    Notes: Abstract The effect of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) on human neutrophil activation was examined by a combination of automated tracking assays, cell shape measurements and assays of the metabolic burst by means of 7-dimethylamino-naphthalene-1,2-dicarbonic acid hydrazide (DNDH)-dependent chemiluminescence. LPA powerfully stimulated polarisation and motility. Polarisation became detectable at 2 μM LPA and virtually 100% of cells were polarised at 20 μM LPA. Cell motility increased with the degree of polarisation, and was diminished at high LPA concentration, but this decrease was reversed by albumin. LPA also inhibited the metabolic burst response to both n-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Inhibition of the PMA-induced metabolic burst by LPA was not affected by pertussis toxin, showing that the effect was not mediated by the pertussis toxin-sensitive heterotrimeric G protein, and that inhibition of the PMA-stimulated metabolic burst by LPA could result from a direct action of LPA on the small cytosolic GTP-binding proteins. These results indicate that lysophosphatidic acid production by thrombin-activated platelets could play a significant role in the regulation of the inflammatory response.

    Notes: Abstract A monocyte-derived steroid-induced factor has been shown previously to induce dispersive locomotion in human neutrophils and to lower adhesion to an albumin-coated glass surface. In this paper we show that this factor inhibits adhesion of neutrophils to bovine aorta and human endothelial cells by an undetermined mechanism. It induces unique changes in neutrophil shape with a characteristic monopolar pattern of F-actin distribution, which may correlate with the dispersive locomotion observed in the absence of a concentration gradient. This factor also inhibits N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-induced chemotaxis of neutrophils in a modified Boyden chamber assay. The reduction of adhesion and the inhibition of chemotaxis by the factor in vitro indicate a possible in vivo anti-inflammatory role.
