CXC chemokines play a central role in regulation of neutrophil activation and chemotaxis. Because the chemotactic responses of neutrophils are impaired after phagocytosis, we explored the effect of phagocytic stimuli on the expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8) receptors, CXCR1 and CXCR2, in human neutrophils. After phagocytosis of opsonized yeast, the expression of CXCR1 and CXCR2 was substantially down-regulated and was accompanied by reduced Ca(++) responses to corresponding ligands, IL-8 and neutrophil-activating peptide-2 (NAP-2). The levels of CXCR1 and CXCR2 mRNA were constant during phagocytic stimulation of neutrophils. Confocal microscopy revealed that CXCR reduction was not via internalization. Metalloproteinase inhibitor, 1,10-phenantroline, prevented the reduction of CXCRs induced by phagocytosis, indicating that proteolytic degradation may be responsible for down-regulation. These observations suggest that down-regulation of CXCR expression may substantially reduce the responsiveness of phagocytosing neutrophils to CXC chemokines.

D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002634 Chemotaxis, Leukocyte The movement of leukocytes in response to a chemical concentration gradient or to products formed in an immunologic reaction. Leukotaxis,Leukocyte Chemotaxis
D003600 Cytosol Intracellular fluid from the cytoplasm after removal of ORGANELLES and other insoluble cytoplasmic components. Cytosols
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
