The in vitro effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on the capacity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) was investigated. Human PMNLs were separated from healthy volunteers and preincubated for 10 min. at 37 degrees C with varying concentrations (10(-7)-10(-12) M) of ET-1. After subsequent stimulation with FMLP (10(-7) M) or opsonized zymosan (0.5 mg/ml) the intra- and extracellular generation of ROS was assessed by luminol-amplified chemiluminescence, superoxide radical (.O2-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production.
ET-1 alone failed to stimulate ROS generation. Neither the capacity for extracellular generation of oxygen metabolites nor the production of ROS with an intracellular origin was changed after preincubation of PMNLs with ET-1. ET-1 did not cause a shift of the .O2-/H2O2 production ratio after stimulation of PMNLs with FMLP. These findings suggest that ET-1 in vitro does not prime human PMNLs for enhanced production of ROS.
研究了内皮素-1(ET-1)对多形核白细胞(PMNLs)产生活性氧(ROS)能力的体外作用。从健康志愿者中分离出人PMNLs,并在37℃下用不同浓度(10^(-7)-10^(-12) M)的ET-1预孵育10分钟。在用FMLP(10^(-7) M)或调理酵母聚糖(0.5 mg/ml)随后刺激后,通过鲁米诺增强化学发光、超氧阴离子(·O2-)和过氧化氢(H2O2)产生来评估ROS的细胞内和细胞外产生。
单独的ET-1未能刺激ROS产生。在用ET-1预孵育PMNLs后,氧代谢产物的细胞外产生能力和细胞内源性ROS的产生均未改变。在用FMLP刺激PMNLs后,ET-1未引起·O2-/H2O2产生比率的变化。这些发现表明,ET-1在体外不会使人类PMNLs对ROS产生增强作用。
