This year we continued our investigations of the basis for excessive granuloma formation in CGD. We showed that CGD neutrophils make two to four-fold more IL-8 chemoattractant and a sustained IL-8 mRNA response compared with normal neutrophils. Moreover, normal neutrophils treated with catalase to scavange extracellular hydrogen peroxide, or treated with diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI) to inhibit NADPH oxidase, exhibit IL-8 responses comparable to CGD neutrophils. In contrast, there is no difference in the fMLF-induced transient increases in IL-1a protein and IL-1a mRNA in CGD vs. normal neutrophils. In addition, fMLF fails to induce increases in IL-1a, TNF-a, IL-6, IL-1ra or other chemokines in normal neutrophils treated with either catalase or DPI. Addition of hydrogen peroxide or a hydrogen peroxide-generating system (hypoxanthine plus xanthine oxidase) suppresses the sustained IL-8 mRNA and increased protein production observed in CGD neutrophils. These results indicate that effectors downstream of the activation of NADPH oxidase negatively regulate IL-8 mRNA in normal neutrophils and their absence in CGD cells results in prolonged IL-8 mRNA transcription and enhanced IL-8 levels. This abnormal regulation of IL-8 may contribute to the excess granuloma formation in CGD. Reactive oxygen species may play a critical role in regulating inflammation through this mechanism. We continued our studies of fibrinogen as a regulator of IL-8 production. In previous work we showed that fibrinogen amplifies IL-8 synthesis in neutrophils stimulated with other chemoattractants such as fmet-leu-phe and LTB4. We extended this studies to human monocytes and showed that addition of fibrinogen below normal plasma concentrations (less than 2 mg/ml) amplified IL-8 production by monocytes as well as increased IL-6 and TNF alpha production. In contrast, fibrinogen had no effect on monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), inteferon-beta, or interferon inducible protein-10 (IP-10). Treatment of monocytes with fibrinogen (less than 2 mg/ml) and complement 5 fragment, C5a, resulted in a 100% increase in both IL-8 and IL-6 prod8uction, compared to fibrinogen treatment alone. This was associated with a transient increase in monocyte IL-8 mRNA and NF-kB activity. Monocytes from patients with defective LPS and IL-1 signaling through the Toll-like receptor pathway (NEMO deficiency and IRAK-4 deficiency)had 80% reduced IL-8 response to fibrinogen compared with normal monocytes. Moreover, normal monocyte responses to fibrinogen were blocked by antibody that blocks CD14, a subunit of the LPS receptor that transduces signal throug TLR 4. MY4 had no effect on cytokine production induced by PMA and ionomycin. Concentrations of fibrinogen above 2mg/ml inhibited these responses.

今年，我们继续对CGD中过度肉芽肿的基础进行调查。我们表明，与正常嗜中性粒细胞相比，CGD中性粒细胞的IL-8趋化剂和持续的IL-8 mRNA反应增加了2至4倍。此外，用过氧化氢酶处理的正常嗜中性粒细胞清除细胞外氢过氧化氢，或用二苯基二元二氧化二碳化物（DPI）治疗以抑制NADPH氧化酶，表现出与CGD中性粒细胞相当的IL-8反应。相比之下，FMLF诱导的IL-1A蛋白和IL-1A mRNA的瞬时增加与正常中性粒细胞没有差异。此外，FMLF无法诱导IL-1A，TNF-A，IL-6，IL-1RA或其他用过氧化氢酶或DPI处理的正常中性粒细胞中的IL-1A增加。添加过氧化氢或过氧化氢产生系统（假氨酸加黄氨酸氧化酶）抑制持续的IL-8 mRNA，并在CGD中性粒细胞中观察到的蛋白质产生增加。这些结果表明，NADPH氧化酶激活下游的效应子在正常嗜中性粒细胞中负调控IL-8 mRNA，并且在CGD细胞中的缺失导致IL-8 mRNA转录延长和IL-8水平延长。 IL-8的这种异常调节可能导致CGD中过量的肉芽肿形成。活性氧可能在通过这种机制来调节炎症中起关键作用。 我们继续研究纤维蛋白原作为IL-8产生的调节剂。在先前的工作中，我们表明，纤维蛋白原扩增在其他趋化因子（例如FMET-LEU-PHE和LTB4）刺激的中性粒细胞中的IL-8合成。我们将这项研究扩展到人的单核细胞，并表明纤维蛋白原的添加低于正常血浆浓度（小于2 mg/ml），单核细胞的放大IL-8产生，以及增加的IL-6和TNFα产生。相比之下，纤维蛋白原对单核细胞趋化蛋白-1（MCP-1），Inteferon-beta或干扰素诱导蛋白10（IP-10）没有影响。与单独的纤维蛋白原治疗相比，用纤维蛋白原（小于2 mg/ml）和补体5片段的单核细胞和补体5片段的治疗导致IL-8和IL-6产物8的单核细胞增加100％。这与单核细胞IL-8 mRNA和NF-KB活性的短暂增加有关。与正常单核细胞相比，通过TOLL样受体途径（NEMO缺乏症和IRAK-4缺乏症）的单核细胞通过TOLL样受体途径（NEMO缺乏和IRAK-4缺乏症）的单核细胞降低了IL-8对纤维蛋白原的反应80％。此外，正常的单核细胞对纤维蛋白原的反应被阻断CD14的抗体阻断，CD14是LPS受体的亚基，该亚基传递信号TLR TLR4。MY4对PMA和IONYMYCIN诱导的细胞因子产生没有影响。纤维蛋白原的浓度高于2mg/mL，抑制了这些反应。
