Cell surface receptor modulation on monocytes and granulocytes during clinical and experimental hemodialysis.
We studied the modulation of cell surface receptors related to cell adhesion (L-selectin and Mac-1) on monocytes and granulocytes during clinical (7 patients treated with cuprophan, Cu, and polysulfone, PS, membranes, n = 14) and experimental Cu and PS hemodialysis (n = 14). The objective was to compare cell surface receptor modulation in vivo when large subpopulations of cells are withdrawn from the circulating pool with the experimental model when cells are not sequestrated. The expression of Mac-1 and L-selectin on monocytes increased during clinical Cu dialysis (p = 0.024 and p = 0.0096, respectively) but remained stable during PS dialysis. On granulocytes, an inverse receptor modulation of Mac-1 and L-selectin was observed during clinical Cu dialysis but not during PS dialysis. Mac-1 was significantly higher and L-selectin lower on granulocytes after 15 min of clinical Cu as compared to PS dialysis (p = 0.001 and p = 0.0093, respectively). During experimental Cu dialysis, Mac-1 expression increased and L-selectin decreased markedly and continuously on both monocytes and granulocytes. The L-selectin/Mac-1 ratio on monocytes and granulocytes may be used as an index of the ability of leukocytes to adhere and to be recruited to an inflammatory focus. This ratio was significantly lower during clinical Cu as compared to PS dialysis (p = 0.0008 and p = 0.0015 respectively) indicating that the recruitment of leukocytes to infection foci may be precluded in patients on Cu membranes. Both monocytes and granulocytes showed significantly lower L-selectin/Mac-1 ratio during and after experimental Cu as compared to PS dialysis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
