Previous studies have demonstrated that certain local juvenile periodontitis (LJP) patients possess neutrophils with an intrinsic chemotactic defect to the peptide chemoattractants f-met-leu-phe (FMLP) and C5a. In this investigation, the in vitro response of neutrophils to the chemotactic agent leukotriene B4 (LTB4) was examined. Those LJP patients who possessed defective chemotactic responses to FMLP and endotoxin activated serum (EAS) also had impaired chemotaxis to LTB4. Exogenous LTB4 failed to augment the impaired response to FMLP. Evidence for a global membrane defect in LJP neutrophils resulting in hyporesponsiveness to chemically diverse chemotactic agents is presented.

D007975 Leukotriene B4 The major metabolite in neutrophil polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It stimulates polymorphonuclear cell function (degranulation, formation of oxygen-centered free radicals, arachidonic acid release, and metabolism).

D009240 N-Formylmethionine Leucyl-Phenylalanine A formylated tripeptide originally isolated from bacterial filtrates that is positively chemotactic to polymorphonuclear leucocytes, and causes them to release lysosomal enzymes and become metabolically activated.

D010520 Aggressive Periodontitis Inflammation and loss of PERIODONTIUM that is characterized by rapid attachment loss and bone destruction in the presence of little local factors such as DENTAL PLAQUE and DENTAL CALCULUS. This highly destructive form of periodontitis often occurs in young people and was called early-onset periodontitis, but this disease also appears in old people.
