Exocytic events in neutrophil-mediated inflammation.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the exocytic events in neutrophil-mediated inflammation. Therefore, we first investigated the expression of genes implicated in these exocytic events in a cell model for neutrophils, the promyelocytic HL-60 cell line. By the addition of 1.3% DMSO during 4.5 days, these cells are differentiated into neutrophil-like dHL-60 cells. Non-differentiated cells served as control. Upon cell differentiation, we i) identified differentially expressed genes implicated in the mechanisms of vesicle transport, and ii) found some of them being upregulated. This upregulated gene expression upon DMSO-maturation points towards a functional role in these cells. Secondly, we confirmed the expression of the selected genes in human neutrophils, isolated from venou
