U937 cells were found to be activated by an antibacterial peptide, KLKLLLLLKLK-NH2 (L5), to generate superoxide anion (O2-)-like peripheral neutrophils. However, the state of cell surface calreticulin, a possible receptor for L5, was suggested to differ between neutrophils and U937 cells. Unlike the former, the latter ones were activated by anti-C-domain peptide antibody of calreticulin even in the absence of L5 and generated O2- in a GTP-binding protein (G-protein)-dependent manner.
研究发现,抗菌肽KLKLLLLLKLK-NH2(L5)可激活U937细胞,使其产生类似外周血中性粒细胞的超氧阴离子(O2-)。然而,细胞表面钙网蛋白作为L5可能的受体,其状态在中性粒细胞和U937细胞之间可能存在差异。与中性粒细胞不同,即使在没有L5的情况下,U937细胞也会被钙网蛋白的抗C结构域肽抗体激活,并以一种依赖于GTP结合蛋白(G蛋白)的方式产生O2-。
