Abstract

Rat neutrophil chemotactic responses to N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), leukotriene (LT) B4, and lipopolysaccharide-activated serum (LPS-AS) were quantitatively assessed using the micropore filter system. Cells were suspended in either normal or diabetic rat serum for testing. Diabetic donor serum did not affect migration of neutrophils in a concentration gradient of the synthetic chemotactic agents. In contrast, the migratory responses to LPS-AS were significantly less than normal in this circumstance. Summation of effects was observed when FMLP and LPS-AS, or LTB4 and LPS-AS were simultaneously added to the test chamber, with cells suspended in normal serum. Suspended in diabetic rat serum neutrophils responded normally to the synthetic chemoattractants but the response to the activated serum was blocked. Cells previously incubated in the presence of diabetic donor serum then transferred to a culture medium for testing, presented reduced migratory responses to LPS-AS. Supramaximal, inhibitory concentrations of FMLP and LTB4, did not influence the response of neutrophils to LPS-AS.In vivo, suppression of cellular emigration to an inflamed area was observed from the early stages of the diabetic state. The inhibitory activity of chemotaxis in diabetes mellitus was previously reported to be associated with a protein factor in plasma of the animals. It is suggested that the inhibitory factor of chemotaxis in diabetes mellitus interacts with neutrophil receptors for complement-derived chemoattractants to induce blockade of cell-oriented locomotion eitherin vitro orin vivo.
