Prevention of leukocyte migration inhibitory factor activity by glucagon. 1985

D Pereţianu, and A Deleanu, and V Lotreanu, and A Mogoş, and C Beşliu, and D Tănase

Leukocyte migration inhibitory factor (LMIF) activity was tested before and after glucagon administration both in vivo and in vitro. In vivo glucagon 1 mg i.v. vs saline administration inhibited LMIF production by T lymphocytes in 85.21% patients (p less than 0.01). In vitro glucagon in physiologic (125 pg/ml) and pharmacologic (50 ng/ml) doses increased the migration area vs PPD 250 microL (migration index 0.5127 vs 0.3210; p less than 0.05). These results show a significant inhibitory effect of glucagon upon LMIF activity. We suggest that glucagon acts by enhancement of the intralymphocytic cAMP/cGMP ratio (cyclic adenosine monophosphate/cyclic guanosine monophosphate).

D007961 Leukocyte Migration-Inhibitory Factors Protein factor(s) released by sensitized lymphocytes (and possibly other cells) that inhibit the movement of LEUKOCYTES, especially polymorphonuclear cells, away from their site of release. Assays for these factors are used as tests for cellular immunity. Two of the common assays are the LEUKOCYTE MIGRATION CAPILLARY TUBE TECHNIQUE (LMCT) and the LEUKOCYTE MIGRATION AGAROSE TEST (LMAT).

D005934 Glucagon A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.

D006152 Cyclic GMP Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.
