The aim of our study was to investigate the predictive value of the biomarkers interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 10 (IL-10) and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) compared with clinical CRB and CRB-65 severity scores in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Samples and data were obtained from patients enrolled into the German CAPNETZ study group. Samples (blood, sputum and urine) were collected within 24 h of first presentation and inclusion in the CAPNETZ study, and CRB and CRB-65 scores were determined for all patients at the time of enrollment. The combined end point representative of a severe course of CAP was defined as mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit treatment and/or death within 30 days. Overall, a total of 1,000 patients were enrolled in the study. A severe course of CAP was observed in 105 (10.5%) patients. The highest IL-6, IL-10 and LBP concentrations were found in patients with CRB-65 scores of 3-4 or CRB scores of 2-3. IL-6 and LBP levels on enrollment in the

Circulating monocytes can be divided into classical (CM), intermediate (IM), and non-classical monocytes (NCM), and the classical monocytes also contain CD56+ monocytes and monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSC). The aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of the monocyte subpopulations in human obesity. Twenty-seven normal, 23 overweight, and 60 obese individuals (including 17 obese individuals with normal glucose tolerance and 27 with type 2 diabetes) were included into this study. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from human blood, and surface markers to identify monocyte subpopulations were analyzed by flow cytometry. Obese individuals had higher numbers of total monocytes, CM, IM, CD56+ monocytes, and M-MDSCs. The number of CM, IM, CD56+ monocytes, and M-MDSCs, correlated positively with body mass index, body fat, waist circumference, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, and HbA1c, and negatively with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Individuals with obesity

In the present study, combining subjects with different levels of corpulence (from moderate to severe obesity) and 2 clinical intervention studies inducing weight loss, we showed strong links between fat mass and the frequencies of CD14dimCD16+ monocytes in the population. Indeed, we observed an increase of about twice the percentage of CD16+ monocyte subsets in obesity and a reduction of these cell populations by drastic fat mass loss. A fat mass decrease of at least 5% was sufficient to observe a reduction in the CD14dimCD16+ subpopulation. On the contrary, we could not demonstrate a convincing link with glucose homeostasis in patients involved in clinical trials improving insulin sensitivity. In this context, the only association found with metabolic parameters was with fasting TG.. In healthy humans, 3 monocyte subpopulations have been described (CD14+CD16−, CD14+CD16+, and CD14dimCD16+), differing in phenotype and function.19 Human obesity is characterized by a significant increase in the ...

Clone TÜK4 recognizes the human CD14 antigen and cross-reacts with non-human primate CD14. The CD14 antigen is a high affinity receptor for lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and LPS-binding protein (LBP)-complexes. It is part of the functional heteromeric LPS receptor complex comprised of CD14, TLR4, and MD-2.CD14 is strongly expressed on most human monocytes and macrophages in peripheral blood, other body fluids, and various tissues, such as lymph nodes and spleen. CD14 is expressed at high levels, also on a few CD1c (BDCA-1)+ CD2+ myeloid dendritic cells and at low levels on neutrophilic granulocytes. Ex vivo differentiation of monocytes to dendritic cells is associated with down-regulation of CD14 antigen expression. - Lëtzebuerg

LBP [LPS (lipopolysaccharide)-binding protein] was discovered approximately 25 years ago. Since then, substantial progress has been made towards our understanding of its function in health and disease. Furthermore, the discovery of a large protein family sharing functional and structural attributes has helped in our knowledge. Still, key questions are unresolved, and here an overview on the old and new findings on LBP is given. LBP is an acute-phase protein of the liver, but is also synthesized in other cells of the organism. While LBP is named after the ability to bind to LPS of Gram-negative bacteria, it also can recognize other bacterial compounds, such as lipopeptides. It has been shown that LBP is needed to combat infections; however, the main mechanism of action is still not clear. New findings on natural genetic variations of LBP leading to functional consequences may help in further elucidating the mechanism of LBP and its role in innate immunity and disease. ...

CD14, expressed on the surface of monocytes as a phospholipid-linked protein, is a receptor for serum LPS binding protein/LPS complex. It was specifically down-modulated after stimulation of monocytes by physiologic activating/differentiating agents such as bacterial LPS and IFN-gamma, by the pharmacologic agents PMA and calcium ionophore A23187, and by anti-CD14 antibodies. The down-modulation was almost totally blocked at 4 degrees C or at pH 4.5 and markedly inhibited by the protease inhibitors diisopropylfluorophosphate and PMSF. A soluble labeled CD14 was isolated from culture supernatant of surface iodinated monocytes after their activation, indicating that CD14 is shed from the cell surface rather than internalized. The size of the soluble CD14 shed from the monocytes in vitro was smaller than that of either the membrane-bound form or a soluble CD14 cleaved from the cell surface by phosphatidyl inositol-specific phospholipase C, but identical to the size of one of the two major soluble ...

Link to Pubmed [PMID] - 9301528. Immunology 1997 Jul;91(3):391-8. Although lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced overproduction of cytokines, involved in the pathogenesis of septic shock, occupies the spotlight of endotoxin research, another LPS effect, the differentiation of various cell types including haematopoietic bone marrow cells (BMC), which is probably related to its radioprotective activity, deserves equal attention. We have previously established that nanomolar concentrations of LPS trigger in human BMC the expression of CD14 by an induction mechanism independent of CD14 or any other molecule anchored to the cell membrane by a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol glycolipid. We now show that this LPS-induced stimulation is triggered by the binding of a small number of LPS molecules (13,000 molecules/cell) to constitutive LPS receptors of low affinity (Kd = 480 nM). This interaction, which was inhibited by a synthetic LPS antagonist, appeared specific, reversible, saturable, time- and ...

N2 - To analyze the role of soluble CD4 (sCD4) in antibody (Ab) responses in CD4 loosing (CD4L) mice, experiments have been done in comparing CD4L mice with CD4 knockout (CD4KO) mice on the same C57BL/6 background. The CD4L mice have a defect in CD4 expression where CD4 mRNA is alternatively spliced so that a transmembrane portion is deleted and sCD4 are secreted without expression of membrane-bound CD4. Significantly reduced immunoglobulin (Ig) G2a isotype Ab response against a T-dependent antigen (Ag), trinitrophenyl-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (TNP-KLH), was found in CD4L mice as compared with those of CD4KO mice. Gamma interferon (IFNγ) production of KLH-stimulated lymph nodes cells was significantly reduced in CD4L mice as compared with those in CD4KO mice. The positive proportion of cells expressing CD40 ligand ...

CD14 (cluster of differentiation 14), also known as CD14, is a human gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the innate immune system. CD14 exists in two forms, one anchored to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol tail (mCD14), the other a soluble form (sCD14). Soluble CD14 either appears after shedding of mCD14 (48 kDa) or is directly secreted from intracellular vesicles (56 kDa). The x-ray crystal structure of human CD14 (4GLP.pdb) reveals a monomeric, bent solenoid structure containing a hydrophobic amino-terminal pocket. CD14 was the first described pattern recognition receptor. CD14 acts as a co-receptor (along with the Toll-like receptor TLR 4 and MD-2) for the detection of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). CD14 can bind LPS only in the presence of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP). Although LPS is considered its main ligand, CD14 also recognizes other pathogen-associated molecular patterns such as lipoteichoic acid. CD14 is expressed mainly by ...

We have recently shown that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP) is a lipid transfer protein that catalyzes two distinct reactions: movement of bacterial LPS (endotoxin) from LPS micelles to soluble CD14 (sCD14) and movement of LPS from micelles to reconstituted high density lipoprotein (R-HDL) particles. Here we show that LBP facilitates a third lipid transfer reaction: movement of LPS from LPS-sCD14 complexes to R-HDL particles. This action of LBP is catalytic, with one molecule of LBP enabling the movement of multiple LPS molecules into R-HDL. LBP-catalyzed movement of LPS from LPS-sCD14 complexes to R-HDL neutralizes the capacity of LPS to stimulate polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Our findings show that LPS may be transferred to R-HDL either by the direct action of LBP or by a two-step reaction in which LPS is first transferred to sCD14 and subsequently to R-HDL. We have observed that the two-step pathway of LPS transfer to R-HDL is strongly favored over direct transfer. ...

Recognition of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by the innate immune system elicits strong pro-inflammatory responses that can eventually cause a fatal sepsis syndrome in humans. LPS-mediated activation of mammalian cells is believed to involve the interaction of LPS with lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) in the serum and, subsequently with CD14. Although there is no doubt that CD14 binds LPS, CD14 is not capable of initiating a transmembrane activation signal because it is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein. Accumulating evidence has suggested that LPS must interact with a transmembrane receptor(s) that is responsible for signal transduction. Integrins CD11c and/or CD18, Toll-like receptors (TLRs), as well as CD55, have been suggested to serve this function. Recently, we have revealed that a signalling complex of receptors is formed following LPS stimulation, which comprises heat-shock proteins (Hsps) 70 and 90, chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and growth differentiation ...

Human monocyte populations are heterogeneous in size and morphology, and also in their function. In this study, we have identified, for the first time, a subset of monocytes from the peritoneal cavity of patients with ovarian cancer that were able to suppress T cell responses. These cells, which were CD14 positive, did not express molecules that are associated with activation or costimulation, such as HLA-DR, CD80, or CD86. These monocytes were therefore unlikely to have Ag presenting functions but could represent a population of cells with immunosuppressive functions. The IL-10-producing cells were detected only in the PEC of ovarian cancer patients and were not detected in the peripheral blood of these patients. However, the CD14+/HLA-DR−/IL-10+ cells were detected after in vitro stimulation of PBMC from patients with ovarian cancer utilizing rGM-CSF and rIL-2 (24). Suppressor monocyte populations have been identified in the microenvironment of other tumor systems, notably fibrosarcomas and ...

In this study, we provide evidence based on both functional assays and structural modeling that is consistent with EsLBP1 functioning as an LBP-like protein. Most notably, EsLBP1 binds Gram-negative bacterial LOS and LPS with nanomolar or higher avidity under in vitro conditions, i.e., when LPS/LOS is presented as part of supramolecular assemblies containing LPS-rich lipid-water interfaces, as in aggregates of purified LPS/LOS. eslbp1 gene expression is regulated by exposure to the peptidoglycan monomer TCT, which synergizes with LPS in the triggering of V. fischeri-induced morphogenesis of the host symbiotic tissues. The gene is expressed and the protein produced across the organs epithelia-from the point where V. fischeri initially gathers, along the path of its migration, to where it takes up permanent residence in the crypts. The protein is also abundant along the apical surfaces of other epithelial tissues, where colonization by bacteria does not occur.. Although EsLBP1 has only ~25% ...

Clone REA599 recognizes the human CD14 antigen. CD14 is part of the functional heteromeric LPS receptor complex comprised of at least CD14, TLR4, and MD-2. It up-regulates cell surface molecules, including adhesion molecules. CD14 is strongly expressed on most human monocytes and macrophages in peripheral blood, other bodily fluids, and in various tissues such as lymph nodes and spleen. CD14 is weakly expressed on subpopulations of human neutrophils and myeloid dendritic cells.Additional information: Clone REA599 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. - Nederland

Assessment of serum concentration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP) has been suggested as a useful biomarker to indicate activation of innate immune responses to microbial products. We investigated LBP concentrations and associations with demographics, lifestyle factors, and common metabolic abnormalities in adults. We also examined if LBP concentrations were associated with common polymorphisms in genes coding for LBP (rs2232618), CD14 (rs2569190), and TLR4 (rs4986790), the molecules responsible for the innate immune response to LPS, or serum levels of soluble CD14 (sCD14) and proinflammatory cytokines ...

The identification of the bacterial endotoxin receptors for innate immunity, most notably TLR4 (Toll-like receptor 4), has sparked great interest in therapeutic manipulation of the innate immune system. In the present mini-review, several natural and synthetic molecules that modulate the TLR4-mediated LPS (lipopolysaccharide) signalling in animals and humans are considered, and their mechanisms of action are discussed. The process of LPS sensing and signal amplification in humans is based on the sequential action of specific receptors situated in the extracellular side of the innate immunity cells, which bind and transfer LPS to TLR4: LBP (LPS-binding protein), CD14, MD-2 (myeloid differentiation protein 2). We classified the compounds active on TLR4 pathway depending on the specific molecular targets (LPS, LBP, CD14, MD-2 or TLR4). Small molecules developed by our group are described that inhibit LPS-stimulated TLR4 activation by selectively targeting the LPS-CD14 interaction. These compounds ...

CD14 (also known lipopolysaccharide [LPS] receptor) is expressed strongly on monocytes and macrophages and weakly on the surface of neutrophils. CD14 (1-201 a.a.) is anchored to cells by linkage to glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) and functions as a high affinity receptor for complexes of LPS and LPS binding protein (LBP). Soluble CD14, also binding to LPS, acts at physiological concentrations as an LPS agonist and has, at higher concentrations, an LPS antagonizing effect in cell activation. The myeloid differentiation antigen CD14 acts as the major receptor for bacterial LPS. The dominant form of the recombinant wildtype CD14 is the 50 kDa protein.,The rHuCD14 is produced from human CD14-transfected CHO-cells. Before transfection, the complete human CD14-cDNA was amplified by PCR and cloned into expression vector p-POL-DHFR ...

Beutler is best known for his pioneering molecular and genetic studies of inflammation and innate immunity. Interested in the mechanism by which lipopolysacchride (LPS) activates mammalian immune cells, Beutler identified the LPS receptor. Identification of the receptor hinged on the positional cloning (a method of gene identification) of the mammalian Lps locus, which had been known since the 1960s as a key gene for biological responses to LPS.[4]. Beutler thus discovered the key sensors of microbial infection in mammals. He found that one of the mammalian toll-like receptors,[5] TLR4, acts as the membrane-spanning component of the mammalian LPS receptor complex.[6] The TLRs work in the perception of microbes. Ten are now known in humans. Each detects signature molecules produced early in an infection. These receptors also work in severe illness, including shock and systemic inflammation as it occurs in the course of an infection. They are also active in sterile inflammatory and autoimmune ...

Lipopolysaccharide binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LBP gene.[5][6] LBP is a soluble acute-phase protein that binds to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (or LPS) to elicit immune responses by presenting the LPS to important cell surface pattern recognition receptors called CD14 and TLR4.[7] The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the acute-phase immunologic response to gram-negative bacterial infections. Gram-negative bacteria contain a glycolipid, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), on their outer cell wall. Together with bactericidal permeability-increasing protein (BPI), the encoded protein binds LPS and interacts with the CD14 receptor, probably playing a role in regulating LPS-dependent monocyte responses. Studies in mice suggest that the encoded protein is necessary for the rapid acute-phase response to LPS but not for the clearance of LPS from circulation. This protein is part of a family of structurally and functionally related proteins, including BPI, plasma ...

In this analysis, we considered the effects of a common promotor polymorphism of the lipopolysaccharide receptor CD14 associated with increased transcriptional activity upon the development of posttransplant rejection and graft survival. Genotyping was performed in 226 lung transplant recipients well characterized with regards to clinical outcomes. An earlier onset of acute rejection, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and worse posttransplant ...

CD14 is a 55 kDa GPI-anchored glycoprotein, constitutively expressed on the surface of mature monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils, where serves as a multifunctional lipopolysaccharide receptor; it is also released to the serum both as a secreted and enzymatically cleaved GPI-anchored form. CD14 binds lipopolysaccharide molecule in a reaction catalyzed by lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), an acute phase serum protein. The soluble sCD14 is able to discriminate slight structural differences between lipopolysaccharides and is important for neutralization of serum allochthonous lipopolysaccharides by reconstituted lipoprotein particles. CD14 affects allergic, inflammatory and infectious processes ...

Here we show that elevated CD14++CD16− monocytes predict cardiovascular events. Elevated CD14++CD16− monocytes predicted CVD risk independently of gender, age, current smoking, HDL cholesterol, and presence of diabetes and hypertension. CD14++CD16− monocytes did not, however, associate with the extent of atherosclerosis at baseline. In contrast, the percentages of monocytes expressing CD16 were negatively associated to carotid IMT at baseline. This seems contradictory but might indicate that different monocyte subsets have different biological functions. CD14++CD16− monocytes might cause inflammation that weakens the fibrous cap covering plaques and thus be associated with increased risk of clinical events, whereas CD16-expressing monocytes might play a greater role in determining the size of the plaque, perhaps even having a protective, or reparative, rather than plaque-promoting function. The chemokine receptors CCR2, CX3CR1, and CCR5 were not differentially expressed between cases and ...

Monocytes in the circulation of normal individuals express two receptors for the constant region of immunoglobulin, Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII. In contrast, we have observed that AIDS monocytes express significant levels of a third Fc gamma R, Fc gamma RIII (CD16), which is normally associated with activation or maturation of the monocyte population. By dual-fluorescence analysis using a monoclonal antibody specific for Fc gamma RIII (MAb 3G8), 38.5 +/- 3.2% of the LeuM3 (CD14)-positive monocytes in AIDS patients were CD16 positive as compared to 10.4 +/- 1.0% for healthy individuals (n = 29; P less than 0.005). Furthermore, AIDS monocytes expressed Fc gamma RIII-specific mRNA which is expressed minimally or not at all in control monocytes. As a recently identified inducer of Fc gamma RIII expression on blood monocytes, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) was found to be elevated in the serum and/or plasma of AIDS patients. Moreover, incubation of normal monocytes with AIDS serum or ...

Y1 - 2018/12/19. N2 - Atherosclerosis is a progressive pathological remodeling of the arteries and one of its hallmarks is the presence of chronic inflammation. Notably, there is an increased proportion and activation state of specific monocyte subsets in systemic blood circulation. Monocyte subsets have distinct contributions to the formation, progression, and destabilization of the atherosclerotic plaque. Strong clinical and epidemiological studies show that regular aerobic exercise mitigates the progression of cardiovascular disease. In fact, aerobic fitness is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular mortality in adults, independent of traditional risk factors such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Acute bouts and chronic exercise training modulate monocyte behavior, ranging from their recruitment ...

mice were protected from NEC and transfer of intestinal lymphocytes from NEC mice into naive mice induced intestinal inflammation. The intestinal expression of the lipopolysaccharide receptor TLR4, which is higher in the premature compared with full-term human and mouse intestine, is required for lymphocyte influx through TLR4-mediated upregulation of CCR9/CCL25 signaling. TLR4 also mediates a STAT3-dependent polarization toward increased proinflammatory CD3+CD4+IL-17+ and reduced tolerogenic Foxp3+ Treg lymphocytes (Tregs). Th17 lymphocytes were required for NEC development, as inhibition of STAT3 or IL-17 receptor signaling attenuated NEC in mice, while IL-17 release impaired enterocyte tight junctions, increased enterocyte apoptosis, and reduced enterocyte proliferation, leading to NEC. Importantly, TLR4-dependent Th17 polarization could be reversed by the enteral administration of retinoic acid, which induced Tregs and decreased NEC severity. These findings identify an important role for ...

In 81% of the critically ill patients with polytrauma the post-traumatic period was accompanied with development of infectious complications, Gram-negative (K. pneumoniae, Acinetobacter spp., E. coli) and Gram-positive (S. Epidermidis, S. aureus). Sepsis was diagnosed on 8 to 10 days in 45% of the patients. The significant increase of LPS-BP was found in the first 3 days of the follow-up, compared with the control values (6.7 times higher in SIRS group (χ2(n = 18, df = 3) = 52.8666, P , 0.001); 9.9 times higher in the group with local infection (χ2(n = 36, df = 3) = 91.6629, P , 0.001); 15.2 times higher in the sepsis group; 20.5 times higher in the severe sepsis group; 47.3 times higher in the septic shock group (χ2(n = 6, df = 3) = 11.0339, P = 0.0115)), whereas the first positive results of the microbiological examination were obtained only on 5 to 7 days. The diagnostic sensitivity of threshold concentration of LBP in blood serum (335 mkg/ml) was 84%, diagnostic specificity was 88% (ROC ...

The main goal of this project was to investigate the differences in monocyte population and function between pregnant and non-pregnant dairy cows. Evaluating the differences in monocyte function may help to understand the immunosuppression of periparturient dairy cows. Blood was collected from three pregnant cows and four non-pregnant cows. The ... read more peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were incubated in six well plates for 3 hours, after which the monocytes were collected. Each cow was sampled twice, with 2-5 days in between. There was no difference in the total blood monocyte population as a percentage of the circulating PMBCs between pregnant and non-pregnant dairy cows, but pregnant cows showed a slightly increase in CD14+ cells as a percentage of the whole blood monocyte population. Dairy cows in late gestation (270 days) showed a decrease in MHCII expression on the CD14+ subpopulation compared with non-pregnant cows and cows in early gestation (120 days). This project showed ...

Dendritic cell (DC) activation is commonly used as a measure of the immunomodulatory potential of candidate exogenous and endogenous molecules. Residual lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contamination is a recurring theme and the potency of LPS is not always fully appreciated. To address this, polymyxin B (PmB) is often used to neutralise contaminating LPS. However, the limited capacity of this antibiotic to successfully block these effects is neglected. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the minimum LPS concentration required to induce murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cell (BMDC) maturation and cytokine secretion and to assess the ability of PmB to inhibit these processes. LPS concentrations as low as 10 pg/ml and 20 pg/ml induced secretion of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α respectively, while a concentration of 50 pg/ml promoted secretion of IL-12p40. A much higher threshold exists for IL-12p70 as an LPS concentration of 500 pg/ml was required to induce secretion of ...

CD4+ T lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages are important components of the immune system. Blood monocytes are usually targeted for studies of the human macrophage lineage cells because of their accessibility through blood sampling. Most separation techniques currently available to obtain human monocytes either require large volumes of blood or do not yield a monocyte fraction sufficiently depleted of other cell types. We have developed a simple strategy to isolate a highly enriched population of monocytes from small volumes (, 6 ml) of peripheral blood by using an anti-CD14 monoclonal antibody and magnetic microspheres. Yields of monocytes ranged from 75 to 80% of CD14+ cells in peripheral blood. CD4+ T cells were subsequently selected from the monocyte-depleted peripheral blood by using an anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody and immunomagnetic beads. The effectiveness of immunomagnetic selection to yield a monocyte population highly depleted of T cells was analyzed by using a sensitive molecular ...

In gram-negative sepsis, free LPS attaches to a circulating LPS-binding protein, and the complex then binds to the CD14 receptor on monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils. Engagement of CD14 (even at doses as minute as 10 pg/mL) results in intracellular signaling via an associated Toll-like receptor protein 4 (TLR-4). This signaling results in the activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB), which leads to transcription of a number of genes that trigger a proinflammatory response. It was the result of significant activation of mononuclear cells and synthesis of effector cytokines. It also results in profound activation of mononuclear cells and the production of potent effector cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α. TLR-mediated activation helps to trigger the innate immune system to efficiently eradicate invading microbes, but the cytokines they produce also act on endothelial cells. There, they have a variety of effects, including reduced synthesis of anticoagulation factors such as ...

The dynamics of skin-draining cells following infection or vaccination provide important insight into the initiation of immune responses. In this study, the local recruitment and activation of immune cells in draining lymph nodes (LNs) was studied in calves in an adjuvant-induced inflammation. A transient but remarkably strong recruitment of monocytes was demonstrated after onset of inflammation, constituting up to 41 % of live cells in the draining LNs after 24 h. Numerous CD14+ cells were visualized in subcutaneous tissues and draining LNs, and the majority of these cells did not express dendritic cell-associated markers CD205 and CD11c. In the LNs, recruited cells were predominately of a CD14++ and CD16+ phenotype, consistent with an intermediate monocyte subset characterized to possess a high inflammatory potential. Moreover, monocytes from the draining lymph node showed a high expression of genes coding for pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, TNFa and TGFβ. Shortly after their

Pal Bhattoa Harjit MD, PhD; Zoltán Mezei MD. Technician: Róza Földesi Varga BSc; Gabriella Szabó Gaál BSc. The human body is constantly attacked by invading pathogenic microorganisms. The evolutionary ancient form of the host defense against these pathogens is the innate immune system. Toll-like receptors and their associated molecules like CD14 or LPS-binding protein (LBP) are the most important pattern recognition receptors of this system. They support the elimination of invading microorganisms, and have an important role in the initiation of the adaptive immune response and even can participate in the development of autoimmune disorders.. One major area of our interest is the characterization of the expression, function and interaction of LBP, CD14 and the associated TLRs in human and mouse experimental systems. Furthermore, we analyze the expression and functions of these molecules in autoimmune diseases (SLE, poly/dermatomyositis, systemic sclerosis) and in immune mediated skin ...

Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) display a complex blood transcriptome whose cellular origin is poorly resolved. Using single-cell RNA-seq, we profiled ~276,000 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 33 pediatric SLE, with different disease activity scores, as well as 11 matched healthy controls. Our analysis yielded 20 transcriptionally distinct cell populations, including three monocyte, two B cell, a plasma cell (PC), three CD8+ T cell, and two NK cell clusters. Overall, the SLE signature was comprised of each cell type, although minor populations of PCs and pDCs over contributed. Interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) were expressed within a restricted SLE CD14+ monocyte population, which correlated with disease activity. While the most prevalent ISGs found in SLE patients were restricted to few clusters, those previously associated with flares spread to every cell type. These results will be compared and validated using an adult SLE cohort and will lay a foundation for ...

The normal range for monocytes in white blood cells is 2 to 8 percent; any result higher than 8 is considered abnormal, notes MedlinePlus. Monocytes are one of the five types of white blood cells...

Hello, We are interested in metabolic labeling (using 35S-Met) human monocytes stimulated under various conditions. Has anyone done this? I am looking for recommendations on media to use, length of starvation, labeling, etc. Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Blair R. Renshaw Immunex Corp ...
