Monocyte/Macrophage-Derived Microparticles Up-Regulate Inflammatory Mediator Synthesis by Human Airway Epithelial Cells

Abstract: Cell-derived microparticles (MP) are membrane fragments shed by virtually all eukaryotic cells upon activation or during apoptosis that play a significant role in physiologically relevant processes, including coagulation and inflammation. We investigated whether MP derived from monocytes/macrophages have the potential to modulate human airway epithelial cell activation. Monocytes/macrophages were isolated from the buffy coats of blood donors by Ficoll gradient centrifugation, followed by overnight culture of t… Show more

“…We have previously demonstrated that stimulation of human monocytes/macrophages with the calcium ionophore, A23187, or with histamine, causes MP shedding, and that incubation of these MP with lung epithelial cells results in upregulation of proinflammatory mediator synthesis, including IL-8 and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 [6]. IL-8 is a potent chemoattractant for neutrophils involved in the pathogenesis of the inflammatory response typical of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).…”
