Suppressive Role of Bam32/DAPP1 in Chemokine-Induced Neutrophil Recruitment.

ABSTRACT: Bam32 (B cell adaptor molecule of 32 kDa) functions in the immune responses of various leukocytes. However, the role of neutrophil Bam32 in inflammation is entirely unknown. Here, we determined the role of Bam32 in chemokine CXCL2-induced neutrophil chemotaxis in three mouse models of neutrophil recruitment. By using intravital microscopy in the mouse cremaster muscle, we found that transmigrated neutrophil number, neutrophil chemotaxis velocity, and total neutrophil chemotaxis distance were increased in Bam32-/- mice when compared with wild-type (WT) mice. In CXCL2-induced mouse peritonitis, the total emigrated neutrophils were increased in Bam32-/- mice at 2 but not 4 h. The CXCL2-induced chemotaxis distance and migration velocity of isolated Bam32-/- neutrophils in vitro were increased.
