Phagocytes limit replication or kill ingested organisms by producing toxic reactive oxygen and nitrogen species via NADPH oxidase and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The present experiments were to investigate the production and the possible roles of superoxide, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) in the MQ-NCSU chicken macrophage cell line infected with Salmonella in vitro. After infection, intracellular Salmonella viable counts remained constant until 24 h post infection (PI) and started to decline from 48 h PI. Infection of cells with S. Typhimurium, S. Enteritidis and S. Gallinarum, as well as exposure to S. Enteritidis LPS induced low, but significant concentrations of superoxide 1 to 2 h PI, as determined by reduction of ferricytochrome c. There was no difference in superoxide production in infected cells and control cells after 4 h. Increased H2O2 was observed from cells infected with all the different Salmonella species between 2 and 3 h of infection. Nitrite was always greater in infected cells compared to uninfected cells at all times. However, Salmonella was not completely eliminated from the cells though these cells are capable of eliciting a noticeable oxidative burst response and great nitrosative responses, indicating that a strong oxidative burst (and other mechanism/s) is essential for the elimination of intracellular Salmonella. 相似文献

This report describes the successful adaptation of the Israeli isolate of Ehrlichia canis on a continuous mouse macrophage cell line (J774.A1). Successful infection of the J774.AI cells was first judged by the direct immunofluorescence antibody test using an anti-E. canis-IgG:FITC conjugate. A particular property of infected J774.A1 cells was the ability to reestablish after harvesting of the monolayer by scaping. Infected cells were used as antigen for immunofluorescence antibody tests (IFA), and the results compared well with those of DH82 cells. It was concluded that the J774.A1 continuous cell line could serve as an alternate propagation cell line for E. canis organisms. 相似文献

LaBranche, T. P., Ehrich, M. F., Eyre, P. Characterization of bovine neutrophil β2‐adrenergic receptor function. J. vet. Pharmacol. Therap. doi: 10.1111/j.1365‐2885.2009.01143.x. This study compares bovine leukocyte β‐adrenergic receptor densities to that of the rat, demonstrates for the first time a functional β2‐adrenergic receptor signaling pathway in steer neutrophils, and investigates the effect of an inflammatory stimulus on that signaling pathway. The β1‐/β2‐adrenergic antagonist [3H]CGP‐12177 demonstrated that rat lymphocyte specific binding‐site density was highest, followed by steer and dairy cow lymphocytes, and lastly steer and dairy cow neutrophils. The β2‐adrenergic agonist terbutaline stimulated steer neutrophil adenosine 3,5‐cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production, an effect increased by inclusion of ≥1 × 10?8 m phorbol 12‐myristate 13‐acetate (PMA), an activator of protein kinase C. Both terbutaline and the nonselective phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3‐isobutyl‐1‐methylxanthine (IBMX) independently decreased steer neutrophil superoxide anion production in a concentration‐dependent manner, with 1 × 10?4 m IBMX enhancing both the potency and efficacy of the terbutaline effect (up to 74% reduction in superoxide anion production). Superoxide anion production was also reduced by the synthetic cAMP analog 8‐bromo‐cAMP, which increased the potency of the IBMX effect on superoxide anion production. Taken together, these data demonstrate the presence of a β2‐adrenergic receptor signaling pathway in bovine neutrophils much like that described in other animal species, as well as the potential for an inflammatory stimulus to alter its function. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether nitric oxide (NO) mediates tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha influence on the bovine endometrium. TNFalpha influence on the bovine endometrium is limited to the stromal cells. Therefore, it was interesting to find out whether NO production by the stromal cells, stimulated by TNFalpha might influence the endometrial epithelium. Moreover, we investigated the intracellular mechanisms of TNFalpha- and NO-regulated prostaglandin (PG) F(2alpha) and PGE(2) synthesis. Epithelial and stromal cells from the bovine endometrium (Days 2-5 of the oestrous cycle) were separated by means of enzymatic dispersion and cultured for 6-7 days in 48-well plates. The confluent endometrial cells were exposed to a NO donor (S-NAP; 1-1000 microM) for 24 h. S-NAP strongly stimulated PGE(2) production in both bovine endometrial cell types (P<0.001). The effect of SNAP on PGF(2alpha) production was limited only to the stromal cells (P<0.05). To study the intracellular mechanisms of TNFalpha and NO action, stromal cells were incubated for 24 h with TNFalpha or S-NAP and with NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor (L-NAME; 10 microM) or an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (IBMX; 10 microM). When the cells were exposed to TNFalpha in combination with NOS inhibitor (L-NAME), TNFalpha-stimulated PGs production was reduced (P<0.05). The inhibition of enzymatic degradation of cGMP by IBMX augmented the actions of S-NAP and TNFalpha on PGs production (P<0.05). The overall results suggest that TNFalpha augments PGs production by bovine endometrial stromal cells partially via induction of NOS with subsequent stimulation of NO-cGMP formation. NO also stimulates PGE(2) production in epithelial cells. 相似文献

The effects of nitric oxide (NO) on the functionality of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in bovine milk or blood were investigated. In 2 experiments, mastitis was induced by infusing both hind quarters with saline containing Escherichia coli endotoxins. In addition, the left hind quarter was infused with aminoguanidine, an inhibitor of the inducible form of NO synthase (iNOS). At various times after infusion, somatic cells were isolated from milk samples, and superoxide (O2-) production induced by phorbol myristate acetate was evaluated. In both experiments, the addition of aminoguanidine had no inhibitory effect on the number of milk somatic cells or on their O2- production. The effect of NO and iNOS inhibitors on the functionality of bovine PMNs isolated from blood was investigated in vitro. The neutrophils did not produce NO. A neutrophil:monocyte co-culture system was used to study the effect of NO derived from monocytes on O2- production by bovine neutrophils. Neither NO derived from activated monocytes nor the iNOS inhibitors aminoguanidine and L-N6-(1-iminoethyl)lysine had an effect on the ability of bovine neutrophils to release O2-. Moreover, aminoguanidine did not affect the ability of bovine neutrophils to phagocytose bacteria. These results suggest that inhibition of NO release during inflammation does not interfere with the migration of immune cells to the site of infection or the ability of these cells to destroy pathogens. Thus, NO does not appear to play a major role in the control of the functions of bovine neutrophils. 相似文献

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the primary etiological agent of enzootic pneumonia in swine. Lipid-associated membrane proteins (LAMP) of mycoplasma are the main pathogenicity factors in mycoplasma diseases. In this study, we investigated the effects of M. hyopneumoniae LAMP on porcine alveolar macrophage (PAM) 3D4/21 cell line. Apoptotic features, such as chromatin condensation and apoptotic bodies, were observed in LAMP-treated PAM 3D4/21 cells. Moreover, LAMP significantly increased the number of TUNEL positive apoptotic cells in PAM 3D4/21 cells compared with the untreated control. In addition, flow cytometric analysis using dual staining with annexin-V-FITC and propidium iodide (PI) showed that LAMP of M. hyopneumoniae induced a time-dependent apoptosis in PAM 3D4/21 cells. Moreover, increased levels of superoxide anion production and activated caspase-3 in PAM 3D4/21 cells were observed after exposure to LAMP. Increased production of nitric oxide (NO) was also confirmed in the cell supernatants. Besides, apoptotic rates increase and caspase-3 activation were suppressed by NOS inhibitor or antioxidant. It is suggested that LAMP of M. hyopneumoniae induced apoptosis in porcine alveolar macrophage via NO production, superoxide anion production, and caspase-3 activation. 相似文献

A role for balance of interferon-gamma and interleukin-4 production in protective immunity against Neospora caninum infection 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
A suitable balance in the production of Th1/Th2-type cytokines has a crucial role in the control of microbial infections. We investigated cytokine production patterns and effects during Neospora caninum infection, based on two mouse models and an in vitro system. In the acute infection of N. caninum, BALB/c-background IFN-gamma-deficient mice that were sensitive to the N. caninum infection showed high levels of IL-10 production, whereas significant levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) production were observed in resistant wild type mice. BALB/c mice vaccinated with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing N. caninum surface protein NcSRS2 resisted parasite spread throughout the body, low levels of IFN-gamma production and high levels of IL-4 production were observed compared to unvaccinated animals. The treatment of N. caninum-infected cells with IFN-gamma or IL-10 decreased the host-cell viability in an in vitro system using mouse macrophage J774A.1 cells. On the other hand, IL-4, but not IL-10 administration, increased the viability of N. caninum-infected and IFN-gamma-treated cells. In the light of the balance of Th1/Th2-type cytokine production, an IFN-gamma/IL-4 balance may have a crucial role for the control of cellular responses against the parasite invasion. 相似文献

Salmonella spp. is one of the major causes of food-borne illness in humans, and Salmonella enteritidis (SE) infection in commercial poultry is a world-wide problem. Here we have investigated the in vitro immune-modulating effects of β 1-4 mannobiose (MNB), which was previously found to prevent SE infection in vivo in chickens, using chicken macrophage (MQ-MCSU) cells. Treatment of MQ-NCSU cells with MNB dose-dependently increased both phagocytic activity and Salmonella-killing activity of macrophages, with the highest reduction in SE viability observed at a concentration of 40 μg/ml at 48 h post-infection. Likewise, both hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and nitric oxide (NO) production were increased in a dose-dependent manner by MNB. Gene expression analysis of MNB-treated macrophages revealed significant increases in the expression of iNOS, NOX-1, IFN-γ, NRAMP1, and LITAF, genes critical for host defense and antimicrobial activity, when compared to untreated cells. This data confirms that MNB possesses potent innate immune-modulating activities and can up-regulate antibacterial defenses in chicken macrophages. 相似文献

Pretreatment of chicken bone marrow macrophages and embryo fibroblasts with supernatants containing chicken interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) for 24 hr prior to inoculation inhibited intracellular Eimeria tenella replication, measured by [3H] uracil incorporation. The supernatants (Sns) were obtained from culture of lymphoblastoid cells transformed by a reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) and chicken splenocytes stimulated with concanavalin A (Con A). The mechanisms of the E. tenella growth inhibitory activity induced by Sn REV and Sn Con A in chicken macrophages and fibroblasts were studied. Addition of oxygen scavengers (superoxide dismutase, D-mannitol, DABCO, benzoic acid, L-histidine hydrochloride) was able to overcome the inhibition of E. tenella replication after pretreatment with Sn REV or Sn Con A in macrophage cultures but not in fibroblast cultures. Nitric oxide (NO) synthesis was induced in macrophage culture treated with Sn REV or Sn Con A but not in fibroblast culture. Addition of NG monomethyl-L-arginine, an NO synthase inhibitor together with the supernatants was also able to overcome inhibition of E. tenella replication in macrophage culture. On the other hand, addition of L-tryptophan to Sn REV- or Sn Con A-treated fibroblasts was able to reverse the inhibitory effect on E. tenella replication. In conclusion, production of inorganic NO or toxic oxygen intermediates may be involved in the E. tenella growth inhibitory activity of chicken macrophages pretreated with supernatants containing an IFN-gamma activity, and cellular tryptophan depletion may be involved for chicken fibroblasts, thus matching the mechanisms of the IFN-gamma-induced growth inhibitory activity for protozoans in mammals. 相似文献

Phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced delayed-type hypersensitivity is an immunocompetent trait considered an indicator of cell-mediated immune or T-cell responses. Divergent selection was performed to generate high and low lines for response to PHA-P. Extreme-responder birds of the F2 generation in each line were used to study possible differences in macrophage activity and the associated functional genes. To evaluate macrophage activity, nitric oxide (NO) was estimated both systemically in serum and in in vitro monocyte culture. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the differential mRNA expression patterns of iNOS and MIP-1beta in monocyte culture, whereas T(H)1 cytokines (IL-2 and IFN-gamma) were studied in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) at different time intervals after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction. The high line showed strong systemic, as well as in vitro NO production, compared to the low line, upon stimulation with NDV and LPS, similar to early and high iNOS mRNA expression. Following the pattern of iNOS gene expression, an early strong expression of cytokines with powerful iNOS-inducing action, such as IFN-gamma and the chemokine MIP-1beta, was observed in the high line. In contrast, for response to PHA-P, low expression of IL-2 was observed in the high compared to the low line. In conclusion, the study revealed that divergent selection for response to PHA-P resulted in a divergent effect on T(H)1 cell activity, resulting in altered macrophage function in chickens. Selection, based on response to PHA-P, could lead to more resistant birds or birds with an enhanced immune response. 相似文献

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate from green tea negatively affects swine granulosa cell function 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The use of herbs as additives in livestock nutrition as an alternative to antibiotics is becoming a new goal in animal production. It is known that green tea exerts antimicrobial activity owing to specific flavonoid compounds named catechins, primarily represented by epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). Remarkably, despite many potential benefits of green tea and EGCG consumption, it is also important to get an insight on the possible reproductive-related consequences of feeding supplementation. To this purpose, granulosa cells were harvested from follicles > 5mm and treated with 5 and 50 microg/ml of EGCG in order to evaluate the effects on the main parameters of granulosa cell function: steroidogenesis, by measuring progesterone and estradiol-17beta production, and proliferation, one of the major feature of ovarian follicular growth. Moreover, as the genesis of new vessels has been demonstrated to be fundamental for follicle development, we evaluated the effect of EGCG on the production of the main angiogenetic factor, VEGF, by swine granulosa cells. Finally, since reactive oxygen species (ROS) might be involved in the control of female reproductive activity, we studied the effect of EGCG on superoxide anion (O2-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production by swine granulosa cells and on the activity of the scavenging enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). EGCG significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited proliferation, steroidogenesis, VEGF and O2- production by swine granulosa cells; on the contrary, H2O2 levels and SOD activity were stimulated (p < 0.05) by the catechin. Therefore, since our data demonstrate that EGCG has a negative effect on reproductive performances in swine, feeding supplementation should be carefully considered. 相似文献

奶牛乳腺上皮细胞(BMECs)在奶牛泌乳期代谢旺盛,导致活性氧(ROS)大量产生,从而诱发氧化应激。辣木叶多糖(MLP)能有效清除ROS和自由基,但其是否具有缓解BMECs氧化损伤的潜力尚不清楚。因此,本文以MLP为添加剂,探究其对过氧化氢(H2O2)诱导BMECs氧化损伤的保护作用。本试验首先将分离的BMECs置于含有不同浓度H2O2的培养基中培养2 h建立氧化损伤模型,以确定H2O2的适宜浓度;随后在培养基中加入不同浓度MLP溶液培养BMECs 2 h,以确定MLP适宜浓度;最终选用浓度为500μmol/L的H2O2和4 mg/mL的MLP用于本试验。试验设置4个组,分别为对照组1(BMECs)、对照组2(BMECs+MLP)、损伤组(BMECs+H2O2)、保护组(BMECs+MLP+H2O2),每组3个重复。试验对BMECs中ROS数量、BMECs凋亡以及BMECs中过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性和丙二醛(MDA)含量进行检测。结果表明:1)ROS检测结果显示,MLP抑制了细胞内ROS的生成。2)Hochest33258染色结果与透射电镜观察结果显示,MLP降低了BMECs的凋亡率,同时保持了细胞膜和细胞结构完整性。3)试剂盒检测结果显示,MLP提高了BMECs中CAT、GSH-Px和SOD活性,同时降低了MDA含量。综上所述,MLP可有效减缓BMECs凋亡,提高其抗氧化能力。 相似文献

Utilizing RNA interference technology with siRNA in the HD11 macrophage cell line, we determined how the inhibition or knock-down of the iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase) gene affected IFN-gamma-induced macrophage production of nitric oxide (NO) and mRNA expression of genes involved in this biological pathway in the chicken. Chicken macrophages produce NO when stimulated with recombinant chicken IFN-gamma, however, when transfected with iNOS siRNAs, the production of NO is significantly decreased. We observed a 14-28% reduction in NO production by IFN-gamma-stimulated HD11 cells at 48h after initial siRNA transfection compared to non-transfected IFN-gamma-stimulated macrophages. Significant knock-down of iNOS mRNA expression (15 to 50-fold lower) was observed for each of four iNOS siRNAs, when compared to non-transfected IFN-gamma-stimulated macrophages and to those treated with a negative control siRNA. The IFN-gamma-stimulated chicken macrophages transfected with iNOS siRNAs did not show altered levels of mRNA expression for genes involved in IFN-gamma signaling and iNOS pathways (IL-1beta, IL-6, IFN-gamma, TGF-beta4, or SOCS-3) suggesting that the observed decrease in NO production is a direct result of siRNA mediated knock-down of iNOS, rather than IFN-gamma-induced changes in the other genes tested. 相似文献

In contrast to mammalian systems, avian species lack a resident or harvestable macrophage population in the abdominal exudate. Peritoneal macrophages in the chicken can be elicited if an inflammatory agent such as sephadex is injected. This study examines the kinetics of different macrophage populations, derived by different methods of isolation and from different hosts, with respect to the elicited oxidative burst upon infection with host-adapted Salmonella serotypes.
The nature of the oxidative burst elicited by murine and avian-derived and cell line macrophages was determined after stimulation with phorbol myristate (PMA), zymosan A, and Salmonella serotypes. Both murine and chicken peritoneal macrophages, chicken blood monocytes and corresponding cell lines, J774A.1 and HD-11, were unable to produce a detectable chemiluminescent (CL) response after interaction with Salmonella using the luminescent probe luminol. However, both PMA and zymosan A induced a CL response in all cell types, with PMA eliciting a higher and earlier peak response (pkH) than zymosan A. Lucigenin-enhanced CL in both murine and chicken macrophages was achieved with PMA, zymosan A and Salmonella serotypes. In this case, zymosan A induced higher responses than PMA. In the peritoneal macrophages of both hosts, there were no significant differences in the oxidative burst induced by the different Salmonella serotypes. However, the J774A.1 (murine) cells demonstrated significant differences, with S. enterica serotype Choleraesuis (S. choleraesuis and S. gallinarum producing the highest response. In the HD-11 (chicken) cells, S. choleraesuis and S. dublin elicited the higher CL. With both cell lines, S. abortusovis failed to induce an appreciable CL response.
In these experiments it was demonstrated that oxidative burst was not detectable in monocytes/macrophage populations using luminol, which suggests a link to the lack of a myeloperoxidase system in these cells. Lucigenin-enhanced CL appeared independent from the myeloperoxidase system, indicating production of another oxidative species compared with luminol. No discernable effect of host specificity with regard to Salmonella serotype and respective host was seen in host-derived or cell line macrophages, and cell line macrophages displayed altered functional characteristics with regard to oxidative burst in comparison with their primary counterparts. 相似文献

The adherence of neutrophils from bronchopneumonic calves to nylon fibres and the influence of this adherence on O2- and H2O2 production were studied. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes from bronchopneumonic calves were found to produce much more superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide than neutrophils from healthy animals. A higher production of these compounds was observed in granulocytes adhering to nylon fibres than in cells in suspension. It is suggested that oxygen radicals production induced by the contact of granulocytes with a solid surface plays a role in the destruction of endothelium in vivo. 相似文献

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) invasion of host cells is a complicated process of interaction between parasites and host cells. In the present study we investigated the alterations of free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and cytoskeletons in phagocytic and non-phagocytic host cells and arachidonic acid (AA) concentration in cells supernatant during T. gondii invasion. T. gondii invasion induced significant elevation of intracellular [Ca(2+)](i) in phagocytic cells (J774A.1) but not in non-phagocytic cells (L929). Pre-treatment of J774A.1 cells with Phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor (U73122), or Ca(2+) chelators (EGTA, BAPTA/AM) did not block elevations of [Ca(2+)](i) but the elevations were lower and of shorter duration than that in untreated cells. Pre-treatment of tachyzoites with Phospholipases A (PLA) inhibitors (4-BPB and AACOCF3) resulted in a similar pattern of increasing of [Ca(2+)](i) as that in Ca(2+) chelators treated cells. Agglutinations of microfilaments were observed in J774A.1 cells but not in L929 cells. No changes of microtubules were observed in either cell. Treatment of cells with cytoskeleton inhibitors (colchicines, cytochalasin-D) resulted in reduced cell infection ratios. AA concentration in J774A.1 cells supernatant reached 8.44-fold of basal concentration after T. gondii infection and those in 4-BPB or AACOCF3 pre-treated cells reached 7.70-fold and 8.09-fold of basal concentration, respectively. However, elevation of AA concentrations induced by 4-BPB or AACOCF3 treated tachyzoites were 3.02-fold and 2.65-fold of basal AA concentration. AA concentration in L929 cells supernatant reached 5.02-fold of basal concentration after T. gondii infection and those in 4-BPB or AACOCF3 pre-treated cells reached 4.75-fold and 4.78-fold of basal concentration, respectively. However, elevation of AA concentrations induced by 4-BPB or AACOCF3 treated tachyzoites were 2.06-fold and 2.43-fold of basal AA concentration. Results indicated that elevations of [Ca(2+)](i) and AA induced by T. gondii invasion were from both host cells and parasites. T. gondii invasion activated host cell PLC and triggered the PLC-PKC signal pathway, which resulted in the flowing of extracellular Ca(2+) and the releasing of intracellular Ca(2+) pool. Elevated [Ca(2+)](i) induced reorganization of host cell microfilaments. The invasion also activated secretory PLA(2) (sPLA(2)) and cytosolic PLA(2) (cPLA(2)) of the parasite to release AA, which increased the permeability of cell membrane. 相似文献
