    Abstract: Plasmodium falciparum is the most lethal form of malaria and is increasing both in incidence and in its resistance to antimalarial agents. An improved understanding of the mechanisms of malarial clearance may facilitate the development of new therapeutic interventions. We postulated that the scavenger receptor CD36, an important factor in cytoadherence of P falciparum–parasitized erythrocytes (PEs), might also play a role in monocyte- and macrophage-mediated malarial clearance. Exposure of nonopsonized PEs to Fc receptor–blocked monocytes resulted in significant PE phagocytosis, accompanied by intense clustering of CD36 around the PEs. Phagocytosis was blocked 60% to 70% by monocyte pretreatment with monoclonal anti-CD36 antibodies but not by antibodies to αvβ3, thrombospondin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, or platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1. Antibody-induced CD36 cross-linking did result in the early increase of surface CD11b expression, but there was no increase in, or priming for, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α secretion following either CD36 cross-linking or PE phagocytosis. CD36 clustering does support intracellular signaling: Antibody-induced cross-linking initiated intracellular tyrosine phosphorylation as well as extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation. Both broad-spectrum tyrosine kinase inhibition (genistein) and selective ERK and p38 MAPK inhibition (PD98059 and SB203580, respectively) reduced PE uptake to almost the same extent as CD36 blockade. Thus, CD36-dependent binding and signaling appears to be crucial for the nonopsonic clearance of PEs and does not appear to contribute to the increase in TNF-α that is prognostic of poor outcome in clinical malaria.

    Abstract: Agonist signals delivered through cell surface Fas induce apoptosis. However, the apoptotic program can be modulated by signals from the environment, and in particular, by signals delivered through adhesion molecules. Because neutrophil functional activity in inflammation is contingent on cell survival, and because circulating neutrophils normally die rapidly through a constitutively expressed apoptotic program, we evaluated Fas-mediated apoptosis in resting and inflammatory human neutrophils. We show that normal neutrophils respond to Fas engagement with accelerated rates of apoptosis, but cross-linking of β2 integrins or priming with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) prevents this increase. Adhesion molecule cross-linking results in increased intracellular glutathione (GSH). Augmentation of intracellular GSH with exogenous GSH or N-acetylcysteine is sufficient to reduce the Fas-triggered increase in apoptotic rates. Prevention of the activation induced GSH increase by buthionine sulfoximine, a cell permeable inhibitor of GSH biosynthesis, restored Fas responsiveness in activated neutrophils, an effect that could be blocked with exogenous GSH. Taken together, these data show that Fas-induced signaling for neutrophil apoptosis is blocked in a redox sensitive manner by costimulatory signals delivered through β2 integrins or activation by LPS, and provide a biologic explanation for sustained neutrophil survival in the inflammatory environment.

    Abstract: Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) is one of the leading causes of transfusion fatalities. There have been several animal models of TRALI developed including ex vivo lung models demonstrating the importance of human anti-neutrophil antibodies in TRALI and in vivo transfusion models showing how biological response modifiers can induce recipient lung damage. In addition, an in vivo antibody-mediated TRALI model has also been established and has shown close similarities with human TRALI. Most of the animal models have a two-hit paradigm where the first hit is delivered in the form of a noxious substance such as lipopolysaccharide and the second hit is a transfusion of either a blood product or an antibody. Here we describe a novel clinically relevant two-hit model where the first hit is hemorrhagic shock followed by a second hit in the form of a platelet transfusion. Severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice were anesthetized and had half of their total blood volume was removed via a carotid cannula to instigate hypovolemic shock. After one hour of shock, the mice were reperfused with either Ringer’s lactate solution or fresh or three day aged platelets. 34-1-2s, a monoclonal anti-mouse MHC class I antibody known to induce TRALI was used as a positive reperfusion control. Two hours following reperfusion, the mice were sacrificed and blood was obtained via cardiac puncture in order to measure serum levels of the neutrophil chemoattractant macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2). Lungs were removed to determine the percentage of accumulated neutrophils and to measure edema. Compared with control mice reperfused with Ringer’s lactate solution or mice administered fresh platelets, serum MIP-2 levels in mice administered with three day aged platelets were significantly elevated and were comparable to those observed in mice infused with 34-1-2s. Pulmonary neutrophil accumulation in the mice transfused with 3 day stored platelets was also elevated to levels observed in 34-1-2s treated mice. Pulmonary edema as measured by lung Wet/Dry ratios was elevated in mice receiving the 3 day aged platelets. In vivo administration of a MIP-2 antagonist (SB225002, 4mg/kg) intraperitoneally immediately before reperfusion significantly reduced all TRALI symptoms. These results show that an animal model of hypovolemic shock exhibits TRALI upon reperfusion with stored platelets and is dependent on MIP-2 production. This clinically-relevant model will be valuable in studying potential therapeutic interventions to prevent TRALI following transfusions, Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
