  • Antimicrobial host defence peptides of human neutrophils – roles in innate immunity
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: Anti-Infective Agents in Medicinal Chemistry. - : Bentham Science Publishers Ltd.. - 1871-5214. ; 7:3, s. 155-168

    • The innate immune system is an old defence mechanism that in primitive organisms consists mainly of humoral components like antimicrobial peptides. Many of these peptides share features such as size, cationicity, amphipathicity and kill microbes primarily by lysing the cell membrane. In more evolved organisms, humoral factors are supplemented by cellular components such as professional phagocytes, but the antimicrobial peptides are still important for host defence. Neutrophils are professional phagocytes that in humans contain two different classes of classical antimicrobial peptides belonging to the cathelicidin family and the α-defensin family, respectively. In addition to these two main groups of poly-peptides, neutrophils are also rich in antimicrobial proteins. It is becoming increasingly clear that the antimicrobial peptides of neutrophils not only contribute to phagosomal killing, but also function as regulators of immunity; therefore the alternative name host defence peptides is more appropriate. The question whether antimicrobial host defence peptides are primarily immunomodulatory or antimicrobial in vivo has not been conclusively determined. At some locations in the body, e.g. in a phagosome, their effect is likely directly antimicrobial, whereas their immunomodulatory functions are probably more important at other sites. This review will provide a background to the field of antimicrobial peptides including their common features, mechanisms of killing and availability in nature. It will focus on the antimicrobial peptides present in human neutrophils and special emphasis will be given to the functional dualism displayed by many peptides giving them the ability to modulate the immune response in addition to being directly antimicrobial

  • Intracellular generation of superoxide by the phagocyte NADPH oxidase: How, where, and what for?
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Free radical biology & medicine. - : Elsevier BV. - 1873-4596 .- 0891-5849.

    • Professional phagocytes increase their consumption of molecular oxygen during the phagocytosis of microbes or when encountering a variety of nonparticulate stimuli. In these circumstances, oxygen is reduced by the phagocyte NADPH oxidase, and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are important for the microbicidal activity of the cells, are generated. The structure and function of the NADPH oxidase have been resolved in part by studying cells from patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a condition characterized by the inability of phagocytes to assemble a functional NADPH oxidase and thus to produce ROS. As a result, patients with CGD have a predisposition to infections as well as a variety of inflammatory symptoms. A long-standing paradigm has been that NADPH oxidase assembly occurs exclusively in the plasma membrane or invaginations thereof (phagosomes). A growing body of evidence points to the possibility that phagocytes are capable of NADPH oxidase assembly in nonphagosomal intracellular membranes, resulting in ROS generation within intracellular organelles also in the absence of phagocytosis. The exact nature of these ROS-producing organelles is yet to be determined, but granules are prime suspects. Recent clinical findings indicate that the generation of intracellular ROS by NADPH oxidase activation is important for limiting inflammatory reactions and that intracellular and extracellular ROS production are regulated differently. Here we discuss the accumulating knowledge of intracellular ROS production in phagocytes and speculate on the precise role of these oxidants in regulating the inflammatory process.

  • Measurement of respiratory burst products, released or retained, during activation of professional phagocytes.
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.). - Totowa, NJ : Humana Press. - 1940-6029. ; 1124, s. 321-38

    • Activation of professional phagocytes, potent microbial killers of our innate immune system, is associated with an increase in cellular consumption of molecular oxygen (O2). The consumed O2 is utilized by an NADPH-oxidase to generate highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) by a one electron reduction, initially generating superoxide anion (O2 (-)) that then dismutates to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The ROS are strongly bactericidal molecules but may also cause tissue destruction, and are capable of driving immune competent cells of both the innate and the adaptive immune systems into apoptosis. The development of basic techniques to measure/quantify ROS generation by phagocytes during activation of the respiratory burst is of great importance, and a large number of methods have been used for this purpose. A selection of methods, including chemiluminescence amplified by luminol or isoluminol, the absorbance change following reduction of cytochrome c, and the fluorescence increase upon oxidation of PHPA, are described in detail in this chapter with special emphasis on how to distinguish between ROS that are released extracellularly, and those that are retained within intracellular organelles. These techniques can be valuable tools in research spanning from basic phagocyte biology to more clinically oriented research on innate immune mechanisms and inflammation.

  • Turning Chemoattractant Receptors On and Off with Conventional Ligands and Allosteric Modulators: Recent advances in formyl peptide receptor signaling and regulation
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Inflammation and cell signaling. - : Smart Science and Technology, LLC. - 2330-7803 .- 2330-7803 .- 2330-779X. ; 1:1
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Recruitment and activation of neutrophils at sites of infection/inflammation relies largely on the surface expression of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) that recognize chemoattractants. One of these receptors, FPR1, for which formylated peptides generated by bacteria and mitochondria are high affinity agonists, was among the first human neutrophil GPCR to being cloned. This receptor shares large sequence homologies with FPR2, another member of the FPR-family expressed in human neutrophils and having a distinct ligand binding profile. The two FPRs transduce very similar neutrophil responses but possess somewhat different regulatory profiles. The FPRs have served as excellent model receptors in studies attempting to understand not only GPCR related regulation in general, but also receptor signaling in relation to innate immune reactivity and inflammation. Recent research has identified not only a large number of conventional ligands (agonist/antagonists) that regulate FPR activities by binding to surface exposed parts of the receptors, but also a number of membrane penetrating molecules that allosterically modulate receptor function after passing the membrane and interacting with the receptor on the cytosolic side. After activation, FPR signaling is rapidly terminated and the receptors become desensitized, a dormant state that can be achieved by multiple mechanisms. A coupling of the activated receptors to the actin cytoskeleton in a process that physically separates the receptors from the signaling G-protein is one such mechanism. Traditionally, the desensitized state has been viewed as a point of no return, but recent findings challenge this view and demonstrate that desensitized FPRs may in fact be reactivated to resume active signaling. The FPRs have also the capacity to communicate with other receptors in a hierarchical manner and this receptor cross-talk can both dampen and amplify neutrophil responses. In this review, we summarize some recent advances of our understanding how the FPRs can be turned on and off and discuss some future challenges, including mechanisms of allosteric modulation, receptor cross-talk, and FPR reactivation.

  • Collection of in vivo transmigrated neutrophils from human skin.
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.). - Totowa, NJ : Humana Press. - 1940-6029. ; 1124, s. 39-52

    • A wealth of knowledge on the life and death of human neutrophils has been obtained by the in vitro study of isolated cells derived from peripheral blood. However, neutrophils are of main importance, physiologically as well as pathologically, after they have left circulation and transmigrated to extravascular tissues. The journey from blood to tissue is complex and eventful, and tissue neutrophils are in many aspects distinct from the cells left in circulation. Here we describe how to obtain human tissue neutrophils in a controlled experimental setting from aseptic skin lesions created by the application of negative pressure. One protocol enables the direct analysis of the blister content, infiltrating leukocytes as well as exudate fluid, and is a simple method to follow multiple parameters of aseptic inflammation in vivo. Also described is the skin chamber technique, a method based on denuded skin blisters which are subsequently covered by collection chambers filled with autologous serum. Although slightly more artificial as compared to analysis of the blister content directly, the cellular yield of this skin chamber method is sufficient to perform a large number of functional analyses of in vivo transmigrated cells.

  • THE CONCISE GUIDE TO PHARMACOLOGY 2021/22: G protein-coupled receptors.
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: British journal of pharmacology. - : Wiley. - 1476-5381 .- 0007-1188. ; 178 Suppl 1, s. S27-S156
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2021/22 is the fifth in this series of biennial publications. The Concise Guide provides concise overviews, mostly in tabular format, of the key properties of nearly 1900 human drug targets with an emphasis on selective pharmacology (where available), plus links to the open access knowledgebase source of drug targets and their ligands (www.guidetopharmacology.org), which provides more detailed views of target and ligand properties. Although the Concise Guide constitutes over 500 pages, the material presented is substantially reduced compared to information and links presented on the website. It provides a permanent, citable, point-in-time record that will survive database updates. The full contents of this section can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/bph.15538. G protein-coupled receptors are one of the six major pharmacological targets into which the Guide is divided, with the others being: ion channels, nuclear hormone receptors, catalytic receptors, enzymes and transporters. These are presented with nomenclature guidance and summary information on the best available pharmacological tools, alongside key references and suggestions for further reading. The landscape format of the Concise Guide is designed to facilitate comparison of related targets from material contemporary to mid-2021, and supersedes data presented in the 2019/20, 2017/18, 2015/16 and 2013/14 Concise Guides and previous Guides to Receptors and Channels. It is produced in close conjunction with the Nomenclature and Standards Committee of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (NC-IUPHAR), therefore, providing official IUPHAR classification and nomenclature for human drug targets, where appropriate.

  • Basic characteristics of the neutrophil receptors that recognize formylated peptides, a danger-associated molecular pattern generated by bacteria and mitochondria.
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Biochemical pharmacology. - : Elsevier BV. - 1873-2968 .- 0006-2952. ; 114, s. 22-39
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Proper recruitment and activation of neutrophils to/at sites of infection/inflammation relies largely on the surface expression of chemoattractant receptors of which a formyl peptide receptor (FPR1) was the first to be cloned and characterized in more detail. This receptor displays high affinity for bacterial- or mitochondrial-derived peptides that contain a formylated methionine in the N-terminus. The neutrophil chemoattractant receptors belong to the group of 7-transmembrane domain receptors that signal through activation of heterotrimeric G proteins. These receptors have been shown to be important in host defense against microbial intruders and in regulating inflammatory reactions. The two FPRs (FPR1, FPR2) expressed in neutrophils share significant sequence homology and bind many structurally diverse activating (agonistic) and inhibiting (antagonistic) ligands, ranging from peptides to lipopeptides containing peptide sequences derived from intracellular regions of the FPRs. Recent structural and functional studies of the two neutrophil FPRs have generated important information for our understanding of general pharmacological principles, governing regulation of neutrophil function and inflammation and increased knowledge of more general G-protein coupled receptor features, such as ligand recognition, biased signaling, allosteric modulation, and a unique receptor cross-talk phenomenon. This article aims to summarize recent discoveries and pharmacological characterization of neutrophil FPRs and to discuss unmet challenges, including recognition by the receptors of diverse ligands and how biased signals mediate different biological effects.

  • G protein coupled pattern recognition receptors expressed in neutrophils: Recognition, activation/modulation, signaling and receptor regulated functions.
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Immunological reviews. - : Wiley. - 1600-065X .- 0105-2896. ; 314:1, s. 69-92

    • Neutrophils, the most abundant white blood cell in human blood, express receptors that recognize damage/microbial associated pattern molecules of importance for cell recruitment to sites of inflammation. Many of these receptors belong to the family of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). These receptor-proteins span the plasma membrane in expressing cells seven times and the down-stream signaling rely in most cases on an activation of heterotrimeric G proteins. The GPCRs expressed in neutrophils recognize a number of structurally diverse ligands (activating agonists, allosteric modulators, and inhibiting antagonists) and share significant sequence homologies. Studies of receptor structure and function have during the last 40 years generated important information on GPCR biology in general; this knowledge aids in the overall understanding of general pharmacological principles, governing regulation of neutrophil function and inflammatory processes, including novel leukocyte receptor activities related to ligand recognition, biased/functional selective signaling, allosteric modulation, desensitization, and reactivation mechanisms as well as communication (receptor transactivation/cross-talk) between GPCRs. This review summarizes the recent discoveries and pharmacological hallmarks with focus on some of the neutrophil expressed pattern recognition GPCRs. In addition, unmet challenges, including recognition by the receptors of diverse ligands and how biased signaling mediate different biological effects are described/discussed.

  • Ingår i: ACS Pharmacology and Translational Science. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 2575-9108. ; 3:2, s. 203-220
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Activation as well as recruitment of neutrophils, the most abundant leukocyte in human blood, to sites of infection/inflammation largely rely on surface-exposed chemoattractant receptors. These receptors belong to the family of 7-transmembrane domain receptors also known as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) due to the fact that part of the downstream signaling relies on an activation of heterotrimeric G proteins. The neutrophil GPCRs share significant sequence homologies but bind many structurally diverse activating (agonistic) and inhibiting (antagonistic) ligands, ranging from fatty acids to purines, peptides, and lipopeptides. Recent structural and functional studies of neutrophil receptors have generated important information on GPCR biology in general; this knowledge aids in the overall understanding of general pharmacological principles, governing regulation of neutrophil function and inflammatory processes, including novel leukocyte receptor activities related to ligand recognition, biased/functional selective signaling, allosteric modulation, desensitization mechanisms and reactivation, and communication (cross-talk) between GPCRs. This review summarizes the recent discoveries and pharmacological hallmarks with focus on neutrophil GPCRs. In addition, unmet challenges are dealt with, including recognition by the receptors of diverse ligands and how biased signaling mediates different biological effects. © 2020 American Chemical Society.
