5-Oxo-eicosatetraenoate (5-oxoETE) is gaining recognition as a chemotactic factor for eosinophilic (Eo) as well as neutrophilic (Neu) polymorphonuclear leukocytes. We found that the eicosanoid was far stronger than C5a, platelet-activating factor (PAF), leukotriene B4 (LTB4), or FMLP in stimulating Eo chemotaxis. Moreover, it had weak intrinsic degranulating effects on otherwise unstimulated Eo, produced prominent degranulation responses in Eo primed by granulocyte-macrophage CSF, and enhanced the Eo-degranulating potencies of PAF, C5a, LTB4, and FMLP by up to 10,000-fold. Low picomolar levels of 5-oxoETE also induced Eo to activate mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), as defined by shifts in the electrophoretic mobility and tyrosine phosphorylation of two immunodetectable proteins, p44 and p42. 5-OxoETE was > or = 100-fold weaker or unable to stimulate any of these responses in Neu. Finally, 5-oxo-15-hydroxy-ETE and 5-hydroxy-ETE activated both cell types, but were weaker than 5-oxoETE and had Eo/Neu potency ratios approaching unity. 5-OxoETE, thus, is uniquely potent and selective in promoting Eo not only to migrate, but also to release granule enzymes and activate MAPKs. By triggering MAPK activation, the eicosanoid may also influence the production of anaphylactoid lipids (e.g., PAF), arachidonic acid metabolites, and cytokines. 5-OxoETE therefore possesses a biologic profile well suited for mediating Eo-dominated allergic reactions in vivo.

The question of how changes in chemoattractant concentration translate into the chemotactic response of immune cells serves as a paradigm for the quantitative understanding of how cells perceive and process temporal and spatial information. Here, using a microfluidic approach, we analyzed the migration of neutrophil-like HL-60 cells to a traveling wave of the chemoattractants N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4). We found that under a pulsatile wave that travels at a speed of 95 and 170 µm/min, cells move forward in the front of the wave but slow down and randomly orient at the back due to temporal decrease in the attractant concentration.

Here, we demonstrate that human neutrophil interaction with the bacterium fuels leukotriene B4 synthesis induced by the chemoattractant fMLP. In this work, we found that extracellular ATP (eATP), the amount of which increases sharply during tissue damage, can effectively regulate fMLP-induced leukotriene B4 synthesis. The vector of influence strongly depends on the particular stage of sequential stimulation of neutrophils by bacteria and on the stage at which fMLP purinergic signaling occurs.

Neutrophils play a primary role in protecting our body from pathogens. When confronted with invading bacteria, neutrophils begin to produce leukotriene B4, a potent chemoattractant that, in cooperation with the primary bacterial chemoattractant fMLP, stimulates the formation of swarms of neutrophils surrounding pathogens. Here we describe a complex redox regulation that either stimulates or inhibits fMLP-induced leukotriene synthesis in an experimental model of neutrophils interacting with .

Article Synopsis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious lung condition marked by limited airflow due to chronic inflammation and increased neutrophil activity in the airways.
- This study used a specialized microfluidic platform to assess how well neutrophils migrate in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from COPD patients compared to healthy controls and found that BALF from COPD patients prompted stronger neutrophil movement.
- The research indicated a possible negative relationship between the migration of neutrophils and the severity of COPD, suggesting that neutrophil chemotaxis might be a useful marker for evaluating the disease in the future.

Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response to infection. It is a common and complex syndrome and is the leading cause of death in intensive care units. The lungs are most vulnerable to the challenge of sepsis, and the incidence of respiratory dysfunction has been reported to be up to 70%, in which neutrophils play a major role.
