ABSTRACT: PMNs were isolated from venous blood of healthy individuals in accordance with a protocol approved by the Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Human PMNs (107) were cultured in RPMI/H -/+ 100 ng/ml GM-CSF at 37oC and 5% CO2 for up to 24 h as indicated. At the indicated time points, tissue culture medium was aspirated from each well and PMNs were lysed with RLT buffer (Qiagen). Purification of PMN RNA and subsequent preparation of labeled cRNA target was performed as described in Methods. Labeling of samples, GeneChip hybridization (Hu95Av2 oligonuceotide microarrays) and scanning were performed according to standard Affymetrix protocols (see http://www.affymetrix.com/support/technical/manual/expression_manual.affx). Experiments were performed in triplicate, using PMNs from three healthy individuals for each treatment. These analyses allowed comparison of global gene expression in human neutrophils during spontaneous apoptosis with that in cells cultured with human GM-CSF. Keywords: time course

Project description:Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were obtained from healthy individuals in accordance with protocols approved by the Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects at the University of Minnesota and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. PMNs (107) were combined on ice with live S. aureus (108) or with live or heat-killed A. phagocytophilum (bacteria isolated from 5x106 infected HL60 cells for a ratio of 1 infected HL60 cell: 2 PMNs, ~ 5-20 A. phagocytophilum: PMN) in wells of a 12-well tissue culture plate (pre-coated with 20% autologous normal human serum). Unstimulated control assays received either buffer (for S. aureus comparisons) or clarified HL60 lysate (for A. phagocytophilum comparisons). Plates were centrifuged at 350 x g for 8 min at 4oC to synchronize phagocytosis and incubated at 37 deg. C in a CO2 incubator for the indicated times. At the indicated times, tissue culture medium was aspirated from the plate and PMNs were lysed directly with RLT buffer (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Purification of PMN RNA and subsequent preparation of labeled cRNA target was performed as described in Methods. Labeling of samples, hybridization of cRNA with HU133A oligonucleotide arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA), and scanning were performed according to standard Affymetrix protocols ( http://www.affymetrix.com/pdf/expression_manual.pdf ). Experiments were performed in triplicate, using PMNs from three healthy individuals for each treatment. Keywords = HUMAN NEUTROPHILS BACTERIAL APOPTOSIS GENE REGULATION Keywords: ordered
Project description:Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were obtained from healthy individuals (Healthy1, Healthy2, Healthy3, and Healthy4) or patients with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (XCGD1, XCGD2, XCGD3, XCGD4, XCGD5, and XCGD6). The studies were performed in accordance with a protocol approved by the Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects at the University of Iowa. All studies were conducted according to Declaration of Helsinki principles. PMNs (107) were combined with or without IgG and C3bi-coated latex beads (8 x 107) in wells of a 12-well tissue culture plate (pre-coated with 20% normal human serum) and centrifuged at 350 x g for 8 min at 4oC to synchronize phagocytosis. For the purpose of these studies, activated or "Stimulated" PMNs are defined as those that have been stimulated by phagocytosis of IgG- and C3bi-coated latex beads. "Control" PMNs are defined as resting cells or those left unstimulated throughout the time-course. Following centrifugation, plates were incubated at 37 deg. C in a CO2 for the indicated times. At the indicated times, tissue culture medium was aspirated from the plate and PMNs were lysed directly with RLT buffer (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Purification of PMN RNA and subsequent preparation of labeled cRNA target (12 g) was performed as described in Methods. Labeling of samples, hybridization of cRNA with Hu95Av2 oligonucleotide arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA), and scanning were performed according to standard Affymetrix protocols. Gene expression in healthy control and XCGD individuals was always compared at the same time points after phagocytosis Keywords = HUMAN PMN CHRONIC GRANULOMATOUS DISEASE NEUTROPHILS Keywords: parallel sample
Project description:This study tested the hypothesis that recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rGM-CSF) enhances polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) via IL-1β to improve the prognosis of secondary infection in sepsis. The latter stage of sepsis is prone to induce immunosuppression, resulting in secondary fatal infections. rGM-CSF has become a way for sepsis-induced immunosuppression due to its immunomodulatory effect. However, the functional impact of GM-CSF on PMNs in sepsis remains obscure. This study aimed to study the role of rGM-CSF on the bactericidal ability of PMNs in septic mice, assessing its effect on the prognosis of secondary pneumonia, and explore the mechanism of rGM-CSF by intervening PMNs in patients with sepsis. The C57BL/6J sepsis mouse model was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). rmGM-CSF was used in vivo when mice developed immunosuppression, which was characterized by abnormal bactericidal function of PMNs in peripheral blood. rmGM-CSF improved the prognosis of secondary pneumonia and reversed the function of PMNs. PMNs isolated by Percoll from septic patients were treated by rhGM-CSF in vitro. The expression of CD11b, reactive oxygen species (ROS), phagocytosis and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) release in PMNs were enhanced by rhGM-CSF treatments. Whole-transcriptomic sequencing of mouse PMNs indicated that recombinant GM-CSF increased the expression of il1b gene in PMNs. Blocking and inhibiting IL-1β release effectively counteracted the enhancing effect of GM-CSF on the bactericidal function of PMNs. RmGM-CSF enhances the bactericidal function of PMNs in vivo and improves the prognosis of secondary pneumonia in septic mice, and recombinant GM-CSF increases IL-1β precursor reserves, which, if stimulated, can rapidly enhance the bactericidal capacity of PMNs.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus strain MW2 was exposed to the following neutrophil microbicides, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and azurophilic granule proteins. At the indicated time points, bacterial cultures were centrifuged and bacteria were lysed with RLT buffer (Qiagen) using a FastPrep system. Purification of MW2 RNA and subsequent preparation of labeled cDNA target was performed as described in Methods. Labeling of samples, GeneChip hybridization and scanning were performed according to standard Affymetrix protocols. Experiments were performed in triplicate, using three bacterial cultures from separate days for each treatment. These analyses provide an enhanced view of the mechanisms used by CA-MRSA to circumvent destruction by the human innate immune system. Keywords: time course with three treatments
Project description:Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections are often caused by strains encoding Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). PVL can cause lysis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and other myeloid cells in vitro, a function considered widely as the primary means by which PVL might contribute to disease. However, at sublytic concentrations PVL can function as a PMN agonist. To better understand this phenomenon, we investigated the ability of PVL to alter human PMN function. PMNs exposed to PVL had enhanced capacity to produce superoxide in response to N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF), but unlike priming by lipopolysaccharide, this response did not require Toll-like receptor signal transduction. On the other hand, there was subcellular redistribution of NADPH oxidase components in PMNs following exposure of these cells to PVL - a finding consistent with priming. Priming of PMNs with other agonists such as IL-8 or GM-CSF altered the ability PVL to cause formation of pores in the plasma membranes of these cells. Microarray analysis revealed significant changes in the human PMN transcriptome following exposure to PVL, including up-regulation of molecules that regulate the inflammatory response. Consistent with the microarray data, mediators of the inflammatory response were released from PMNs after stimulation with PVL. We conclude that exposure of human PMNs to sublytic concentrations of PVL elicits a proinflammatory response that is regulated in part at the level of gene expression. We propose that PVL-mediated priming of PMNs enhances the host innate immune response.
