The modulation of granulocyte functions by bacterial exotoxins (Streptolysin O, alveolysin, theta toxin) and endotoxins from salmonella and lipid A is described here. Incubation of polymorphonuclear granulocytes with thiol-activated toxins resulted in an increased leukotriene generation. Toxin-pretreated PMNs revealed an increased omega oxidation of LTB4, which may explain why toxin-stimulated cells release more LTC4 than LTB4. Furthermore, toxin-pretreated PMNs showed a decreased leukotriene generation on subsequent stimulation with the Ca-ionophore A 23187 or opsonized zymosan.
本文描述了细菌外毒素(链球菌溶血素O、肺泡溶血素、θ毒素)以及沙门氏菌内毒素和脂质A对粒细胞功能的调节作用。用硫醇激活毒素孵育多形核粒细胞会导致白三烯生成增加。经毒素预处理的多形核白细胞显示白三烯B4的ω氧化增加,这可能解释了为何毒素刺激的细胞释放的白三烯C4比白三烯B4更多。此外,经毒素预处理的多形核白细胞在随后用钙离子载体A 23187或调理酵母聚糖刺激时,白三烯生成减少。
