    Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) activates human neutrophils, enhancing their adherence and aggregation. This suggests PDGF plays a key role in attracting inflammatory cells to injury sites and in tumor-associated inflammation.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a significant mitogen for mesenchymal cells.
    • PDGF acts as a chemoattractant for various immune cells, including monocytes and neutrophils.
    • PDGF's role in cellular transformation has been previously suggested.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of PDGF on human peripheral blood neutrophil activation.
    • To characterize the specific neutrophil responses induced by PDGF.
    • To determine the dose-dependency and comparability of PDGF-induced neutrophil activation.

    Main Methods:

    • Measurement of membrane-associated calcium loss using chlortetracycline fluorescence.
    • Assay of superoxide anion release.

  • Quantification of specific granule enzyme release.
  • Assessment of neutrophil adherence and aggregation.
  • Dose-response analysis of PDGF concentrations (10-40 ng/mL).

    • Main Results:

    • PDGF stimulated neutrophil activation, evidenced by calcium efflux and chlortetracycline fluorescence loss.
    • PDGF induced the release of superoxide anion and specific granule enzymes.
    • Enhanced neutrophil adherence and aggregation were observed in response to PDGF.
    • These effects were dose-dependent and comparable to fMLP and C5a.
    • PDGF-induced degranulation selectively targeted secondary granules.

    Conclusions:

    • PDGF is a potent activator of human neutrophils, inducing degranulation, superoxide release, and aggregation.
    • PDGF's ability to attract and activate neutrophils positions it as crucial in inflammatory responses at sites of vascular injury.
    • PDGF may also contribute to neutrophil recruitment and activation in inflammatory conditions associated with tumors.
