure to O2 in oxic periods avoided excessive OH- generation. These findings highlight the significant role of anoxic-oxic alternation in contaminant attenuation persistently.

Galectin-1 Cooperates with Yersinia Outer Protein (Yop) P to Thwart Protective Immunity by Repressing Nitric Oxide Production. Biomolecules 2021; 11:1636.

Abstract
Yersinia enterocolitica (Ye) inserts outer proteins (Yops) into cytoplasm to infect host cells. However, in spite of considerable progress, the mechanisms implicated in this process, including the association of Yops with host proteins, remain unclear. Here, we evaluated the functional role of Galectin-1 (Gal1), an endogenous β-galactoside-binding protein, in modulating Yop interactions with host cells. Our results showed that Gal1 binds to Yops in a carbohydrate-dependent manner. Interestingly, Gal1 binding to Yops protects these virulence factors from trypsin digestion. Given that early control of Ye infection involves activation of macrophages, we evaluated the role of Gal1 and YopP in the modulation of macrophage function. Although Gal1 and YopP did not influence production of superoxide anion and/or TNF by Ye-infected macrophages, they coordinately inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production. Notably, recombinant Gal1 (rGal1) did not rescue NO increase observed in Lgals1-/- macrophages infected with the YopP mutant Ye ∆yopP. Whereas NO induced apoptosis in macrophages, no significant differences in cell death were detected between Gal1-deficient macrophages infected with Ye ∆yopP, and WT macrophages infected with Ye wt. Strikingly, increased NO production was found in WT macrophages treated with MAPK inhibitors and infected with Ye wt. Finally, rGal1 administration did not reverse the protective effect in Peyer Patches (PPs) of Lgals1-/- mice infected with Ye ∆yopP. Our study reveals a cooperative role of YopP and endogenous Gal1 during Ye infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We examined the effects of vitamin C and E supplementation in the prevention of oxidative stress in the salivary glands of STZ-induced diabetic rats. DESIGN Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into six groups (n = 8 in each): control (C), control supplemented with vitamin C (Cvc) and E (Cve), diabetic (D), and diabetic supplemented with vitamin C (Dvc) and E (Dve). Vitamin C (150 mg/kg) and E (300 mg/kg) were daily administered for 21 days. Serum ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol levels were quantified. Glandular levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide anion (O2-), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA) and the total antioxidant status (TAS) were estimated. RESULTS Vitamin C and E levels were reduced in D group. Vitamin C decreased the levels of O2- in the salivary gland of diabetic rats. Vitamin E increased the concentration of O2- in PA gland of diabetic animals. In the SM gland of the diabetic group, MDA, SOD, GPx and TAS increased. Dve presented reduced SOD activity and increased GR, GPx, and MDA. Dve increased GPx, Gr and TAS levels. In the PA gland, MDA, SOD, CAT, GPx, GR, and TAS were similar in C and D. TAS, SOD, CAT, GPx, and GR increased in Dvc. Vitamin E supplementation resulted in increased MDA and CAT levels and reduced SOD activity. CONCLUSION In the SM glands of the diabetic rats, vitamin C supplementation improved the antioxidant system, while vitamin E acted as pro-oxidant.

Abstract
Background Oxidative stress is an imbalance between the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and endogenous antioxidants. The aetiology and pathogenesis of several oral diseases are attributed to this process. The antioxidant enzymes secreted in the saliva by submandibular glands maintain oral health through the scavenging of ROS. The objective of this work was to study the capacity of an aqueous extract of L. divaricata (AE), and its majority compound, nordihydroguariaretic acid (NDGA), to modulate the pro-oxidant/antioxidant status in submandibular glands in a model of oxidative stress induced by streptozotocin (STZ) in rats. Methods To induce oxidative stress with STZ, a group of animals was treated i.p. with 1 X PBS (control group) and other group was injected i.p. once with STZ (60 mg/kg). Ten days after the treatment, blood samples were taken from the tail vain to determine the glucose levels. Animals with glucose values ≥300 mg/ml were selected. The submandibular glands of control and STZ treated animals were incubated with either the AE (500 μg/ml) or with NDGA (1.5 μg/ml), and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl groups, ROS and RNS, and the activity and expression of peroxidase (Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were assayed. Results AE decreased the levels of MDA (##P < 0.01) and protein carbonyl groups (#P < 0.05), and modulated the levels of ROS such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)(##P < 0.01), superoxide anion (O2.-) (#P < 0.05) and nitric oxide (NO) (#P < 0.05) in relation to the modulation of Px and iNOS expression. NDGA was found to be involved in these effects. Conclusions The antioxidant activity of the AE in the submandibular glands would allow the maintenance of the antioxidant pool to prevent oral oxidative diseases.

Abstract
Stem cells are believed to maintain a specific intracellular redox status through a combination of enhanced removal capacity and limited production of ROS. In the present study, we challenge this assumption by developing a quantitative approach for the analysis of the pro- and antioxidant ability of human embryonic stem cells in comparison with their differentiated descendants, as well as adult stem and non-stem cells. Our measurements showed that embryonic stem cells are characterized by low ROS level, low rate of extracellular hydrogen peroxide removal and low threshold for peroxide-induced cytotoxicity. However, biochemical normalization of these parameters to cell volume/protein leads to matching of normalized values in stem and differentiated cells and shows that tested in the present study cells (human embryonic stem cells and their fibroblast-like progenies, adult mesenchymal stem cells, lymphocytes, HeLa) maintain similar intracellular redox status. Based on these observations, we propose to use ROS concentration averaged over the cell volume instead of ROS level as a measure of intracellular redox balance. We show that attempts to use ROS level for comparative analysis of redox status of morphologically different cells could lead to false conclusions. Methods for the assessment of ROS concentration based on flow cytometry analysis with the use of H2DCFDA dye and HyPer, genetically encoded probe for hydrogen peroxide, are discussed. Intracellular ROS level depends on the cell size. We propose to use the concept of ROS concentration instead of the ROS level. Quantification of basic redox parameters challenges the hypothesis about the highly specific redox environment in stem cells.

Abstract
Metabolic control of cellular function is significant in the context of inflammation-induced metabolic dysregulation in immune cells. Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide are one of the critical events that modulate the immune response in neutrophils. When activated, neutrophil NADPH oxidases consume large quantities of oxygen to rapidly generate ROS, a process that is referred to as the oxidative burst. These ROS are required for the efficient removal of phagocytized cellular debris and pathogens. In chronic inflammatory diseases, neutrophils are exposed to increased levels of oxidants and pro-inflammatory cytokines that can further prime oxidative burst responses and generate lipid oxidation products such as 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). In this study we hypothesized that since 4-HNE can target glycolysis then this could modify the oxidative burst. To address this the oxidative burst was determined in freshly isolated healthy subject neutrophils using 13-phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and the extracellular flux analyzer. Neutrophils pretreated with 4-HNE exhibited a significant decrease in the oxidative burst response and phagocytosis. Mass spectrometric analysis of alkyne-HNE treated neutrophils followed by click chemistry detected modification of a number of cytoskeletal, metabolic, redox and signaling proteins that are critical for the NADPH oxidase mediated oxidative burst. These modifications were confirmed using a candidate immunoblot approach for critical proteins of the active NADPH oxidase enzyme complex (Nox2 gp91phox subunit and Rac1 of the NADPH oxidase) and glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, a critical enzyme in the metabolic regulation of oxidative burst. Taken together, these data suggest that 4-HNE-induces a pleiotropic mechanism to inhibit neutrophil function. These mechanisms may contribute to the immune dysregulation associated with chronic pathological conditions where 4-HNE is generated. Phagocytosis and glycolysis are inhibited in neutrophils by 4-hydroxynonenal. Click chemistry with alkyne-HNE identifies over 100 potential protein targets. Rac1, NOX2 and GAPDH are modified by 4-HNE. The 4-HNE-dependent inhibition of neutrophil function is mediated by a pleiotropic mechanism.

Abstract
Redox processes play a key role in cells of all.organisms. These processes imply directed flows of electrons via so-called redox pairs: substances that exist in both reduced and oxidized states simultaneously within the cell. Examples of redox pairs are NAD+/NADH, NADP+/NADPH, GSSG/2GSH. Until recently, studies of redox processes in the living cells were challenged by the lack of suitable methods. Genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors provide a new way to study biological processes including redox ones. Biosensors allow real-time detection of messengers, metabolites and enzymatic activities in living systems of different complexity from cultured cells to transgenic animals. In this review, we describe the main types of known redox biosensors with examples of their use.

Abstract
The results testify to the fact that CO2 is a powerful inhibitor of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by cells (blood phagocytes and alveolar macrophages of 96 people and cells of inner organs and tissue phagocytes (of liver, brain, myocardium, lungs, kidneys, stomach, and skeleton muscles), as well as by mitochondria of the liver of 186 white mice and human tissues. Generation of ROS was determined using various methods with CO2 directly acting on the cells and bioptates and indirectly on the organism as a whole. CO2 in the concentration of 5.1% (P = 37.5 mmHg), 8.2% (P = 60.0 mmHg), and 20% (P = 146.0 mmHg) in a mixture with air (total pressure = 730 mmHg) inhibits the basal ROS generation by phagocytes on the average by 3.52, 5.69, and 10.03 times, respectively (p < 0.05), and the stimulated by corpuscular particles: (a) zymosan by 3.24, 4.43, and 7.95 times; (b)SiO2: by 2.99, 3.24, and 5.76 times (p < 0.05). This is confirmed by the feet that CO2, along with inhibiting the O2 (-) generation by cells of the various organs, including the liver, as a rule, by 2.19-4.7 times, p < 0.01 or <0.001 induces simultaneously a decrease in the O2 (-) generation by mitochondria isolated from the liver (by 1.91-3.2 times, p < 0.001). The mechanism of CO2 influence is realized, in part, by inhibition of NADPH-oxidase activity. Taken into consideration proven role of CO2 in different pathophysiological conditions, (such as endoarteritis, bronchial asthma, and infectious diseases), present findings may be of clinical interest in terms of potential implementation of CO2 donors as adjuvant therapeutics in these diseases.

Vera-Jimenez NI, Pietretti D, Wiegertjes GF, Nielsen ME. Comparative study of β-glucan induced respiratory burst measured by nitroblue tetrazolium assay and real-time luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence assay in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2013; 34:1216-1222.

Abstract
The respiratory burst is an important feature of the immune system. The increase in cellular oxygen uptake that marks the initiation of the respiratory burst is followed by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide which plays a role in the clearance of pathogens and tissue regeneration processes. Therefore, the respiratory burst and associated ROS constitute important indicators of fish health status. This paper compares two methods for quantitation of ROS produced during the respiratory burst in common carp: the widely used, single-point measurement based on the intracellular reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) and a real-time luminol-enhanced assay based on the detection of native chemiluminescence. Both assays allowed for detection of dose-dependent changes in magnitude of the respiratory burst response induced by β-glucans in head kidney cells of carp. However, whereas the NBT assay was shown to detect the production of only superoxide anions, the real-time luminol-enhanced assay could detect the production of both superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide. Only the chemiluminescence assay could reliably record the production of ROS on a real-time scale at frequent and continual time intervals for time course experiments, providing more detailed information on the respiratory burst response. The real-time chemiluminescence assay was used to measure respiratory burst activity in macrophage and neutrophilic granulocyte-enriched head kidney cell fractions and total head kidney cell suspensions and proved to be a fast, reliable, automated multiwell microplate assay to quantitate fish health status modulated by β-glucans.

Abstract
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) during phagocytosis and in response to soluble agonists. This functional response, termed oxidative burst, contributes to host defense, but it can also result in collateral damage of host tissues. To study this important PMN response, different methods have been developed that are based on the assessment of oxidative burst by measuring intracellular ROS production or formation of ROS in the extracellular space. Among the different methods that were developed, the following two are particularly widely used because of their convenience and accuracy. The first method depends on the reduction of cytochrome c, which can be assessed by photometry, while the second method relies on changes in the fluorescence properties of dihydrorhodamine 123, which can be assessed by flow cytometry.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated the relationships of neutrophil functions with lifestyle factors (namely, subjective stress, exercise habits, smoking habits, alcohol-drinking habits, and self-perceived status health) and health behavior in the Chinese urban elderly. METHODS We performed a health survey of the elderly aged 65 years or older living in Tianjin. The subjects were 42 males (69.1 ± 4.1 years old) and 41 females (69.1 ± 4.1 years old). Investigations of subjective stress, exercise habits, smoking habits, alcohol-drinking habits, and self-perceived health status were performed. The phagocytosis and superoxide productivity of neutrophils were measured by the nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction method. In addition, leukocyte count and serum total protein (TP) level were examined. RESULTS The investigations revealed the associations of health behavior (p<0.05) and self-perceived health (p<0.10) with the balance between phagocytosis and subsequent superoxide production. CONCLUSIONS The present study revealed that there were correlations of neutrophil functions with lifestyle factors (subjective stress, exercise habits, smoking habits, alcohol-drinking habits, and self-perceived status health) and health behavior in the Chinese urban elderly.

Increased cellular iron levels affect matrix metalloproteinase expression and phagocytosis in activated microglia. Neurosci Lett 2011; 500:36-40.

Abstract
Activation of microglia could be beneficial and yet simultaneously harmful depending upon nature of pathological milieu. Regardless of disease-specific etiology, iron accumulation, particularly in activated microglia, is a notable feature associated with a series of neuropathologies, including Alzheimer's diseases. Although mounting evidence supports the role of iron in oxidative brain injury, knowledge on its regulatory role in neuroinflammation is still scarce. Here, we hypothesize that cellular iron status may be involved in determining the roles of activated microglia in neuroinflammatory processes. In this study, we examined effects of iron on expression of MMPs known to be involved in nervous system inflammation and degeneration using rat microglial cell line (HAPI). Stimulation experiments were performed using lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We demonstrated by RT-PCR that increased cellular iron levels enhanced the expression of MMP-9 in activated microglia, but had no effect on MMP-1. Studies using western blot and gelatin zymography analyses demonstrated that increased cellular iron levels in activated microglia enhanced the secretion of MMP-9 and MMP-1. Taken together, these results demonstrated regulatory roles of iron in the expression of MMPs by activated microglia at the transcription and translation levels. Using a colorimetric NBT reduction assay, we showed that increased cellular iron levels impaired zymosan phagocytic activity in activated microglia. Thus, these findings further our understanding toward the consequences of iron accumulation by activated microglia in neurodegeneration and suggest a possible link between iron metabolism in activated microglia and neuroinflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Larrea divaricata Cav. (Zygophyllaceae) is a plant widely used in Argentina. MATERIAL AND METHODS We isolated different fractions of L. divaricata aqueous extract containing minor amounts of NDGA, and we analyzed these fractions on mouse macrophages. RESULTS We showed that a fraction without NDGA was capableof activating macrophages, principally through the production of mitochondrial anion superoxide and H(2)O(2). This could be important in the defense of infections. Moreover, this fraction decreased NO level suggesting an anti-inflammatory action. CONCLUSION These results indicate that NDGA was not the compound responsible for the immunomodulatory action exerted by the aqueous extract from L. divaricata.

Abstract
D-limonene is a common monoterpene found in nature. Previously, it has been demonstrated that it has antiproliferative effects on a lymphoma cell line by increasing the nitric oxide (NO) level. In the present work this mechanism is analyzed by evaluating the participation of MAP38 and ERK pathways. Limonene increased the NO levels by inducing cell apoptosis by two mechanisms: through the production of H(2)O(2) and ERK pathway activation at low concentrations, and through the inhibition of farnesylation of proteins and O(2)- production at high concentrations. Both mechanisms were related to the increase in total nitrites, and the production of oxidative stress intermediates was involved.

Abstract
Current models to study Legionella pathogenesis include the use of primary macrophages and monocyte cell lines, various free-living protozoan species and murine models of pneumonia. However, there are very few studies of Legionella spp. pathogenesis aimed at associating the role of biofilm colonization and parasitization of biofilm microbiota and release of virulent bacterial cell/vacuoles in drinking water distribution systems. Moreover, the implications of these environmental niches for drinking water exposure to pathogenic legionellae are poorly understood. This review summarizes the known mechanisms of Legionella spp. proliferation within Acanthamoeba and mammalian cells and advocates the use of the amoeba model to study Legionella pathogenicity because of their close association with Legionella spp. in the aquatic environment. The putative role of biofilms and amoebae in the proliferation, development and dissemination of potentially pathogenic Legionella spp. is also discussed. Elucidating the mechanisms of Legionella pathogenicity development in our drinking water systems will aid in elimination strategies and procedural designs for drinking water systems and in controlling exposure to Legionella spp. and similar pathogens.

Abstract
Larrea divaricata is a plant widely used in folk medicine in Argentina. This work aimed to study the mechanisms of decoction activity on the release of oxygen reactive species. Decoction increased the binding of zymosan-FITC and superoxide production. Cadmium decreased the superoxide production as well as malonate and barbital. Decoction decreased the release of hydrogen peroxide. Decoction increased the reduction of MTT but not when malonate and barbital were included. Together, decoction increased the expression of dectin-1 leading to increased superoxide production. It is possible that decoction increases the activity of peroxidase, and decreases the Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The biomedical literature is a rich source of associative information but too vast for complete manual review. We have developed an automated method of literature interrogation called "Literature Lab" that identifies and ranks associations existing in the literature between gene sets, such as those derived from microarray experiments, and curated sets of key terms (i.e. pathway names, medical subject heading (MeSH) terms, etc). RESULTS Literature Lab was developed using differentially expressed gene sets from three previously published cancer experiments and tested on a fourth, novel gene set. When applied to the genesets from the published data including an in vitro experiment, an in vivo mouse experiment, and an experiment with human tumor samples, Literature Lab correctly identified known biological processes occurring within each experiment. When applied to a novel set of genes differentially expressed between locally invasive and metastatic prostate cancer, Literature Lab identified a strong association between the pathway term "FOSB" and genes with increased expression in metastatic prostate cancer. Immunohistochemistry subsequently confirmed increased nuclear FOSB staining in metastatic compared to locally invasive prostate cancers. CONCLUSION This work demonstrates that Literature Lab can discover key biological processes by identifying meritorious associations between experimentally derived gene sets and key terms within the biomedical literature.

Abstract
Decoction and infusion of Larrea divaricata were tested at apoptotic concentrations (1 and 4 mg/ml) on peritoneal murine macrophages. Consistent changes were observed after incubation with 4 mg/ml decoction. Phagocytosis of zymosan, lysosomal enzyme activity, nitric oxide production, TNF-alpha release, and expression of CD14, TLR4, and CR3 increased significantly. Decoction at 1 and 4 mg/ml increased the binding of LPS-FITC. Apoptosis triggered by L. divaricata decoction is consequence of cell activation. The effects are independent of nordihydroguaiaretic acid. This "activation and death" could be the mechanism of L. divaricata to exert the antituberculosis effect known in folk medicine.

Abstract
Two aqueous extracts, decoction and infusion from Larrea divaricata Cav. (Zygophyllaceae) were investigated for immunomodulating activity on peritoneal macrophages (MPhi). Both extracts reduced significantly the cell viability assessed with the MTT assay at 1 and 4 mg/ml (decoction) and 0.8-4 mg/ml (infusion). Apoptotic morphology showed that at 1 and 4 mg/ml both infusion and decoction triggered an increment of the apoptosis. Pretreatment of MPhi with decoction increased significantly the phagocytosis of zymosan and Candida albicans. The production of NO was estimated as nitrite using the Griess reagent. A slight but significant increase in NO release was observed after the incubation of both extracts (0.2 mg/ml) with LPS during 48 h. As shown in western blot data MPhi cultured with infusion and LPS exhibited the stronger expression of iNOS compared with untreated cells. Both extracts (0.2 mg/ml) increased the binding of LPS-FITC to cells compared with untreated ones. The addition of Staphylococcus aureus blocked completely the binding of LPS-FITC to cells. L. divaricata stimulated the MPhi activation at 0.2 mg/ml whereas it showed a clear pro-apoptotic activity at higher concentrations. The dual effects of L. divaricata are relevant considering the use of this plant to activate the immune system.

Abstract
The detection and quantitation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) receives a great deal of interest because of their importance in a wide range of physiological and pathogenic events. Probe-assisted spectroscopy (electron spin resonance, spectrophotometry, fluorescence and luminescence) is the main tool for this application. This review discusses the properties of spectroscopic probes most commonly used for ROS detection and highlights their limitations in cellular systems. These include poor stability of some probes and/or products that may be subjected to cellular metabolism and lack of specificity in their reactions with oxidants or reductants. Additional problems often arise from undesired reactions of the probes and from their non-homogeneous distribution in the studied system, production of ROS by the probes themselves, perturbation of the systems under investigation by the probes, and artifacts due to the presence of ROS in the reaction medium. The limits imposed by these difficulties on the precise evaluation of the amounts and rates of formation of ROS are discussed critically.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that bone marrow (BM)-derived chemotactic mediators such as chemokines play key roles in hematopoietic stem cell trafficking. Lipid mediators, particularly leukotrienes, are involved in leukocyte chemotaxis during inflammation but have also been detected in the normal BM. Therefore, the effects of leukotrienes on hematopoietic progenitor cells were analyzed. Cysteinyl leukotrienes, particularly leukotriene D4 (LTD4), induced strong intracellular calcium fluxes and actin polymerization in mobilized and BM CD34(+) progenitors. Chemotaxis and in vitro transendothelial migration of CD34(+) and more primitive CD34(+)/CD38(-) cells were 2-fold increased by LTD4 at an optimum concentration of 25 to 50 nM. Accordingly, CD34(+) cells expressed the 7-transmembrane LTD4 receptor CysLT1 by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Effects of LTD4 were suppressed by the CysLT1 receptor antagonist MK-571 and reduced by pertussis toxin. In contrast, LTB4 induced strong responses only in mature granulocytes. LTD4-induced calcium fluxes were also observed in granulocytes but were not reduced by MK-571, suggesting that these effects were mediated by other receptors (eg, CysLT2) rather than by CysLT1. In addition, expression of 5-lipoxygenase, the key enzyme of leukotriene biosynthesis, was detected in both hematopoietic progenitor cells and mature leukocytes. The study concludes that the functionally active LTD4 receptor CysLT1 is preferentially expressed in immature hematopoietic progenitor cells. LTD4 released in the BM might regulate progenitor cell trafficking and could also act as an autocrine mediator of hematopoiesis. This would be a first physiologic effect of cysteinyl leukotrienes apart from the many known pathophysiologic actions related to allergy and inflammation. (Blood. 2001;97:3433-3440)

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between the increasing level of spontaneous NBT-reduction and the tendency for PMNs to marginate during experimental hemorrhagic shock in rats. Rat PMNs, isolated on Percoll density gradients or suspended in blood, were examined by chemiluminescence (CL), NBT-test and by their CD-18 expression and F-actin formation. The NBT-test generally produced higher numbers of activated PMNs when the cells were suspended in buffer than in whole blood, probably due to the scavenging properties of blood. The level of spontaneous NBT-reduction of PMNs in blood correlated with the magnitude of the NBT-response to f-MLP stimulation in blood and buffer. On the contrary, there were no significant correlations between spontaneous NBT reduction, CD18 expression and F-actin content. Thus, high levels of spontaneous NBT reduction in blood were associated with priming of the separated PMNs rather than increased rigidity (F-actin) or adhesiveness (CD18).

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to elucidate likely signal transduction pathways in activated bovine neutrophils, by comparing the effects of various inhibitors on the bovine neutrophil respiratory burst and degranulation in vitro. The protein kinase C(PKC) inhibitors staurosporine, and chelerythine, and the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist DL-propranolol, markedly inhibited opsonized zymosan (OZ) stimulated luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (LDCL). The G-protein inhibitor pertussis toxin (PT), the protein tyrosine inhibitor genistein, and the calcium channel blocker verapamil also reduced LDCL in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, the lipoxygenase inhibitor zileuton had only a slight effect, and the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin had no effect on LDCL. The effects of these inhibitors on degranulation was also examined. Staurosporine, propranolol, and pertussis toxin significantly decreased primary granule (beta-glucosaminidase) release in response to OZ. These inhibitors also significantly reduced both phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced primary and secondary granule (lactoferrin) release. Regulation of secondary granule (lactoferrin) release was complex, as it was significantly depressed by propranolol, enhanced by PT and unaffected by staurosporine. These findings suggest that PKC, beta-adrenergic receptors, G-proteins, protein tyrosine kinase(s) and Ca(2+) uptake, may all be involved in some part of the process of bovine neutrophil activation. Moreover, stimulation of LDCL and degranulation may be mediated through distinct signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
The effector mechanism of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) involves K+ channel inhibition with subsequent membrane depolarization. It remains uncertain how hypoxia modulates K+ channel activity. The similar effects of hypoxia and mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) inhibitors on metabolism and vascular tone suggest a common mechanism of action. ETC inhibitors and hypoxia may alter cell redox status by causing an accumulation of electron donors from the Krebs cycle and by decreasing the production of activated O2 species (AOS) by the ETC. We hypothesized that this shift toward a more reduced redox state elicits vasoconstriction by inhibition of K+ channels. Pulmonary artery pressure and AOS, measured simultaneously using enhanced chemiluminescence, were studied in isolated perfused rat lungs during exposure to hypoxia, proximal ETC inhibitors (rotenone and antimycin A), and a distal ETC inhibitor (cyanide). Patch-clamp measurements of whole-cell K+ currents were made on freshly isolated rat pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells during exposure to hypoxia and ETC inhibitors. Hypoxia, rotenone, and antimycin A decreased lung chemiluminescence (-62 +/- 12, -46 +/- 7, and -148 +/- 36 counts/0.1 s, respectively) and subsequently increased pulmonary artery pressure (+14 +/- 2, +13 +/- 3, and +21 +/- 3 mm Hg, respectively). These agents reversibly inhibited an outward, ATP-independent, K+ current in pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells. Antimycin A and rotenone abolished subsequent HPV. In contrast, cyanide increased AOS and did not alter K+ currents or inhibit HPV. The initial effect of rotenone, antimycin A, and hypoxia was a change in redox status (evident as a decrease in production of AOS). This was associated with the reversible inhibition of an ATP-independent K+ channel and vasoconstriction. These findings are consistent with the existence of a redox-based O2 sensor in the pulmonary vasculature.

Abstract
Phagocytosis of quartz particles by rabbit alveolar macrophages and monocytes and human granulocytes and monocytes was accompanied by stimulation of substrate free reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium to formazan. This reflects activation of an oxygen dependent bactericidal system of phagocytes and total (exogenic and endogenic) generation of active oxygen species. Low fibrogenic and cytotoxic alumina dust tended to increase formazan production by comparison with quartz dust. During phagocytosis of quartz dust by alveolar macrophages and monocytes there was no exogenic generation of superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide by these cells. By contrast, incubation of human granulocytes with quartz dust caused a significant increase in exogenic generation of superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide. Under such conditions, low fibrogenic alumina dust had no effect on hydrogen peroxide generation and substantially decreased the level of superoxide radical generation by human granulocytes. During incubation of rabbit granulocytes with quartz dust, an increase in the level of superoxide radical generation was also detected. It is considered that the differences between alveolar macrophages and granulocytes in their response to quartz dust are important from a physiological point of view. Alveolar macrophages are permanently present in pulmonary alveolae in large quantities; therefore their uncontrolled generation of superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide might immediately cause damage to pulmonary parenchyma. At the same time, destruction products from alveolar macrophages that died during phagocytosis of quartz particles contain a factor attracting granulocytes. Presence of a significant number of granulocytes in bronchopulmonary lavage fluid in cases of silicosis indicates development of a pathological process. This agrees well with the data obtained on exogenic generation of superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide by granulocytes, and on stimulation of this process due to phagocytosis of the quartz dust.

Abstract
During a therapeutic trial to treat psoriasis with either etretinate or cyclosporin A (CyA) we measured the respiratory burst activity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Six patients received 0.5-0.75 mg/kg etretinate and 14 patients 2.5-5.0 mg/kg CyA over a period of 10 weeks. The extent of psoriasis was graded by the psoriasis area-and-severity index (PASI score). The respiratory burst of PMN isolated from the peripheral blood was measured employing luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence at weeks 0, 3 and 10 and compared with that of 26 healthy control individuals. PMN were stimulated with zymosan particles, aggregated immunoglobulin (aggIg) and concanavalin A (ConA). Both treatment regimens improved psoriasis; at 10 weeks there was an approximate 40% PASI score reduction under etretinate and an 80% improvement under CyA. Before treatment the respiratory burst was abnormally high under stimulation with the three stimuli in patients (p = 0.021 to less than 0.0001). After 3 to 10 weeks PMN activity normalized in all patients and even tended to drop below values correlating with an improvement in skin lesions. We conclude that the elevated respiratory burst of PMN in psoriasis normalizes under treatment with both etretinate and CyA.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to develop a method for accurately measuring opsonic activity in the uterine secretions of the mare. Ten mares were used in the study. They ranged in ages from 6 to 19 years and were of various genital health status. Undiluted uterine secretions were collected by inserting a tampon into the uterus during estrus; serum samples were collected simultaneously Opsonic activity in the secretions and serum was analyzed in a chemiluminescence assay, in which zymosan particles were opsonized. Opsonic activity was determined as peak chemiluminescence, time to peak chemiluminescence, and total chemiluminescence (area under curve). The peak chemiluminescence was 16 to 17 times higher when uterine secretions were used for opsonization rather than when buffer was used. Compared to the opsonic activity in serum, the peak chemiluminescence was 21% (P</=0.05) lower, the time to peak chemiluminescence was 117% (P</=0.05) longer, and the total chemiluminescence over 60 minutes was 7% (P</=0.05) greater in the uterine secretions. These data show that opsonic activity in the uterus is approximately of the same magnitude as that in the circulation.

Abstract
The oxidative metabolic burst of blood monocytes and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) from 22 untreated patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) and 18 healthy subjects were studied. Monocytes and PMN were enriched by density centrifugation and in vitro activated by zymosan. The oxidative metabolism was measured by luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence (CL). The CL of the patients' monocytes and PMN was higher than that of controls (P less than 0.01 and P less than 0.05, respectively). Patients with stage II-IV HD showed an increased blood monocyte CL as compared with stage I patients (P less than 0.05). Furthermore, patients with lymphocytic depletion or mixed cellularity subtype demonstrated an increased CL of PMN as compared with the remainder. Enhanced CL of phagocytes has been observed in chronic inflammatory disease and can be induced by various serum factors such as monokines and immune complexes. The present study demonstrates an increased CL of blood-borne phagocytic cells in untreated HD. Furthermore, CL of blood monocytes and PMN correlated to tumour burden and histologic subtype, respectively.

Abstract
We have examined oxidative metabolism in phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated lymphocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) because increased oxygen free radicals would explain the DNA abnormality previously observed in these cells. Almost no oxidative activity was found in freshly isolated control or lupus lymphocytes or control lymphocytes stimulated with PHA. However, increased oxidative metabolism, measured by nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) conversion to formazan, was found in PHA-stimulated lymphocytes from 14 of 21 lupus patients. A time course study showed that NBT activity appeared in positive lupus lymphocytes at 1-2 days of PHA stimulation, increased to a maximum at 2-4 days, and diminished thereafter. NBT activity was not related to specific disease symptoms, drug therapy, or serum dsDNA, Sm, RNP, or SSB (La) antibodies. The selected population of lupus patients studied precluded conclusions about NBT activity and disease severity. However, the intensity of NBT response in stimulated lupus lymphocytes was positively correlated with the presence of serum SSA (Ro) antibody. We suggest that increased oxidative activity of SLE lymphocytes generates a chemical change in endogenous DNA in vivo and may be a primary event in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. Absence of detectable oxidative activity in stimulated lymphocytes in a subgroup of lupus patients suggests that at least two different mechanisms are associated with the altered DNA profiles observed in this disorder.

Abstract
We examined whether preincubating polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) with TNF alpha would result in an enhanced respiratory burst upon subsequent stimulation by various agents. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a known primer of PMN, was used as control. We found that both LPS (0.01 to 10.0 microgram/ml) and recombinant TNF alpha (0.001 to 1.0 microgram/ml) act as direct stimulants of PMN as measured by chemiluminescence. Sixty minutes of preincubation of PMN with 1 microgram/ml TNF alpha or 10 micrograms/ml LPS resulted in similar priming for the respiratory burst elicited by opsonized zymosan, phorbol myristate acetate, zymosan, zymosan-activated serum, aggregated immunoglobulin, and f-met-leu-phe (FMLP) depending on the method of measurement used, i.e., chemiluminescence, production of O2-, and H2O2. Priming with TNF alpha for an enhanced response to stimulation by FMLP could be abrogated by anti-TNF alpha antibody. Cell-surface receptor numbers and binding-affinity constants for FMLP remained stable under conditions leading to priming. We conclude that TNF alpha is able to prime PMN for an enhanced respiratory burst to a similar extent as with LPS. Because PMN cell-surface receptors for FMLP are unaltered by priming, the enhanced respiratory burst seems to be due to changes in intracellular metabolism.

Abstract
Oxidative metabolic burst of activated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) is most commonly investigated in clinical practice by evaluating nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction at the single cell level. Reduced NBT precipitates where the redox reaction has taken place and can be visualized as PMN-associated dark blue granules of formazan in light microscopy. Although widely used and not technically demanding, this method remains subjective and labor intensive, especially when large numbers of samples need to be investigated. We developed a new flow cytometry technique in which PMN membrane was rendered fluorescent by a short incubation with fluorescein-conjugated Concanavalin A. PMN were then incubated with NBT and increasing doses of a suitable stimulus, such as phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Formazan has a distinct peak of absorption at 520 nm that represents the peak of emission of fluorescein. As a consequence, formazan quenches the PMN-associated fluorescence. Data show that a dose-dependent reduction of fluorescence can be obtained using graded amounts of PMA in normal PMN cultures. PMN-associated fluorescence remains unchanged in control patients with chronic granulomatous (CGD) disease, a disorder characterized by a selective impairment of PMN oxidative metabolism. Electronic cell size increases upon PMA incubation in normal PMN, irrespective of the presence of NBT. Conversely, forward light scatter intensity decreases in the presence, but not in the absence, of NBT indicating that the phenomenon is due to the capacity of formazan to absorb/scatter the incident light. The present method for easily detecting NBT reducing activity at single cell level by flow cytometry makes use of commonly available, inexpensive reagents and standard instrumentation. It could become a useful test for clinical purposes.

Abstract
The functional effects directly induced by dialysis membranes on peripheral monocytes were analyzed in a plasma-free model of simulated dialysis using Cuprophan, cuprammonium rayon, polyacrylonitrile, polymethylmetacrilate and polysulphone membranes. A severe reduction of monocyte phagocytosis of IgG-coated erythrocytes was found by using Cuprophan and cuproammonium rayon. The cytofluorimetric analysis of several cell surface receptors, involved in the immune phagocytosis and recognizable by five quoted monoclonal antibodies, did not reveal any significant change. The defective phagocytosis of the IgG-coated erythrocytes by monocytes, due to the exposure to cellulose-derived membranes, was paralleled by an impaired interiorization of heat-aggregated human immunoglobulins, as analyzed by electron microscopy. The cell membrane binding of aggregated immunoglobulins was found to be unaffected. The defect was associated to a remarkably depressed generation of reactive oxygen species after Zymosan stimulation. Therefore, the defective immune phagocytosis induced by exposure of monocytes to cellulosic membranes was not due to a receptor rearrangement or an impaired binding of ingestible particles, but to a reduced internalization capacity probably related to an energy source exhaustion (as shown by the lack of response to stimuli able to induce oxidizing species production). These features are similar to those described in monocytes from acute systemic lupus erythematosus patients.

Abstract
The activation of macrophages has been reported to be associated with Ca-activated K permeability change. In order to study this permeability change in human alveolar macrophages, we examined alveolar macrophages electrophysiologically at a single channel level. We observed two types of Ca-activated K channel currents having conductances of 218 +/- 2 and 32 +/- 0.6 picosiemens in symmetrical 154 mmol/L KCl solutions. The characteristics, such as voltage dependency and Ca sensitivity, as well as channel conductance, were different between these two types of channel currents. Quinine (a blocker of Ca-activated K conductance), 0.5 mmol/L, reduced these channel currents by 45 +/- 8% and 31 +/- 8%. Quinine, 0.5 mmol/L, also inhibited chemiluminescence and leukotriene B4 release by 82 +/- 6 to 88 +/- 3% and 88 +/- 2%, respectively. These results suggest the presence of two types of Ca-activated K channels, which may be related to the release of inflammatory mediators from human alveolar macrophages.

Abstract
We examined granulocytes or polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in an HLA B8+ patient with palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). Controls included another patient with PPP, however, lacking this antigen and a healthy, HLA B8+ person. Chemiluminescence (CL) served to monitor the respiratory burst in PMN comparing as stimuli zymosan, opsonized zymosan, phorbol myristate acetate, as well as aggregated immunoglobulin (aggIg), the latter as Fc-receptor (FcR) stimulus. FcR density on PMN was determined using 125I-IgG and expressed in the form of Scatchard plots. The effects of serum on the aggIg-induced CL were also measured. We found both control individuals to respond to stimulation by aggIg as a function of a dose-dependent increase of CL. By contrast, the HLA B8+ patient with PPP failed to respond to aggIg; only the highest concentration of aggIg induced marginal CL. Conversely, stimulation by the other agents was similar in all three individuals. The patient with the functional FcR defect expressed 2.5 times more FcR/PMN than the controls. No difference emerged in comparing autologous serum with a reference normal serum on the aggIg-induced CL, ruling out saturation by serum factors alone to be a cause for the defect. In remission, the functional FcR was absent. Our results suggest a defect of signal transduction in PMN from numerically enhanced FcR to the cytosol in the patient with PPP.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) enhances the growth of human monocytic leukemia cell line JOSK-I cells, which were recently established in our laboratory and which were demonstrated to produce a high level of IL-1 constitutively, in liquid as well as semisolid culture systems. Concomitantly, IL-1 stimulated the prostaglandin E2 synthesis and nitroblue tetrazolium dye-reducing capacity of JOSK-I cells. This indicates that IL-1 may act as autocrine growth factor for monocytes, and also suggests the possibility that this autocrine stimulation may play an important role in the pathophysiology of monocytic leukemia in vivo.

Abstract
There are several kinds of cell electrophoresis. The most important are free-flow electrophoresis, scaled-up free-flow electrophoresis and column electrophoresis. All kinds of cell electrophoresis, especially free-flow electrophoresis, have been improved to a very high standard of separation accuracy, and their application possibilities are extended when antigen-specific electrophoretic cell separation is performed, or when cell electrophoresis is combined with other physical methods for cell separation. Cell electrophoresis and other physical cell separation methods have the advantage that the functional state of the cells remains virtually unchanged during the isolation procedure. With the help of cell electrophoresis monocytes, T-lymphocytes, platelets and other cells from human peripheral blood could be purified. Other human cells were enriched for immunological characterization. Furthermore, cells that secreted human plasminogen activators or human antibodies were electrophoresed to give cell fractions with increased frequencies of the cells of interest.
