Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) are effectors involved in parturition through immunoregulatory networks. Although PMNs consist of a substantial population of leukocytes, sex-differences remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate cellular diversity of PMNs in rats monitored using a specific monoclonal antibody, RP-3. Cell-sorting analyses showed strong reactivity to RP-3 (RP-3high) in the majority of male-PMNs, whereas female-PMNs included an additional population of cells showing low reactivity (RP-3low). In pregnant, cyclical changes between these two-group were observed during the gestational-day (GD). Especially, the majority of PMNs were RP-3high at GD-19, followed by a strong increase in RP-3low at GD-20, with the distinction maintained until before partum. In addition, a subtype having almost no reactivity to RP-3 on the PMN surface (RP-3surface null) was observed after RP-3 intraperitoneal injection. These results suggest that there may be three PMN types in female rats.
