Altered free cytosolic calcium changes and neutrophil chemotaxis in patients with juvenile periodontitis

Abstract: Nearly 70-75% of patients with localized juvenile periodontitis (JP) have abnormal polymorphonuclear leukocytic (PMN) chemotaxis. The objective of this study was to determine whether the lower chemotactic response in PMNs from JP patients is associated with a defect in intracellular signal transduction, as measured by stimulus-induced changes in free cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) mobilization. We report that peptide chemoattractants such as N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) and the complement fragment … Show more

“…In these families, the neutrophil abnormality relating to reduced chemotaxis has been well characterized by a number of laboratories. This includes decreased chemotaxis to a number of chemotactic factors associated with reduced receptor expression on the neutrophil surface for those chemotactic factors (Van Dyke et al 1981), reduced calcium transport in LAP neutrophils (Agarwal et al 1989), increased diacylglycerols levels in stimulated LAP neutrophils, and decreased protein kinase C activity (Kurihara et al 1993). The finding that these observations are not universal in the LAP populations reported in different geographic locations, or even within the same geographic population, strongly supports the hypothesis that there are several distinct forms of disease with the same clinical presentation.…”

“…This was due to decreased Ca 2+ influx. These reduced [Ca 2+ ] i levels were associated with reduced PKC levels and defective chemotaxis [40,41]. Similarly in aged individuals, PMNL showed low [Ca 2+ ] i levels that were associated with defective chemotaxis and oxidative burst [42].…”

“…The most consistent abnormality in host response in patients with LJP is the depressed in vitro chemotaxis of peripheral blood neutrophils, first described over 20 years ago (8,9,19,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29). Subsequently, in vivo tests have confirmed the in vitro results (30)(31)(32).…”
