Leptospire lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated the adherence of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Enhanced PMN adherence in response to leptospire LPS can be mediated by platelet-activator-factor (PAF), because a PAF antagonist reduced adherence. Leptospire LPS also induced the adherence platelets or U937. The second experiment involved leptospire LPS elicited platelet aggregation in a PMN-platelet mixture, because leptospire LPS stimulated human PMN but not the human platelets. The platelet response was observed only in the mixture system and was inhibited by a PAF antagonist. PAF could be an important pathogenic factor in human leptospirosis.
钩端螺旋体脂多糖(LPS)刺激多形核中性粒细胞(PMN)黏附于人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)。对钩端螺旋体LPS的反应中PMN黏附增强可由血小板激活因子(PAF)介导,因为PAF拮抗剂可降低黏附。钩端螺旋体LPS还诱导血小板或U937黏附。第二个实验涉及钩端螺旋体LPS在PMN-血小板混合物中引发血小板聚集,因为钩端螺旋体LPS刺激人PMN而非人血小板。血小板反应仅在混合系统中观察到,并被PAF拮抗剂抑制。PAF可能是人类钩端螺旋体病的一个重要致病因素。
