The regulatory effects of PTK on neutrophils in response to transmembrane TNF-? and secreted TNF-? / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the effects of PTK on the respiratory burst and release of NO by neutrophils in response to transmembrane TNF-?( TM-TNF-?) and secreted TNF-? ( S-TNF-?). Methods: The effects of PTK inhibitor on the functions of neutrophils caused by both forms of TNF-? was detected with the chemiluminescence and the nitrate reductase assay.The tyrosine phosphorylation of neutrophils induced by the two forms of TNF-? was compared by Western blotting analysis. Results: The PTK inhibitor genistein (50 ?mol/L) was found not only to depress the respiratory burst of neutrophils induced by S-TNF-?( P
