Volume-dependent regulation of the respiratory burst of activated human neutrophils

Abstract: The effect of incubation medium osmolality on the respiratory burst of human neutrophils was studied using luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (CL) as an indicator of burst activity. Neutrophils were stimulated with N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP), phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), the calcium ionophore A23187, thermoaggregated IgG (IgGn), and opsonized zymosan (OZ). It was shown that increasing the osmolality of the incubation medium from 320 up to 420 mosM decreased the A23187- and OZ-induced CL responses b… Show more

“…Hypertonicity has been previously shown to interfere with several neutrophil functions including superoxide production (26), phagocytosis (27), adhesion, and transmigration (23,28). In addition to these inhibitory effects on neutrophil function, the present studies show that shrinkage actively promotes the premature loss of an important surface adhesion molecule.…”

“…A reduced flux of glucose through the pentose phosphate shunt decreases the generation of NADPH which is required by the NADPH oxidase for O 2 -formation [129]. Along these lines, osmotic cell shrinkage has been shown to inhibit the oxidative burst in leukocytes [132]. Other mechanisms conceivably contributing to the protective effect of cell shrinkage may be accumulation of stabilizing cellular osmolytes [133], inhibition of the volume regulatory tyrosine kinase Lck 56 [134] and activation of volume regulatory Na + /H + exchanger with subsequent alkalinization.…”

“…It should be stressed, however, that the impact of cell-volume perturbations on cellular physiology is not exclusively negative. Thus cell volume serves as a physiological modulator of cellular functions in hepatocytes, epithelial cells, brain glial cells, and a variety of migrating cells (20,21,(23)(24)(25)29). In the kidneys, the transepithelial transport of electrolytes across the basolateral and apical membranes of secretory cells is thought to be coordinated by changes in cellular volume that strongly regulate the activity of volume-sensitive K ϩ and Cl Ϫ channels as well as ion carriers, including the Na…”
