[Interaction of alveolar macrophages with fibronectin during sensitization and anaphylactic shock]. 1985

L D Zubairova, and O D Zinkevich, and R I Litvinov

Interaction of rabbit alveolar macrophages (AM) with homologous fibronectin bound to gelatin-sepharose granules was studied. Macrophages obtained at the height of anaphylactic shock and cells from sensitized animals after preincubation with antigen or histamine failed to adhere to the fibronectin-coated surface. AM from intact and sensitized animals were capable of adhering to the fibronectin-coated granules in a Ca2+, Mg2+-dependent manner. Pretreatment of intact cells with trypsin inhibited AM-fibronectin interaction. The data indicate that the surface of AM bears protein receptors, capable of interacting with fibronectin, which change their affinity during anaphylactic shock and under the effect of histamine. It may be thus concluded that fibronectin is involved in the function of mononuclear phagocytes in health, evidence that complements the idea of the role played by macrophages in the pathogenesis of the immediate type hypersensitivity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006967 Hypersensitivity Altered reactivity to an antigen, which can result in pathologic reactions upon subsequent exposure to that particular antigen. Allergy,Allergic Reaction,Allergic Reactions,Allergies,Hypersensitivities,Reaction, Allergic,Reactions, Allergic
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.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D005353 Fibronectins Glycoproteins found on the surfaces of cells, particularly in fibrillar structures. The proteins are lost or reduced when these cells undergo viral or chemical transformation. They are highly susceptible to proteolysis and are substrates for activated blood coagulation factor VIII. The forms present in plasma are called cold-insoluble globulins.

D000707 Anaphylaxis An acute hypersensitivity reaction due to exposure to a previously encountered ANTIGEN. The reaction may include rapidly progressing URTICARIA, respiratory distress, vascular collapse, systemic SHOCK, and death.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
