| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Immunosuppressive neutrophils (PMN-II) appeared in association with surgical injury play a role on the increased susceptibility of patient to various infections. In the present study, a role of PMN-II on the production of beta-defensins (BD), the important molecules on the host antimicrobial innate immunities, by human keratinocytes was studied. Normal human epidermal keratinocytes were transwell-cultured with neutrophils, isolated from surgical patients or normal volunteers. The production of BD by NHEK was suppressed by PMN from surgical patients. The culture fluids of NHEK cultured with surgical patient PMN showed decreased antimicrobial activities, as compared with controls. PMN isolated from peripheral blood of surgical patients were confirmed as PMN-II, because these cells produced CCL2, but not IL-12 and CCL3. These results indicate that PMN-II appeared in association with surgical injury contribute to the decreased production of BD in surgically injured patients.
