Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA, 10(-7) M) activation of adherent neutrophils (PMNs) led to a markedly attenuated release of superoxide anion (O2-) per cell when PMNs were activated at high density (2.85 fmol O2-/PMN at 2 million in 0.1 ml) in comparison with cells activated at low cell density (12.0 fmol O2-/PMN at 250,000 in 0.1 ml). This "autoregulatory" phenomenon was not due to a defect in the superoxide anion assay employed, to a differential adherence of neutrophils at high vs. low density, or to substrate (cytochrome c) or cell stimulus (PMA) limitation. It was associated with an inhibition of apparent NADPH oxidase activity and a leftward shift (toward a lower level of activation) in the activation profile of PMNs (as determined by FACS analysis using PMNs preloaded with 2'7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate in which H2O2 production results in the production of the fluorescent product 2'7'-dichlorofluorescein intracellularly). Other aspects of the neutrophil activation response including arachidonic acid mobilization, phospholipid metabolism, and perhaps phosphatidylinositol turnover were also attenuated when PMNs were activated at high cell density. Studies with cells in solution, cells treated with cycloheximide, and cells treated with 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid suggest that PMN contact with a surface, neutrophil protein synthesis, and an increased surface expression of the heterodimer CD11b/CD18 on PMNs all were not required for autoregulation. Finally, morphometric and morphologic examination of PMNs activated at low vs. high density revealed histologic and structural correlates associated with the attenuated PMN activation response of cells triggered at high cell density. We conclude that multiple structural and functional aspects of the PMN activation response are modulated by cell density and suggest that this property is important both in the physiologic control of neutrophil activation and in the design of in vitro assays of the neutrophil activation response.
