Study the effect of components of destroyed streptococci on human blood monocyte functions related to processes of trans-endothelial migration in vitro.
Mononuclear leukocytes, isolated from blood of healthy donors, endothelial cells of EA.hy 926 line and supernatant of ultrasound disintegrated Streptococcus pyogenes (DSS) were the objects of the study. Evaluation of adhesion and monocyte migration, level of expression of adhesion molecules and phosphokinases on monocytes was carried out by flow cytometry using monoclonal antibodies. Cytokine concentration was determined by using standard commercial test systems in enzyme immunoassay.
Under the effect of DSS, expression of adhesion molecules CD162 and CD11b, as well as phospho-p38 MAPK changed, IL-6 and IL-8 secretion induction took place. DSS caused enhancement of migration and adhesive activity of monocytes, however, inhibited intensity of trans-endothelial migration.
Products of destroyed streptococci have a multi-directional effect on human blood monocytes, that could be explained by the presence of components with varying biological activity in DSS.
