Characteristics of aggregated immunoglobulin G as an immunologic phagocytic stimulus for granule enzyme release from human neutrophils. 1986

R J Smith, and S C Speziale, and R G Ulrich, and B J Bowman

Aggregated immunoglobulin G (AggIgG) induced a time- and concentration-dependent phagocytic release of granule-associated lysozyme and myeloperoxidase (MPO) from human neutrophils. Degranulation was significantly enhanced in the presence of calcium or magnesium, and maximum granule exocytosis was observed when both divalent cations were present. AggIgG-stimulated enzyme release was inhibited with the intracellular calcium antagonist, TMB-8[8-(N,N-diethylamino)-octyl-(3,4,5-trimethoxy)benzoate] in the absence of extracellular calcium. DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic acid stilbene), a permeant anion channel blocker, also suppressed AggIgG-induced degranulation. Cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, enhanced granule exocytosis from AggIgG-treated neutrophils. Two inhibitors of transmethylation reactions, 3-deazaadenosine (3-DZA) and homocysteine thiolactone (HCTL) in combination, suppressed AggIgG-elicited granule enzyme release. These data indicate that AggIgG is a useful probe for investigating the requirements for phagocytic enzyme release from human neutrophils.

D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D009113 Muramidase A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin. EC 3.2.1.17. Lysozyme,Leftose,N-Acetylmuramide Glycanhydrolase,Glycanhydrolase, N-Acetylmuramide,N Acetylmuramide Glycanhydrolase
D009195 Peroxidase A hemeprotein from leukocytes. Deficiency of this enzyme leads to a hereditary disorder coupled with disseminated moniliasis. It catalyzes the conversion of a donor and peroxide to an oxidized donor and water. EC 1.11.1.7. Myeloperoxidase,Hemi-Myeloperoxidase,Hemi Myeloperoxidase
D009504 Neutrophils Granular leukocytes having a nucleus with three to five lobes connected by slender threads of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing fine inconspicuous granules and stainable by neutral dyes.

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.
