Effects of C-reactive protein on human neutrophil granulocytes challenged with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine and platelet-activating factor.

Abstract:

:The effects of C-reactive protein (CRP), the prototypical acute-phase reactant were studied on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) challenged with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) and platelet-activating factor (PAF). CRP at 8-64 micrograms/ml concentrations inhibited degranulation and superoxide production by PMNL in time-, and dose-dependent manner and stabilized PMNL membranes against the lytic effect of lysophosphatidylcholine. CRP was also capable of binding PAF and in lesser extent fMLP. Furthermore, CRP, 32 micrograms/ml, diminished specific binding of [3H]-fMLP and [3H]-PAF to PMNL. These findings imply that CRP may play an important protective role during the early phase of acute inflammatory reactions.
