Blockades of phospholipase A(2) and platelet-activating factor receptors reduce the hemocyte phagocytosis in Rhodnius prolixus: in vitro experiments.

Abstract:

:The hemocytes phagocytosis in response to microorganisms may play an important role in the cellular immune responses of insects. Here, we have evaluated the effects of the platelet-activating factor (PAF) and eicosanoids in the phagocytosis of hemocyte monolayers of Rhodnius prolixus to the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Experiments showed that the phagocytosis of yeast cells by Rhodnius hemocytes is very efficient in both controls and cells treated with PAF and arachidonic acid. Phagocytosis of yeast particles is significantly blocked when the specific phopholipase A(2) inhibitor, dexamethasone, is applied on the hemocytes. By contrast, dexamethasone-pretreated hemocyte monolayers exhibit a drastic increase in the quantity of yeast cell-hemocyte internalization when the cells are treated by arachidonic acid. In addition, phagocytosis presents significant reduction in hemocyte monolayers treated with a specific PAF receptor antagonist, WEB 2086. Nevertheless, inhibition of phagocytosis with WEB 2086 is counteracted by the treatment of the hemocyte monolayers with PAF. In conclusion, phagocytosis of yeast cells by hemocytes is related to the activation of PAF receptors and eicosanoid pathways in the bloodsucking bug, R. prolixus.
