| Abstract | The polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) depends on glucose as a source of energy for motility, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and bactericidal activity. Activated complement (C5a) at low concentrations stimulates carrier-mediated carbohydrate transport in PMNLs as measured by the uptake of 2-deoxy-D-[(3)H]glucose. Human PMNLs were preincubated at 37 degrees C for 15 min with zymosan-activated human serum or various purified preparations of human C5a. A concentration-dependent increase in deoxyglucose transport (>700% of control) into PMNLs occurred with all test substances. Reaction was linear for 30 min, and uptake of deoxyglucose followed saturation kinetics. C5a caused a decrease in the K(m) for deoxyglucose, from 0.53 to 0.11 mM, without altering the V(max) (44 nmol/30 min per 5 x 10(6) PMNLs in control and 46.6 with C5a). The optimal concentration of C5a for enhanced carrier-mediated transport of deoxyglucose was similar to that which promoted optimal chemotaxis. Activated serum from C5-deficient mice had little or no effect on deoxyglucose transport whereas that from normal syngeneic mice enhanced deoxyglucose transport. C5a did not enhance deoxyglucose transport into isolated erythrocytes, platelets, or lymphocytes. The deoxyglucose within the cell was primarily in the phosphorylated form, and hexokinase activity was not increased in PMNLs stimulated with C5a, indicating that hexokinase was not rate limiting and that enhanced transport was the mechanism of the C5a activity. Insulin at physiologic concentration (10 ng/ml) had no effect on deoxyglucose transport in PMNL and did not act as a competitive inhibitor of C5a. This insulin-like bioactivity could be detected with the amount of C5a that would be present after activation of 0.1-0.5% of the C5 in 1 ml of serum. This suggests that uptake of [(3)H]deoxyglucose by PMNLs might serve as a highly sensitive test for activation of the fifth component of complement. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
