Abnormal polymorphonuclear leucocyte chemotaxis in Behçet's syndrome.

D W James, J R Walker, M J Smith

    Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases
    |June 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) in Behçet's syndrome show increased in vitro chemotaxis but decreased in vivo response. This study explores the contradictory findings in PMN behavior within Behçet's syndrome patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Behçet's syndrome is a complex inflammatory disorder.
    • Polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) play a critical role in inflammation.
    • Understanding PMN function in Behçet's syndrome is crucial for disease management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the chemotactic response of PMNs in patients with Behçet's syndrome.
    • To reconcile contradictory findings from in vitro and in vivo experiments.
    • To correlate PMN behavior with the clinical and histological features of Behçet's syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro chemotaxis assays using modified Boyden chambers.
    • In vivo chemotaxis assessment using skin chambers placed over abrasions.

  • Comparison of PMN responses between Behçet's syndrome patients and healthy controls.

    • Main Results:

    • PMNs from Behçet's syndrome patients exhibited enhanced chemotaxis in vitro compared to normal cells.
    • Conversely, the in vivo chemotactic response of PMNs in Behçet's syndrome patients was reduced.
    • A discrepancy was observed between in vitro and in vivo PMN migratory behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • The study highlights a paradoxical chemotactic response of PMNs in Behçet's syndrome.
    • Findings suggest complex regulatory mechanisms influencing PMN function in vivo.
    • The results may offer insights into the pathogenesis and histological manifestations of Behçet's syndrome.
