The priming effect of halogenated phospholipids on the functional responses of human neutrophils

Halogenated lipids formed in the reactions with myeloperoxidase (MPO)-derived species may contribute to the regulation of the functional activity of cells. In the present study we have investigated the effects of chloro- and bromohydrins formed in the HOCl and HOBr reactions, respectively, with 1-pa...

Description
Summary:Halogenated lipids formed in the reactions with myeloperoxidase (MPO)-derived species may contribute to the regulation of the functional activity of cells. In the present study we have investigated the effects of chloro- and bromohydrins formed in the HOCl and HOBr reactions, respectively, with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl- sn -glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) on three different functional responses of human neutrophils: H 2 O 2 generation, degranulation (MPO exocytosis), and cell aggregation. It was shown that POPC chloro- and bromohydrins (POPC-Cl and POPC-Br) induced the priming of neutrophils, resulting in significant upregulation of cell responses to neutrophil stimulators such as N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe and lectin from Solanum tuberosum . The stimulating effects of POPC-Cl and POPC-Br were observed at low micromolar concentrations (liposomal concentration of POPC, 0.5–5 μM; the content of POPC-Cl or POPC-Br, 38 ± 3% of total lipids) after a short exposure (about 5 min) of the neutrophils to POPC-Cl or POPC-Br. These results suggest that halogenated lipids formed in vivo via MPO-dependent reactions may be considered as a new class of biologically active substances that are potentially able to contribute to the priming of myeloid cells in the sites of inflammation and serve as inflammatory response modulators.
