The synthetic chemoattractant Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-DMet activates neutrophils preferentially through the lipoxin A(4) receptor.

C Dahlgren et al.

Blood, 95(5), 1810-1818 (2000-02-26)

A D-methionine-containing peptide, Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-D-Met-NH(2) (WKYMVm), featuring a unique receptor specificity was investigated with respect to its ability to activate neutrophil effector functions. The peptide was found to be more potent than the N-formylated peptide N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLF) at inducing neutrophil chemotaxis

The TLR7/8 agonist CL097 primes N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-stimulated NADPH oxidase activation in human neutrophils: critical role of p47phox phosphorylation and the proline isomerase Pin1.

Karama Makni-Maalej et al.

Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950), 189(9), 4657-4665 (2012-09-25)

Superoxide anion production by the neutrophil NADPH oxidase plays a key role in host defense; however, excessive superoxide production is believed to participate to inflammatory reactions. Neutrophils express several TLR that recognize a variety of microbial motifs or agonists. The

Inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin aggravates the respiratory burst defect of neutrophils from decompensated patients with cirrhosis.

Loïc Rolas et al.

Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.), 57(3), 1163-1171 (2012-10-20)

Cirrhosis is commonly accompanied by impaired defense functions of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs), increased patient susceptibility to infections, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PMN antimicrobial activity is dependent on a massive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
