Human neutrophils exhibit disparate chemotactic factor gene expression

The evolution of acute inflammation from initiation through resolution is associated with the changing character of the infiltrating leukocytes. Recruitment of these leukocytes is dependent upon the generation of chemotactic factors that have either global or specific activity for a particular leukocyte. In this manuscript we present data demonstrating that human neutrophils can express mRNA for neutrophil chemotactic factor/interleukin 8 (IL-8), but fail to express mRNA for monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP-1). The expression of IL-8 was observed upon adherence or in response to stimulation with lipopolysaccharide. Maximal IL-8 antigenic production was noted at 24 hrs. These studies demonstrate a disparate expression of chemotactic cytokines by neutrophils.

      This leads to the movement of leukocytes from the blood vessels into the site of tissue damage (Laskin, 2009). Neutrophils phagocytose the invading pathogen or damaged cells and release molecular mediators (cytokines and chemokines), which facilitate the inflammatory process via recruitment and activation of other immune cells (Bryant et al., 1966; Strieter et al., 1990). Upon arrival, activated macrophages engage in the process of phagocytosis, and simultaneously secrete an array of cytokines including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1β, all of which are pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokines.

      However, evidence shows that ketone bodies, specifically acetoacetate, increase IL-8 and IL-6 concentrations in human U937 and THP-1 monocyte cell lines and human umbilical vein endothelial cells, whereas the presence of BHBA does not affect these cytokine concentrations (Jain et al., 2007; Rains and Jain, 2011). Interleukin-8 is a chemokine produced by lymphocytes (Gregory et al., 1988), neutrophils (Strieter et al., 1990), and epithelial cells (Skansén-Saphir et al., 1993). It is involved in recruiting and activating (Harada et al., 1994) neutrophils during mastitis (Barber and Yang, 1998), and mammary epithelial cells secrete IL-8 in response to LPS (Wellnitz and Kerr, 2004).
