| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To clarify the mechanism of pathogenesis in inflammatory diseases, we analyzed chemotaxis pattern of neutrophils to chemoattractants. The migration pattern to fMLP or IL-8 was linear, but the pattern to LTB4 or PAF was winding and twisting. The linear pattern of migration to fMLP or IL-8 was related to the unipolar and stable morphology of the cells. By contrast, the winding and twisting pattern of migration to LTB4 or PAF was related to the multipolar and unstable morphology. Also, we found that the priority order among these 4 ligands in neutrophil chemotaxis was as follows: fMLP > IL-8 >> LTB4 = PAF. These findings contribute to controlling inflammation and the development of new anti-inflammatory agents.
