Neutrophils play a pivotal role in host defense against bacterial infection, however, these cells may have a harmful effect on normal tissues under certain pathological conditions. We demonstrate here that apoptosis of these cells is modulated by psychophysical stress and its related hormones, suggesting that psychoneural systems may exert an effect on host defense through modulating neutrophil survival.
中性粒细胞在宿主抵御细菌感染中起关键作用,然而,在某些病理条件下,这些细胞可能会对正常组织产生有害影响。我们在此证明,这些细胞的凋亡受心理生理应激及其相关激素的调节,这表明心理神经系 统可能通过调节中性粒细胞的存活对宿主防御产生影响。
