Alveolar macrophages (AM) mediate lung inflammation by producing lipid and peptide molecules that attract neutrophils (PMN) to the lung. Recently we described two porcine proteins called alveolar macrophage-derived chemotactic factors, AMCF-I and -II, that are potent, efficacious, and specific PMN chemoattractants both in vitro and in vivo. We report here the cloning of the full-length cDNAs which code for each protein. Porcine AM were stimulated for 4 h in vitro with Escherichia coli endotoxin (LPS), and a cDNA library was created from poly(A)(+)-selected mRNA. Specific oligonucleotide probes for AMCF-I and AMCF-II were amplified from the porcine AM cDNA library by the polymerase chain reaction using degenerate oligonucleotide primer pairs derived from the N-terminal amino acid sequences of the proteins. These probes were used to isolate 2 full-length cDNAs of 1466 (AMCF-I) and 1515 (AMCF-II) base pairs. Both cDNAs code for proteins with four cysteine residues containing the C-X-C sequence characteristic of the intercrine-alpha family of neutrophil chemoattractants. AMCF-I shares 74% identity with human IL-8 and 84% identity with rabbit IL-8, and likely represents the porcine homologue of IL-8. By contrast, AMCF-II has no obvious human homologue. AMCF-II shares 53% identity with human neutrophil activating peptide 2. Its shared identity with the GRO-related proteins is as high as 61% (rat CINC/GRO), and its shared identity with the 78 amino acid epithelial cell-derived neutrophil activator (ENA-78) is 67%. AMCF-II may represent a new member of the intercrine-alpha family of neutrophil chemoattractants.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail.
