Secretion of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) isoenzymes by human blood monocyte-derived macrophages in response to zymosan and human recombinant interferon-gamma was studied. Macrophages were found to release NAG in response to zymosan, but interferon-gamma has no effect on secretion. Isoenzyme separation by isoelectric focusing demonstrates that non stimulated and zymosan or interferon-gamma treated macrophages release predominantly NAG B and, to a lesser extent, NAG A isoenzymes. In all these conditions, the intracellular intermediate form NAG I could not be detected in the media. Thus, activated macrophages may not be the source of NAG intermediate forms I and P in pathological or maternal serum. In contrast, macrophages could contribute to a significant elevation of urinary activity and NAG B excretion in response to inflammatory conditions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D007525 Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis in which a pH gradient is established in a gel medium and proteins migrate until they reach the site (or focus) at which the pH is equal to their isoelectric point. Electrofocusing,Focusing, Isoelectric
D007527 Isoenzymes Structurally related forms of an enzyme. Each isoenzyme has the same mechanism and classification, but differs in its chemical, physical, or immunological characteristics. Alloenzyme,Allozyme,Isoenzyme,Isozyme,Isozymes,Alloenzymes,Allozymes
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
