摘要:

We hypothesized that changes in extracellular pressure during inflammation or infection regulate macrophage phagocytosis through modulating the focal adhesion kinase (FAK)-ERK pathway. Undifferentiated (monocyte-like) or PMA-differentiated (macrophage-like) THP-1 cells were incubated at 37 degrees C with serum-opsonized latex beads under ambient or 20-mmHg increased pressure. Pressure did not affect monocyte phagocytosis but significantly increased macrophage phagocytosis (29.9 +/- 1.8 vs. 42.0 +/- 1.6%, n = 9, P 75% and the basal amount of phosphorylated FAK by 25% and significantly increased basal macrophage phagocytosis (P < 0.05). Pressure inhibited FAK-Y397 phosphorylation in mock-transfected or scrambled SiRNA-transfected macrophages, but phosphorylated FAK was not significantly reduced further by pressure in cells transfected with FAK SiRNA. Pressure increased phagocytosis in all three groups. However, FAK-SiRNA-transfected cells exhibited only 40% of the pressure effect on phagocytosis observed in scrambled SiRNA-transfected cells so that phagocytosis inversely paralleled FAK activation. PD-98059 (50 microM), an ERK activation inhibitor, increased basal phagocytosis (26.9 +/- 1.8 vs. 31.7 +/- 1.1%, n = 15, P < 0.05), but pressure did not further increase phagocytosis in PD-98059-treated cells. Pressure also inhibited ERK activation after mock transfection or transfection with scrambled SiRNA, but transfection of FAK SiRNA abolished ERK inhibition by pressure. Pressure did not increase phagocytosis in MonoMac-1 cells that do not express FAK. Increased extracellular pressure during infection or inflammation enhances macrophage phagocytosis by inhibiting FAK and, consequently, decreasing ERK activation.
